Review from Trish A (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 9 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have visited Kitnocks House many times and have always found the staff to be friendly, efficient and polite.
On the downside, there is a nasty odour when you walk through the men's section.
Reply from Janice West, General Manager at Kitnocks House

Thank you so much for your kind comments about the staff. With regards to the odour in the men's section, the unit is cleaned every day and we have automatic air fresheners, however, I will look into how we can improve this.

My wife has been a resident for eight months and from day one has been cared for in a most excellent fashion. All the staff even those not directly concerned with personal care are involved with the residents and treat them with dignity and respect. I could not ask for more.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.758) out of 10 for Kitnocks House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.323 for Kitnocks House is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 99 Ratings = 4.323
  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 4.435 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kitnocks House is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.635
  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.
