Review from Cliff S (Husband of Resident) published on 15 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Like all jobs some are better than other at tasks they perform, there are four or five who are very good at being carers. A couple who are not very good, the rest try but don't stand out like the good ones. I visit my wife every day so I know all the staff, overall I am happy they way she is treated.
She is bed all the time now, her legs have lost there use and she has serious dementia. Nurses tend to her (sores etc) twice a week and regular visits from doctor.

Review from Joan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
No home is where you want your relatives to end up in, but this home had that open, clean welcoming feel full of friendly staff. After several visits, we always found this to be so and I could see that despite mum's failing health, she was being given the best care and treatment possible. It was obvious
the staff were doing everything possible to give mum a comfortable home to live in. Unfortunately, mum became ill despite the best efforts of the staff and they always kept me informed of the ongoing situation. Due to her health problems, she has had to be moved out of the current care home part and I was pleased that she has been able to move into another part of the home group, the nursing group.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Ferndale Mews Care Home 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.724 for Ferndale Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.724
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ferndale Mews Care Home is based on 18 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
