This ensures the difference between the local authority’s funding and our standard fees is covered, allowing us to maintain our high standards of care and service.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for recognising the dedication of our team. It's truly heart-warming to hear that your mother is happy, settled, and receiving the care and support she deserves. Ensuring our residents are engaged and stimulated through our robust activity schedule is something we take great pride in. We understand your concerns regarding the third-party top-up fees. As a predominantly private care home, we strive to maintain the highest standards of care, ensuring our residents enjoy a comfortable, safe, and enriching environment. Unfortunately, due to the current challenges in social care funding, there remains a significant shortfall in the contributions we receive. The top-up fees help us bridge this gap, allowing us to retain our dedicated, experienced staff and continue offering the quality of care that our residents and families expect and deserve. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to discuss this matter in more detail. Thank you.

Thank you for your review, I will pass your kind comments on to our dedicated care team. I am sorry that your experience has not been a positive one and decisions regarding safe transfers back to the home are always done in the best interest of the residents and staff team.I apologise you do feel that the communication with management was not adequate, whilst you were on holiday, I can assure you that information and outcomes regarding your loved one was discussed with the relevant professionals, the hospital team, social worker and with granddaughter in your absence. We do hope that you are successful in securing a future placement and everything works out well for your mother and you. Thank you for taking the time to complete the review, we take all comments both positive and negative as a learning opportunity and appreciate your opinions. Kindest regards

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Norley Hall Care Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.758 for Norley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.758
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 Norley Hall Care Home is based on 13 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 13 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: Manager
Joined: 2018
I have been in the health and social care sector for over 30 years now, starting out as a young care assistant at just the age of 19.
It was while working with dementia residents, especially that I found my calling and knew that this was what I wanted to do.
From assistant cook to carer to senior, I worked as a theatre assistant in the hospital environment also, working my way up to home manager almost 8 years ago.
I have achieved all NVQs in health and social care from 2 to 4 and up to a Diploma level 5 in Leadership and Management.
I am a very interactive manager and love nothing better than to sit and chat with each of the residents that we care for at Norley Hall. My aim is that each and every one of them feels like part of our family.
I am cheerful and positive and lead by example, to deliver the highest standard of care possible.
I believe that quality activities and interactions are as important as eating, drinking and sleeping. If we get this right then we can be sure that our residents will have the quality of life that they expect.
Kindness is contagious……. let’s share the kindness bug.
