Dear Mark, thank you for your supportive words about our service, I am glad to hear that the move has had a positive impact on your mum (and the family), we understand it can be very stressful caring for the person living with dementia and hope that now you are able to enjoy more quality time together without the stress. Thank you for your support, we will be glad to share your feedback with the team. Many thanks.

Your mother-in-law was an absolute pleasure to care for, we were so glad we could accommodate her in the emergency situation and we were so pleased to see how quickly she embraced her surroundings and regained her strength and confidence.
It is always something we are so proud of when someone feels well enough to go back to independent living after respite care with us and we look forward to her joining us whenever she is free for our ongoing social activities.

Dear Jane,
Thank you so much for your kind review. Your aunt was a wonderful lady and we enjoyed caring for her. I am so thankful of your appreciation of the staff and manager during the pandemic: there were lots of difficult decisions to make to navigate and avoid the infection and I am so proud of my team for all that they sacrificed to achieve this. I am so grateful for the longevity of all the staff who work with us and as you say, this is a testament to the manager and her deputy (our new manager). Thank you for your continued support.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Greys Residential Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.806 for Greys Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.806
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 Greys Residential Home is based on 17 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
