Thank you so much for your very kind words. I think we each have at least two of Mum's stories or quotes that we thoroughly enjoyed hearing and will not forget some real cherished memories. We were so pleased to have known Mum, and to have been able to support Mum, and you all during that difficult time, it meant a great deal to us all. Your kind words mean a lot to us, thank you.

Thank you so much for your lovely kind comments, it has been so lovely watching dad settle in with us so smoothly and from day one too. He fully engages with all the staff, residents and participates in all of the activities, in particular the mobility and mindfulness sessions, this activity is a big hit. I agree about the cake treats, I saw this myself yesterday as dad was passing by the tea trolley. Dad has settled in so well, we all thoroughly enjoy seeing him.

Thank you so much for your very kind words, it means so much to us that our company values are reflected in everything that we do. We understand the transition into a care home after living in your own home for so many years is an exceptionally difficult one, we were so thrilled Dad decided to share that journey with us here at Sussex Grange. It has already been such a wonderful six months filled with heartfelt memories. We see all resident's families as an extension of our Sussex Grange family, we thoroughly enjoy hosting events and celebrating life's big events with you all, and we are truly very thankful. We look forward to celebrating again soon! Thank you

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Sussex Grange Residential 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.818 for Sussex Grange Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.818
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 Sussex Grange Residential Care Home is based on 13 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 13 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.
