We were very pleased with the great care that Dad received. The staff at Townend Close are friendly, very caring and attentive and do some great activities with the residents. The home is spacious and doesn't feel overcrowded like a lot of homes and it is kept really nice and clean.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so glad that our father was able to spend the last part of his journey in such a special place.
It gave us great peace of mind to know that Dad was so well cared for and treated with such love and respect.
We were overwhelmed with the support and kindness he was shown in his final days and
also that we, as a family, had this care and support extended to us in his last days.
We cannot thank the staff enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Townend Close has a warm and welcoming feel to it. It's homely, clean and recently gone through some refurbishment work which looks great. It is well staffed and they all do a great job. My mum has only been there a couple of months but she has settled in really well and is very happy there. My mum
has blossomed since she has been there as the care she is receiving is excellent. She is encouraged to join in with activities which she does and is very happy there.

My mother has lived here for 2 years and is very settled. She gets on very well with all the staff and it is lovely to see her happy and relaxed with them all, despite her advancing dementia. Staff are aware of her needs which is a great comfort to the family.

I am always impressed when entering Townend Close by the warmth of the accommodation and the standard of cleanliness everywhere. The atmosphere is welcoming and attractive rooms seem to be adequately furnished. Staff are usually available to answer questions regarding my mother's care. They all seem
to have lots of patience.

Review from Muriel T (Resident) published on 20 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent room. Very spacious. The furnishings and curtains etc, are good quality.
The en-suite must be admired, toilet rolls made available.
The food is good and meal times are always on time.
If anything is needed, just ask. The staff are always helpful and kind. It is always nice and warm in
our lounge which is good for older and infirm people.
The garden and helpers are well looked after and so the daffodils are coming out and it is lovely to see now.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Townend Close is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.798 for Townend Close is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.798
  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 Townend Close is based on 14 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
