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 4.6 for Dormy House Care Home with Nursing is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.6
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. 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.
The 4.341 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dormy House Care Home with Nursing is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Julian B (Husband of Resident) on Friday 9 June 2017. Relates to April 2017.
My wife was in Surrey Wing.
She had a room initially on the first floor but was moved downstairs once I asked.
The care she received over her three and a half years was excellent.
She was always treated with dignity and patience.
This is not just my opinion but also the view of my five children who visited her regularly.
The food was good. Two members of staff who cared for my wife (and others) most of the time there were excellent.
No complaints by us.

I cannot recommend Dormy House Care Home with Nursing more highly. The whole team of staff work together so well to provide the best possible care for their residents.The carers are so kind and friendly and show genuine care. It's not just a job to them and this is so clearly evident. I think the consistent nursing team is important to provide medical support. Sadly my mother needed end of life care and this was exceptional at Dormy House Care Home with Nursing. There was beautifully presented food and wonderful activities for residents.

I have been here for about 1 year and the treatment I have been given has been excellent. I could not have had a better bedroom, I hope to stay here until I die. All the staff are caring and helpful. The lady who runs the entrance is excellent and the home manager is absolutely excellent and works so hard for us as does the deputy manager.

My husband has been there for 6 months and is more settled now. Staff are very caring and look after him well. It has been cold in the home in the last week and most of the residents have had to have extra clothes and cover with blankets.

We liked the feel of Dormy House from the start, it has a very homely atmosphere. We visit most days and there is always plenty of staff supporting and assisting residents. The nursing care is second to none we feel very reassured that Dad is being looked after extremely well indeed...
