Review from Finn D (Son of Resident) published on 17 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very homely care home with professional staff who really do care and go the extra mile. They are kind and caring and nothing seems too much for them to do so I am pleased that my mother is in such a lovely place, to quote her words "I feel happy and safe here". As soon as you walk into The Mayfields
Care Home you feel a sense of belonging.

All staff without exception were extremely helpful, friendly and efficient. Mayfields really was a home from home, the food was excellent and copious. Nothing was too much trouble for the caring and catering staff.

Review from Peter H (Husband of Resident) published on 19 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care provided by The Mayfield Care Home is excellent. The care of my wife is excellent, I cannot fault it in any way. It is because the care is of such a high standard, that I am able to take short breaks without any worries regarding the way she is being cared for. The staff are very professional
and treat my wife with compassion, dignity and understanding.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for The Mayfields Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 5.000 for The Mayfields Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 5
  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 The Mayfields Care Home is based on 14 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.
