Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook. We are delighted that your mother has settled so well into life at Kenbrook and it’s hard to believe that she has been with us a year now. Now that the travel restrictions are less, it will be much easier for you the next time you come to the UK to see your mother and we look forward to welcoming you back to Kenbrook. Thank you again for your review.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review of Kenbrook. Your aunt is a lovely lady and indeed a big part of our Kenbrook community. Your aunt settled so well with us from day one and is so easy to please as long as she has a cup of tea! Your family bring much warmth to the home on their visits and have been very generous in gifting chocolates and hand cream throughout this difficult period. We are delighted that your father is doing well and look forward to seeing you visit Kenbrook soon. Thank you again for your excellent feedback, we shall share your comments with the team.

Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook. Your Mother really did enjoy her special day and it was lovely that she was able to have her little garden party for her birthday! We encourage family gatherings for birthdays and it has been such a shame that the pandemic has made this very difficult for everyone. It was lovely to see your Mother enjoying her birthday with her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren around her. We are so pleased that a lovely afternoon was had by all. We shall pass your kind words on to all the team and thank you once again for leaving a lovely review of our service.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Kenbrook. Your mother was such a lovely lady and brought many joyful moments to the home. She loved to make other residents happy and sing songs to them, she loved to assist the staff in caring for others, such a kind and thoughtful lady. She is sadly missed from the home and it was a pleasure to have been able to care for your mother and to have been able to support your family in the time your mother was at Kenbrook. I shall pass your kind comments on to the team at Kenbrook and thank you once again for taking the time to post your review.

Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook and our service and for your nice comments. Your father has been teaching the staff Portuguese and credits them with top marks as his pupils! His lessons have become equally as important as his care and help us all communicate with him. Thank you again for your review.

Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook. It was a pleasure to get to know your Mother and all of you as a family. Your Mother was very happy at Kenbrook and loved being pampered in the salon, having her hair and nails done. She thoroughly enjoyed the music therapy sessions and afternoon sing-a-longs. We hope your Mother is well and happy in her new home. We thank you for your kind words and shall share your comments with the team.

Thank you for taking the time to review Kenbrook and for recommending our service. It is such a difficult time for families who have a loved one transferred to a nursing/care home during this time, as under normal circumstances you could visit as often as you wish. We thank you for your kind words which we will share with the team and we offer condolences to your family from all at Kenbrook. It is comforting to know that your father enjoyed his short time with us, in particular, he enjoyed the music therapy sessions. We are so glad that you had the opportunity of seeing this on our social media page. Thank you once again for taking the time to review Kenbrook.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our service. I know it is still early days for your father in his residence at Kenbrook, but he has settled so well and participates in all the daily activities. Your father appears very content and happy and we look forward to his smile every day when we see him in the lounge enjoying the music sessions. We are so happy he has settled so quickly and thank you for stating that you find our staff so helpful as the Kenbrook Team take pride in always going the extra mile and do their utmost to ensure our residents feel at home and that families feel it is a home from home experience each time they call. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your review.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Kenbrook is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.829 for Kenbrook is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 170 Ratings = 4.829
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 Kenbrook is based on 15 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
