The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 24 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.571 for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (91 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.571
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 21.4 positive Reviews (107 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 19 Reviews ÷ 21.4 Target = 0.888
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to review Hafan-y-Coed. We are so very pleased you feel the home is 'superb'. I will ensure your comments are shared with the team as I know positive feedback is so very important to us all.
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Helen H (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 13 March 2018. Relates to March 2018.
My dad has been a resident here for just over a year and I am very happy with the care he receives. My dad was immobile, non-compliant with his medication and needed encouragement to eat and drink, after a lengthy stay in hospital he wasn't in very good health generally as well as suffering from dementia. The care, attention, respect and compassion the staff show to dad is very reassuring. I like the fact that dad is always wearing his own clothes (which wasn't always the case in a previous home) and he is always clean and tidy. My dad is also unable to verbally communicate with staff but they have made a massive effort to get to know him and can now read his facial expressions and dad is now mobile, eating well and takes his medication with little fuss most of the time. Seeing someone you love with dementia is devastating and the care my dad receives is brilliant and he is contented and happy the majority of the time and I know my dad is being well looked after. Thank you so much to all the staff.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Philip A (Son of Resident) on Sunday 4 March 2018. Relates to January 2018.
When it was decided that my father should go into a care home, we weren't happy as we had so many preconceived ideas about care homes. We couldn't have been more surprised. The staff were absolutely wonderful. They treated my father and we as a family as if they'd known us for decades. My father was at a difficult stage in his illness but the staff were so welcoming, kind and understanding, we were overwhelmed by them all. Sadly, he wasn't able to take advantage of the fantastic food and all the activities on offer but they deserve a special mention and shouldn't be underestimated. Thank you all, so very much. I would highly recommend Hafan-Y-Coed.

Hi, Philip
It was truly our honour to work with your father and get to know you all, thank you for kind words and recognition of the activities and work the kitchen does on a daily basis it means so much to the team.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by T G (Wife of Resident) on Tuesday 27 February 2018. Relates to January 2018.
Although my husband was comparatively only a resident for approx 4 and a half months he had the best of care. His carers were kind, friendly, courteous and caring. My husband did not settle to his environment very well as he clearly missed his home life. As the situation was not of our choosing, early days were quite difficult; not only did the staff care for him but they also took care of me.

Hi Doug, thank you for your review and your continued support at Hafan-y-Coed.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by M D (Partner of Resident) on Thursday 26 October 2017. Relates to October 2017.
My partner has been a resident in Pemberton Ward for the last five years, which I feel is a safe and secure environment. I have experienced nothing but care and compassion by the staff, they are always ready to help whether by deed or advice.
The food is adequate for their dietary needs. Drinks are always on hand. Overall I feel that home and its facilities are good for what it was intended to keep in a safe and happy environment.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sarah (Granddaughter of Resident) on Sunday 17 September 2017. Relates to August 2017.
Hafan Y Coed is a wonderful nursing home and I cannot recommend them enough.
My grandmother is a resident there and since her arrival in August, they haven't been able to do enough.
I visit three times a week and every time I am greeted with a smile and a thorough update of her day and how she's doing.
First class service from all staff.

I cannot sing the praises high enough for all the staff at Hafan Y Coed. They are all fantastic. My grandfather has been here for 6 months. Because of his dementia, he can sometimes be difficult but the carers are brilliant with him and have so much patience. They do such a hard job but are always smiling. He enjoys going out on the trips that are organised. The home has a wonderful feel to it and our family are so grateful for all they do for him.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Laura L (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 8 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
The genuine warm welcome we received at Hafan Y Coed when we came to look around for a placement for my father was second to none. We were offered coffee and shown around the home by the Deputy Manager. He spoke so enthusiastically about the home and all the residents he spoke to reacted warmly to him. There was a delay in dad coming into the home but the manager was fantastic at keeping the family updated. He has settled in so well and the care he is receiving at the home is fantastic. Everyone smiles and nothing is too much for them. We looked at so many homes in the area and nothing compares to Hafan Y Coed.

Father-in-law has been here for approximately 6 weeks, has settled in well and the staff have been very good and welcoming.
He has dementia which means he can sometimes be a little agitated. They attend to his needs, taking him into the lounge/dining room for interaction/food and are at hand when he needs personal care. Room is a good size with a toilet, we are able to personalise it with pictures and a TV to keep him occupied/stimulated. Staff are always cheerful, the home has activities/entertainment most Fridays, you are able to have tea/coffee and meals if you mention this and give them advanced warning.
