Review from Ann W (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In my opinion the current staffing levels (1 nurse and 2 care assistants to 10 patients) is too low to provide the care I expect.
She has dementia and does not receive adequate stimulation and attention.
The staff try to care as much as possible, but staffing levels do not allow them to spend as much
time with them as we would like and the patient's need.
Reply from Tom Holloway, Digital Marketing Assistant at Barchester Sherwood Court Care HomeThank you for taking the time to complete and share your review of Sherwood Court. Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of all health and social care services in England have recently inspected our home and we are pleased to say that we received a “Good” rating from them. We meet and often exceed the required staffing levels within our home as recommended by both the CQC and by Barchester Healthcare’s own care specialists. We are continually monitoring the provision of activities within our home and have a weekly activity programme as suggested by residents and supported by our own activities co-ordinator, staff and families. We are always open to comments and suggestions and my door is always open to families.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for Barchester Sherwood Court Care 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 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 4.805 for Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.805
  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 Barchester Sherwood Court 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, 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.
