The private rooms are a good size, adequately furnished with utility items. The en-suite is adequate. Rooms are kept clean. Public rooms are light and airy, usually clean.
Residents are treated in a respectful but friendly manner by all staff.
Many care helpers are from agencies, therefore residents
own needs are sometimes not recognised.
Some property does mysteriously disappear!

Really love this home, my dad is only in for six weeks respite and is not at all sociable but seems to be here. The staff all seem friendly and nice to all the inmates!! always seems very clean and the rooms are very nice. If dad has to stay I may want him to stay in this home one in Bognor/Chichester
is closer. Very happy with it all at Rotherlea.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Rotherlea is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.957 for Rotherlea is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 327 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 Rotherlea is based on 28 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 28 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.

Jo joined the care sector and Shaw healthcare back in June 2008.

The recent Pandemic has been a really scary time for everyone but, our main focus has been ensuring the residents are safe. The residents have kept in good spirits despite not seeing their loved ones all the time. However, they have enjoyed and at times been fascinated with modern technology such as Facetime, Skype, and Zoom.
