In general, care has been lovely for Mam. Mam's health is deteriorating and she is doing a lot less i.e.: hobbies etc.
But staff always encourage to partake and go to lounge and mix.

My aunt lives at Stoneleigh Care Home she so enjoys living here. The staff are all amazing and helpful. They can't do enough to help you. She recently became poorly and they were faultless and in my view saved her life with their fast responses. Thank you so much.

My mum was moved into the home only 7 weeks ago and out experience has been fabulous. Every aspect of her care, meals, activities is outstanding. It's a huge weight off our minds to know she's receiving 5 star care. 24 hours a day as she's suffered a stroke and has Alzheimer's. Huge thank you to all
the staff.

As a family, we could not be happier with the care given to our mother. She has had a new lease of life. She is enjoying the activities. The environment is lovely. It is always clean and smells lovely. My mam loves the food and speaks very highly of all the staff. No issues whatsoever. Everything is
perfect.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Stoneleigh Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.850 for Stoneleigh Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (446 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 521 Ratings = 4.85
  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 Stoneleigh Care Home is based on 44 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
