Review from Helen S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has Alzheimer's and came to Memory Lane, following a few admissions to hospital and major problems with safety. She came in August 2016 and immediately I felt she was safe as she used to live alone.
She had absolutely no quality of life before she came here and was constantly angry about
everything but now I often see her joining in with activities, usually with a smile on her face.
The staff are absolutely dedicated and treat all the resident's with dignity and respect and I feel like they actually love my mum, which is so heartwarming to see, especially when her mood is very up and down.
There is staff constantly in attendance, to both the mobile residents and those who can hardly lift a finger.
All are treated as individuals and the interactions are lovely to see, my mum is a human being again.
The environment is clean and tidy and well maintained with even the maintenance men knowing all the residents by name. It really is a lovely place to live and to visit.

Review from Bernadette K (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
At a time when our whole life was turned upside down, we were treated with empathy, respect and concern. We needed to be guided through a sequence of events that were strange, scary and at times terrifying. Ottley House provided us with support and clear instruction on how to make the right decision
of care for our dearest mum. The Head of Unit staff member organised the resettlement of Mum and gave us the strength to go forward. We were offered and still are offered opportunities to discuss and implement our mother's care. Nothing is too much trouble. The Manager cares about what happens in the home, his staff, clients and families. We as a family are very lucky. Mum is happy, hence we are too.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since arriving at Ottley House in September. My mother has thrived. She is well cared for, the staff are lovely, treating her with care and kindness at all times. Although she has dementia, she says how lovely all the staff are. They are patient and include her in all the activities, no matter how much
trouble it is. We have peace of mind knowing she is taken care of so well.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.468)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.468) out of 10 for Barchester Ottley House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.468 for Barchester Ottley House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.468
  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 Barchester Ottley House Care Home is based on 22 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
