The Review Score of 9.2 (9.167) out of 10 for Westacre Nursing Home 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.831 for Westacre Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.831
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 4.336 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westacre Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.636
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.

Job Title: Manager
I became the manager of Westacre in July 2020. I entered this position after working as a matron for Peartree Neuro Rehab, another home under the same ownership. I began my career in healthcare in 1997 as a carer for the NHS until working my way up to ward manager. I worked in the NHS for 34 years before joining Peartree. Most of my nursing career has been working in older person mental health with complex dementia, with a brief episode with Adolescence. In 2001 I was seconded to complete my mental health nurse training. I love my summer holidays and spending time with my dog, Sky.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
I joined Westacre in October 2020. I am the Deputy Manager and I oversee all care and nursing activities to ensure we are meeting best practice standards within the home. I have a degree in Psychology. I went on to study Nursing as I was keen to work in the care sector/NHS. I qualified in 2017 with a Post Graduate Diploma in Adult Nursing. I worked in A&E and then in a brain injury unit in Southampton. I completed my Masters's in Adult Nursing in 2020. In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, gardening and collecting art.
