Hi Grahame, I am so happy that you felt supported and guided through this difficult experience. It is quite hard to navigate social care at times.

Thank you for your kind feedback. Caring for our residents when they are poorly or at end of life is just as important as caring for them when they are well. Death involves the resident's family, therefore, we will always support them during this sad time.

Thank you, Emma. I am so glad your family are happy with the service we give. Yes, we don't always get it right, but we do respond quickly to put things in place and correct a concern as you will know, our residents are the most important people in The Knights and we try our utmost to get them to live their best life. So the feedback shows me, as the manager, that we are making a difference to both the residents and their families.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for The Knights Retirement Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.872 for The Knights Retirement Home is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.872
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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Knights Retirement Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 8 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.
