Review from Eileen M (Sister of Resident) published on 13 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother dribbles constantly he looks a lot better now an apron is put around him, it stops his clothes becoming very wet.
There are times he sweats and it's not a very nice smell coming off him. Other than that, he is very well looked after.

This is a great nursing home. I would recommend this nursing home to anybody.
This is great caring home, they have looked after my brother as their own and it is not an easy job to do and the nurses are a great team, well trained in everything. A great place to be.

Review from Dorren M (Wife of Resident) published on 31 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We, as a family, were more than pleased with the care and attention that my partner was given all the time he was here.
Nothing was too much trouble and carried out with a friendly and cheerful disposition. The only reason to move him to another facility was the matter of upstairs room and problem
of stairs.

I find the staff of the home to be caring, pleasant and extremely interested in their patients. The patients are more than just clients. During her stay in the home, my wife's health has improved immensely and she has become less depressed and agitated.

The staff at this home have been very supportive of my family on the transition of moving my mum from the family home into the care home. They are extremely helpful and nothing seems to be to much trouble. I have a little peace of mind that my mum is being well cared for.

My mother is always clean and warm.
She is well fed and always seems to be content.

I have always been informed of any issues regarding her care by the management.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Somerton Private Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.868 for Somerton Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.868
  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 Somerton Private Nursing Home is based on 17 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
