Visiting

Visitors are welcome to visit at any time of the day or evening. Penny Pot asks that visitors sign in, upon arrival, and sign out when leaving. This is for fire safety reasons.

Visitors may be asked to provide ID, if a healthcare professional or an individual not met before.

Visitors are allowed to bring in dogs for their relative, and encourage visitors to bring children along with them i.e. if relatives have grandchildren etc.

Parking

There is parking available outside the home, however, there is a time limit. There are parking facilities around town and along the seafront and adjoining roads.

Should visitors know in advance that they will be spending a long period of time at the home, then arrangements may be made (where possible) for them to use the homes' forecourt.

Overall Experience

I visit my aunty at this care home as, and when i am able to get there. She seems to have settled in very well, and seems happy enough. The staff are always very welcoming, when i come along, and they seem 7to take very great care of my lovely aunty, and treat her, with what seems like the greatest

compassion, and dignity. They celebrated her birthday, with her, just as they do with other residents there too. She was even treated to an outing at the new recently opened cat cafe nearby, which she apparently really did enjoy, as she has always been such a cat lover over the years. Thank you so much to all the staff there. It appears you all do such an amazing job.

Overall Experience

My mum was admitted for 6 week assessment. She has been welcomed by all staff and residents at Penny Pots care home.
The staff have been very kind and supportive of her needs. I can clearly see how she has improved with her mental state and as a family we can now relax knowing she is well looked after.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.124) out of 10 for Penny Pot Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 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:

5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.966 for Penny Pot Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.966
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 4.158 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Penny Pot Care 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:
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 = 3.5
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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.658
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.
