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 5 for Ashdowne Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5
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 1.542 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashdowne Care Centre is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3 then divided by 2 = 1.500
Target of 12 positive Reviews (60 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 12 Target = 0.083 , then divided by 2 = 0.042

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Christine (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 16 July 2016. Relates to April 2016.
My father was at the Pinnexe unit from March through to April 2016. He was very sick on arrival but was met by the staff and welcomed into their care. My mother was treated with respect and warmth. No judging took place. She had looked after him, things got so bad medical intervention was called for. He was popular with all the staff, but a few nurses stood out. They treated him like the gentleman he was. The place itself surprised me, as my mother said it was 'a home from home'. All the family were treated well and kept informed.
Although in pain and confused, dad trusted these people and they never let him down. The care he received was exceptional.
It is a pity I cannot name individuals, the staff were guardian angels to my dad right up to, and after his death.
The care home and dementia unit are very well run and clean. Welcoming is the word I would use.
MY family's heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped look after dad. He could not have had a more dignified ending to a wonderful life.
