Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Excellent care for my cousin for the last few years of his life having had a heart attack. He was disabled all his life but managed to always overcome his disability. The care home appreciated this and enjoyed his company.

Review from Becky W (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Beggars Roost for 4 years. During this time she has received excellent care and support as her dementia has progressed. The staff are professional, caring, friendly and welcoming to residents and relatives alike. They have always met my mum’s changing needs with care and
support whilst maintaining her dignity. As a relative, I have always been kept well informed of my mum’s care and been made welcome whenever I visit. The staff work hard to provide activities and events to include everyone and ensure relatives have happy memories of these shared occasions. I would strongly recommended Beggars Roost nursing home to others.

Review from Paul U (Son of Resident) published on 3 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Beggars Roost for a year now and has been very well cared for in all that time. All the staff are friendly, helpful and importantly always available to help or talk to. Mum seems better now than she has been for a long time and bearing mind she loved her home, she finds Beggars Roost
a real home for her now she can no longer sustain an independent life. The staff are a real team and well steered by matron whose whole existence seems dedicated to the welfare of her family of residents. The volunteers are fantastic, and the activities are a real stimulus to Mum who enjoys her time in the conservatory with the other residents. That said staff are well aware that sometimes she just wants quiet private time and respect that giving her space and taking her wherever she feels comfortable. We could not have chosen a better home to extend to Mum the dignified care she deserves.

Our mum spent nearly 2 years at Beggars Roost until she died very peacefully. We were very happy that she was looked after so well, and she often told us how kind staff were. The activities in the lounge always seemed so companionable and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Beggars Roost is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.741 for Beggars Roost is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.741
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beggars Roost is based on 16 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 = 3.9
    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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
