Review from Maggie (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an exceptional nursing home with a wonderful dedicated team of staff under the Matron.
The devoted, caring and professional care that my Mum received in her last eighteen months of her life was wonderful, together with the care and support the family also had.
Thank you again Matron and
all the lovely Westerleigh staff, you made a very difficult time so much easier.

Review from Carol P (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are always attentive and kind towards my mother. She is treated with dignity and affection. The activities team are always thinking of new and stimulating things for residents to take part in and always help those who are not so capable. The food is always varied and generous with tea, coffee
and biscuits served regularly. Over I am happy with my mother's care at Westerleigh and she is happy to live there because she is treated as a very special person, (which she is).

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Westerleigh Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.858 for Westerleigh Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 113 Ratings = 4.858
  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 Westerleigh Nursing Home 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 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, 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.
