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 5 for Merwood is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Merwood is based on 0 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
0 = 0
Target of 3.2 positive Reviews (16 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 0 Reviews ÷ 3.2 Target = 0
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Emma P (Friend of Resident) on Sunday 2 August 2015. Relates to July 2015.
If anyone is looking for a good quality care home, I must say look at the Merwood and you need look no further staff are friendly helpful and polite, nothing is to much trouble for them. the home feels warm and cosy, the atmosphere is very comfortable.
Residents are kept busy with many varied activities, they are not left sitting around a TV asleep all day, staff are on hand for games and exercises the grounds are very relaxing with a summer house and pond in the secure back garden make for a relaxing afternoon in the sun.
From my point of view the home is highly recommended.
