Having just had a Birthday celebration, can I say a big thank you to the kitchen staff for what they did and the carers and home for making the most of this day. Everyone went out of their way. So a big thank you to everyone. I would be willing to tell others of how this home is.

My dad is very clear to me that the staff are very kind and respectful and I have witnessed it too. They work hard and are very efficient and accommodating. We appreciate that the staff are very busy, but ideally, it would be great if the response time to the buzzer calls could be better, as sometimes
the wait is quite long. The activities, in general, are enjoyable and appreciated e.g singing, bingo, quiz nights and trips out, are great.

My review is to thank and compliment the staff at Victoria Manor for their help and support in settling Mum into care, after a long stay in hospital. They have made her feel welcome, safe, warm and happy within the Holyrood unit. Please extend the family's thanks to all the staff, knowing that Mum is
being well looked after.

My beloved dad was in Victoria Manor (Holyrood) for several months. Initially a few issues, but as my dad neared the end of his life, I cannot praise or thank all the staff enough in Holyrood, for the fantastic care they provided. Not only to my dad but also to the family. Our family will be forever
grateful for the kindness, compassion and professionalism, the staff displayed.

My mother has been a resident in Windsor Hosue for over one year. The care she received is absolutely exceptional. How can I possibly give this review without mentioning all the excellent staff in Windsor? The lady who is in charge notifies me immediately on my mother's change of circumstances re health
issues etc. All the rest of the team are wonderful!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum moved into the home a week before lockdown, so it has been a difficult time. Mum is content and is being well looked after. She enjoys the activities. When I phoned the home, I was always updated on Mum's condition, and I got to speak to her directly. The staff are kept very busy. I cannot comment
on the food or the cleanliness of the home as I have rarely been allowed in. Hopefully, this year, I will have more access and get a better idea of how the home runs.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.389)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.389) out of 10 for Victoria Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 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 4.626 for Victoria Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.626
  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 4.763 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Victoria Manor Care Home 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 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 118 registered maximum number of service users is 23.6. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.6 = 0.763
  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.
