The Review Score of 9.2 (maximum of 10) for Lynton Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Lynton Hall Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.568 for Lynton Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 146 Ratings = 4.568
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 4.614 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lynton Hall Care Home is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 11.4 positive Reviews (57 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 11.4 Target = 0.614
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My father was a resident for nearly two and a half years with pick's dementia. The care from all the staff during this time was excellent. The staff showed genuine interest, care and warmth. Getting to know and understand his character. My father's health declined from June 2017 and the staff ensured we were fully informed of all that was happening. All staff were immensely supportive during his demise and their care during his death was very much appreciated.

The receptionist who was the first person we spoke to and met was a delight showing us around with warmth and enthusiasm. My parents were treated with concern and good humour where appropriate. My mother turned 80 while there and received a cake which was a very sweet idea. The home was always clean which gave us confidence.
The resident's cats were sweet and at times entertaining. The manager was reassuring and eased my mind at a potentially stressful time by being flexible nursing staff were thorough and caring.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Vivien S (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 3 August 2017. Relates to August 2017.
Set in a quiet residential street, Lynton Hall is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable staff, who go the extra mile to ensure residents and family feel relaxed and welcome. The nursing team are professional and very approachable.
They were very quick to visit mum in the hospital so her needs could be assessed before her arrival. From the onset, she was very well monitored and I was amazed at how quickly she settled in and started making progress.
Mum’s clothes were all labelled by the staff on arrival and anything new I bring is done promptly.
The activities team ensure there is never a dull day with a new schedule of events every week. The music and television programmes in the lounge are always selected with the residents in mind.
On mum’s birthday, they baked her a cake, decorated her room and made it a really memorable day, which it was, considering how weak she was when she first arrived over a year ago. Heartfelt thanks to you all.

Thank you for your review. It is so nice to hear that your mum has settled and is making progress. I'm sure she enjoyed her birthday and this will be remembered by you all for the good day that it was.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by C N (Son of Resident) on Tuesday 13 June 2017. Relates to June 2017.
Mum has been in Lynton Hall for eight months now and seems to have settled in very comfortably. The staff are friendly and helpful and Mum has warmed to them as they have to her.
She seems to have a good bond with everybody here.
Mum suffers from Multi-System Atrophy but since being at Lynton Hall, she has made a remarkable improvement and that's a testament to the quality of care she has received.
So far all is good. As a suggestion my mother likes salads in the summer, maybe tuna salad with cold potatoes with mayonnaise. She also likes Mediterranean salads with balsamic dressing.

My mother moved to Lynton Hall frail and frightened and confused. She ended her life there peacefully having enjoyed her time in the home - secure and well cared for. The staff were equally caring to the family during her stay and in the difficult process of saying goodbye and clearing her room.

My mother was looked after here for the last three years of her life.
The kindness and consideration of all the staff has been amazing.
All aspects of care are excellent, from the nurses and carers as well as housekeeping and catering.
This is a 'home' not a fancy modern hotel, so it may not be for you.
However, without doubt, Lynton Hall is 5 stars in its depth of knowledge, treatment, care and kindness shown to residents and their relatives.

I have visited Lynton Hall virtually every day for the past two years to help one of the residents with her lunch. I have seen all aspects of the home and spoken to its managers, nurses, carers, kitchen staff and cleaners. My impression is of a well administered institution with genuine care shown for all residents. Individuals, many with dementia, are given close personal attention, particularly when eating or needing help with the lavatory. The ladies who give this care are endlessly patient, especially so when dealing with residents who, through no faults of their own, are awkward or bad tempered. I have nothing but admiration for the care given. The beloved lady I visit, who needs help with everything, is beautifully looked after and, within her limitations, tells me she is happy. I cannot ask for more.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jackie L (Friend of Resident) on Monday 24 October 2016. Relates to October 2016.
My friend came to the care home from the hospital in Feb 2016. She was initially a 'demanding' patient. She had complex health issues resulting in her being confined to bed. Over the months her condition slowly deteriorated. I give every credit to her carers, chef and nurses who made sure she was always comfortable and pain-free. The food was specially cooked for her. Her room was spacious and kept clean.

All the staff were so lovely and caring. They were always smiling and helpful. In fact, you couldn't fault any staff or anything.
The food was a bit repetitive but pleasant. And I will be back.

Our friend arrived at Lynton Hall Care Home late in April this year (2016) having spent almost 3 months in the hospital. He was disorientated and unhappy not to be able to go back home. The manager at Lynton Hall Care Home and his team made it possible for us to feel at peace leaving our friend there to live the last of his days. Recently our friend turned 100. The team at Lynton Hall Care Home were AMAZING!! They arranged a beautiful celebration for the 100th birthday, made a cake, prepared snacks, got all other residents dressed up for the occasions, got the Mayor to attend, got an entertainment singing group and harpist to play. AMAZING. I could just carry on. The event was in the local newspaper.

My father came to Lynton Hall on 31/12/15 having spent a long time in hospital. Within a few days my stress and anxiety were greatly decreased as I could see the care that was being given to him by all the staff. My father was treated with the utmost kindness and respect by all he staff. The facilities in the home were maintained to a very high standard and dad's special diet was prepared without fuss. I felt staff also cared for my mum and were supportive to her as well.
