Review from Emma R (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has become a permanent resident since November 2019. The staff at St George's are incredibly helpful and really take great care of him. The home is fantastic and the facilities and bedroom are great. There are a variety of activities on offer to keep him busy. The care received by my father
really is second to none. They treat him with the dignity he deserves.

Cannot fault the care given to my mother-in-law during her stay at St George's, she is very happy and content. She decided she did not want to leave during her first week.

Review from Susan A (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has spent almost four weeks at St George's having respite care. From the first contact with St George's, I could tell that this was a very welcoming and professional organisation. My mother was concerned about having respite care but from the first moment we arrived she was made to feel very
welcome and there was a warm, friendly, caring atmosphere throughout her stay. Mum soon settled and every member of staff was helpful giving her excellent attention, along with tasty food from beginning to end. She had a very comfortable room with a television and wash hand basin next to the bathroom. I would have no hesitation in recommending St George's for the care my mother received and also the support which was given to the family by the St George's team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) out of 10 for St George's Residential Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.882 for St George's Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.882
  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 St George's Residential Home is based on 15 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
