Review from Betty S (Resident) published on 14 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was living at home and then I came in here to see if I liked it. I decided that I liked it so much that I thought it would be the best place to stay. I moved in and found to my delight that the staff were excellent with me. I liked my room and thought that the facilities were excellent. I enjoyed
the food and the activities provided for me to be involved in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Before I came in here, I was living at home with my sister but I was too heavy for my sister to lift - and so I decided to find a care home. I came into Elm Bank about four months. I have found it very enjoyable.
The staff are very helpful and caring. The food is good, and my room is very comfortable.
I really enjoy being here.

Before I came here I was living in another home. I came here to come and look around with my family and decided that I really liked it. I moved in, and was given a lovely room. I have settled in and have now make some friends.
The staff are very nice to me, and make me feel comfortable. I would recommend
this home to other people.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.471)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.471) out of 10 for Elm Bank Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.471 for Elm Bank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.471
  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 Elm Bank Care Home is based on 11 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
