The Review Score of 7.4 (maximum of 10) for Kingswood Lodge Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Kingswood Lodge Care Centre in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
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 4.293 for Kingswood Lodge Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.293
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 3.111 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingswood Lodge Care Centre is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 = 3
Target of 9 positive Reviews (45 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 1 Reviews ÷ 9 Target = 0.111
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Kingswood Lodge Care Centre has a Review Score of 7.4 (7.404) from 5 Reviews

My mother had respite care at Kingswood Lodge Care Centre for 12 days and was well looked after and recovered well enough to go back home after a fall and stay in the hospital. The family were very pleased with the care and attention given to mum by the staff during her stay.

My mother-in-law was very happy for the last 2 and a half years of her life she spent at 'Kingswood Lodge Care Centre'. She had the care she needed and encouraged to take part in a varied programme of activities which she thoroughly enjoyed. At the same time she was able to retain as much independence as possible, which was important to her. The staff have been caring and friendly at all times - both to mum and to us.

I can thoroughly recommend this home. The staff are always very cheerful and caring. My husband is very happy and has no complaints whosoever. The lounge is so comfortable with a television and entertainment. Most people also have a television in their rooms including my husband.
A list of activities are posted on notice boards every week showing day to day of activities throughout the week. Yes, I agree this is a really lovely nursing home. No complaints at all.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Iain M (Husband of Resident) on Tuesday 8 March 2016. Relates to February 2016.
Overall, extremely well run, largely due to Deputy Manager. For most of the past year she has had to cover for absent or non existent managers. This has restricted the time she has been able to devote to individual patients. Activities, excellent due to the staff who provide a wide range and personally encourage residents to take part. Nursing care excellent though as busy on admin numbers of agency nurses have to fill in, spoiling the continuity of care. Food adequate and well cooked, rather old fashioned and stodgy to suit most residents, too many carbohydrates for people unable to exercise. Cost has to be kept down to meet council grants, so staff numbers just sufficient.
