Review from Diana B (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 24 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been associated with Victoria House for over 20 years, firstly through my mother being a resident and then my uncle and my brother-in-law. Now my sister-in-law, Doris, is a resident. During all this time, I have never had cause to make any complaints. Victoria House may not be the most modern,
up-to-date home, but, the minute you walk through the door you feel welcome. The staff are devoted to their residents and treat them as they would their own parents - to me care and well-being are more important than menus on tables, etc., etc. My sister-in-law (at 94) has always been a rather demanding and cantankerous person, but the staff are always very patient with her and, amazingly, manage to get a smile out of her! She is always clean, well cared for, and well fed.


The home is well led by the Matron, who I have seen develop over the years into an efficient and caring leader. Her staff respect her and share her same caring values.


I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone looking for a "home from home".

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Victoria House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.950 for Victoria House is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.95
  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 House is based on 12 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
