Thank you for your review, I am sorry you haven't seen activities when you have visited however I want to reassure you that we have a daily schedule that takes place throughout the week and on some weekends to celebrate certain festivities. Your mother is encouraged to take part in the activities however on occasions can refuse to join in which is down to her personal choice but she did come 3rd place in our recent St David's card making competition and had 1st prize in pancake tossing on Pancake day. Our monthly newsletters are sent out to families which captures some of the activities and events taken place that month. We are always grateful for feedback to improve our service and your feedback will be shared with the activities team.

Thank you for reviewing our home. It's always sad when a resident goes into hospital but is great when they return home. I am so pleased Mam had a warm welcome and that she was happy to be home. We missed her.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for The Rookery Care 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.859 for The Rookery Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (446 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 509 Ratings = 4.859
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 Rookery Care Home is based on 43 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 43 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.
