The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for The Elms is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.907 for The Elms is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.907
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 The Elms is based on 22 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 22 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2020
Hi I'm Louise. I'm passionate about delivering high standards of care for the residents we look after. I've been in the care industry for 24 years starting off as a care assistant, learning from the bottom, and working my way up to become a registered manager. I'm dedicated, hard working, conscientious, and have an in-depth knowldege of care. I like to give staff the same opportunities I've had and I encourage them to progress themselves through training and take on more responsibility. We are a great team here at The Elms and we ensure everyone gets a good quality of care and enjoys themselves - I can usually tell from the laughter I hear from both staff and residents in the corridors. Unlike other homes, The Elms is really a home from home for the residents with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere - this is how we like it to be.
Job Title: Care Manager

Hi, my name is Anita and I have worked in the care sector for approximately 14 years, the last 5 of which have been here at The Elms. I am level 3 qualified and I am currently working towards my level 4 qualification. I am one of the Care Managers and I enjoy every minute of my job and still do! We are situated in a rural location with beautiful views that our residents all enjoy. We have a lovely working relationship with our residents and enjoy reminiscing about their past experiences and having a laugh. Here at The Elms I'm proud to say we provide top quality care and compassion for all of our residents and we always ensure all their needs are met.
