You are like family to us and whilst we cant replace you for Mum, we try our best each day to give her warmth, love and care until you can hold her in your arms again.

It is very comforting to know that we are meeting your wife's needs as well as both your expectations. I know it was an extremely difficult decision to make when you came to see us. You will always be welcome to spend as much time with your wife as you want to. The pair of you come as a package and we are very happy that you take in those spectacular sea views together.

Thank you so much for all your kindness and support. Your Mother is cherished by us all and its lovely to hear how much you value the team. We are very lucky to have such supportive families and it breaks our hearts during this heinous pandemic that we have to separate you from each other. Rest assured we will endeavour to keep her safe and well until we all meet again. What a party we are going to have. I get excited just thinking about having you all back with us again.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We very much miss you and your mother. The home is not the same without you both. It pleases me greatly that you were content with Mum's care. The team take great pride in the quality of the service they deliver and I will make sure they all know how appreciative you are of them. I cannot disagree in any way with your parking critique. It is the only negative aspect of the care centre but with the super golf buggies we own to zip people up and down the hill, it does make it slightly easier for those who need a bit of help reaching our front door.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. My team enjoyed every aspect of caring for your husband and we would welcome him back any time you may need our help. I agree with you that our only negative is the parking situation but hopefully, the care your husband received supersedes the frustrations of our parking situation. Please give our best wishes to your husband and tell him the team miss him dearly.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.805 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (356 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 410 Ratings = 4.805
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 Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on 33 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 33 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.
