The Review Score of 9 (maximum of 10) for Langley Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Langley Park Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
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 4.785 for Langley Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.785
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. 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.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.185 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Langley Park Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 9.2 positive Reviews (46 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 9.2 Target = 0.435
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Langley Park Care Home has a Review Score of 9 (8.970) from 11 Reviews

My mother has vascular dementia. I have found it difficult to understand the illness. The staff will always help to intervene with help and advice.
Any medical problems, the staff always get the doctor or nurse out.
The home is well kept. Visiting can be done most of the day or night.

Excellent care home with excellent staff. My experience with this home has only ever been a good one. I know my mother is getting the care she needs and deserves but not only that they care for the relatives as well, I am always made to feel so welcome, it's home from home. Thank you, Langley Park Care Home.

I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff, the move was so quick and they kept me informed of everything, anything I asked was answered and seen too. Everybody made my mother feel very welcome and they all went out of their way to make her feel comfortable and at home.
She was always treated with respect.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Gillian A (Friend of Resident) on Wednesday 8 March 2017. Relates to November 2016.
I started to visit my friend when she became a resident of Langley Park in November 2013. The care she was given was excellent. I was also looked after on my views and kept up to date on everything. I found the staff, from management to kitchen, were pleasant and helpful at all times. My friend passed away on November 2016, but I still visit the home as I made some good friends there. The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming. In my opinion, the staff at Langley Park are a real credit to Four Seasons and I have already recommended the home to people I know.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Phillip C (Son of Resident) on Friday 3 February 2017. Relates to January 2017.
I was amazed at how quickly my mother settled in at the home. The difference in her behaviour was a joy. Many of her friends and family friends have enquired after her and we - 2 brother and a sister - have been able to say how happy we have been with the care she is getting. We are all very impressed with the staff. They are superb. Thank them, please.

My husband has been in this care home for over two years now and has had the best of treatment. The staff are all friendly and they treat their patients with dignity as well as care. This home will be my first choice to go into should the need arise.
