Review from P A (Resident) published on 15 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was booked in here before I had even seen the place. My daughter said I would love it here and she was right. It's a lovely atmosphere of comfort and even luxury was there from the start. Nothing is too much trouble and all the staff are very helpful and cheerful, you get the impression they really
enjoy working here and helping a lot of old biddies! I love it here and would be happy to die here - but not yet!

Review from M W (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing care for a loved one, in our case for my mother, is a very difficult journey at the best of times. However, I knew the moment I visited the Moat House in Great Easton, we would be happy for my mother to move here. Every member of staff without exception has made the transition as easy as possible
from the initial enquiry to the day-to-day kindness and friendliness shown by carers and support staff. There is flexibility wherever it is needed and there is no doubt that my mother's needs are prioritised. I was initially concerned that a new facility wouldn't host many activities to stimulate my mother who has Dementia. However, the close-knit 'Moat House' community provides an informal, engaging family atmosphere and I can already see a positive change in her demeanour. My mother has also had a few medical hiccups and the response to these needs has been immediate. I honestly could not have asked for a better welcome for my mother. Thank you to all the Moat House team.

Review from A G (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was the first resident at Moat House. She was extremely reluctant to become a resident, albeit for three weeks respite, and she had been living completely independently and found the transition hard. All the staff were aware of this and respected her desire for privacy and to retain as much
independence as possible. She was so reassured by the excellent care given by all the staff following a couple of minor medical procedures, she decided to stay an extra week, maybe longer! From when I first made enquiries all the staff have been professional and understanding. The building is beautifully appointed, and the hospitality and food are excellent. I cannot emphasise how friendly, courteous, professional and caring the staff are, and I would recommend Moat House to anyone seeking care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Moat House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 23 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 4.881 for Moat House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 268 Ratings = 4.881
  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 Moat House Care Home is based on 23 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
