Review from Judith B (Sister of Resident) published on 7 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Having hoped and waited in vain for improvement over many months, my relative is now settled in a home with excellent management and care. Although I have group rated 'care' and 'staff' as Poor, a few individuals would have scored higher and it was sad to leave them.

My mother receives care appropriate to her needs- she is fed, changed, washed, bathed and has her hair washed by staff who are reliable and efficient and show my mother a lot of attention.

Review from Beverley R (Friend of Resident) published on 26 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have an elderly lady friend who has been in hospital for a while and at the moment is unable to return home. I brought her into Moorfield as I found the home to be small with not a lot of residents but very homely and welcoming. Some of the staff have been employed there for years and are very kind
and caring.

Review from Margaret W (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been at Moorfield for nearly 3 years and couldn't be happier. He has a great relationship with all of the staff including domestics and the chef and other kitchen staff. Every one of them always has a cheery word for my dad and me and the rest of our family. After a recent spell in hospital
dad couldn't wait to get back 'home' in his words. Now he has settled back he is really happy again. I am really happy with dads care knowing that his needs are being met and that he is in a safe and caring environment.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.509)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.509) out of 10 for Moorfield House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.509 for Moorfield House is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.509
  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 Moorfield House is based on 13 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 13 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.
