Review from P R (Brother of Resident) published on 9 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our brother has been at Valdigarth care home for ten years. Brother is happy and very content. On visits, all staff are very welcoming and friendly, and you get a real family feeling. In summer months, the residents go on day trips or holidays, theatre or for food, etc.

Review from E E (Friend of Resident) published on 11 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We were the resident's carers until she went into a care home, but have kept in contact as they have no other family. The resident visits us once a month and she is clean, happy and well-presented, always talkative, telling me what activities she has been doing (swimming, tea, dance, gym, bingo, disco,
the list is endless). We have good communication with the staff and we know if we have any concerns we can always approach them.

Review from Clifford F (Father of Resident) published on 4 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I feel that my son is settled at Valdigarth and has a good relationship with staff and residents. The relationship with the staff which I have is relaxed whilst still being professional, which enabled me to be able to easily discuss matters of my son's care.
Above all I feel that my son enjoys living
at Valdigarth and is happy there whilst the staff care for his welfare which is a great relief to myself.

Review from K B (Sister of Resident) published on 1 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have always found every member of staff to be kind, compassionate and fully committed to ensuring all residents lead a happy and fulfilling life. I am kept up to date with any health and well-being issues and always made to feel very welcome when I visit. Nothing we need as a family is ever dismissed
and I feel confident my sibling is happy in their home and surrounded by a second caring family.

Ever since my sister arrived at Valdigarth, she has settled easier than anywhere else she has been. The home is very clean and staff are friendly and welcoming. The staff have time for residents and try to resolve any concerns promptly.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.304)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.304) out of 10 for Valdigarth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.704 for Valdigarth is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.704
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Valdigarth is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 10 registered maximum number of service users is 2, which has been reached with 6 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.
