Review from P S (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I'm truly grateful for the way the management made it possible for my parents to be together in a shared room in my step-father's final weeks. The staff are extremely respectful and caring at all times. The nursing staff made my step-father's passing pain-free and dignified. I was allowed to be with
him for his final hours even with covid restrictions. I would like to thank them all. A great care home.
Reply from Deepak Kannan, Regional Operations Manager at Blackwell Care HomeThank you for your kind words and our staff are indeed committed to delivering the best possible end-of-life care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum was moved from hospital into the care of this home, we are delighted our mother is happy and so well cared for in this lovely home which has a very warm and friendly atmosphere, all staff are kind, knowledgeable, approachable and do the most amazing work. It has made an incredibly hard phase
of our family life a little sweeter. 7 months on, we still feel our mum has all her needs cared for and as a family, we also feel supported. Thank you Team, it’s clear each and every one of you genuinely cares and has a huge heart of gold.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.622)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.622) out of 10 for Blackwell Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.772 for Blackwell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.772
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blackwell Care Home is based on 14 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
