Review from Ceris S (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 21 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has been a resident here for over twelve months, the care she has received has been outstanding. The staff are helpful and friendly and never fail to keep the family informed of any incident or medial requirement. My visits here are always pleasurable as they all make me feel really
welcome. My mother-in-law is always clean and comfortable and nothing is ever too much trouble for any of the staff.

Review from Betty P (Relative of Resident) published on 21 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Great cousin has been looked after, so well. Firstly with the "bug" (sickness and diarrhoea) then just after she was recovering along came the urinary tract and chest infections. Thanks to the doctor being called and very kind lady going to collect her prescription, she seems to be recovering well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother has been a resident at Victoria for three years. My family and I are very happy with the care and kindness shown to her and us when visiting. The home is always clean and unlike other homes I have visited does not smell. It is furnished lovely bright and modern which the other residents
seem to like staff are friendly and chatty and always have a kind word for you. I would only recommend this home to friends and family.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.592)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.592) out of 10 for Victoria Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.592 for Victoria Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.592
  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 Victoria Care Home is based on 21 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
