Review from Sharon Z (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Movilla House for two years. As I live overseas and only get home to visit her twice a year, it is of the utmost importance to me that I feel I can trust that she is being given the best care possible. I have consistently found the staff to be very attentive, patient
and kind. They address the residents by name and are warm and caring in their interactions.
The home has undergone major refurbishment this year having been newly painted throughout and fitted with new carpets, curtains and decor. It looks completely refreshed and welcoming. The gardens are also maintained beautifully and I have enjoyed on several occasions arriving to find my mother outside with other residents enjoying a warm, sunny day. On my most recent visit I was happy to join her in a cupcake decorating workshop organized by the activity coordinator. A number of the residents gathered in the dining room to make icing and decorate cupcakes with a variety of toppings. They then ate them as tea was served and shared stories of baking in their younger days. A sing-along spontaneously broke out and was encouraged by the coordinator and everyone joined in. It was a delight to see. Also on the wall was a collage of drawings by residents from another workshop and I was happy to see that Mum had also participated in that. These activities and opportunities to gather socially are a wonderful asset.
My siblings and I feel very fortunate that our mother is at Movilla House and we are confident that she is receiving the best of care.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.592)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.592) out of 10 for Movilla House 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.817 for Movilla House is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.817
  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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Movilla House is based on 11 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 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 11 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.
