I couldn't ask for nicer people to care for my mum. I feel confident when I leave that she is being well looked after and treated with love and respect. You are all fantastic. Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Last year I complained about lack of staff on duty and although I did not get a personal response I can see that changes have been made to the home, it "feels" like more homely, it looks more clean and homely, and although I've never had any problems with any member of staff, there appears to be more
on duty with everyone being absolutely amazing, friendly, helpful, caring people who actually care. The carers, cleaning staff, chefs and the laundry people everyone is so very kind. I feel my mum is in very good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been coming to Summer Lane to use the day centre for the last two years and I really enjoy it. I was suffering from depression and my visits to Summer Lane have made me more comfortable. I have always been greeted at reception with smiley faces. The food is fantastic and it is presented very
nicely too. I join in most of the activities and it has really helped me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The service provided at Summer Lane was excellent. The staff in the dementia unit were very caring and hard working. The rooms were very nice and the food was excellent. The home was very clean and the laundry service was very good. I definitely recommend Summer Lane for someone looking for a bed for
their loved one. The deputy manager in the dementia unit was excellent.

Review from Betty B (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 5 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I like living at Summer Lane and I enjoy everything I get at Summer Lane. Staff are kind and helpful and always respond to your needs with a smile. Food is very tasty and the choices are great. I can always ask for something different if I don't like what is in the menu. Activity staff in the home are
wonderful and they keep us entertained all the time. The bedrooms are very spacious and clean and we have everything we need in our bedroom. The garden in the home is really nice and we usually go out into the garden when the weather is good. I have been living here for a year now and I really enjoy my life.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.680)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.680) out of 10 for Summer Lane Care & Nursing 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.680 for Summer Lane Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 325 Ratings = 4.68
  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 Summer Lane Care & Nursing Home is based on 27 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 27 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.
