My mam was in the home for two weeks respite. The care and support was fantastic. The care staff need to be on a lot more money for all the work they do.

What an amazing, socially distanced visit. Felt safe but managed to enjoy the fresh air in the garden with lovely seating. The staff were all very friendly and so accomodating. Their empathy and understanding is amazing. Thank you for everything you do.

I have had only limited contact with Tenlands really (because of Coivd), but the staff are extremely helpful and professional. In my experience, my mother seems to be happy and content at Tenlands, which is obviously down to good attention from the staff.

Our mam is getting so well looked after. Her room is lovely. The staff, I have met have been so lovely, I have no worries about my mam being in the care of Tenlands as I know she is so well looked after. I would not want her anywhere else. My only wish is I could get to hug her, but this is not Tenlands
fault.

We visit Tenlands once a month for an ecumenical service The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The residents seem happy and to have a good rapport with the staff. Fresh fruit is served along with Tea/coffee and biscuits for the residents. The mother of one of our group was cared for at Tenlands
at the end of her life and the family spoke very highly and appreciatively of the standard of care and support.

Very good care home with caring and attentive staff. Activities are thoughtfully planned and participation by residents and family members are well received. Food and drink are to a good standard with plenty of variety. Hygiene and cleanliness are to a good standard but have had on one occasion to remind
staff on personal hygiene issues for my mum. On the whole, happy with the care mum receives.

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 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 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.
