The Review Score of 9.3 (maximum of 10) for Capwell Grange 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 30 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Capwell Grange Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 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 4.529 for Capwell Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (119 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.529
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 4.788 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Capwell Grange Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 29.2 positive Reviews (146 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 23 Reviews ÷ 29.2 Target = 0.788
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Capwell Grange Care Home has a Review Score of 9.3 (9.317) from 30 Reviews

All the staff in Capwell Grange, Mitre House are fantastic, very friendly, caring, always notify you with concerns of the resident. I wouldn't want any members in Mitre to leave as they really handle my mother with such great care and always smile and are very happy. I am very happy with her care and would like this to continue. The manager of the wing is very good at their job.

The only thing I can say is this place is in every way perfect. Friendly, helpful staff.
My son is very happy here.
I know he is in good hands, what more can I ask for.
Just to say thank you to all.
Only one thing I would be pleased about is if they could repair the light over his wash basin, I have asked a few times.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for your lovely compliment regarding the care for your son at Capwell Grange. May I also apologise for the delay in the shower light being repaired. An electrician had to be called and this has now been repaired as discussed with you at our Resident and Relative meeting on Friday 9 March. Once again, thank you for bringing this to our attention and I will pass your compliments to the team at Capwell Grange.

My sister came to Capwell Grange Care Home in the last part of 2012. We requested certain personal issues (shower twice a week and care by female staff only).
The staff at the home are extremely considerate and compassionate and make it very easy for the residents and their families to feel comfortable. It is a good place. Our family is very satisfied with the general ambience. We would recommend it without any qualms.

Dad has been in the home since June '17. He has been treated very well and the staff are excellent. They are very good at dealing with his needs and has been a lot healthier and cleaner than he has been for a long while. The one concern I have is the cost of the care. The amount that dad is paid every month by self-funding residents is more than you would pay for a luxury hotel.

Thank you for the lovely compliment which I will share with the team. Regarding the concerns over the fees, this is a true reflection of care costs which include 24-hour nursing and care costs as well as laundry, meals and overhead costs. Please feel free to discuss with me at any time.

My father spent his last 6 weeks here. The home is exceptional, the staff go above and beyond the daily duties. We were welcomed any time of day or night and they kept us informed with everything. Would highly recommend this home I am so pleased my father had his last few weeks there. It gives me a bit of peace of mind.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Marian R (Wife of Resident) on Friday 20 November 2015. Relates to November 2015.
My review covers 12 years. Initially, I was attracted to the home because of the cleanliness in the building and the friendly atmosphere. During my frequent visits over the years, both of these attributes remain.
I am encouraged to treat the home as my husband's second family home and he is a member of that family. The staff work extremely hard to look after the residents who all suffer with different forms of dementia. Their work is far from easy and yet they manage to smile despite the difficulties that they face day in day out.
