Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.172)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.172) out of 10 for Gnoll Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Gnoll Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.172 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gnoll Nursing Home is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.8 = 0.172
  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.

Mrs Nargis Sardar is the Co-Owner and Director of Serenity Homes Ltd, the company that owns Gnoll Nursing Home. She has served as the Responsible Individual since 2019, taking over the role from her partner, Mr William Sardar.


Both Nargis and William are retired nurses who dedicated many years of service to the NHS before purchasing Gnoll Nursing Home in 2005. Originally from Pakistan, Nargis trained and qualified as a nurse before joining her husband in Saudi Arabia, where they spent several years providing medical aid to Bedouin communities in remote desert regions. During this time, Nargis also worked as a midwife, proudly delivering countless babies and serving the Bedouin community for over a decade.


Nargis and her family moved to the United Kingdom over 30 years ago, where she continued her commitment to healthcare as a Health Visitor within the NHS, a role she recalls with great pride and affection.


Known for her passion, motivation, and high standards, Nargis leads by example, holding both herself and her team accountable for delivering exceptional care. She remains approachable and deeply involved, always available to residents, families, and staff alike.


As she prepares to step down from her role as Responsible Individual this year, Nargis will be passing the responsibility to her daughter, Elaine Sardar-Dean, while continuing to support the organisation in an advisory capacity.


Her wealth of experience, compassion, and unwavering dedication continue to inspire those around her, and the Gnoll Nursing Home team is proud and fortunate to have such a strong and respected matriarch guiding their journey.
