Amazing environment. Spacious and welcoming. Staff members have all been extremely helpful, both prior to admission and then as a resident. Activities are varied and greatly enjoyed. Have not been there at mealtimes but the menus look delicious. Outside areas and gardens are looking great - looking
forward to using the outside space in warmer weather. Strong feeling of one great team working well together for the benefit of the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Chartwell House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.948 for Chartwell House is calculated as follows: ( (365 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.948

  • b) 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 Chartwell House is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Jude

Jude Coveney

Job Title: Admissions Manager

Joined: 2022

I have worked for many years in a variety of care settings, providing me with a unique insight into the emotions and complexities of delivering and receiving care, which at some stage we may all come to know first-hand. As such investing time and energy into promoting excellence in care is therefore an investment into our own futures, whilst ensuring the very best for the people we are entrusted to look after today.


So, without question, my move to join the growing team at Chartwell House and become part of Boutique Care Homes fits with my beliefs. My mantra is to try and do at least one good deed a day, and to smile at everyone, it makes it really difficult for them to do anything other than smile back at you!


We all have great plans and aspirations for Chartwell House and I for one can’t wait to open the doors to our first residents a start making magical memories.
