Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the moment we walked in to take a look at Drake Court, we knew it was perfect for Dad and how right we were! Dad is quite the character, and after a bout of worsening health, we worked with social services to work on placement for him. After a very bad experience at another home, we were very nervous
about finding somewhere that would suit us. And along came one member of staff and the wonderful team at Drake Court. They feel genuinely like a second family. Everyone is so warm and friendly and we've also taken to many of the residents! Going to visit him is a real pleasure; he's kept warm, and safe, he's well fed and clean - and they have good banter and activities for everyone to get involved in. Honestly the team there are such a credit to her - without doubt, best decision we ever made. They've made the transition for us so easy and they genuinely care - I'm so glad Dad has his forever home at Drake Court. Thanks all, we love you all very much for what you do for us.

My dad spent his final six weeks at Drake Court following a long period of dementia. The manager and all the staff treated my dad with kindness, care and utter respect. The staff always engaged with him and other residents and showed respect and a high level of professionalism the whole time the family
visited, including his final days when we were there 24 hours a day. After 2 days he settled in the home and his general condition pleased us all. He struggled at another home and at hospital but his time at Drake Court was finally at peace

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.172)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.172) out of 10 for Drake Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Drake Court is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.172 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Drake Court is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.8 = 0.172

  • 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.
