We take resident feedback very seriously and we have looked into the areas you have mentioned. We can advise that your call bell is usually next to you you in bed or by your chair, you are mobile and able to reach your call bell. Call bells can only be turned off from the resident’s bedroom once responded to by staff.
We have provided you with daily meals of your choice to accommodate your specific food preferences, management have witnessed your requests being fulfilled by the kitchen. If we have not been able to meet your request, you have been asked to choose a replacement meal.
You have declined to mention the support provided by staff such as taking packages to the Post Office and picking up shopping for you. Your use of language to staff has been unkind at times but despite this staff have tried to support you as best as possible with dignity and respect.
You were offered another placement by your social worker which you declined.

We really appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. With regards to the staff members badges, they have been issued with these and we do remind them to wear these regularly. Following your feedback, we will also endeavour to provide agency staff members with badges on their shifts. Your comments will be passed onto the kitchen regarding the food, residents are more than welcome to change any options or request additional/replacement items. We do also have fruit, snacks and drinks available in the lounges for residents to help themselves to. We are pleased that you found the staff kind and friendly, they would have been more than happy to help with any issues that may have arisen during your stay. We do hope on your next respite stay with us, that you do let us know how we can make your stay more comfortable. As always, Dawn, George and Myself are happy to help with supporting your stay. I will be in touch with you directly to discuss your feedback.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.531) out of 10 for The Knolls Care Centre 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 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 4.638 for The Knolls Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.638
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 4.893 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Knolls Care Centre is based on 10 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.893
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.
