The Review Score of 9.1 (maximum of 10) for Barchester Middletown 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 11 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.508 for Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.508
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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 11.2 positive Reviews (56 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 11.2 Target = 0.625
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Barchester Middletown Grange Care Home has a Review Score of 9.1 (9.133) from 11 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Susan R (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 5 May 2018. Relates to April 2018.
My father has been in Middletown Grange care home for more than 6 months now; he suffers from dementia and I have been pleased by the patient and caring manner in which the staff treat him. His behaviour can be challenging, yet they are careful to treat him with dignity and respect. His care plan is regularly updated and actions taken seem to be appropriate to his needs, both physical and mental. On a couple of occasions, I have needed to talk with the manager or deputy manager over a couple of concerns, and they have immediately taken steps to deal with the issues I have raised. In spite of the demands of the work, the staff are always polite, friendly and ready with a smile.

Good care for husband and have been able to adapt to his needs - training staff as required.
It helps the family to know he is happy and well cared for during his stay.

A clean caring environment. Good food at all mealtimes but meal times are given in the brochures and residents attend at stated times, but food can arrive late or staff are not present to serve it. The wide nationality mix of staff renders it difficult to understand them.

I have only been visiting Middletown Grange since October 2017 when my mother became a permanent resident.
Every visit has been relaxing and the staff very helpful and friendly.
I would recommend this home to other people looking for a place for a member of their family if needed.
The building and gardens are well kept.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Heather H (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 10 November 2017. Relates to November 2017.
Middletown Grange worked extremely well with our family when we needed to move my father into a care home within a very tight time frame. We are very appreciative of all that was done to make this possible. We are very happy with the care and interest all the staff have shown in helping my father and our family adjust to this difficult but necessary transition. We are comforted by the knowledge that my father is now receiving the care he requires at this time in his life. It is early days yet for us with respect to our familiarity with care homes but Middletown Grange staff are guiding us every step of the way. Keep up the great work!
The only constructive feedback I would like to give at this time is about the car park: I think lines to designate parking spots would mean more cars can be efficiently parked in a relatively small area. Given that most residents may have an older adult visiting routinely, it can be quite challenging for an individual of this age to find a spot.

About one representative- She is a breath of fresh air. Intelligent and quick-witted, she's surprisingly good and prompt, enterprising and resilient - surprisingly so for her age. She certainly has the ability and I think, the ambition to advance and succeed in her chosen field. Other carers here are varied. They are an agreeable and co-operative group. Senior members are very competent but the juniors are obviously still learning the job.

My husband has now been at Middletown Grange for nearly 15 months. He has Alzheimer's disease. I visit frequently and he never fails to say how lovely everyone is there. This is also my own experience with the staff. They are really wonderful and he is very happy which is an enormous comfort to me.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Sarah S (Niece of Resident) on Tuesday 9 May 2017. Relates to April 2017.
I last completed a review in Spring 2016 about my aunt's care. She has lived here since December 2013 and is very happy.
She needs considerable help with her physical needs as she is bed bound, the staff are very patient with her as she can sometimes be unsettled and frustrated which make her irritable.
She loves to read, chat to people, watch TV and generally know what's going on in the home.
She is 88 and a feisty character. I am secure in the knowledge that whatever her needs are the care home will meet them. I extend my heartfelt thanks.

My mother in law came to you after a fall breaking her hip.
She had spent six weeks in hospital and was not expected to live very long.
With your excellent nursing and care, she managed to sit in a chair in your sitting room and even had her hair and feet done.
Her passing, though terribly sad, was not as traumatic as it might have been.
We are very grateful to you all.
