Review from Lynne H (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Three weeks ago today I supported my Mum to move into Brockington House. Moving your Mum as she approaches her 100th birthday is not something you do lightly. I knew that any move would mean challenges for Mum. Seeing her today, she is hardly recognisable as the same person who arrived three weeks ago.
She has absolutely blossomed under the brilliant care of the Home Director's amazing team. She is totally respected for the individual she is. The service provided is shaped around her needs, wishes and interests. There is certainly no hint of 'one size fits all' at Brockington House. I can now sleep easy once again knowing that Mum will be receiving the best care possible for the rest of her days, in what is more like a 5* hotel with a Michelin star restaurant than a care home. Well done and thank you so much to each and every member of the team. Keep up the good work, I know you will.
Reply from Shann Thomas, Home Director at Brockington HouseThank you so much for your lovely review. It is a privilege to be able to care for your Mum and we are thrilled how she is settling into her new home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.646)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.646) out of 10 for Brockington House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.646 for Brockington House is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 390 Ratings = 4.646
  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 Brockington House is based on 30 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 30 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.
