Review from Simon O (Son of Resident) published on 14 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff were absolutely fantastic. Mum was resident for "end of life" care. She was very ill when she went into the home but actually picked up due to the friends she made who were her carers.


My wife said "Not only did they care for your mum, they actually cared about her"

My mum has only been in this care home for one month but so far we are very pleased with the care she is receiving.
Can't comment on meals as we have never seen any being served.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father came into the home. The care and support he has received has been very good. The cleanliness of the home and my father's room is excellent. The staff have treated my father with dignity, which to me has been very important. Staff have been understanding and supportive after making the decision
that my father needed to be cared for in the home. The meals that my father has been offered is good and he is enjoying the meals that he has had.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I am very happy with my mother's care, she is well cared for. The staff are all lovely and I know that they really do care for her. She is well presented, clean and well fed! If there is a problem of any kind I am informed (telephone or when I visit).


My only concern, and it is a very small one,

is the rooms could be updated and more modern, but other than that, all is fine.

Review from L H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 1 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In general, the care provided to our relative is good. The only issues we have had are the attitude of some of the older members of staff. They show lack of compassion and come across as impatient. The younger members of staff seem to have more time and explain what they are doing try to put our relative
at ease.

A very welcoming friendly home. All staff are wonderful and genuinely kind and concerned for their service users. My Mum has had the best care that could be possible. Everyone is well trained. They are very down to earth and full of good humour. Sympathetic at the right moments. A joy to visit.

We are generally happy with the care my mother receives at Hemsworth. The staff appear to care about the resident's welfare and are friendly to visitors.
The provision of stimulation for dementia sufferers appears to be difficult.

My husband and I have been happy with the care given to my mother in law. She well cared for, clean and looked after physically.
The staff at the home are friendly and welcoming but I feel they could interact more with the residents. Some activities are provided by an activities coordinator but on
a general basis, I feel that a member of staff should always sit with the residents in case any fell or just to provide conversation.

I know the staff have a lot of paperwork, but I really think there should be someone around to deal with everything that happens.
Don't think there is enough supervision/staff presence in the lounge. We saw a man fall. (I have seen bullying).
I bring magazines and take the old ones home.
Residents
say there are not enough activities/interaction. I have brought crossword books. No one helps to complete them.

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.281)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.281) out of 10 for Hemsworth Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 3.870 for Hemsworth Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 3.87
  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 3.411 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hemsworth Park Care Home is based on 3 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    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 93 registered maximum number of service users is 18.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.6 = 0.161
  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.
