Review from Susan M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was accepted by The Limes following a stay in hospital following a fall. Initially, it was for some respite care but she is so happy there, she wishes to stay as feels now she would not be able to cope at home on her own.
The care my mum receives is excellent everyone is really helpful and friendly.
Their activities coordinators ensure that they are kept stimulated with a variety of activities which all seem to enjoy.
The food is of a high standard and certainly plentiful, mum really enjoys her food and is more than happy with the choices.
The staff are all very caring and nothing seems too much trouble for them.
I never wanted mum to go into a care home mainly because I had always promised my dad I would look after her after he died. But The Limes have been great and now I feel mum is in a safe place and her choice to stay there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.705) out of 10 for The Limes 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.726 for The Limes is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.726
  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 4.979 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Limes is based on 19 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.4 = 0.979
  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.
