Review from Grant M (Son of Resident) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, who is a resident, suffers from vascular dementia and is very frail, was recently admitted to hospital with an infection. She could neither eat nor drink. The prognosis from the two hospitals she was admitted to was not good and she was bed-bound, with the likely outcome being that she may
have to be admitted into nursing care. However, Eothen Gosforth offered to take her back to provide her with a recognisable environment and carers she was familiar with. At the time of returning to the home her doctor's prognosis was that little could be done and end-of-life care was initiated. However, within a week, the wonderful carers had her dressed and sitting in her favourite armchair in the lounge ensuring that she take the fluids necessary for recovery. I cannot praise the carers and management of Eothen highly enough. They are like an extension of the family and have provided wonderful care, even though the challenges of the pandemic.

Review from S S (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mother was hospitalised following a fall and deemed unable to resume independent living. Eothen decorated a room for her and she moved in with her own furniture 3 and a half years ago.
The best move she ever made.
Now 101 years old, she is happy, relaxed and safely cared for. Eothen is her home in
every meaning of the word and the staff part of her extended family.

Review from Dorothy K (Cousin of Resident) published on 22 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience of Eothen Homes over the past 12 months has been very positive. My cousin has been a resident for over 12 months and he care and personal happiness has been exceptional.
She feels that she is treated with respect and her opinions on matters that affect her are always listened to.

Review from Joyce H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was very reluctant to leave her home and we appreciate the welcome. A friendly and caring approach which has helped to enable her to settle in. When she experiences anxieties, the carers are patient, kind and caring. The lovely environment, activities and food served in the pleasant dining
room all help to ensure that Eothen Homes is as close to home as possible. I feel I can approach the management team at any time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Eothen Homes 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.911 for Eothen Homes is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 416 Ratings = 4.911
  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 Eothen Homes is based on 35 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 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 35 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.
