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 4.889 for The Laurels is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.889
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 3.528 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Laurels is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 7.2 positive Reviews (36 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 7.2 Target = 0.278
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Much effort made in making the home attractive and ready for Christmas in spite of remedial work being undertaken. Care was taken to ensure that the residents had an enjoyable time.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Heather B (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 12 July 2017. Relates to June 2017.
My parents have been residents of The Laurels for just over a year. The care and support that they have each received has been excellent. My parents' needs have changed considerably over that time and this was anticipated and accommodated at every step. All of the staff are wonderful with the residents, from the manager to the cleaning staff. The food is home cooked and the house is clean and bright. There are weekly activities laid on and regular visits from local churches. I have no hesitation in recommending The Laurels to you. The provision of care is person centred and optimises each residents' level of wellness and wellbeing.

We cannot thank the home enough for the care dignity and respect they are showing toward my husbands Great Aunt, she and the family are being treated with such compassion. A truly fantastic home and it is a credit to the manager and the staff.
Nothing is to much trouble for them and there is always someone on hand to answer any questions and concerns we may have.
We are always greeted with a smile at the door and the home is always clean smelling and a pleasure to enter, the staff are pleasant and warm toward all residents within the home
