Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.562) out of 10 for Meadowlands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.562 for Meadowlands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 219 Ratings = 4.562
  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 Meadowlands Care Home is based on 18 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Introducing Sandra Vernal


Home Manager at Meadowlands, Aberdare


“Mark Twain said; ‘Kindness was the language that allowed the blind to see and the deaf to hear it crosses all barriers. I would define kindness as going that extra mile for people and showing consideration for others in all of your actions.”


As a Mental Health Nurse, Sandra has gained over thirty years experience in caring for people. She considers herself to be very fortunate in that, the career she chose many years ago, she still has a passion for and sees it as a privilege to support individuals in maintaining the best possible quality of life.


Having worked with HC-One for many years, Sandra closely shares the company’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every Resident.


She extends this caring approach to her colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


She also works hard to arrange events and activities with nearby schools and clubs and is always keen to include the local community in life at Meadowlands.


When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Sandra remarked:
“Welcoming new Residents and their families to the home, getting to know them and helping them to settle into their new environment and life at the home.”
Outside of work, Sandra likes to wind down by reading a good book, watching a great movie or shopping, she is a bit of a science-fiction geek and is proud of it!


If you would like to find out more information about Meadowlands, Sandra has an ‘Open Door Policy’ and would be pleased to welcome you for an informal chat.
