Review from Jeremy S (Son of Resident) published on 19 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we first visited Brendoncare Froxfield we were struck by the love and personal care being given to each of the residents. It was not the cheapest residential care home that we visited nor the most luxurious. However, it was the one that we felt would care best for my mother's future care needs
as she suffers from vascular dementia. Some day in the future my mother may require more specialist support and Brendoncare Froxfield has a wing for this purpose. Meanwhile, my mother has her own private bedroom and bathroom and is able to enjoy walking around the beautiful central garden, as well as reading in the comfortable lounge. Recently, she suffered a mild stroke and the personal care and attention was second to none. We cannot recommend Brendoncare Froxfield more highly.
Reply from Caroline Hedges, Marketing & Communications Officer at Brendoncare FroxfieldThank you very much for your recent review. We appreciate your feedback and are very pleased to hear your positive comments. It is a pleasure caring for your mother. Kind regards.

Review from Diana A (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent the last three months of her life in the Brendoncare Froxfield home. I simply cannot fault the care and attention she was given during this time. Without exception, every member of staff seemed to have only the best interests at heart the whole time. They were also extremely warm and
friendly towards my mother and myself (and I was a visitor most days). I am so grateful she spent the last few days of her life in their superb care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home.
Reply from Elaine Warriner, Marketing and Communications Manager at Brendoncare FroxfieldThank you so much for the kind donation to Froxfield in memory of your mother. You are always welcome to visit us and we wish you all the best.

Review from Simon A (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 7 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care, sensitivity and efficiency of all the staff was totally exceptional. There is not one single element of criticism one would raise. Genuinely lovely people all who want to help in every way. Nothing was too much trouble and all times the concern for the patient was the highest priority. A truly
humbling experience - many thanks.
Reply from Elaine Warriner, Marketing and Communications Manager at Brendoncare FroxfieldThank you very much for taking the time to review the care received by your mother-in-law at Brendoncare Froxfield. We really appreciate the feedback. With best wishes to you and your family.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.530)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.530) out of 10 for Brendoncare Froxfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.730 for Brendoncare Froxfield is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 137 Ratings = 4.73
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brendoncare Froxfield is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
