Review from Sally-Ann M (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved my dad to be nearer to us. The Amwell Care Home staff have all been great with his move from another home. He seems to be settling well and staff are friendly. He had not had a bath/shower for over two years with his other care home. The Amwell Care Home have gone above and beyond to make sure
he can have baths again and he loves having a bath. I couldn't speak more highly of the staff at The Amwell Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has just had a long weekend respite stay at the Amwell Care Home. From her initial guided tour to the managers detailed home visit to establish her needs and requirements, to her booking into her room and meeting the staff and her stay incorporating activities, hair salon and nail appointment.
General good all around care catering for her dementia needs made her stay enjoyable, and also reassuring for me and my family. Well done to all at Amwell and my mother will undoubtedly enjoy another respite stay again.

Review from Helen (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Under the calm, professional, supportive, caring and helpful leadership at this beautiful new care home, The Amwell in Melton Mowbray are developing a very strong, kind, friendly, caring, and supportive team who are delivering excellent, dignified care . They took great care to listen to Mum's wishes
and requests when putting together her care plan. My mum spent the last six weeks of her life here in a beautiful room. The team at the Amwell were kind, caring, helpful and very supportive of Mums needs and care. Mum's death was peaceful, very dignified and pain-free. We as a family felt totally supported with staff showing great empathy and understanding of our situation.
The Amwell has very dedicated care, and support staff, and some have very special qualities in the way they deliver their care and interaction with the residents. We as a family wish the Amwell every success for the future and would highly recommend it to other people in need of nursing, residential or dementia care.

Mum moved into The Amwell Care Home in the middle of March we as a family have been very impressed with the facilities and all the staff. Every time we visit we are greeted warmly by all the staff and offered drinks and refreshments. Mum has settled really well and is extremely well cared for and treated
with dignity.

I recently had his first respite care at the newly opened Amwell care home in Melton Mowbry whilst I visited family. My care was excellent in every way and my wife and I were both reassured and relieved. We tend to do this on a regular 3-4 week basis.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for The Amwell 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.902 for The Amwell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.902
  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 The Amwell Care Home is based on 24 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
