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:

5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Amberwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
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 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Amberwood Nursing Home is based on 1 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.208
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.

Review from Paul C (Son of Resident) published on 22 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

We have been extremely pleased with the care my later father received. From the day he arrived through to him passing, the staff were amazingly caring and took my families thoughts and wishes in due consideration.
We were always welcomed warmly and visited approximately five to six times per week.

Review from Howard D (Nephew of Resident) published on 5 November 2019 Submitted via Website • Report

My aunt has been a resident now since April. We needed a care home we could trust as we live 200 miles away and after looking at several homes this one stood out, the atmosphere is very calming the staff very friendly and always available to talk. My aunt is very well cared for. We can only visit every

6 weeks or so, the house is always clean and tidy, and we know she is looked after giving us peace of mind.

Review from Trish L (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report

My Father was at Amberwood for only 5 weeks but received the very best of care with friendly compassionate staff who ensured his last weeks were comfortable and safe. We cannot thank them enough. They kept us well informed at all times about his health and care we would not hesitate to recommend them.
