a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 2 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Primrose Bank Residential Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 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 4.875 for Primrose Bank Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.875
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 3.472 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Primrose Bank Residential Care Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 9 positive Reviews (45 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 9 Target = 0.222

Review submitted from a Website Submission by D M (Son of Resident) on Monday 12 February 2018. Relates to January 2018.
After having reservations about where best to place my father for ongoing care, I’m so glad I chose Primrose Bank. He has been so well cared for and looked after by all the staff there. The staff always have a friendly smile and nothing is too much trouble.
My father has really come out of his shell, after a number of health setbacks at home he had lost confidence in himself and his abilities, this has been retained with the nurturing support of the staff and for that, I’m very grateful.
It’s nice to see him happy and settled and know that when we visit we are warmly welcomed, the inclusion of family and friends in their activities and “supper club” is a really nice touch knowing that we can still have our family “outings” despite my father no longer residing at home.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Elaine F (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 8 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
Mum has been here happily for a year. Management and staff are approachable, caring, helpful, respectful and kind. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for them. Comfort, cleanliness and safety of the residents is of high priority. Friends and relatives are welcomed and their views and ideas often sought, allowing them to feel inclusive and relaxed, knowing any concerns can be discussed and acted upon. Activities are well organised by a dedicated organiser and are appropriate and varied to accommodate varying needs of the residents. Friends and family are encouraged to join residents for excellent meals - best supper club in the area! Burns night was outstanding. I am thrilled mum has settled so well, this is solely due to the professional operation and commitment of management and staff.
