Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is great to know that your mum and yourselves feel supported and cared for during her stays at The Elms. Across Hartford Care we work on a one team approach so it is great to hear that this is being recognised. It is also good to know that at times when you yourself need support the senior team are there to help. We will pass on your kind words to the team at The Elms.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are sorry to hear of your previous experience of care for your dad and are happy that you have found the right home for him now at The Elms. It is wonderful to hear how you can now rest assured that your dad is being well cared for and supported. We are pleased to hear that although your dad spends most of his time in his room that his room is bright, clean and comfortable and that a member of the team regularly checks on him to make sure he is happy and comfortable and his needs are being met. We will pass on these kind words to the team at The Elms who no doubt will be pleased to hear this.

Firstly, I would like to send my apologies from the senior management team at the Elms, regarding your feelings around the standards dropping within the home. I would like to reassure you that we have management in the home daily, they are always available to meet or talk via telephone. All our staff are fully trained with an extensive induction programme, once this is completed all new staff are signed off as competent. We would like the opportunity to be able to meet with you in person to go through your points raised in the review. If you can contact the home directly then we would be very happy to arrange a meeting.

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.625) out of 10 for The Elms Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.400 for The Elms Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.4
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 4.225 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Elms Nursing Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.625
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.
