Many thanks for taking the time to review our home, all feedback is welcomed and allows us to continually develop our service. Having reviewed your comments I understand that there was a full investigation conducted during the summer of 2024 in which the important points you raise here were addressed and explained in the complaint summary sent to you. I am sorry that you feel that our service has failed you and I would be happy in future to discuss any issues you may have. Your Dad is a much valued resident of the Hawthornes and continues to enjoy living at our home, including meal times and sleeping well and comfortably on the mattress which was provided by his family. Knowing the home and manager I would suggest the two recent Five Star reviews received from other members of the family are more indicative of the service and care provided to your dad.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.637) out of 10 for The Hawthornes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.637 for The Hawthornes is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.637
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 The Hawthornes is based on 24 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 24 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: Home Manager
Joined: 2020
I have over 30yrs experience in Social care with the last 17 years as a registered manager.
I achieved the Registered manager's award, NVQ level 2
I have previously held the positions of Deputy manager and Care assistant.
I am continually working to improve standards and aim to achieve a better CQC rating for our home, additionally, I aim to build on our community presence and increase our reputation and recommendations.
I have worked in care since I was 17 years old and have seen so many changes over the years but the only thing that has not changed is to believe to treat people with dignity, respect and compassion. This includes Residents, staff, families and friends, I have an open and transparent relationship with all, and my door is always open. I mentor my staff to listen to our residents so we can engage them and help give them the best.
I love to spend my spare time with my Granddaughter, I like reading, cooking and the odd shopping trip.
