My Aunt is registered partially sighted so cannot do this review.
She is 96 years old and finds walking difficult after two falls.
She also has dementia.
I was very pleased with the care.
I will be happy to bring her for respite in the future.
Thank you.

We were really pleased we chose Rievaulx House Care Centre for mum. She was happy there which made it so much easier for us. I visited every day so I know how good they were to her. From the management team and all staff. They were so kind and nothing was too much trouble for mum or us and for all of
their care, we are so grateful.

I was welcomed into the home when I arrived without an appointment. I met all the staff whom were all very friendly and caring to their wards.
There was a group of residents with a care making crispy buns and even better Cadbury chocolate!
The rooms were large and well decorated with french doors
out to a patio area. A fabulous place to 'retire' into.
A well managed and caring home.

I have only been visiting my friend for three weeks. The staff seem good, kind and helpful. The food seems to be good and varied. The home looks good and the staff cater well for everyone. The people who I have seen who live here look content.

I have lived at the home for several years. I love my bedroom. Staff are very nice people. My family come to see me a lot and the children come too. I enjoy a joke with the manager. I enjoy the singing at the home. I am free to do whatever I like.

I like it, I wouldn't come if I didn't like it. I have been six times this year for respite to give my husband a break. I have nothing to complain about the staff, rooms and food is good. I recommended the care home to my next door neighbour who also stayed at the home.

The thought of going into a home frightened mum - so when she needed respite care we went out to find a good place. Some homes are sterile and friendless environments - as we walked into Rievaulx we felt the friendliness, the feeling of homely caring. It felt like having a big warm blanket around us.
We were right!! Mum loved her respite so much she wanted to make it permanent. Now she has - she is safe, well cared for and very very happy - GREAT!!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.152)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.152) out of 10 for Rievaulx House Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.430 for Rievaulx House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 149 Ratings = 4.43

  • 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 4.722 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rievaulx House Care Centre is based on 13 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.722

  • 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.
