Review from Julie H (Mother of Resident) published on 24 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son uses Kirklees for respite (special needs and 1:1 care needed). All seems well. Happy to stay. Clean, kept safe, variable diet. Staff very nice, caring and friendly. Room clean and well equipt. So very happy and reassured to leave him and he enjoys his stay.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It has given me great peace of mind knowing that my friend has been so well cared for in this place by a highly professional, caring team who have shown sensitivity in their genuine care for my friend. Staff has shown positive regard and kindness and enabled my friend to make great progress which is
clear for all to see.
My friend will miss all the carers as we prepare to move on. Thanks to special staff.

I moved to Kirklees in December.
I love living here because I love all the staff, love my room, the food is great and I am allowed to cook my own if I want to.
I like helping the staff, we always have good fun and laugh.
I like joining in with the activities, especially motivation.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.497)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.497) out of 10 for Kirklees 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.897 for Kirklees is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 68 Ratings = 4.897
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kirklees is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6, which has been reached with 6 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.
