Review from Jackie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are always on hand to help with any queries I have. My dad gets treated with respect and the care required for his needs. If there are any concerns regarding my dad, I'm contacted by telephone. Our family were very apprehensive about taking dad from his own home but he has settled in extremely
well

Review from Linda M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been well cared for and fed. Having the care and attention has improved my relatives quality and quantity of life. If all palliative care homes had the same structure of management then other ill elderly people would be happy and not afraid of going into care.


Anything I have asked

as regards my relative has been answered or dealt with quickly and efficiently. The staff needs more "hands" at meal times and toilet times as these are the busiest and everything "needs" at the same time.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Dad's personal care with staff has been good he has also got great relationships with some of the staff they have learnt his needs quickly. Although had problems in the past with some issues we feel after having meeting with everyone these seem to have been resolved. We have got a great relationship
with most of the staff and they are always willing to help with any issues that we have. Dad joins in any activities when he is well enough to do so and as a family we enjoy these times with dad.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.187)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.187) out of 10 for Rutherglen Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 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 4.831 for Rutherglen Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.831
  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 4.356 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rutherglen Care Home is based on 16 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 225 registered maximum number of service users is 45. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 45 = 0.356
  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.
