Nightingale care home has efficient, friendly staff who are attentive to the needs of the residents. The environment is good and there are activities to enhance the lives of the residents.
The home has significantly improved the quality of life for my Mother.

What a lovely care home, all the staff are very helpful and very caring with my mother, nothing is too much for them night or day. They keep me and my father updated every day on how my mum is doing. I cannot fault them, the empathy and understanding is exceptional.

My mother has been a resident in Nightingale for 4 1/2 years now and the care she receives is outstanding. The staff and management are friendly and very approachable, nothing seems too much for them. As family members we are always encouraged to put forward our views and are always "kept in the loop"
as to what is happening within Nightingale. I feel the care my mother receives is of an excellent standard and because of this I feel at ease knowing my mother is safe and well.

My mum has been in Nightingale Care Home since November 2016. The home she was in before closed down. I am more than pleased with the care she gets. She seems content and happy. The staff and management seem happy at their work and always busy. They are always willing to answer any questions I ask regarding
mums welfare. I am very impressed with everything about Nightingale Care Home.

My mum is being looked after she is an old lady who can't remember anything and needs care even though she doesn't think she does. She doesn't want to be in a care home and we don't want her in one but there is nothing we can do she needs looking after 24.7.

My mum has been in Nightingale for about 5 and a half years. She is well settled and regards this as her home. Because of the nature of my mum's dementia she can be very difficult at times, the staff manage her very very well.

The biggest testament to the care provided is that my father is as happy and content as I have seen him in a long time. He is not the easiest resident to deal with but is managed to take into his account his current moods to make him as presentable as possible. The activities stimulate him and he loves
the entertainment and activities provided. Having consistent carers promotes confidence in him and allows tasks to be undertaken who understand his condition and mood. The home is clean and food and drink very good to such an extent that he continues to put on weight.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Nightingale 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.885 for Nightingale is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 Nightingale is based on 22 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 22 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.
