Review from P T (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am not satisfied with the way the managers keep changing every few months. So there is no improvement in the home also the decor could do with updating and the furiture. On the good side the staff are very helpfull and friendly.
Reply from Lisa Jordaan, Business Support Manager at Glyncornel Nursing HomeWe agree and are pleased to say that we have recently started a major redevelopment project at the home. This includes a brand-new extension, a sensory room and significant improvements throughout the building. These investments will enhance the environment and facilities available to our residents and visitors. We are also delighted to have an excellent Home Manager leading the service who has brought stability and a strong leadership and a clear focus on quality care. Her dedication and hard work have already made a positive difference to the home and the people who live here. Thank you again for your feedback and support as we continue to improve and develop our service

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.793) out of 10 for Glyncornel Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 2 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 4.043 for Glyncornel Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (8 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.043
  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 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glyncornel Nursing Home is based on 2 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, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten 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 = 3.125
    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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.2 = 0.625
  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.
