The staff provide a consistently high level of care for my dad. They are always friendly when I visit and make time to speak to me about my dad's care.

I cannot recommend Forest Hill House highly enough. They were superb and they looked after Mum and Dad with the greatest care and consideration. Truly wonderful people. Thank you all.

Review from Bill R (Son of Resident) published on 19 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad spent the last 20 months of his life at Forest Hill until his peaceful death just before his 99th birthday. Before then he lived in our family home alone since Mum's death 10 years ago. The moment Dad arrived he was wheeled to the dining room for a hot meal which was a perfect start for a sailor
who had served throughout the 2nd World War and had never lost his appetite. During his time there, Dad flourished with the routine, care and activities (particularly music and dancing). From our viewpoint, it was reassuring that Dad was being looked after by skilled care, medical and domestic staff. They all adored him and always had a cheery word for him. He, in turn, always responded. For his 98th birthday party, the cook baked a wonderful chocolate cake which was enjoyed by everyone from Dad to his 3 great-grandchildren. The only slight negative was that laundry sometimes failed to be returned to the correct wardrobe. However, this never impacted on the quality of life that Dad enjoyed.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.403)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.403) out of 10 for Forest Hill House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.831 for Forest Hill House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (70 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.831
  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 4.572 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forest Hill House Nursing Home is based on 7 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.6
    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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.972
  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.
