Thank you for your kind review. Your relative is a pleasure to have been with, and we are glad to have her at Sands. As a family, your regular visits, involvement in the care and support are equally valuable. Many thanks

Thank you, Irene, for your positive review. As you mentioned, your brother was a wonderful person who was loved by all at the Sands Lodge family. His jokes and the scrabble will always be missed.

Thank you for your lovely, honest review, which will help us to improve the quality of care we provide to our service users. We are delighted to hear that he felt Sands Lodge as his home, and you felt us, a family. We were glad to have him here for 20-years, and he will be deeply missed by all of us even though we will still be visiting him at the home where he is now. Thank you for working with us, and we believe together, we can make Sands Lodge a more better home for our clients.

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.014) out of 10 for Sands Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.333 for Sands Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (7 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 21 Ratings = 4.333
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 3.681 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sands Lodge is based on 2 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 = 3.125
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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.6 = 0.556
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.
