The Review Score of 7 (maximum of 10) for Church Farm Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Church Farm Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.3 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no positive reviews in the last 12 months)
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.708 for Church Farm Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.708
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 2.341 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Church Farm Nursing Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 8.8 positive Reviews (44 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 8.8 Target = 0.682 , then divided by 2 = 0.341
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Church Farm Nursing Home has a Review Score of 7 (7.049) from 6 Reviews
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Elizabeth S (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 24 April 2017. Relates to February 2017.
My mum lived in Church Farm for the last two years of her life.
From the very first day, we knew she was in the right place.
The staff were welcoming and kind to all of us and the atmosphere was so homely and comfortable.
Mum settled in like a bird in a nest, she obviously felt loved and cared for.
I never saw her looking lost or afraid.
As Mum's condition worsened her care was increased sensitively.
It was a huge comfort to myself and my sisters to see Mum so well looked after from her first day to her last.

My husband has dementia and that is why we chose Church Farm Nursing Home. The food is of good quality and cooked on the premises. It always looks nicely presented. The staff are all very friendly and caring and welcome me when I visit my husband.

Lucy Atkinson, Director at Church Farm Nursing Home responded to this review on 25 Apr 2017:
Church Farm provide just a few planned activities because we focus very much on ensuring that the people who live with us are enabled and supported to participate in a meaningful occupation that is relevant to them, their life history and also includes domestic aspects of life such as washing up, sweeping, gardening and other household activity. We are confident that these are suited for people living with dementia as they are familiar and do not challenge people to achieve an outcome. In addition, we enjoy music, walks in the gardens and some craft activities.

My sisters and I felt that our mother could not have been in a better place for her final few months. We always felt welcome and her care was excellent in every respect. Church Farm Nursing Home has a very positive approach to all the residents and I personally found it an uplifting experience on each visit.

My husband has been in the care of Church Farm Care home since September 2013. Myself and my family agree, that his care is second to none, and we have not seen anything that has changed our view.

I can't thank the staff enough for the outstanding care my mother receives at Church Farm. She is always treated with dignity, compassion and affection. When I visit I am always made welcome and kept well-informed about my mother's condition. The support has been invaluable at this difficult time.
