Review from Elaine D (Partner of Resident) published on 14 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It's never easy making the decision to place the person you love into a home. I hung on and tried to do it all myself until it became clear that I could no longer provide the 24-hour care he needed to keep him safe and comfortable. Right from the first home visit to his stay at Roselyn he was was so
well cared for. Always clean and shaved and kept warm, safe, hydrated and fed properly. Nice clean ensuite room with plenty of space, Large wardrobe with hanging and folding space. Cabinets and plenty of drawers. Space to place a TV and aerial socket provided too. Big windows with nice outlook. Electric operated bed made positioning easy. Sensor pads are used to alert staff of possible dangers. Dementia is a terrible condition but the staff at Roselyn were so kind and compassionate, no matter what our needs we were both treated with dignity, respect and kindness. Thank you all so much for everything, nothing was too much trouble and I will never forget how much you helped us at a very difficult time.

Review from K J (Son of Resident) published on 9 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Home was well run. My mother's room was very nice and had a good view. I always found the staff very friendly and helpful and my mother's dietary needs were catered for. It was always comfortably warm and my mother was always clean and dressed well. Rosalyn House made what was a difficult period a whole
lot easier. I was listened to by the nursing staff which is important.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Rosalyn House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.783 for Rosalyn House is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 161 Ratings = 4.783
  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 Rosalyn House is based on 14 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
