My Mother-in-law was a resident for three and a half years at Godolphin Care Home, she was treated with care and respect. She enjoyed all the different activities they held every week. Her relatives were always welcomed and offered refreshments when visiting. Sadly she passed away and the staff showed
such tender loving care for the last four weeks of her life, we are extremely grateful to the staff, when we couldn't be there, we knew she was being cared for and we didn't have to worry.

My dad came in earlier this year and has really settled in. The staff are excellent and really make his stay comfortable. It's hard to see him in a home but Godolphin House Care Home is a lovely place.

My mother has been a resident at Godolphin House since September 2015 and the level of care she has received throughout this time has been excellent.


All the staff are kind, considerate, helpful and attentive, and there are always activities that keep the general atmosphere bright and cheerful.


I

would like to see more attention given to mother's difficulty with eating, as since she has limited use of her left hand to cut up food and finds it hard to chew certain things, her meals often go un-eaten. Being almost 100, she doesn't have a great appetite and has always been 'fussy' about what she eats, so I do appreciate she is not an easy case. Summing up, I am delighted to have secured a place for her at Godolphin House.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.354)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.354) out of 10 for Godolphin House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.654 for Godolphin House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.654

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Godolphin House Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 7 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.
