My mother has been a resident at this care home for two years after she became unable to live independently due to dementia. From day one my mother fell in love with the home and the staff. On my weekly visit she would wax lyrical about how happy she was, how clean the home was, how nice the food was
and how attenuative the staff were. Unfortunately over the past few months my mother's dementia has been very bad and the visits can be silent as she is unwell and confused. As a family we would like to say Thank You to every single member of the staff as the love and affection they still show towards my mother is both touching and unbelievable dedication. They ring immediately if they think we should be aware of any issue and act accordingly. Choosing a care home for any person is both a heart-wrenching and arduous task. We are so grateful as a family that we chose Alma Green as my mum could not have received a better standard of care.

This is my last and final review as my mum has passed away. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the manager and all the staff for looking after my mum over the last 10 years. Some members of staff have left within that time I would like to thank them also. They have all given such tender
love and care to my mum and my family. I wish them all the very best for the future.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the staff at Alma Green for all the love and care and support you show my mum, she has been in Alma Green seven years next month and the care she has received is amazing. The girls have not only looked after my mum but have been as
caring to us as well, would not have been able to cope without their love and support. We would not hesitate to highly recommend this home, they truly are amazing people. Keep up the amazing work girls think the world of you all. If this home was not up to the standard it is, my mum would not be in there, it truly is a fantastic care home.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.172)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.172) out of 10 for Alma Green Care Home 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 Alma Green Care Home 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 Alma Green Care 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 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.
