Review from Hayley B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't thank the care home enough for how they have literally saved my mum. She was close to a breakdown again, low, mood swings, not eating and drinking properly, didn't know night from day and extremely anxious pacing, with the hard work of all the staff she's a different lady now. All aspects of
care couldn't be better. The support and kindness is a godsend at times. Best are the activities that keep Mum and her new friends busy throughout the day. Mum is Elvis's biggest fan and the home have Elvis music and books. She's safe and happy and in good health considering she's getting severe Alzheimer's dementia. Mum couldn't be in better care. And her favourite thing now is having her hair and nails done.
Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Old Rectory Nursing HomeThank you so much for this glowing review, it is so nice to see how much of a difference the team have made to Mum's daily life through care and activities. Alzheimer's is an awful progressive disease but if we can make a difference now, that is what matters.

The overhaul care and attention is very good. I haven't found any reason to have to complain and have found the staff extremely helpful, caring and always with a smile. Very happy about the care my mother is receiving.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As soon as my aunt arrived at Old Rectory she was made to feel most welcome and looked after perfectly. I was impressed that they asked me what she liked to do/hobbies so that they could keep her happy and engaged. I am kept informed about any issues very quickly and I feel confident my Aunt is being
well looked after.
Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Old Rectory Nursing HomeThank you for your review. We are glad you are happy with your aunt's care.

During funding conversations, I felt the staff involved fought for the best interests of Mum and showed a level of love and compassion for her. Mum's illness is horrible, and I know she can be difficult at times, but I feel the staff are patient and respectful.
Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Old Rectory Nursing HomeThank you for the lovely review. It is very much appreciated and our team will be happy to know you feel supported by us all.

Old Rectory has been transformed in the last few months, it has a new management team, new decor and environment changes are amazing and the communication is so much better. My mum seems really happy, the Facebook pictures show us that everyone is having fun.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.663)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.663) out of 10 for Old Rectory Nursing 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.717 for Old Rectory Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (37 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.717
  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 3.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Old Rectory Nursing Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.571
  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.
