Review from Casey T (Niece of Resident) published on 26 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Awful experience with my relative. His room was absolutely filthy constantly. At various times it was infested with ladybugs. Instead of getting someone in to sort it out properly their answer to this was to board up the windows with plastic screens therefore allowing no air into the room and making
it sweltering hot in the summer. We could always see dead bugs then between the window and the plastic which were never cleaned and removed. Dust and dirt everywhere. Tablets on the floor that they had dropped and not realised. So whether they had even given the right dosage to my relative we’ll never know. We were asked to take in yoghurts and a mini fridge. These were rarely given to my relative and left to go off in his room. The food was absolutely vile. Constant scooped lumps of mash and god knows what else. When the windows were in use they were smashed and had a block of wood holding one slightly open! I could go on and on. We have moved our relative to somewhere much better! Avoid!
Reply from Helen Randall, Manager at College Fields Nursing HomeHi Casey,
We take all feedback seriously. We aim to provide the best possible care. It is disappointing that when we spoke last you informed me that you had no concerns about anything, including care provision. You stated that you wanted your friend moved so he was living nearer to his disabled wife so she could visit him more frequently. You informed me that you were not his niece, but a friend of the family but you are now referring to him as a relative. I apologise if I misunderstood the relationship. When there were issues with lady bugs we called out our pest control contractor. The plastic screens were secondary glazing, as the home is a listed building we cannot have double glazing so these screens keep the rooms warm in winter. Your friend never complained of being too warm, if he had we could have removed them. If you had provided me with details at the time of your other concerns, I could have investigated them thoroughly for you. I am pleased you are happy with the new home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for College Fields Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.765 for College Fields Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.765
  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 College Fields Nursing Home is based on 20 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
