My husband is in this nursing home and is well looked after. I don't have to worry as I know he is in good hands, he can't eat well but they go out of their way to find something he can manage, that's good caring to me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was admitted at Dussindale in August 2014 he was a poor old thing having spent six weeks in hospital. I must say from the bottom of my heart without the love, compassion, professional caring the staff provided he would have not survived, but dad carried on till this present day. The home provide
24 hour care and that's what dad received. The cleanliness, food and drink, activities all warrant a special praise. Well done to the manager and her team. Well done.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment I spoke to the manageress a dark cloud was lifted, with bad experiences and always fighting for my dad while in hospital, the first thing she did was to give me a cuddle. My dad was fully made a fuss of by all of the staff. At dad's passing we were given dignity. Just a shame we and
dad never got to know the lovely staff properly. Can't thank everyone enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.705) out of 10 for Dussindale Park Care Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.705 for Dussindale Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.705
  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 Dussindale Park Care Home is based on 12 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
