Review from F W (Sister of Resident) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I would heartily recommend Across the Bay Care Home. Needing temporary accommodation following a cancer diagnosis, my brother spent two months there in May and June 2025. Although my brother's health situation was not ideal, he was made extremely welcome and the manager and deputy manager went above
and beyond to help him through a tough diagnosis. Their caring attitude was outstanding and despite knowing that he was a temporary resident, they treated him with the utmost care. They made his move to a care home at the other end of the country smooth and straightforward and were highly conscientious in pursuing the follow on of social and medical paperwork. The home itself is on the seafront with magnificent views and is pleasant, clean and calm. But the most outstanding feature of Across the Bay is the professionalism and personal help which the manager and the deputy manager provide.

The staff are very friendly, patient and caring not only to the residents but to their visiting family too. From my experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend as a place for the elderly, I am very happy with the level of care my relative is receiving.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.194)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.194) out of 10 for Across The Bay is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 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 4.652 for Across The Bay is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.652
  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 3.542 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Across The Bay 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.417
  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.
