The Review Score of 8.9 (maximum of 10) for Vida Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Vida Grange in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.595 for Vida Grange is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.595
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 4.282 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vida Grange is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 24.8 positive Reviews (124 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 24.8 Target = 0.282
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Vida Grange has a Review Score of 8.9 (8.877) from 7 Reviews

Not only do the team at Vida Grange care exceptionally well for my mum but they also care for the wellbeing and support of our whole family. Nothing is ever too much trouble and everyone is so proactive, making us all feel at home.

I am very pleased with the way my husband has responded to the approach and overall philosophy of the management and staff of Vida Grange and I wouldn't have him anywhere else. As it is a new home there have been teething problems, but the owners and management have always made themselves available to listen to relatives' concerns and they have responded appropriately. I am confident that they have the will and compassion necessary to provide excellent specialist dementia care as soon as they are able to provide a stable team of staff at all levels. I feel yet, that Vida Grange is a work in progress, but it is making great strides forward.

We've just come home from visiting mum and were once again delighted with the way all of the staff at Vida Grange seem to really manage to keep a smiling and cheery disposition at all times. Even when residents are being uncooperative or depressed the bright outlook of the caring staff seems to raise spirits and produce a friendly welcoming atmosphere.

Very professional yet caring home. Centred around the residents who are respected and shown dignity in a safe, clean and bright environment. Communication between the care home and relatives of residents is excellent and encouraged.
Plenty of staff on hand throughout the day who are very much there to make sure residents are cared for and as happy as possible.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Fiona (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 8 September 2017. Relates to September 2017.
Vida Grange has for 6 months been providing excellent care to my mother - a Parkinson's with dementia sufferer. Mummy came to Vida Grange from hospital after a fall. She has gained over 6kg in weight since then and looks contented, clean, well-cared for and with peachy skin.
Vida Grange made an initial assessment of my mother in hospital and they recommended their smaller, quiet suite of 10 residents which hadn't yet opened. They bent over backwards to put in place a transition arrangement allowing her to leave hospital and settle at Vida Grange.
The care staff are excellent and really do know my mother's needs and preferences. They treat her in a respectful, kind and caring way. They have been pro-active in contacting the visiting local GP and the local Parkinson's nurse team as required. They have also encouraged my mother to stay as mobile as possible following her fall. They have taken her to the dentist and optician. The hairdresser and chiropodist come regularly.

My aunt has only been in Vida Grange 3 weeks but I am very impressed with how well she has settled in and the staff. The staff are great and very caring which is want you want for the ones you love. It's a happy place and I always come away knowing my aunt is well looked after.
