The staff were very helpful and caring. Very clean environment. The physio was excellent and managed to get my husband back on his feet after he had been in hospital. He is suffering from Parkinsons and all staff handled things very well. It was the first time he has been in a care facility and he realised
that he wasn't fit enough to come home but the time he was in Wilfred Geere was a positive experience and we cannot recommend it too highly.

This is my mum's 3rd stay at Wilfred Geere, and the staff are always highly attentive and caring. The rooms are well set up with a comfy hospital bed and a lovely leather padded armchair. Your own dressing table, wardrobe, and wash sink, plus that all-important digital TV with good volume (or headphone
socket if better) and easy-to-use remote control. The food is great and plentiful, and you can have something to eat in between meals if you are hungry and tea or coffee by the bucket load.
It's very clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended.

My Dad went for his first visit for a week's respite, the staff are all lovely and very friendly and welcomed my Dad as soon as he arrived offering a coffee. This can be quite an emotional time for a family leaving a loved one, but they made it a smooth handover. When Dad returned home a week later
he was really well, clean and looked refreshed, with a big smile on his face and settled into being back home very well.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff for their care of my Dad and would have no hesitation in sending Dad again when needed.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.967) out of 10 for Wilfred Geere House 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 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 4.800 for Wilfred Geere House is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 4.8

  • 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 3.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wilfred Geere House 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.167

  • 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.
