Review from Allan W (Husband of Resident) published on 17 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been in your care now for approx 2 years, and she is very happy & contented. She is always attended to, always clean and kept well dressed, there is never an odour, considering her lack of body care control is wonderful.
She has put on weight and looks in good health. I am very pleased
with her care, and whenever I visit, I am always welcome and she is always being looked after in the same continuous manner.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Have been a resident in Northfields for the last 16 months within which time the business has been bought out by the Wood Group, who are slowly transforming the home for the better. The food and interior alterations are exceptional with more improvements to come. As a resident I look forward to the
future here and highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.619) out of 10 for Northfield Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.694 for Northfield Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.694
  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 3.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Northfield Care Centre is based on 6 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 = 3.55
    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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.375
  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.
