Review from D L (Brother of Resident) published on 2 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I are/were overwhelmed by the kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Walton House. My relative (sister) was terminally ill and died in Walton House but from the minute she moved in, it felt as though a huge burden and worry had been lifted from the family because we knew the
staff were professional and competent but more importantly kind to both the resident and their families. I recommend Walton House without reservation - nothing was too much trouble for them and they delivered a difficult service with compassion and importantly too, a smile.

Review from J B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Walton House in summer as a very frail, poorly man, he had made the decision himself as he struggled at home, he had resisted moving into care as long as possible as he worried with so much bad publicity around care homes. He settled into Walton House and often commented how well
he was being looked after, the staff were all very nice. He also enjoyed the food which was a varied menu. From the families point of view the home gave excellent care. All the staff were friendly to visitors and the residents and treated each one with dignity. We knew dad was receiving excellent care and was safe. We visited many care homes before settling for Walton House and knew as soon as we looked around it was the right place for dad. Thank you.
Reply from Janet Harris, Manager, RGN at Walton House Nursing HomeThank you for your kind comments. Your father was a lovely gentleman and a pleasure to look after. On behalf of myself and all the staff at Walton House may we wish you and your family a peaceful Christmas and New Year, Kind Regards.

On behalf of our whole family we would like to thank everyone at Walton House for the care and kindness shown to our mum while she was there. Not only to mum but but to members of the whole family and friends who visited her - night and day.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.653)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.653) out of 10 for Walton House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.803 for Walton House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.803
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Walton House Nursing Home is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
