Review from Alan M (Son of Resident) published on 21 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As we entered The Elms we were struck by the pleasant surroundings - a bright and well-appointed reception area, and a warm welcome. Compared to other Homes in Louth, many of the residents seemed more active and responsive. The lounge and activity area was, again, nicely decorated, with a pleasant
ambience.


The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and it was this that tipped the balance in favour of The Elms. No Care Home will ever be perfect for a loved one, but surely a key factor is the staff, and how they relate to, and care for, residents.


We had no regrets about our decision. My mother was in The Elms for eight weeks, the final three of which she was bed-ridden and very poorly. The professionalism, sensitivity and good humour the staff showed towards her, in particular in the last 48 hours before she passed away, was, it seemed to us, over and above merely doing their job.


Good food. Could do with a make-over in some areas.


Overall, very satisfied.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for The Elms Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.864 for The Elms Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.864
  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 The Elms Care Home is based on 18 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
