Review from Caroline G (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During the time that my mother lived at Victoria Chatsworth, the care and attention received from all the carers and nursing staff was fantastic. When she needed palliative care this was excellent, she was treated with gentleness, respect and dignity,
As a family, we all felt well looked after too
and would like to thank the staff for everything they did until she passed away.

My mother stayed at Victoria Chatsworth care home for 9 months. In this time she was looked after with dignity, care and respect. The staff at all times looked after my mother's best interests. They were patient and kind. They tried their best to make my mother's time at the home as much as possible
a place where she could feel at home.

Review from Marjorie M (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 1 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
- Better information about what's going on would be helpful, especially in advance. (Verbally, as I can no longer see to read).
- I like chicken pieces, mashed potatoes and three vegetables to include sprouts and sliced carrot and broccoli. Don't like thin beans or baby carrots
- Otherwise, I like
the room and the view
- Had problems with the mattress not being on the frame, but now fixed and very comfortable
- Especially enjoy the musician coming

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall my mother has been happy at the home and as she has been there for over 5 years, they obviously know her well. Problem is that now she has dementia, it is difficult to believe what she says about life/everything. She won't join in activities unfortunately and could do with more mental stimulation
- but that is her decision!


Apart from that, the food is good and I believe that the staff treat her well.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Relatives were treated with the utmost care. When our son died, they were there for us and afterwards.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum was admitted to the Victoria Chatsworth at short notice. She was greeted and reassured by the staff. Every effort was made to encourage her to be social. Her room had a good view over the garden and it was spacious. We were encouraged to bring in personal items - pictures etc to make mum feel
at home. Every effort was made to support mum and me! I will aways be grateful to the Victoria Chatsworth team.

Mum appears to be satisfied with all of the care. She hasn't complained to me about her treatment. She is looked after by caring staff. Her appearance is good and obviously likes the food.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Victoria Chatsworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.753 for Victoria Chatsworth is calculated as follows: ( (383 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 485 Ratings = 4.753
  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 Victoria Chatsworth is based on 42 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 42 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.
