Rockfield is a lovely home. I am very pleased with the standard of care that my father receives here.
I was relieved when he was able to take residence here as I completely trust that the staff take excellent care of him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since Mum has been a resident of Rockfield, she has had a few episodes of being unwell and required admission to hospital on these occasions. The nursing staff are excellent at knowing when Mum needs medical care etc.


Everyone in Rockfield has been very good and extremely caring of our mother.


Thank

you all.

Review from M C (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted in June and I can honestly say they couldn't do enough for mummy. They have gone above and beyond even for the smallest wee things. She has been ill for at least six months and I have not seen her smile as much till she came here. Nothing is too much for them. They also have been
a great support to myself and the rest of her family. Also, the food is lovely, she is eating a lot more as she was undernourished before being admitted and had to be fed through a peg. We couldn't ask for more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother has been a resident in the above care facility for the past 4 months. Over the past 4 months, I have witnessed overall a high standard of care. Compassion and dignity are indeed at the core of care provided. Each member of staff are genuinely committed to meeting the individual needs
of each resident. My granny always appears settled and content and this means a lot to our family.

My family and I are very happy with the care my mother receives in Rockfield, she is very content and happy with the staff and residents. All her needs are met to a very high standard and her health, safety and well-being are paramount. We as a family are very confident that our mother's needs are met
in every way and although she is very frail we know that Rockfield is the right place for her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.918) out of 10 for Rockfield Care 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.918 for Rockfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.918
  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 Rockfield Care Home is based on 35 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 35 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.
