Thank you for your kind words, and we are sorry for your losses. In the time your loved ones were with us, we are pleased to know that they received the best care possible and as a family, your minds were put at rest. Anyone who has had a relative or known a person with dementia is a very hard thing to experience, but with our dedicated staff and nurses, we strive to make them as comfortable as possible during their stay with us. Again condolences to you and your family

The care is excellent, compassionate and honest - I'm thankful my mother is at St Mark's. I'm looking forward to when I can visit again, and I know I will be welcomed by all the staff too. In normal times, they enjoy having the residents' families around.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.474) out of 10 for St Mark's Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.474 for St Mark's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (106 Goods x 4) + (39 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 422 Ratings = 4.474
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 St Mark's Care Home is based on 34 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 34 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.
