Last month dad was rushed into hospital twice in three day. All the staff who looked after dad were kindness itself their kind positive attitude helped us get through this dark time. We would like to thank the staff member who stayed with my dad and brother at hospital.
Also a special thank you to
all the staff at Trafalgar Park, also a special mention to the ladies who maintain this marvellous home.

All the staff from the manager down have a caring, sympathetic nature. The staff are patient and spent time persuading residents to eat their meals, drink plenty of fluids and partake in activities. Resident are always nicely dressed, presented, and treated with respect.
A trip to the seaside has
just taken place, with a street party and concert. As with all good organisations, leadership is vitally important, and the home now has good management which knocks onto the staff.

My mother has always received the best possible care her eat Trafalgar Park. The staff are kind and caring and always happy to help. My own daughter is getting married next week and the Manager has kindly arranged for her transport to the wedding venue along with a carer to assist her. We are extremely
grateful for this offer of help and it means a lot to me.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It is a very upsetting time watching someone you love suffer with dementia and deteriorate before your eyes but the care my nana receives from Trafalgar Park is wonderful. Every time I visit I am met with a warm welcome and the feel that the carers really care about my nan. I recently had a baby and
the care home allowed me to email pictures which they took to show my nan. It really meant a lot as I live a few hours away and don't get to see her as often as I'd like.

We were so happy to find out that out mum was coming to our niece's wedding. Trafalgar Park had given her a carer for the day so she could come to this event. The care was brilliant and looked after her so well and joined in with our family brilliantly. Just watching the care our mum receives in the
home and outside shows what dedicated caring staff there are at Trafalgar Park. Thanks.

My great aunt is well cared for and happy at all times when we call. She is 98 and this great age is accredited to her care over the first few years she has been placed in the home. Staff are always very friendly and I am pleased with the support/care they give.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since being a resident for around sixteen months I have found the staff very helpful and respectful. All my needs have been met. Even when they are short staffed they try their best to be at our attendance. They deserve much more time to themselves and more pay but they still do their best for us. They
certainly deserve our respect.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The quality of care received by my brother-in-law is of the highest order. The staff are most caring and considerate in what can be very trying circumstances. Their friendly nature to family and friends of their residents gives confidence to families that their loved ones are really cared for. This
is most re-assuring especially when so many care homes in Great Britain received justifiable criticism for poor care and abuse to residents in past times.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for Trafalgar Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.688 for Trafalgar Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 292 Ratings = 4.688
  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 Trafalgar Park Care Home is based on 26 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 26 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.
