We are sorry that the complainant felt the need to write such a review. We have worked tirelessly with herself and her partner, who was the resident at the home, to facilitate, what was a respite care stay, asked for at very short notice. We accepted the lady's written complaint on leaving the home and responded accordingly. We recognise that everyone has a right to state how they found the care home, however we did try to facilitate the gentleman's stay to the best of our ability and have already written back to this lady with our thoughts and apologies. The home has been recently refurbished and has a team of maintenance personnel on site with an on-going maintenance programme. We can only say that no other review has ever been so critical.

Thank you for the lovely review. We appreciate that the last year has been extremely difficult for our relatives wondering if their loved one is being cared for and is happy. The visiting restrictions have been hard on us all. We are pleased that your relative has been shown the kindness and patience that she deserves whilst being in our care and of course we have let the named carer know. We look forward to welcoming our families back as further restrictions are reduced and getting back to some sort of normality that our residents deserve.

Thank you for your review. The staff appreciate your generous feedback in knowing that what they are doing is recognised by families and how much you trust us with your loved ones and it is lovely to hear that mum is happy and settled. It is a pleasure to be a part of this team, especially during these unprecedented times. We apologise for the Wi-Fi situation and we will hopefully get this resolved as quickly as possible so that mum can start to enjoy her life fully in the home. Kind regards

We are sorry that the person that wrote this review feels this way about the care his mother received. We do provide care to people with dementia but sometimes the needs of a person with any type of dementia can alter quickly and without warning. We do involve other professionals when this happens as was the case here. We have to consider whether or not we can meet the specialist needs that can arise from some advanced dementias. We do our best to do so but where behaviours require specialist care we recognise that these needs can be better provided for in a more specialist unit that caters mainly for people with similar conditions as we also have to consider the impact that one person’s specific behaviour can have on other residents as we have a duty of care to all in our home. We do recognise that any decision such as this is always a difficult and emotive one for all parties but we do feel that we did all we could to facilitate the resident whist she was in our care in all areas including treating her with dignity, inviting her to join in the daily activities and we personally feel that our facilities and management are in good order as can be evidenced by others written comments.

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.124) out of 10 for Puddavine Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 4.305 for Puddavine Court is calculated as follows: ( (38 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.305
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 3.819 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Puddavine Court is based on 4 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 = 3.375
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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.444
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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2021
For the last 25 years I've been a Registered Care Manager, 14 of which, with the Devon Care Group. I have worked at 4 DCG homes, ranging from a small 24 bedded home a nursing home and now to one of the bigger homes with 45 beds. I have gained a lot of experience over this time and understand the importance of having a caring and strong team. I like to work with young carers to bring the future managers through so good care continues and to show how rewarding the job is. I've always been passionate about people being cared for in a way that brings out the best in them.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2022
I am currently returning to my role as Deputy Manager at Puddavine court, as I have been off on maternity leave since March 2024. I have been working as Deputy Manager at Puddavine for the last 2 years. I am 29 years young and have over 10 years of experience working within the residential care setting. I actually started my career as a carer within Devon Care Group all those years ago and I haven’t looked back since! I have always had a passion for caring and making a positive difference in people’s lives.
Job Title: Deputy Manager / Senior HCA
Joined: 2020
I have been a Senior carer for a few years now. I love running my shift to the best of my capabilities, but it is made all that much easier with the good team of carers we have. There are many aspects to our roles, but Palliative Care is something that I am passionate about and feel that it is a real privilege to care for someone at this time of their lives. It is lovely to be able to pass down knowledge gained along my way to the team that share this interest also. Away from work I am kept busy with my pets and family members, I like to relax with a good book or gardening weather permitting!
