The Review Score of 9.3 (maximum of 10) for Gardenia Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Gardenia Court Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.85 for Gardenia Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.85
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.44 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gardenia Court Nursing Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 5.8 positive Reviews (29 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 5.8 Target = 0.690

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Maxine R (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 17 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
I cannot praise the manager and her staff enough for the kindness and generosity extended to our family.
Mum stayed at Gardenia Court for three weeks of respite care. My father and I were impressed at the welcome shown to us by the staff as we made our initial visit and the emphasis placed on individual care. The care mother received during her stay was of the highest standard.
A family emergency required Mum to return to Gardenia where again she was treated as a family member and cared for in a respectful and kindly manner. I am convinced my father's recovery was aided by knowing mother was being cared for at Gardenia.
Care homes are unfortunately in the media for the wrong reasons. We all wish we could care for our loved ones ourselves but sometimes this just is not possible.
The manager and your staff are an inspiration and role models for our profession.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Denise P (Wife of Resident) on Wednesday 10 January 2018. Relates to November 2017.
My husband spent 12 months at this home and during trial period I found all staff to be kind loving and caring. All the residents were treated with respect and looked after as though they were part of a large family. The home was always clean and the food was balanced and well presented. Family members of the resident were always made welcome and could visit at any time. Every effort was made to make residents comfortable and welcome at such a difficult time.

During my wife's stay at Gardenia Court during the last 2 months of her life, she was treated with dignity and respect. The staff could not be faulted and were always cheerful no matter what the task. The quality and quantity of the meals were of the highest standard. Finally, the home was spotlessly clean with very comfortable rooms. You could not wish for better care and service.

Entering the building you are greeted with tranquillity and cleanliness, a place where you would love to spend your last days.
The management and staff consistently demonstrate warmth, respect and empathy in their interactions with people (residents) and their relatives.
Keep up the good work. May the blessings be.

Having over 40 years in the nursing/caring profession in many fields, my standards are very high. However, I cannot find any fault in the care or any of the staff, relating to residents, relatives, at this excellent care home. During the 15 months my son was a resident following a stroke.

My husband died in Gardenia Court on Monday 21st October 2016.
He passed so peacefully and calm that Monday afternoon, due to the care and attendance of the staff in the nursing home, his comforts and wishes were cared for to the end. We as a family cannot thank them enough for all the care he received whilst he was there until the end of this life.
Thank you.

My mother went to Gardenia Court in Uphill for her final days of like and compared to the previous home, the whole experience was amazing. Mum was there for 9 days and was treated so well by the staff, who were amazing and always on hand. Her room was lovely, clean and functional and you could see how happy the residents are. So glad mum got to go here and was looked after so well.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Judith T (Wife of Resident) on Monday 20 June 2016. Relates to June 2016.
My husband resided in the above nursing home from September 2015 until he died on the 4 June 2016. I cannot fault the care given, even when my husband was 'grumpy' I NEVER heard a cross word - just smiles and laughter. My husband spent a few days in hospital and couldn't wait to get back to the nursing home. When I sat with my husband as he was dying the staff looked after me as long as him. They made his end as comfortable and dignified as possible. If I ever need care I wouldn't mind this nursing home.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Christopher J (Nephew of Resident) on Friday 8 January 2016. Relates to January 2016.
My wife and I were given a list of five care homes to view. Gardenia Court was our preferred choice by a long way. When we arrived to view room on behalf of my Uncle, we received a warm welcome from the staff. Our first impressions were of a warm, clean and tidy home with excellent decoration throughout. The room available was a good size and again, clean, tidy and well decorated. During my Uncle's short stay the staff were all very pleasant, caring and kept me in touch when my Uncle took a turn for the worst. We were impressed.
