Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care Mam has received has been excellent. All of the carers take time to get to know Mam's specific needs and I have seen, first hand, the other carers interacting with the other residents. We, as a family, are delighted that Mam is taken out during the day (weather permitting). Any issues or concerns
we have had are addressed immediately. Management is always available to speak to. The deputy manager and events coordinator are second to none! They are both extremely friendly, caring and approachable.

Review from Natalie Z (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 19 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I wish we hadn't put my nana here, if it wasn't for her condition deteriorating, she would still be at The Laurels (their sister home) which was a million times better.
I've never heard of a care home ask family to come in and feed their relative then to add insult to injury ask them if they would
come and sit with them because they are agitated (on a Easter Sunday). I mean, come on, you are supposed to be trained to deal with situations like that, you also get paid plenty to employ more carers to meet the demands of the residents.
Reply from Ian Hindhaugh, Home Manager at Regents View Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time to review Regents View Care Home - we do appreciate all comments and feedback on the service we provide. I have looked into the issues you have raised and can confirm that we invited relatives in as we believed a familiar face and voice may have helped calm your relative, as research has shown that this can sometimes relax agitated residents. Staff understood that relatives were unable to make it due to other commitments. We as a team were looking at all options to minimise risk and ensure your relative was as comfortable as possible. I’d be happy to talk further with you about this so please get in touch if you wish to do so. Kind regards, Ian Hindhaugh.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.404)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.404) out of 10 for Regents View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 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 10 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 4.404 for Regents View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.404
  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 Regents View Care Home is based on 10 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 10 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.
