Review from Elaine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are always polite,m professional and friendly. Always ring with Doctor updates if my relat5ive is poorly - always prompt at getting Doctor. Excellent care given. I have recommended this home in the past. The only problem is sometimes I wait at the front door for quite a while before it is answered,
especially at the weekends or out of office hours. I appreciate the carers are busy. Another system is needed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law came into Argyle House in March 2018 from hospital his health has improved since being here, he is well looked after and he is given good meals, the staff are very friendly and look after him very well. We would like him to go to the daily entertainment when possible, especially the
sing songs and the holy communion but overall we are very happy with the care that he is receiving.

Argyle House has provided my dad with a warm, comfortable and homely environment where he is respected and well cared for. The staff are first rate and although busy and time-limited, put their residents first. The food is excellent and residents have their personal choices met consistently.

Since my brother has come to this home, the staff have been marvellous. As he was being sick a lot they checked his medication and found food which he had to avoid. Since this, my brother has been much happier.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting a resident at Argyle House for a little over a year and have been very impressed with the home... it feels "homely". The most impressive thing to me was that the home provides for far more than just the physical needs of its residents, which is encouraging in times when finances
everywhere seem stretched. The staff are great and seem genuinely caring and respectful in their dealings with residents.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Apollo House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.743 for Apollo House is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.743
  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 Apollo House is based on 15 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
