Review from Janet L (Wife of Resident) published on 27 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has received the very highest standard of care and comfort since arriving at Hawkinge House 14 months ago. The staff have done everything to make my husband feel safe and secure at all times.


The kindness shown to all of the residents is outstanding, there is always a hand to hold for

those who need it. A true home from home.

Review from Eleanor B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has lived in Hawkinge House for five years now and is very settled. The staff go to great lengths to keep her interested in life, for example entering one of her poems in a competition. I think the care she receives is outstanding. I like the way the staff know me too and keep me informed.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.765) out of 10 for Hawkinge House 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 9 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 4.757 for Hawkinge House is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.757
  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 4.008 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hawkinge House is based on 9 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 = 3.7
    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 146 registered maximum number of service users is 29.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.2 = 0.308
  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.
