The Review Score of 6.8 (maximum of 10) for Castlehill Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Castlehill Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 1.8 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no positive reviews in the last 12 months)
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 5 for Castlehill Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 1.772 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castlehill Nursing Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25 then divided by 2 = 1.625
Target of 6.8 positive Reviews (34 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 6.8 Target = 0.294 , then divided by 2 = 0.147
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Castlehill Nursing Home has a Review Score of 6.8 (6.772) from 3 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Andrew B (Brother of Resident) on Thursday 2 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
It is a big decision for any family when the time comes to hand over the care of their loved ones to someone else. Well, like myself and family, we can assure anyone who has to make that decision that they need have no fear when it comes to Castlehill in their choice of nursing home.
The staff are outstanding in their care and attention to all the residents of the Home. My sister who spent over a year and a half in the home before she died had the most dedicated staff looking after her in her wellbeing and during her illness in her last few months and days.
The welcome and generosity our families received when we visited (and no restrictions on your visits) was outstanding.
It's a good reflection of the homeliness of Castlehill when one hears the stories of the residents when on outings, asking can they go home soon, meaning go back to Castlehill.
Thank you, Castlehill for being such a lovely home for all your residents.

Let me quote from my letter to Castlehill Nursing Home today:-
"Words cannot describe the immense appreciation we have and will forever hold for each and every one of you.
It was not just your total care, attention and dedication for our relative which shone through, but also your warmth and love for my sister during her 16 month stay until God called her.
Castlehill was her home until God decided it was time for her to enter her heavenly home. And from that heavenly home we are sure she will remain with you all and, in whatever ways she can, she will be your help from time to time without you even knowing.
It was an honour for us to get to know you all and we fervently hope that during life's journey our paths will cross again. "

Castlehill is an excellent care home. My brother has been there for many years, the staff love him and he loves them right back. The staff are like members of my family now and they alert me if there is any cause for concern about my brother's health, I trust them totally to put his interests first, and when we take him out, after a couple of hours he wants to go home, and home is Castlehill.
