The Review Score of 8.2 (maximum of 10) for Lansdowne Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Lansdowne Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.496 for Lansdowne Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 232 Ratings = 4.496
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.663 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lansdowne Care Home is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5
Target of 18.4 positive Reviews (92 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 18.4 Target = 0.163
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Lansdowne Care Home has a Review Score of 8.2 (8.159) from 20 Reviews
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jane D (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 15 December 2017. Relates to December 2017.
My father came to Landsdowne in August 2013, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I have been extremely pleased with the care and attention he has received.
All the staff are attentive and kind, at all times.
There has been a huge and noticeable improvement in general maintenance in the last couple of months. I could not wish for a better home for him.
He is very happy here.

I come infrequently to visit. There is definitely order and care. The staff when approached were friendly, professional and helpful. Today, while visiting, the residents were offered Christmas carols, very nice!

My mother was in this care home for only one month as she required nursing care. The care staff, nursing staff and management were amazing, they were very courteous, respectful and nothing was too much trouble. The premises was constantly being cleaned and was spotless because of this. I would recommend this care home to anyone looking for a placement for a loved one.

Recently, I have been visiting my mother regularly following a period of illness, and I am extremely pleased with the level of care provided for her eg. need for an increased level of assistance with her dietary and fluid intake.
In addition, staff are very caring towards her and I feel she is being treated as if she was a family member. Furthermore, staff have been very supportive towards myself. I have been made to feel welcome, which makes visits a lot easier and rewarding.

My mum went into Lansdowne Care Home at the beginning of September 2016. My mum had so much love and care here. All the staff loved looking after my mum. I also got attached to 3 of the staff members on Kenilworth. They cared for mum until the end.

My mother was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer back in November 2016. Since her arrival at Lansdowne Care Home she has received kind and compassionate care from both the medical and care staff. I am glad that my mother is here as she is receiving the best possible care available which is a great comfort to all our family.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jo M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) on Monday 7 November 2016. Relates to October 2016.
My husband's father was admitted there because he had dementia and cancer. In the few months he was in there, we found the home to be excellent and the carers very good and kind, they couldn't do enough for him. The meals were really good and nutritious, we got to chat to some of the clients in there, they said how lovely the home was.
It was my husband's father's funeral on the 27th of October 2016. The manager and one of the staff tried hard to make it to the funeral, but were late, but I understand as a carer myself it's hard, we are busy at times. My husband mentioned the care home in the service, and Lansdowne got us a room so we could have the reception at the home, they even gave us some sandwiches and hot drinks. We supplied the food and cold drinks. Not many homes would do this, if any.
We would just like to say how lovely the staff were in the home, and managers, and we sent them some flowers. I think when a home and staff have gone out of their way to help and care, they should be appreciated. Anyone can have qualifications and want money to do this kind of work, but what is needed is common sense and a good heart and we have to say, from what we saw and received, this home deserves praise.

My brother has been a resident in Lansdowne Care Home for over three and a half years. We have tried to visit every day and have never found anything but kindness and warmth from every member of staff - nursing, domestic, care and admin. My brother has suffered a great deal but he appreciates all the care he has received and has been able to relax knowing he is in capable and caring hands.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by C J (Son of Resident) on Thursday 23 June 2016. Relates to June 2016.
In my view this is a very good care home caring for residents from several London boroughs. Staff are very caring and welcome visitors in a friendly manner. Residents appear to be content with their surrounds and handling, and seem very satisfied with the meal menus. The home manager, administrator or carers and nurses are always available, and cleanliness is of a very high standard all round. A quarterly meeting is held with management, section heads and relatives.

Resident has not been here very long, but all the carers have been so kind and patient and have supported my mother as much as possible. They always tell me what she has been doing and will call me to talk to my mother when she asks.
