Review from Cheril T (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Trafalgar Park Care Home staff are hardworking, very caring and always happy to assist residents and visitors. All carers know the residents' names, even when they work in other parts of the care home. The staff treat all with respect and affection. It took time and patience for Mam to settle and this
is understandable. Mam has now another extended family at Trafalgar Park. Can't thank the staff enough. Big, massive thank you to all.

My father has been resident for just over 12 months. In all that time he has been treated with love and respect, he tells us how happy he is to be there. On my visits the staff are all attentive and polite, I cannot fault the care he receives. 10/10 from me!
He is in Poppy community, thank you all!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, a good home with caring staff. Mum wears hearing aids, and we are having a lot of trouble ensuring the staff change and give them to her every day. Most days, she is not given them in a timely manner (when dressing). The room is very nice, and the food and beverages are very well-managed. The
staff are excellent. On the whole, everyone knows my mother and is really pleasant.

We understand how debilitating it can be not to hear, and we are sorry this has been an issue. Thank you again for your kind comments, please be assured we will aim to resolve any issues raised to make life even better for your mother.

I came to visit my friend on the 3rd of February, and as usual, the staff were polite, courteous and welcoming. My friend looked better than my last visit when she was recovering from a UTI and a recent fall. She was happy and chatty. She had just eaten her lunch which she said was very nice, especially
dessert.

From first viewing the room and care home before admission, we were so impressed. The staff are so caring, nothing is too much trouble. The residents are so well looked after, it puts my mind at ease knowing everyone is treated with dignity. In my opinion, Trafalgar Park is an amazing care home.

As soon as I walk in the very friendly staff made sure I'm taken to my aunt's room. During my visit, I'm offered tea and have a lovely chat about my aunt. Her health, diet and needs are always updated and my input is always noted. All the staff that I have been involved with are so caring and very friendly,
this comes across in my aunt's opinion too. She feels so comfortable with each one. I personally have many chats with one member of staff in particular, my favourite.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am always made welcome at the main entrance and then at my sister's room. The staff always make sure that my sister chooses which room she has her visitors in if she wants to have some privacy. She is always looking fresh, clean and her clothes are chosen with care. She enjoys the meals which are
always different from day to day and the carers are ever ready to attend her every request. The carers are always cheerful, helpful and understanding of her particular needs.

Mam has been here since August 2022 and from day one we have felt like one of the family. The staff are all special and it's so hard to single anyone out, they keep me reassured and informed. I'm happy they are doing all they can to keep mam safe and comfortable. Always have a greeting and a smile.

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.
