Review from Linda K (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 21 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First time I have been in for a visit. Mother is so well cared for and dressed in matching clothes (colour coordinated). Delicious food and she is given a choice. The staff listen and act on request. The care and safety are excellent. She is seated on an alarm cushion as she has had previous falls.
The best home I have ever been in!

Mother went for an eight-day respite stay and was treated amazingly well. All the staff we met were courteous, helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we remained in contact during a family holiday. Overall, from making contact to arrange care to collecting Mother, we have received a professional,
helpful service. We would highly recommend Tenlands.

Tenlands is a friendly home to visit. The staff couldn't do more to care for the residents. They look after my mother as if she was a mother to each of them.

Care is constantly sound giving me peace of mind. They are always so busy but take time out with you if needed. Mother was 90 on the 31st and they ensured we had a great day.

The care and overall standard of support are, as always, first-class. Unfortunately, Mam had to be moved to another room recently, and she wasn't very happy with her room.

My aunt is extremely happy in the home, although, since the pandemic, activities/weekly exercise classes have not really resumed, resulting in days being long and basically only watching TV. Outings again would be a good step forward, together with weekly exercise classes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mam is treated with both dignity and kindness by all of the staff. She has been in Tenlands since 2018 and calls it home, which speaks volumes. Nothing is too much trouble. If there are issues then they are quickly resolved. The care home has negotiated the demands of the pandemic really well, catering
for my mother's emotional and physical needs. Today the staff organised a lovely birthday treat for my mother's 93rd birthday. I could mention all of the carers but there isn't space. Superb teamwork from all the staff. Mother is very happy, as is the whole family.

I haven't been able to visit very often because of Covid restrictions. I have only been able to see my friend in the conservatory, until today. The visits have been running smoothly and managed appropriately, so I feel I can't comment too vastly regarding the ratings.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Tenlands 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.944 for Tenlands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 320 Ratings = 4.944
  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 Tenlands Care Home is based on 27 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 20 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 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 27 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.
