Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum in law receives wonderful care. The staff are kind and caring and the home is always clean.
The meals are really good and plenty of choice.
There's sometimes an issue with lost laundry but that's the same in many homes.

Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Very friendly caring staff, always there to help, very clean and well organised and very well managed. Always keeping you updated, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your loved ones are receiving the best care possible and so would like to thank all
the staff for their hard work and dedication. Thank you.

Review from Christina N (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
When I visited my dad during his respite, he always seemed content. He was unable to get out of bed, but there always seemed to be staff going up and down the corridor, some of which popped in to see him. All of the staff I met during my visits were very nice. They were all very fond of my dad. I was
told he was eating and drinking well and did see some evidence of this. I was also told his ongoing sores were improving and I did see signs of this. However, he did come out with new sores. All in all though, I did think this was a good service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff know my mother really well, likes and dislikes. They are kind, caring and always willing to have a joke with her.
She loves the food and enjoys sitting in the music lounge.
There is regular entertainment, which all the residents seem to love.
There are always improvements to be made but
the manager is eager to address any issues and work with staff and relatives in the home.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.331)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.331) out of 10 for Melbourne House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 13 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 4.331 for Melbourne House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (14 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.331
  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 Melbourne House Nursing 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.
