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 4.936 for Dyfan Court is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.936
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dyfan Court is based on 0 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
0 = 0
Target of 0.8 positive Reviews (4 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 0 Reviews ÷ 0.8 Target = 0
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Dyfan Court is a well-run home which offers very good care and security for my brother. He has many special needs and requires 24-hour supervision and care. His needs are met with understanding and compassion.
He feels happy and secure within this setting particularly as his eyesight has deteriorated along with other health issues. It is very re-assuring for me.

Very happy with review. Only a small group of people at review, but everyone that needed to be there was. Was comfortable at review and asked to express how we felt about all aspects of care and needs of our daughter.

I am pleased with the home. It is always clean, warm and friendly. The 'bedsit' my daughter has is really very nice . It offers some independence, yet there is always staff at hand to help her.
