a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.667 for Bradbury House is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.667
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
The 4.289 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bradbury House is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5
Target of 3.8 positive Reviews (19 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 3.8 Target = 0.789

This review is on behalf of my mother, who passed away this year. Mum was very happy in Bradbury, made lots of friends and enjoyed her time there. We were always made very welcome when we visited - it has a very homely feel, which is why we chose it. The staff were always friendly and helpful.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Gill H (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 1 August 2017. Relates to May 2017.
My father was a resident at Bradbury House for 18 months. In this time he received excellent care and support for his varied needs. The staff were friendly, caring, and respectful of his dignity and his personality. Activities were available for him to choose to join in or not, and the setting and atmosphere of the home were just what he needed. At the end of his life, he received wonderful care, and the family were supported sensitively by the staff at all levels.
