My family and I are extremely happy with the care given to my uncle. The staff are professional in their duties but also show a great deal of empathy, friendship and understanding towards my uncle. The staff's manner and attitude are a credit to them and to Palmersdene.

I visit my sister on a weekly basis. I find that all of the staff at each visit which lasts about an hour caring and very hard working. Every resident is treated with the same dignity and care possible.
Every duty that the staff do is the same for all the residents. I chode Palmersdene from a number
of residential homes I am very pleased that I chose the right place.

When you come to the care home the management and staff are very friendly, helpful and make you welcome. The standards of their care are excellent for my mum. As a family we are over the moon that we picked Palmersdene care home in Jarrow for the care my mum is having and we would recommend it to everyone.

My mother is well taken care of carefully and with dignity. My only reservation is a lack of activities rather than just sitting in a chair all day.
Otherwise, very satisfied with care and carers.
Reply from Maureen Kane, Home Manager at Palmersdene

Thank you for your feedback. Historically most of our activities have taken place in the afternoon, to allow more residents to be involved after their morning routine. However, we have also increased staff in the last week so more activities can take place during a morning as well as an afternoon. I will be happy to discuss our activities calendar with you during your next visit.

Standard is very good and staff very helpful. Good at getting medical help when needed. Care home is nice and warm and comfortable, with nicely set tables for dinner. Could do with extra carers.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Palmersdene 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.857 for Palmersdene is calculated as follows: ( (319 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.857
  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 Palmersdene is based on 31 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 31 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.
