b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 1.9 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no positive reviews in the last 12 months)
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 4.896 for Littleinch Erskine Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. 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.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 1.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Littleinch Erskine Care Centre is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5 then divided by 2 = 1.750
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.375 , then divided by 2 = 0.188

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Maureen T (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 13 March 2017. Relates to December 2016.
Our mum was not very good for about 4 months before she died at the end of December 2016. Even as it was holiday, the staff could not do enough for us.
Mum was very happy at Erskine. She was well fed and clean with lots of singing, nails done, bingo and quizzes.
The staff was so friendly with everything no problem.
As a family, we cannot praise and say a very big thank you.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Brenda M (Wife of Resident) on Friday 10 March 2017.
My husband has advanced Alzheimer's and has been well cared for in this home for the past 4 1/2 years. He is now beyond the daily activities of news reading, crosswords, quizzes, word games, bingo etc.. Until recently he enjoyed the frequent sing songs and brought in entertainers. The staff are hard-working and kindly and the medical staff attend immediately to any concerns. My husband has to be turned over every so often and changed. He is comfortable and clean. Laundry and cleanliness are meticulous. The standard of care provided is very high. The chef will prepare your favourite if asked.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by K D (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 16 March 2016. Relates to February 2016.
Thanks to the warm welcome she received, my mum settled into Littleinch within weeks. This was helped by her having her own possessions in her bright, airy, large room.
She was treated as an individual - staff knew her well - encouraging her independence and determination to remain mobile in safety.
Her likes and dislikes were respected. Importance of her personal appearance recognised. Staff ensured her outfits co-ordinated and she always wore her pearls!
Physically - care was excellent - good food ensures she ate well. Excellent activities and entertainment provided dignified , affectionate, excellent end of life care.
Fabulous staff.
