Review from R G (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every point of contact from the ways staff are positive, respectful and caring, the way they answer and converse on the phone to the way they speak to my mum with genuine patience, respect and kindness and the professional organisation of Mum's medicines and having her ready to leave when she is coming
home with me for a 'day out' - the staff are amazing!
If I had anything to question, or suggest rather it would be even nicer for Mum if there was a nicer, more comfortable and pretty garden, with flowers, to sit out in.

Review from Brenda W (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I felt that the home had the experience, facilities and understanding staff to deal with our mum and her dementia. The staff were always friendly and seemed to care about each individual's needs. During the lockdown, every effort was made to allow us to see Mum within the current rules and they were
always accessible by phone as I live a 3-hour journey away from the home. The activities advertised were undertaken, which did not appear to be the case at some other homes. These were designed to make the residents feel happy and perhaps remember times past and everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time, including the staff and this rubbed off on the residents. Sadly, because of Mum's condition deteriorating, she had to move on to an advanced unit but the Chestnuts staff made the transition easy at a very stressful time. The end came soon after Mum left but myself and my three sisters would like to express our sincere thanks for the care and attention that Mum received in her final days.
Reply from Juliet Peall, Regional Manager at Chestnuts Care CentreMany thanks for your lovely review, and condolences for your loss. This has been a difficult time for all, but more so when a loved ones has been lost during this time. I know that Team Chestnuts will be proud to know that they assisted your mum, you and your sisters in such a sad time. Kindest regards..

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.579)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.579) out of 10 for Chestnuts Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.879 for Chestnuts Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.879
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnuts Care Centre is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 9 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.
