Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review of Kenbrook. It was an absolute honour to support your family in the months that your Gran was at Kenbrook and to support you all through the final phase of your lovely Grandmother’s life.
Your family have been very much a part of Kenbrook for a long time as your Grandfather had a Kenbrook connection for many years. It was also a pleasure getting to know you all as a family and we offer our heartfelt condolences to you all at this difficult time.

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review of Kenbrook. I feel the standards of nursing care at Kenbrook will no longer be scrutinised or checked so much now that your aunt is not around to keep us on our toes! We still miss her comments and think of her often.
It is a pity that there are not more nurses with the values and beliefs of your dear aunt. Her profession was her life and I am sure that she influenced and changed care for the better over her years.
Please remember to come and see us, when you feel up to it; we would love to welcome you as a volunteer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review of Kenbrook. Your mother’s admission to Kenbrook was not our first encounter with your family as we recall over the years your father’s involvement with Kenbrook and all his help and assistance in fundraising for us.
It is our privilege to now be able to support your family in caring for your mother, especially now that your father is sadly no longer around to care for her. I think the transition of your mother settling so well in Kenbrook is down to your family being so supportive and involved in her care.
You truly are an amazing family and we thank you for all your support.

Thank you for leaving us this lovely review of our home. It is a shame that your late husband never got to enjoy life at Kenbrook and we are saddened that he passed away so quickly. At least his wish was fulfilled that he did not pass away in hospital. It is a pity that the hospital authorities did not act faster to ensure that someone’s final wishes were honoured. I’m glad that as a family, it gave you the time to say your goodbyes allowing time and space for the family to be together with him. Thank you so much for the plants you provided in honour of your husband.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review of Kenbrook. We also wish that your father could have had more time with us and it was such a shame that he only spent his final hours here. It was a very traumatic time for all of your family and we are delighted that we were able, in some respect, to ease this burden for you.
I shall pass on your lovely comments to the team and thank you once again for taking the time to leave a 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.
