Review from Pauline P (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Rooms are a bit dull, food not that great, staffing levels are quite poor sometimes, but the staff themselves are great. Entrance and the overall state of the building is quite shabby. I have asked for Mum to change rooms, but this has not been achieved. For the cost of keeping Mum there, I do not think
it's good value.

Review from B C (Husband of Resident) published on 30 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Seven years ago my wife suffered a severe stroke that we did not think she would survive. The last eighteen months have seen her condition and mental state deteriorate, she had given up hope of ever recovering. Two months ago she was admitted to Vyrnwy Nursing Home. I did not think that she would ever
return home. Now she is laughing, eating, walking (with a stick) and looking forward to life. An amazing place with even more amazing staff!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Vyrnwy 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.766 for Vyrnwy Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.766
  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 Vyrnwy Nursing Home is based on 15 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
