Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook. We are delighted that your mother has settled so well into life at Kenbrook and it’s hard to believe that she has been with us a year now. Now that the travel restrictions are less, it will be much easier for you the next time you come to the UK to see your mother and we look forward to welcoming you back to Kenbrook.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review of Kenbrook. Your aunt is a lovely lady and indeed a big part of our Kenbrook community. Your aunt settled so well with us from day one and is so easy to please as long as she has a cup of tea! Your family bring much warmth to the home on their visits and have been very generous in gifting chocolates and hand cream throughout this difficult period. We are delighted that your father is doing well and look forward to seeing you visit Kenbrook soon. Thank you again for your excellent feedback, we shall share your comments with the team.

Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook. Your Mother really did enjoy her special day and it was lovely that she was able to have her little garden party for her birthday! We encourage family gatherings for birthdays and it has been such a shame that the pandemic has made this very difficult for everyone. It was lovely to see your Mother enjoying her birthday with her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren around her. We are so pleased that a lovely afternoon was had by all. We shall pass your kind words on to all the team and thank you once again for leaving a lovely review of our service.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Kenbrook. Your mother was such a lovely lady and brought many joyful moments to the home. She loved to make other residents happy and sing songs to them, she loved to assist the staff in caring for others, such a kind and thoughtful lady. She is sadly missed from the home and it was a pleasure to have been able to care for your mother and to have been able to support your family in the time your mother was at Kenbrook. I shall pass your kind comments on to the team at Kenbrook and thank you once again for taking the time to post your review.

Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook and our service and for your nice comments. Your father has been teaching the staff Portuguese and credits them with top marks as his pupils! His lessons have become equally as important as his care and help us all communicate with him. Thank you again for your review.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Kenbrook is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.869 for Kenbrook is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 229 Ratings = 4.869
b) 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 Kenbrook is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
