I think Weavers care home in Cookstown is bright, airy, clean, good food, and staff are very professional. They make their job look easy (which it's not) therefore creating a very related atmosphere. My mother is very well cared for.

Review from Thomas A (Brother of Resident) published on 14 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I walk through the door of Weavers House it is such a different experience to any other care home I have been in. It smells good, fresh and clean (no urine smell). There is music playing in the background, all the residents are given the best possible care and attention. Residents are encouraged
to join in activities daily. My brother and I attended the Easter party where there was music, making of Easter bonnets and a raffle. Food and refreshments were also general. The staff are all very caring, attentive, polite and are good listeners to all residents needs on floor two. Especially two members of staff who are exceptional in all aspects.

Review from Harry J (Husband of Resident) published on 5 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife is extremely lucky to have been placed in Weavers. The care and attention she receives is second to none. All of the staff are very attentive, patient, understanding in their day to day work.
They provide a professional service in a very friendly, open and transparent way. They have time to
listen (in their busy standard). Any queries regarding clothing/health/continence are fully addressed. Their communication skills are very good. It is a very busy unit, but the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.763)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.763) out of 10 for Weavers 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.763 for Weavers House is calculated as follows: ( (321 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.763
  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 Weavers House is based on 28 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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
