Mum is here for an initial 6 weeks respite care with a view to it being permanent. So far everything is going well due mainly to the staff being caring, offering excellent support and words of encouragement. Overall an excellent care home in all respects.

My sister asked me to visit her friend in this care home. I met very friendly staff, my friend said there are plenty of activities every day and very good entertainment. We sat in the garden and enjoyed the sun with a cup of tea. My friend looks happy there.

What a wonderful experience visiting my nan at The Corner House was.
Staff were so welcoming and decor is warm and welcoming.
Nan was busy arranging flowers when I arrived and said there is always plenty to do.
I look forward to attending the bazaar.

I arrived at Corner House having broken my leg in three places below the knee at aged 93 years. My leg was in a cast and I had spent several weeks in hospital, then sent home with a care package in place which was not successful.
I became very tired and low in mood. When I was in Corner House I felt
genuinely cared for, encouraged to have physio and received nothing but the best care at all times.
I am sorry to leave.

What a lovely home Corner House is to visit.
I have been going to Corner House for a long time and have seen throughout that time hard work and dedication from the staff!
The residents are put first and the home is like a little community of its own.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a
home for their relatives or friends.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for The Corner House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.815 for The Corner House is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 319 Ratings = 4.815

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Corner House is based on 27 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
