Review from Marion T (Friend of Resident) published on 9 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From what we have experienced on our regular visits the level of care is excellent. The staff are very welcoming and very hard working. They treat all patients with dignity and they try their level best to involve all residents in the arranged activities. An excellent care home.

Review from E E (Resident) published on 2 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very happy here, it's a nice comfortable place. We get peace when we want it but plenty going on if we ant to do things. There's often music playing, from our era and time is taken to find out what we like and what we don't like. The food is always tasty and warm but there could be more choice.
I do enjoy it when we have a take-away, my favourite is Chinese! The staff are always helpful and accommodating. My son and family can visit whenever they want to and always treated with a warm welcome.

It's like being on holiday here. Everything's done for you if you ask for something you get it. I get to go our for meals which I really enjoy. The food is always excellent and there's plenty of it. I find it hard to find fault with anything here. The staff are brilliant and very caring. I can't grumble
at anything.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.621) out of 10 for Garnant House 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.921 for Garnant House is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 101 Ratings = 4.921
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Garnant 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:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
