The staff at Forget Me Not have been very supportive on my dad's transition to the home. They look after him extremely well. The home itself is very friendly and dad's room is light, bright and clean. They also support us as well as dad and I am pleased with his care.

Forget Me Not is a great place. My mum has been there for about three years. I have noticed a great change in her since being there, she laughs a lot and joins in their activities, where before she came there she did not do a lot. If my mum has any concerns they have been dealt with straight away. Her
room is lovely and bright and always clean. In the summer she gets to go on trips and she thoroughly enjoys them. I would recommend Forget Me Not.

Since arriving at Forget Me Not my dad has settled in and is very happy. The manager and all the staff are very happy to help. When I first came to look at the home the manager and deputy manager made us feel at home and very relaxed. The manager sat down and explained to the family in great detail
everything there was to know regarding finances, contracts etc. We were very new to this and found this home to be everything we were looking for and never thought we would find. Forget Me Not is not just a care home, it has now became our dads home and our second home.

The care provided by all the staff is excellent they are all so caring and do a wonderful job sometimes in very difficult circumstances. Nothing is ever too much trouble and my mum and all the residents are cared for with love and dignity. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a care

Mum is on her final days of her life, I could not be happier with the care my mum is receiving from all the staff, especially the manager who keeps me updated every day with my mum's care.
I feel happy knowing my mum is safe and well cared for.

A very caring home. My mother has been well looked after and cared for very very well, nothing is too much trouble and all the staff are very helpful and kind. My mother is a completely different and happier person since she came to Forget me not in July 2013.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.900) out of 10 for Forget me not Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.400 for Forget me not Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (29 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.4

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Forget me not Residential Home is based on 5 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • 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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2, which has been reached with 5 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
