Review from Alan W (Son of Resident) published on 20 July 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is currently a short term resident at Mill View Residential & Nursing Home (Martin House). I always find the staff most helpful and kind. They always do their best to answer any questions I may have, and look after mother to the best of their abilities. Staff are very helpful in getting mother
ready when we take her out on little outings into Bolton.
I am Very happy with care provided. Staff are excellent. I feel my mother is in excellent hands and this gives me piece of mind at this difficult time. Its a pleasure coming to visit knowing my mum is in safe hands.

Thank you Mill View for all your help and looking after my mum, highly recommended indeed.

Current Review Score: 7.5 (7.542)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.5 (7.542) out of 10 for Mill View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 7 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 3.748 for Mill View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (28 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 3.748
  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 3.794 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mill View Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.6
    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 180 registered maximum number of service users is 36. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 36 = 0.194
  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.
