Review from Caroline B (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally the quality of care is very good but there are irritations eg. the long (and unreasonable) delays before assistance "turns up" for a toilet call. Whilst there appears to be attention given to residents hot food preferences/presentation it continues to frustrate at times with lumpy potato and
unmanageable meat helpings. Inevitably the attitude of staff to resident care varies, when it is good, it is very good/excellent, but at other times it leaves much to be desired.

Review from Keith B (Resident) published on 4 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I suffer from Parkinsons disease diagnosed in March 2007. I am prone to balance problems which make me unsteady on my feet. One such episode in February 2014 led to a fall in which I broke my right knee. Initial recovery was swift but problems came to light . I have increasing difficulty in bending
my right knee which make it difficult to sit in a standard seat.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Braemar Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.951 for Braemar Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.951
  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 Braemar Lodge is based on 19 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 95 registered maximum number of service users is 19, which has been reached with 19 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.
