Review from Fred P (Husband of Resident) published on 16 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All rooms kept clean and tidy. A very pleasant look to the main (large) sitting room. On-site washing machines for clothes. A good programme of events to try and keep residents active. Food reasonable but well cooked. Some rooms are small. Could do with a separate meeting room. Care staff very interested
and caring.

Review from Brian S (Son of Resident) published on 28 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been resident here for almost 12 months. She has settled in very well and is extremely well cared for, she has made new friends too. The home is well maintained and the team are always cheerful and more than willing to offer help and assistance whenever needed. We feel we made the right
choice for my mother and for us.

Review from John G (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 26 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The level of care is simply outstanding. There is very little turnover of staff; visitors are always warmly welcomed and offered a cup of tea. The home is happy for you to visit at any time during the day and - as a frequent visitor to the home - I can vouch that the level of cleanliness and degree
of support for my mother-in-law has never been short of outstanding. Activities are organised on a very regular basis that engage residents in achievable and stimulating tasks and special days in the calendar, as well as birthdays, are celebrated with an assortment of decorations, special treats and events/activities. Outside groups also provide entertainment, a monthly church service, etc. It is a place in which you can have complete trust that your loved one will be very well looked after and cherished.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a difficult search to find a care home for my parents, I am very happy with the care they receive. The staff are friendly, caring and prepared to go the extra mile. Activities are organised both within the care home and trips out. Welshwood Manor is a gem.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.892) out of 10 for Welshwood Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.142 for Welshwood Manor is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.142
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Welshwood Manor is based on 10 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
