  • The Fairways, Chippenham
The Fairways care home overlooks a golf course and is situated close to the attractive town of Chippenham, providing modern and yet homely accommodation for 60 residential and residential dementia care residents. The extensive choice of accommodation, including single rooms, and one and two-bedded suites, ensures residents can find the perfect place to call home.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the home's landscaped gardens and nearby golf course provide lovely areas to relax and great scenery to enjoy.

The home is committed to providing alternative therapies such as reflexology and music therapy, which does much to help promote the well-being of each individual, whilst investing in technology such as interactive dementia tables. They also have a Chaplain who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs.

Whether it’s the home's vibrant activity programmes, freshly prepared meals, chaplaincy support, award-winning music therapy for those living with dementia and, of course, its high safety standards, each resident is supported to live later life well.

Review from Anne B (Friend of Resident) published on 1 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I just wanted to let you and the team know how amazing you truly are. We are having to find a care home for my Dad and there is nothing within a million miles of the care, compassion and genuinely person centred approach that MHA provides anywhere near their home.
It's funny how I had assumed that
Fairways and another home (where my father in law was cared for) were the usual. Now I realise that it is exceptional.
Keep up your wonderful work and let all the staff know that they really make all the difference.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for The Fairways 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 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.772 for The Fairways is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 114 Ratings = 4.772
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Fairways is based on 10 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. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.833
  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.
