Review from V W (Wife of Resident) published on 29 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband needed urgent respite care due to failing mobility. From the initial contact, Baycroft Fairfield was extremely helpful, and all questions and concerns were positively and reassuringly dealt with. Although my husband has only been at Baycroft for a few days, he seems to have settled in well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are fantastic; my mother is terminally ill and EOL, however, the staff have given her the confidence to take part in activities, and I can genuinely say that she has been happy since arriving at Baycroft. I don't have to worry any more as she is safe and cared for.

Review from Sue M (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum, who has early-stage dementia, went into Baycroft Fairfield at the age of 92 for 4 weeks respite care following a broken hip. She had always stated that she would never live in a care home! However, 2 weeks into her stay she asked if she could stay for good and make Baycroft Fairfield her permanent
home as she liked it so much.
Mum is now living there very happily and is supported so well by the staff. She couldn't be any better cared for. Everyone is very attentive whilst still allowing her as much independence as she can manage. Her room is very comfortable and the facilities are excellent.
As a family, we have been well supported by Baycroft Fairfield and we are always made very welcome when we visit. It is so good to know that Mum is safe and being so well cared for.
Absolutely 1st class!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Fairfield Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.817 for Fairfield Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (390 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 460 Ratings = 4.817
  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 Fairfield Manor Care Home is based on 37 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 37 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.
