Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are very considerate and caring for all the residents. They ensure residents are always kept clean and well fed. Staff are always available if I need to ask advice they are very friendly. They do their best to ensure residents are as happy and cared for as possible.

Review from Teresa W (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Over the 4 years that my mother has been in this home, the standards have varied considerably. At the beginning it was excellent but after the manager left things changed. However, now that the original manager has returned, the standards are increasing day by day. The staff are happy and that reflects
throughout the home. They are very caring towards my 97-year-old mother who is now bedridden. She is always clean, as is her room.

Review from Lorraine J (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As a family, we are very satisfied that our Mum is receiving good care and attention. She was very poorly and underweight when she first arrived and now is thriving and on the whole appears happy. The staff team are friendly and interact well with the residents. We have been kept informed of any issues
in a timely way. We hope with the arrival of the new activities coordinator that some structure and organised activities can be a regular thing as it is very important to stimulate people.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.657)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.657) out of 10 for Avenue House Nursing & Care Home 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.657 for Avenue House Nursing & Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (333 Excellents x 5) + (129 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 475 Ratings = 4.657
  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 Avenue House Nursing & Care Home is based on 39 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 39 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.
