Review from J C (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with Sherwood Care Home in Rishton ..: Mum .. who specified that she wanted just a small care home, and it did not disappoint. It definitely had that home from home environment with only a few residents.. .. as only six residents at any one time.
It was a comfortable, clean tranquil
peaceful atmosphere..
The Manager , deputy manager and staff we met were kind and very understanding of Mums requirements..After our initial visit as daughters (of our Mum )trying to find the right place .. we knew we'd found it..
So we visited again this time with Mum for a couple of hours , you could say a taster visit.. this was a few days later and was greeted by the same warmth and professionalism we had received.previously, putting us all at ease ,knowing that Sherwood Care Home was the place for Mums short stay respite..
Communication was brilliant .
A very niche care home that we would consider again for Mum be it short or long term care..
Well done Sherwood Care Home ..

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been here almost 12 months now. She is very happy - she thinks she’s in a hotel and says she is well looked after. Every carer is so easy to speak with all of them are worth their weight in gold... bless you all.

I visit my friend on a regular basis and they always seem to be well looked after and happy. The home is small and means everyone gets a lot of attention. I would recommend here to anyone who is looking for a care home.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.125)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.125) out of 10 for Sherwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Sherwood is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 21 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sherwood is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 6 registered maximum number of service users is 1.2, which has been reached with 2 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
