My father has been a resident for over 2 years and his health has deteriorated over the past 6 months and he is now bed bound. This has thrown up additional challenges for staff but they have been excellent at providing him with his additional care needs and making him feel comfortable and dignified.
All the staff including nurses, care assistants, admin, ancillary and management are professional and friendly, and go out of their way to help you with any queries you may have. I can't thank them enough for the high standard of care they provide.

The care staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The building is clean, homely and welcoming, especially at the entrance where there are attractive ornaments on display. Meals are varied and tasty, with two choices offered and a "soft" option for those residents who have difficulty chewing. Relatives
are welcomed without restriction over the time they come. There is good communication between carers (the nurses are included in the term "carers") and family members. There are no difficulties raised over bringing in the resident's own hairdresser, podiatrist et al, although these services are in place for residents. Medical assistance is sought as required, and the staff make every effort to get to know the residents, so that they recognise when a doctor is needed. The laundry service is speedy and efficient, and if an item appears "lost" every effort is made to find it and return it to its rightful place. Resident's rooms can be "personalised" with furniture, paintings and photos.

Our mother has been a resident at Almond View since November 2015 and recently celebrated her 100th birthday there.
She is very happy there and well looked after by the caring staff. They are all very very good at interacting with her and keeping her happy and comfortable.
We find all the staff,
nursing, care, ancillary and office staff very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Over all the home is very good, staff are very helpful when ever we ask them anything during a difficult time after my mums stroke.
The room is very nice and the day room also, when my mum ventures out of her room.
Thank you.

Staff are friendly and always on hand if I need any assistance. The cleanliness of the care home is good. My mother is restricted to bed and often the staff try to encourage her to take part in social events, even though it falls on deaf ears with her.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.439)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.439) out of 10 for Almond View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.542 for Almond View is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.542

  • b) 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 4.897 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Almond View is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.897

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
