Review from joanna (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Westbourne Care Home cared for my mum in the last few weeks of her life. Without exception the staff always showed compassion and kindness towards both her and my family. On the first few nights of her stay my mum was frightened and she told me how one nurse sat and held her hand.
The nursing staff
gave my family and I the freedom to play as much or as little a part in her care as we needed. We were supported to make her room our own and we always felt welcomed. It was never too much trouble to make us a hot drink when we arrived or listen patiently to our many concerns. I'd like to say thank you to everyone at Westbourne for helping to make this difficult time more bearable.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Westbourne Care 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.841 for Westbourne Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.841
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westbourne Care Home is based on 18 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 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
    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, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Registerd Manager Joined: 2024

In 2015, I began my journey at Westbourne as a care assistant when it was a nursing home. My battle with cancer inspired me to pursue a career dedicated to giving back to society. In 2021, I was appointed Deputy Manager of Westbourne and worked towards completing my NVQ 5 in leadership and management to succeed Mel Marchant as the Registered Manager. With the achievement of my Dementia Lead Award in 2022, I am now striving towards The Gold Standards Framework award, driven by my passion for providing the best end-of-life care for our residents.
