Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Team-Blyford, Team-Woodleigh = words are not enough in expressing our heartfelt appreciation for the care, compassion, and kindness shown during our loved one's six months, and to us as a family. We found the Home to be clean, tidy, and odour-free on each of our visits and residents appeared well-kept
and as happy as one can expect. We were kept informed of changes to our loved one’s care and treatment as circumstances developed, and at the end, the level of dignity, respect, and empathy was second to none.
Some staff said “we are only carers”. We utterly reject this statement. We could not have wanted him to be in a better place for his end of life, surrounded by not only his family but a team of wonderfully caring individuals to whom we will always remain grateful. We were assured that Blyford Care Home would meet expectation, and indeed they did. Would we recommend the Home? Yes, most definitely and without hesitation!

Reply from Marc Scott, Home Manager at Blyford Home

Many thanks for the heartwarming words, they really do make what we do worthwhile.
As a team we value all of our lovely residents, not only as people we care for but as part of our extended 'Blyford family'.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.694) out of 10 for Blyford 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.600 for Blyford Home is calculated as follows: ( (6 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 4.6

  • 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 3.094 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blyford Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.094

  • 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.
