Things have been very hard during Covid in not being able to see Mum on a regular basis, but the home have taken good care of her and Mum seems very happy there. The nurse keeps me informed of what is happening with Mum and they phone me regularly. Thank you to the staff for all they do to help, care
for and support the residents.

Reply from Jenny Boulton, General Manager Amberley at Amberley Hall Care Home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

In March when the COVID restrictions were being eased slightly we saw Mum in the reception/coffee lounge area of Amberley for a change (still wearing masks etc). This is a nice bright area where we could have coffee, tea, and cold drinks whilst chatting to Mum, and the change of scenery made for a very
relaxed and enjoyable time. Mum has been in Amberley since October 2020. In that time she has had a few ups and downs but the staff have been absolutely brilliant and have always looked after her well and kept me updated. I call the home regularly and the staff are always happy to talk to me about the things Mum has been up to and if she needs any toiletries or anything else. I know she is in very capable hands and I can’t praise the staff enough for making her so happy and always smiling even though she doesn’t remember them from one hour to the next as she has Alzheimer’s. Keep up the wonderful work.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.413)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.413) out of 10 for Amberley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.413 for Amberley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (111 Goods x 4) + (48 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 455 Ratings = 4.413

  • b) 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 Amberley Hall Care Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
