We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our brilliant team and the overall care provided for your mum. Knowing that you felt confident entrusting her care to us after being her sole carer for 6.5 years is truly gratifying. We take pride in our kind, helpful, and respectful staff who strive to make each resident's experience exceptional. Regarding your concerns about the lift and stairs, we want to assure you that the lift is indeed wheelchair accessible, although we acknowledge its size limitations. Additionally, due to the wooden staircase, natural creaks may occur. We'll certainly take your feedback on board and explore ways to mitigate noise levels.

Thank you for your kind words, and we appreciate your feedback.
It was a pleasure caring for your mother, and she will be missed; she enjoyed a large selection of the activities we offered and some not so much. Having such a diverse client base within the home, we look closely at the activities and try to make them inclusive of everyone and something everyone will enjoy.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for South Cary House 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.857 for South Cary House is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.857
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 South Cary House is based on 16 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 16 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.
