I am happy with the care. The only thing that I am unhappy about is that when my family member is sick they don't let me know straight away.

The staff are very helpful and attentive, always willing to support my dad. The home is very clean and well maintained. During the first few months, my dad struggled to settle in but the staff have done the best they can to make him comfortable, which we have noticed as a big improvement to when he
first arrived at the care home. We are now content with the care being provided for my dad and are happy with our choice in choosing this care home.

The staff are very pleasant and helpful. Our relative appears to be happy and well cared for although she needs to see the hairdresser. Despite the Covid restrictions operations are running smoothly and we are being informed of visiting times. Unable to comment on activities and food as I have not witnessed
these.

Home very caring, have been very strict with Covid rules to keep everyone safe. Can be a little difficult to see our loved ones at short notice, but hopefully now restrictions are lifted we will be able to visit more often again.

My main concern is the difficulty in booking to see my family member. Plenty of lovely staff members. Some more visibility of the activities might be a good addition to the programme.

Some staff are fantastic, some not so hands-on. It's a nice home if you have mental health problems or severe disabilities. But my dad is well and just has mobility problems and would've liked the company of the residents. Unfortunately, most have mental disabilities so he's unable to make friends.
But overall, good, unfortunately, due to covid, not much is going on so can't comment further.

Current Review Score: 6.4 (6.420)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.4 (6.420) out of 10 for Waterside is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 3.318 for Waterside is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 22 Ratings = 3.318

  • 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 3.102 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Waterside 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:

    • 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 = 3

    • 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.102

  • 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.
