Review from Carol S (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Liberty House after an unhappy period in hospital and respite. Dad has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. He has settled in very well, is calm and today said he was content. He enjoys the care and his meals, always two choices at least. His room is so clean and spacious with an
ensuite bathroom. All staff are so kind, friendly, polite and courteous with both Dad and me. We've had window, pod and now indoor visits. I've been very grateful for regular updates and can't recommend Liberty House highly enough.

Review from John W (Son of Resident) published on 11 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved my relative to this care home because we were not satisfied with the care they were receiving at a previous home. We were given a limited tour of the home and were very impressed with the staff and the dedicated care and attitude of all. The home facilities were first class and the atmosphere
very positive.
We were informed about all the procedures and control measures that would be put into place in order to care for our relative, which gave us the positive reassurance and confidence that they would be cared for properly.
Even during the present difficult times, communication between the home and ourselves has been first class, and we have kept well informed of our relative's needs and well being. During these present COVID times, it’s even more important to relatives to know and have confidence that their loved ones are being cared for professionally with dignity and by people who show a proactive approach to care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been in Liberty House since October and I am so relieved how happy he is there. He loves the staff and has made new friends - something I had hoped for as he was very isolated before in his own home. There are always things going on and I know he is safe there. The staff are very good
at keeping me updated and I can tell they genuinely care for him. It was a difficult decision for me to put my Father into a care home and although I miss spending quality time with him I know it was the right decision for him.

My mum has been in this care home since September of this year and she is happy and settled and likes the care home. She has made friends, is very happy with the food and she really likes her generous size ensuite bedroom. All the staff are really lovely, friendly, welcoming and very professional. Excellent
care and home.

My relative has been here since Liberty House opened. It is a fantastic place. The staff are wonderful and they go the extra mile for all the residents. The knowledge that my relative is happy and safe in his surroundings and with the people there means more to me than words can say.
Well done Liberty
House, you tick all my boxes. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.420)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.420) out of 10 for Liberty House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.420 for Liberty House is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.42
  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 Liberty House is based on 20 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
