Wolfeton Manor has several apartments as well as en-suite rooms. My mother is fortunate to have one of the apartments which is adjacent to the main residence so she can maintain her independence but also benefit from all the services that Wolfeton Manor provides. She also has a small garden which gives
her pleasure to maintain and is able to sit in her living room and watch her beloved birds. Even though she is not in the main house she has a life alert system so we have the peace of mind to know that she will be cared for in an emergency. The day to day care is what you would expect - they manage my mothers medication and make sure she gets to her appointments on time and her apartment is cleaned twice a week. But what I have found is that on the few occasions when Mum has needed extra care they have excelled - they have transferred her to the main house and given her 24 hour care and notified us immediately of any issues. We are very grateful since we live so far away.

My experience with Wolfeton Manor has been totally positive since I brought my mother along in December 2011. The staff made her feel under no pressure when she was making one of the hardest decisions of her lifetime - to leave her home. They have been great keeping myself and my sisters informed whenever
their was something we should know and have always welcomed us when we have visited our mother. I think Wolfeton sets a standard by which other care homes should be judged!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Wolfeton Manor 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.822 for Wolfeton Manor is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.822

  • 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 Wolfeton Manor is based on 14 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
