Review from S S (Wife of Resident) published on 21 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has dementia and went to Signature Caversham Care Home for respite care. With incredibly caring staff on hand at all times he settled in really quickly and seems very happy there. We soon decided to extend his stay. The home is beautiful inside with so much thought having gone into the design,
layout, colour schemes, furnishings and decoration. It is light, open and airy. I particularly like the ease of access to secure outside spaces. My husband thinks he is a five-star hotel! The staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble and the well-being and happiness of the residents are absolutely foremost in everything they do. There is a varying programme of activities which ensures that the residents are both entertained and stimulated all the time, at the appropriate level. I know that my husband is secure, well looked after, well fed, entertained and treated with respect and kindness and I am kept regularly updated as to his progress. A huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
Reply from Jelena Boughton, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at CavershamThank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so pleased that your husband has joined us here in Signature at Caversham. We are delighted that he is enjoying all of the activities, and we are so pleased that we have been able to help you both. We really do appreciate your lovely feedback about our team.

Review from Andrew K (Son of Resident) published on 21 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Signature at Caversham Care Home at the end of January, in their opening week. The team have all been extremely welcoming and has helped my father to quickly settle into his new home.
My father has dementia and other medical conditions that need careful management. The team at
Signature have been extremely supportive and has taken on his care with the same personal touch that was previously provided by family members. The team's expert knowledge of the medical options available and close links to community resources have enabled Signature to provide quicker responses and more detailed timely assessments and treatments.
The atmosphere in Signature is a very happy, positive space, and the staff are all very engaging. This is evident from all aspects, from management, through facilities, catering and activities to the care and nursing teams. The team keep a close link to family and works collaboratively with us to ensure my father is happy and thriving.
Reply from Jelena Boughton, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at CavershamWe are absolutely delighted that your father has joined us here at Signature at Caversham, he is a real joy to have in the home, and we really enjoy his company. Thank you for the wonderful feedback on the team here. I will certainly share this with them.

Review from Jennifer G (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really impressed by both the professionalism and the warmth of this new team. My dad was one of the first residents at the new facility and he has taken to it like a duck to water. Dad has heart failure and associated vascular dementia but is still active and engaged and he was really suffering from
a lack of activity and contact at home. He's engaging in all the activities, is well-dressed, fed and happy, and benefiting so much from the social interaction. The unexpected bonus for us was the all-around nursing care, from checking his BP daily to liaising with his GP to conducting a blood test if it is needed. We couldn't be happier with our choice.
Reply from Jelena Boughton, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at CavershamThank you so much for your review. We are so glad that your Dad has settled in so well. It is lovely to hear that he is enjoying the activities and social interaction. I will share your lovely feedback with the rest of our team.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Signature at Caversham 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 31 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 4.798 for Signature at Caversham is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 366 Ratings = 4.798
  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 Signature at Caversham 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, 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.
