Thank you or taking the time to leave a review of Kenbrook. The feeling is mutual as we all love your Aunt and it is a privilege to be able to support her. We are glad that your Aunt has settled into home life so well at Kenbrook, as we understand it is difficult to give up your home to move into a care home. We are glad she chose Kenbrook. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thank you so much for your kind words about our home and the Kenbrook team.
It was an absolute honour to support your family in the 10 months that your Father was at Kenbrook. It was also a pleasure getting to know your family and we thank you for all that you brought with you as a family which certainly enhanced our warm family environment. We sincerely hope you keep in touch and please encourage Mum to come and see us from time to time. We shall pass your comments on to the team.

The rooms all have a TV point and en-suite toilet and showering facilities. Laundry is done on a daily basis and returned to residents promptly. The gardens are also a nice place to go and sit with your family member and enjoy the sunshine.
The home is also very clean and was being redecorated in July when I was there.

Reply from Marian O'Hara, Home Manager at Kenbrook
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review of Kenbrook, especially bearing in mind that your grief and loss of your Mother is still so new.
As you say, Mum was not one to give compliments but it was clearly visible that Mum was happy here at Kenbrook and you saw this when her fingers would tap to the music during the entertainment at events. The look of pleasure she displayed when having her nails manicured and painted and the half smile when she could have her Chinese take away and her approval and appreciation when she was served with her little tipple of wine!
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 your comments regarding the care provided to your Aunt.
Your Aunt was such a large character in the Home and her absence is sorely missed by us all. Her loving nature and strong faith was appreciated by so many throughout her life and we were privileged to have been able to assist your Aunt in her final years. It was an honour to have been able to provide her with the dignity and care that she deserved in the final phase of her journey.
Thank you for taking the time to review our service and I shall pass on the praise and comments to the Kenbrook team.

Thank you for your review on Kenbrook and our dedicated team.
We are indeed lucky to have long-standing staff that get to know our residents and all their needs, likes & dislikes.
Dad really enjoyed his 90th birthday and loved his cake and it was lovely that you were able to have the wonderful celebration on his special day.
It is a privilege looking after Dad and getting to know your family. Thank you once again for your review, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience of Kenbrook.

Thank you Alison for your kind words. It is such a pity that Tony’s stay with us was so short. We enjoyed his humour. It is always a privilege to care for somebody at the end stage of their life. We hope we made this difficult period as comfortable for Tony as possible.
I will pass your kind words on to the team.

His health has improved even in this short space of time. He is clean shaven and well dressed whenever we visit. He always looks so well cared for.
He enjoys the food, which
The staff are friendly, welcoming and very helpful. We can already see how fond my Dad is of them.
There is lots of space for my Dad to walk around in, both inside and out, which is very important. There are also many lovely areas for our family to come in and sit with him.
Kenbrook is an excellent home, and we are very happy we were able to find such a great place where our Dad could feel at home.

Thank you, Dianna, for this lovely review, your Dad coming to Kenbrook was one of the best things that happened to us too. Your Dad had such a large personality, was so loving and fun he made an impact on each of us daily, we miss everything about him as I am sure all of you do, his laugh and smile and the fond memories of him will remain with all of us for a long time to come. I still hear staff say do you remember when your Dad said ---- Thank you, Dianna, again.

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.
