The Review Score of 8.8 (maximum of 10) for Brown Edge House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 4 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Brown Edge House Residential Home in Google's Search Results - more info
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 5 for Brown Edge House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
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 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brown Edge House 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 4 positive Reviews (20 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 4 Target = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

The home is brilliant. The staff are fantastic, friendly and can't do enough for the residents or visitors. The home is spotlessly clean.

I cannot praise the amazing staff highly enough for the quality of care given to my dad during his time at Brown Edge House. Choosing a care home for a much-loved family member is such a daunting experience. Brown Edge House is a real family centred home from home.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by John J (Son of Resident) on Monday 5 September 2016. Relates to July 2016.
My mum is currently a resident at Brown Edge House Residential Home. Me and my family live in Lincolnshire (a good 2 1/2 hour drive away) and it gives us a great deal of comfort to know that she is being so well looked after by the wonderful staff at the home. Whenever we visit mum we are made so welcome by all the staff and when we have to leave, the management and the staff give us all the reassurance we need that she is in safe hands and being well looked after by the homes caring staff. Despite the stance between us, I do not worry he is being well looked after and would hesitate to recommend the home to anyone.
