Review from Matthew B (Son of Resident) published on 12 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum spent the last weeks of her life at Village Green Care Home. She was comfortable and cared for. The staff are warm, conscientious and considerate. The management are personal and authentic, taking time and care to communicate everything clearly. They ensure that each resident has everything they
need and that the families take part in all decisions.
After Mum passed away, they continued in their caring dialogue with the family. The manager came to the funeral. He is a good man.

Review from K C (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 20 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found my time here very pleasant, and the staff very helpful, caring and understanding. I found the nurses particularly helpful and explained all my medications in a very understanding way. The carers went over the top of their care to make sure my stay here was a pleasant one. I also found the managerial
staff very precise and always very respectful in any questions that I had. Overall, my stay was a home-from-home experience and would recommend staying here to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was admitted for a 2 week respite break but loves it so much that he wants to stay here permanently. The care he receives from the management team and every single carer and member of staff has been first class, nothing is too much trouble for them. Dad says he is looked after so well and as
a family we have peace of mind knowing he has 24-hour care in place. Thank you Village Green for making a 92-year-old with nursing needs feel happy and secure.

I am very happy with the care and attention my auntie receives from all staff. All levels of staff have time for my auntie, me and her visitors. They are very good at providing activities for the residents, my auntie loves having her hair done and her nails painted. Overall a very nice care home.

Review from Lucy R (Wife of Resident) published on 3 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are all very busy caring for residents. They always find time to talk and make them feel wanted. Their communication, politeness and patience go without saying. All the carers are hardworking and under pressure to deliver care. If I was their manager, I would be praising and give them
an award/bonus every month, without having visitors sponsoring carers of the month. I am very happy with the care my husband is receiving from the carers. A big thank you to the carers.

Review from Tracey K (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been in the Village Green for a number of years now. Recently, it was taken over by new management who are doing a wonderful job. It is far easier entering the home now building works have been completed on the new reception area, the decor is tastefully in keeping for the residents and the
staff are always helpful and keep us up-to-date. My dad is looked after well, he is always clean and looks comfortable. His room is clean and tidy with his music playing, which he loves.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Village Green Care Home for several years. She has always been content on visiting. Since a new firm took over last year, I've seen many improvements, including the decor. The staff, although good before, are more motivated to providing care. Nothing is too much bother for them. Although
still under covid restrictions, I feel Mum's care and management has stepped up many notches. I would recommend Village Green Care Home to my friends.

My mother has been at the care home for only nine months. There has been a great improvement in the last few months. I am very impressed with the care she is receiving.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Village Green Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.969 for Village Green Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (347 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.969
  2. 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 Village Green Care Home is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
