Review from A D (Son of Resident) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has been at Colchester Road for 5 months. He has settled in extremely well and is enjoying his time there. He was very reluctant to leave home but since walking in the door he has consistently told me how lucky he feels to be living there. This is down to the excellent staff and management who
have made him feel very welcome and looked after throughout his time there. The small nature of the home suits him. Staff and residents know him well and are familiar to him. Dad is quite active and independent despite his dementia. The home has been able to accommodate this by accompanying him on regular short walks which he very much enjoys. I have every confidence in the ability of the home look after him, manage his health and well-being and support him with enjoyable activities and companionship. He also really enjoys the food. The home are flexible in providing meals and snacks to suit tastes and preferred times of day.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.167) out of 10 for Colchester Road Residential 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 1 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 4.750 for Colchester Road Residential is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75
  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 3.417 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Colchester Road Residential is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 12 registered maximum number of service users is 2.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 2.4 = 0.417
  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.
