Review from Moira A (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find the standard of care within Galgorm Care Home, next to none from the cleaners to the home manager. Each and every member of staff is approachable, professional and dedicated within their field. My mother is extremely happy, and I can't thank the staff enough for my mother's care and peace of

Review from Amanda W (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was so well cared for while in Galgorm care home. I really was content to leave my dad in the very capable hands of all the staff from nurses, carers, domestics and management. My dad was cared for really well in all aspects of his needs and with dignity. He was made to feel like part of a big
family. I had bad experiences with another care home so was very apprehensive about leaving dad to someone else's care but the staff were all very reassuring to me and also followed through with anything I asked them to do. I was able to relax at home knowing that my dad was fine. I would have no hesitation to have my dad stay here again, and in fact if dad ever needs to be in a home permanently I would like it to be here.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.246) out of 10 for Galgorm Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.546 for Galgorm Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.546
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Galgorm Care Home is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 9 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.
