Review from Katharine M (Niece of Resident) published on 14 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visit our aunt every few weeks and are really impressed by the care offered. Last year we had another aunt here who needed a high level of care and we always felt confident that her care was excellent. The range of activities offered is very good and offers a variety of stimulation. The accommodation
seems extremely good and we like the way that residents are moved around to encourage communication with other residents. The staff appear welcoming to visitors and compassionate towards our aunt.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we visit we get a good welcome. The staff are always available to help my aunt if needed. The staff encourage drinks and always help when my aunt needs anything immediately. They are always polite. My aunt's room seems clean and is kept tidy. The management are available to discuss any issues if
needed. The home provides a good range of activities and my aunt is encouraged to attend these. She has said she "is well looked after."

I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff. The care assistants and the cleaners are all amazing, they have so much patience and are so kind to the residents. Mother has been there for 5 weeks now and I cannot think of anywhere I would rather she could be.

Review from C W (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has moderately severe dementia and seems to be happy and settled. She is well cared for- clean, well fed and staff are friendly, caring and respectful towards her. Her accommodation is excellent and there is a high standard of cleanliness and decor throughout the care home. Many of the staff
have been there since she moved in (probably longer) so providing good continuity. Most staff supportive although restricted understanding and command of English has made communication (especially by phone) difficult sometimes. I am confident that my mum is well looked after.

I can't recommend Ferendune Court highly enough. The staff and facilities are brilliant. The staff show such kindness towards my mum (and me!) and I never worry that she's not being looked after properly.

This residential home is excellent. The present manager had a mammoth task bringing it back to form, but she has succeeded. With a good manager comes friendly staff, patient and cooperative. I rate them all over 100%. My visitors find them all friendly and remark how nice to offered coffee etc, and
always made to feel welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.588)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.588) out of 10 for Ferendune Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.588 for Ferendune Court is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (18 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 354 Ratings = 4.588
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ferendune Court is based on 27 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
