Chestnut House has a happy, safe atmosphere with excellent, friendly members of staff. With a few improvements, the overall standard would be beyond excellent. Often, when visiting my nan, I see her happy, smiling and laughing, which is all we wish for. It would be nice to see more activities however,
and for my nan to be encouraged to participate. As a family, we would also like to see her bedroom improved.

My late mother came to Chestnut House five months ago and our family felt that all the staff treated her with great understanding and dedication. During the last two weeks of her life -October 2016 - she, and us as a family, were treated with care and compassion. Thank you so much.

It is over 12 months since my last review, so what has changed? Some of the excellent carers have left but fortunately replaced by equally excellent carers who without exception go that extra mile in their care of the residents. On a personal note, my wife has improved beyond recognition from the care
she has received. I still visit daily and speak as you find you just cannot ask for more. Thank you.

My mother came to this home after three months in hospital following an accident. She was no longer mobile, could not feed herself and generally seemed to be fading away. Her improvement due to the care and support she has received form all the staff at the home , has been amazing and the dementia seems
to have stabilized. The staff are always caring, cheerful and friendly and always respond promptly to any requests. I am so thankful that a place was available for her at Chestnut House.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.777) out of 10 for Chestnut House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 3.877 for Chestnut House is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 3.877

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut House is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
