Thank you for your feedback. It's really nice to read that your mum has settled in well at Cross Park House. With regards to your concerns about staff shortages - I know we had a few leave over recent months but any shortages on the rota are covered by agency staff as needed. We have been actively recruiting and now have a full compliment of our own team members again at Cross Park. There is a hydration station at Cross Park where residents, team members and visitors are encouraged to help themselves to water and soft drinks. It's difficult for us to make facilities for hot drinks available to visitors as we will always have residents who will be at risk if they have access to hot water. Our care team will always be happy to make you a hot drink upon request of course. I only have 1000 characters available in my reply so can't address all of your points. Please do arrange to speak with our care home manager if at any time you have concerns, questions or suggestions.

Thank you for taking the time to publish this feedback relating to your experience, and that of you Mum, living at our Cross Park House Care Home in Brixham, Devon. It's great to read that overall you are happy with the care that your mum is receiving. With regards to feedback, you can get that at any time. Please arrange to have a chat with the care home manager and let her know what information you would like to be kept up to date with. The homes will always call if there is a serious issue / concern but more routine day to day care events will be logged in care records but typically we would not proactively contact you. We do encourage residents to join in communal areas but, as you say, residents can choose where to spend their time. We do have a regular programme of activities which includes visits to residents who spend their time in their rooms. The home is not due to be refurbished but there is a process of ongoing maintenance. Kindest regards.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really positive (and really honest) review of your experience with our Care Team and Care Home at Cross Park House in Brixham, Devon. Thank you for highlighting the skilled work and dedication of our care team members - I've often experienced our care team members interacting with confused and perhaps upset residents and the empathy and understanding they show, and the skill with which they handle the situation, is often inspiring. It's lovely to read that your Dad is now settled and happy. Thank you again for this really kind, and really useful, feedback. Kindest regards.

Hello Linda. Thank you for this feedback. It's lovely to know that you are happy with the service provided. I note your comments with regard to the care team being overworked and underpaid. This is a very broad statement. We do not believe that our care teams are overworked. We recruit to ensure that we employ enough people to enable our care team members to work their contracted hours - and they can request more if more are available. If there are gaps on the rota we have a number of contracts with agency staff providers who can provide fully qualified and vetted cover at short notice (or planned in advance) as needed. With regards the the issue of rates of pay. We certainly try to remain competitive in this regard, ensuring that we are amongst at least the top 25% of employers in our areas (Devon and Cornwall). To be able to pay more we would need to charge more for the care provided. It's a difficult balance to achieve. Kindest regards.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this really positive and detailed review of your experience with our care team and care home at Cross Park House in Brixham. Your story is a really heart-warming one and one that we come across all too often - that being that society's perception of residential care is so different from reality. I often talk to residents (and family members) who say 'if we knew it was like this we would have come in much sooner'. It's lovely to read how settled your mum is at Cross Park and how your dad is able to spend quality time with her. We have a fantastic team at Cross Park and I know they will all do as much as they can to ensure that your mum is happy and well cared for. Thank you again for this feedback, I know that the manager and her team will really appreciate it. Kindest regards.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.453) out of 10 for Cross Park House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 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 4.453 for Cross Park House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.453
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 Cross Park House 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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6, 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.
