We have been very pleased with how our mother was looked after and treated with respect. We were always contacted regarding our mother, how she was and how she was going; it was really good to be kept in touch. When visiting Mum, she always looked clean and well-dressed. Thanks, everyone, very much
for looking after our mum.

My dad was only in the home for a few days but he was well cared for. Everyone was so nice and kind, especially the new manager. My dad was treated with dignity, and kindness and his needs were met from admission to the time he passed.

Review from J D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law came in for respite after a new hip. The care she received in the two weeks she stayed here was second to none. The food was good, the carers really did care and the home was very comfortable. She came home in good health without the need for home care. My mum-in-law is 92 and had gone
she gone home directly from hospital it could easily have been a different story.

I visited the home on Saturday and was impressed with the building work going on. I usually visit my friend once a month and I have seen lots of changes in the decor. I was particularly impressed with the activities programme and my friend was telling me she had been to the market shopping and she had
also been gardening. Lots of things going on. It's a much-improved home.

My father has been a resident for nearly a month and the care he has received has been wonderful. All of the staff are professional and friendly. When medication is requested it is given in a short period of time.
All of my questions have been answered by the nurses.
Once the renovations are complete,
the home will be outstanding.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Elmwood House 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.906 for Elmwood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.906
  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 Elmwood House Care Home is based on 11 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
