b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.87 for Hillcrest Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (20 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.87
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hillcrest Residential Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 3.4 positive Reviews (17 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 3.4 Target = 0.588
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Dad and I have enjoyed his first Christmas party at Hillcrest. The atmosphere was warm, friendly and very welcoming. You could see and feel how much the staff loved and cared for everyone. Visitors and residents were having much fun dancing and singing along with the singer. Lovely buffet for all. So nice to meet everyone. Dad enjoyed himself very much. Thank you to all involved, you put on a great party! Dad is extremely well looked after in a caring and homely environment. It was lovely to hear other comments from visitors as to how well their loved ones are looked after and appreciated the commitment of all the staff who work in the home.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Kathryn R (Daughter of Resident) on Sunday 26 November 2017. Relates to September 2017.
My mother was given excellent care by professional, friendly and very caring staff. The owners ensure there is a homely environment and food is cooked on site. The staff work hard to ensure individual needs are met, and communicate appropriately with relatives. In my mother’s case, the staff had a very good working relationship with the local GP, who was also excellent in pursuing the local community health providers to ensure Mum was given end of life care. The homeowner was very supportive in Mums discharge from Hospital, back to her forever home, for end of life care, where she was cared for by staff who knew and cared for her. They also supported the family in a very difficult time.
Prior to Mums illness, she was taken out to social events within the local community which she really enjoyed.
Hillcrest is a very homely environment, in an old building, which has its own charm and warmth, where residents are very well looked after by caring staff.
