My mother has been a resident of Fountain Nursing Home for six and a half years due to dementia and the care has been exemplary. She has been one of the more challenging residents, however Fountain have managed her condition admirably. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and deserve nothing
but praise for their efforts. Thank you very much.

My brother was very happy here. The care he received was kind and gentle. The staff cared about his interests and decorated his room accordingly. The atmosphere was calm and caring. He was always clean and well dressed and available to talk when I telephoned.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We were so anxious about finding a care home for my dad, he needed 24-hour care for dementia and was immobile. From the very first day he was moved from hospital until the day he passed away, the staff were exceptional. Although he was nonverbal, the staff always chatted away with him. Every care was
taken to ensure he was treated with respect and even though he was mostly unresponsive, he still received Christmas presents and a card from the home. My dad loved his music and the staff made sure his CDs were played for him every day. They made the most difficult time in our lives as easy as it could be and we can’t thank them enough.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.408)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.408) out of 10 for Fountain Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.913 for Fountain Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.913

  • b) 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 3.495 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fountain Nursing Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.125

    • ii) 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.37

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
