Review from Peter C (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 4 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I found standards had dropped in most areas but in the last six to eight weeks since a change in management, have found the home is getting back to the way it was a couple of years ago.
Residents are more pleasant and it feels more like their home again. Has improved vastly all round. The manager is
looking for ways and means to help improve every day running of the home.

This care home is excellent from the moment you step through the doors the staff could not be more helpful or friendly. Always made welcome and the residents are very well looked after. Stoneleigh is a credit to all who work there. A very safe and friendly place. I would not hesitate in leaving a loved
one here.

Review from A M (Niece of Resident) published on 21 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The care home was clean and the staff were friendly.
My aunt seems to be well cared for.
Facilities are a bit dated, e.g. toilet could do with a revamp. I would give the home a good review from the few visits I have made.
I live in France so can only visit when I am visiting my parents.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Stoneleigh Care Home

Thank you for your review. The home is currently undergoing a refreshment programme and the toilet facilities are planned to be refreshed in the near future.

Since coming to Stoneleigh my mother has blossomed. She is enjoying the company and activities and loves the caring staff. She eats so much better than when she was at home and of course my sister and I no longer have worries about her falling or being ill. My only regret is that she didn't come here
earlier.

It was nice to see Grandma in such a caring, engaging environment, especially when I've been so worried about her. She's been doing activities, making friends and engaging with everyone around. The carers are sweet, practical and hard working. I didn't expect my visit to be like this. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.824 for Stoneleigh Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (389 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 467 Ratings = 4.824
  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 39 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 39 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.
