The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Cedarwood House Care 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.800 for Cedarwood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.8
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 Cedarwood House Care Home is based on 18 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2020
Samantha started working as a night carer at our sister home, Derwent Residential Home, in 2020. An opportunity for a deputy manager position became available at Cedarwood House in 2022; having worked within the care profession for over seven years, Samantha decided to apply with the support of her then-manager.
She was successful; she transferred to Cedarwood in April 2022, continuing to push herself and progress her career.
While working at Cedarwood, an opportunity entirely out of her comfort zone became available, and she took the plunge and applied for the Home Manager position in February 2023; having proved herself in her role as deputy manager, the opportunity to progress her career further was given to her.
Since then, Samantha has shown great dedication to the home, the residents and her team and has proven to be a fantastic manager. When asked what she loves about her work, Samantha said
"Every day, I come to work with a huge passion for caring and ensuring all our residents are looked after with the utmost respect; each day, I strive to ensure our dedicated care team delivers person-centred care to all living at Cedarwood. Every day, a difference is made by our unique, dedicated care team and our wonderful residents.
