I have been extremely happy with the care and support that has been shown to my father. He is happy and content with the care and love he has found here. It has taken a lot of the worry and concern I have for him as I live 150 miles away from him. Thank you.

Review from J S (Niece of Resident) published on 7 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Haven't been able to get into the care home since the beginning of February because of lockdowns. Have been round once a week to drop stuff off, there doesn't seem to be many staff around. My aunt will be 98 in July and before covid, we were able to bring her out for coffee and to stay for the odd weekend.
It's very difficult for her to understand why we can't see her or bring her out when we are all fully vaccinated and taking tests. We are told that we have to live with covid now and restrictions in most places have been scrapped, yet we still have to wear full PPE when we can visit even after a negative test. She is hard of hearing so wearing a mask all the time means she can't hear and makes any visit hard work.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Market Lavington Care Home

Thank you so much for the Carehome review for Market Lavington and the good review overall, it is very much appreciated. With regard to your concerns regarding visiting we know that you are in very regular contact with the home and note that you have been continuing to have window visits. The government restrictions for visiting continue, however, we are pleased to note that these are easing very slightly and our central colleagues have sent out an update letter to all our relatives which we hope you have or will receive in the very near future. Our client group remains incredibly vulnerable, so we continue to do everything we can to protect them as you allude to. We are investigating a different hearing loop system which might help your aunt, although the team do not have issues in communicating generally with her so we were very sorry to read that. We look forward to celebrating your aunt’s 98th birthday in July, plans are already afoot. Please do contact the home manager if you have any further concerns, we know we talk to you regularly, so this would be very helpful. Thank you again for your kind review.

It has been impossible to visit this month because of Covid restrictions but when I last visited in January my sister was cheerful and alert and seemed to have a good relationship with the staff who, of course, have been under great pressure. She was talkative and pleased to see me. I hope when the
situation improves the she will have more opportunities to meet other residents.

My dad was transferred from hospital to this care home mid January. The room was always clean.
He was treated with care and kindness from all of the staff before his passing on the 13th February.
The staff were very supportive to me and other members of the family during our visits at a difficult
time.

My mother was treated kindly and had plenty of choice regarding meals. The room always looked clean when we visited and the facilities were good. The security is good at this care home and the management team always replied to emails very quickly and sorted any queries I had well.

My mother was extremely well cared for during her almost 6 year stay here. The staff are wonderful and Mum was treated so well. In the final 2 weeks of her life, Mum was treated with kindness and dignity and I and my brothers were also cared for as we sat with her. The staff are all kind and caring.

My husband was admitted to be assessed as to his needs he, however, rapidly declined and was confirmed end of life. Staff have been amazing. I'm so pleased that my husband was not in a hospital environment, the room here was intimate and homely, staff fed me and nothing was too much trouble. As my husband's
carer, I was able to visit daily and stay overnight. My husband's last two weeks were what he would have wanted and I'll always be eternally grateful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been in this room for 3 and a half years and I've made it homely with lots from home after a bad fall and smashing my left hip. I was rushed to hospital and after a few weeks, an ambulance brought me here at 8 o'clock in the morning. I am very happy here with a lovely view of very old Ash and
Maple trees, which was the old vicarage garden, but now part of the carpark. There are tables and chairs just outside my French doors which have a high stone step down onto the tarmac. My door is open most of the day, weather permitting. I can't walk very far. I have balance problems too, as well as ulcerative colitis since the age of about 15.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.490)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.490) out of 10 for Market Lavington Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.628 for Market Lavington Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 172 Ratings = 4.628
  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 4.862 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Market Lavington Care Home is based on 15 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 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.862
  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.
