Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Dad was very reluctant to have respite, although once there he soon settled in. His room was light and airy. The whole home was spotlessly clean. The gardens are very nice and pleasant to sit out in. There are different activities every day. The staff are all very caring and nothing was too much trouble.
The food looked very nice and was nicely arranged. Dad said thanks to the cook it tasted lovely.
Much to our surprise dad said he would happily go back there again.


Thank you for running such a lovely home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Aunt, who died at Forest Edge in December was a resident for five years. She had no children and I held POA for her and so I chose where she should live when it became unsafe for her to remain at home. I spent two days looking at various places, Forest Edge was the first and the one we chose.
The staff really cared for and looked after her, not always an easy task as anyone who has lived with a person suffering from dementia will realise, effort was made to engage with her and to keep her socialised and, as far as possible, happy. The atmosphere in the house was one of a house not of an institution, the management and the nursing care was very good, there was banter and conversation and never rows of residents in chairs silent in front of televisions. It was never inconvenient to talk to me or for me to see my aunt. Aunt's care and management was frankly discussed and pragmatic and compassionate decisions were made jointly. I have no hesitation in recommending forest Edge.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.618)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.618) out of 10 for Forest Edge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.618 for Forest Edge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 173 Ratings = 4.618

  • 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 Forest Edge Care Home is based on 15 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
