The Review Score of 9.6 (9.554) out of 10 for Castleford House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.554 for Castleford House is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.554
b) 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 Castleford House is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
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.

Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2010
I've had a varied and exciting nursing career, working as a cosmetic treatment nurse for the Harley Medical Group and, before that, staff nurse roles in Chepstow Community Hospital and the Manchester Infirmary Clinic. I became a nurse because a friend of mine applied to nursing college. However, I found that I enjoy caring for people, trying to give them the best care/life possible.
I consider myself to be a good listener, able to provide support and I am not judgemental. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people I care for, making them smile or having a laugh. I like knowing that their loved ones are happy with the care they are receiving.
In my opinion, Castleford House achieving overall Outstanding is the home's best achievement. I believe that I played my part in that, helping develop the home into a forward-thinking environment with more modern standards of care. I celebrate success at home with a meal or takeaway, or treat myself to a shopping spree! At Castleford I like to ensure that everyone knows that they are an important part of any success the home has.
I find that going for a run or walk helps with my mental health. I also cope with stress by writing a list of things that I need to do and prioritising what needs to be done first.
Castleford House and Milkwood Care are very supportive and flexible. The company are keen for the team to achieve further qualifications.
Job Title: Maintenance
Joined: 2008
I previously worked as a heavy plant operator, a JCB driver, a boarding manager at Lafarge Plasterboard and was then manager at Critchcraft Tiles.
One of my favourite things about my role is seeing people smile after a job is done. I find that this role is different to the other jobs I've had, it's a bit of a challenge for me. I think the ability to learn and fix a variety of tasks, many being quite challenging, is one of my strengths.
I think that one of Castleford House's biggest achievements is getting the overall "Outstanding" CQC rating. When I'm stressed I tend to go clay pigeon shooting or blame the wife (and then buy her some flowers afterwards).
At Castleford there's always help at hand if you need it. Being part of the team allows me to achieve so many things in my role.
