My mother was admitted to De Baliol Care Home in July 2025 after a long period in hospital. She celebrated her 90th birthday this year, which in all honesty I didn't see happening last year. My mother says she is happy with the care she receives from the staff at the home and I agree that she has been
well looked after since she arrived. De Baliol in my opinion is well managed and has a good atmosphere.

In October when my uncle first went into the care home for respite. The staff were excellent and I noticed how very clean the home was. My uncle has come on excellently. For 24/7 hour care, my wish and I hope he becomes a permanent resident.

From day one when my uncle went into the care home he was treated very kindly and we the family, were treated the same, we were given information about his care and the staff helped with various other things for my uncle which they didn't have to do. We are happy that he is being well cared for in a
safe environment.

My sister is really comfortable at De Baliol as it is in the village where she was raised. Myself and my sister know quite a few of the staff so she felt at home straightaway. The care home has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for De Baliol Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.695 for De Baliol Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 367 Ratings = 4.695
  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 De Baliol Care Home is based on 30 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 30 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.
