My and Mum's experience has been one of kindness, understanding, listening, and really going all they can to respect my mum's personality. I know that all aspects of my mum's care are carried out with the utmost dignity, and she is always laughing or moaning, and that's my mum.

My aunt went to Sylvan House after I found she could not cope at home on her own. She loves being there, and the staff keep me updated on how she is doing. I live over an hour away and work full-time, so it's hard to see my aunt often, but I never worry about her, as the staff are amazing, and when
I do see her, she looks great and very happy.

I am very happy here now but there was a time when I was unhappy due to a member of staff but this issue has been resolved and management let them go.
I find it hard to sleep as my bed is uncomfortable.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.795) out of 10 for Sylvan House EMI Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 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 4.545 for Sylvan House EMI Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (6 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.545

  • 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 3.25 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sylvan House EMI Residential Home 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4 = 0.25

  • 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.
