Dear S, Thank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with us! We're absolutely delighted to hear how much your mum has been enjoying her time at The Dell Care Home, especially during the festive season. December is always a special time here, and we're so pleased that the activities and entertainment brought joy and merriment to both residents and visitors alike and how wonderful that you joined in with singing and dancing too! It's heartwarming to know your mum was so happy on Christmas Day, and we're thrilled that our carers have made both you and your mum feel welcomed and respected during your visits. A warm coffee and a friendly smile are the least we can offer to make your time with us as comfortable as possible. Thank you again for your kind words and for highlighting the positive atmosphere here at The Dell Care Home. If there's ever anything more we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know!

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for The Dell 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.785 for The Dell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.785
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 The Dell Care Home is based on 11 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 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.
