Foundation House is a centre of excellence run by well trained dedicated staff.
There is a really happy atmosphere and the residents go out to music, hydro and days out on a regular basis.
It is very clean and accessible to the town centre.
It is a really wonderful home and my family feels so happy
that my son is safe and happy there.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has lived at Foundation House for 9 years. The staff have made it possible for him to have a quality of life I am certain he would not receive anywhere else. They are kind, caring and respectful. He is able to be as independent as is possible. He has a pleasant airy en-suite room. Foundation
House have provided him with numerous experiences and he receives excellent therapy at National Star Foundation. It is the most important thing in the world to me that my son is as happy as he possibly can be considering his numerous disabilities. I am very grateful that he is able to live at Foundation House.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.697)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.697) out of 10 for Foundation House 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 2 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 4.739 for Foundation House is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.739

  • 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 3.958 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foundation House is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 12 registered maximum number of service users is 2.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 2.4 = 0.833

  • 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.
