Review from Marjorie P (Wife of Resident) published on 10 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent nursing home. Excellent nursing care and warm, friendly staff. Everyone is made to feel welcome and at any time of the day. The manager runs a very efficient team and nothing is too much trouble. The building is most attractive with all rooms nicely decorated. Everywhere is spotlessly
clean and there is no smell. It would seem that all visitors feel the same, living locally I would soon hear bad news. I would recommend this home.

Review from David M (Son of Resident) published on 20 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 88-year-old Mother was placed into the care of Frithwood Nursing home for approximately six months. The care and respect Mum received was excellent. The staff were well managed and very attentive to Mum's particular needs.
My sister and I would visit on an almost daily basis and were always made
to feel welcome. It was a difficult time but Mum always spoke very highly of the staff and the care she received.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have always found the home to be friendly, very clean and well managed. The staff are very good and carry out their duties with a very cheerful disposition under sometimes very challenging circumstances. It gives me as a relative who has cared for my mum tremendous peace of mind to know she is fortunate
enough to be looked after by The Frithwood Nursing Home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.727)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.727) out of 10 for The Frithwood Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.727 for The Frithwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (312 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 406 Ratings = 4.727
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Frithwood Nursing Home is based on 35 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 35 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.
