Review from Heather J (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mam was a resident here up to her death on the 22nd Aug 2015. I cannot thank the staff an carers enough for the wonderful care that my mother received during her 3 and a half years stay. Her care was second to none, mam was treated with dignity and respect by all, in fact they were like an extension
of my own family. With an open door policy there was always somebody on hand to discuss issues with or even to chat with if we felt that there were needs to be addressed. The manager and her staff are the most caring people I have come across in many years. I cannot thank them enough for the care that they gave to my mam in her last days, we as a family thank you so so much.

Review from Sonia J (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mam had suffered with her illness for several years, however in the last year really badly, admitted to different hospitals. Mam went into Glan-yr-Afon care home in May. She was given a single room which was comfortable with lovely bed linen and plenty of storage for her personal possessions. We were
very impressed with the care and dignity mam was given. I was kept well informed at every stage of her care and was shown care and compassion myself which I feel has helped me tremendously at an emotionally difficult time. It is a difficult decision to have to make for a loved one to go into care but I would not hesitate in recommending this care home. Thank you all so much.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.842) out of 10 for Glan-yr-Afon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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 4.892 for Glan-yr-Afon is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.892
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glan-yr-Afon 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 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 = 3.95
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, 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.
