Reply from Louise Vickers, Home Manager at Elvy Court Care Home
Thank you, both for your review and for trusting us with the care of your mother, I will pass your kind words on to our care team.
Although we are fully staffed at Elvy Court we do occasionally need to supplement our own care team with agency staff to ensure safe staffing levels for those in our care. On these occasions, we allocate the agency member to work alongside one of our own, more experienced members of staff. The care standards on the floors are reviewed daily by the nurses and senior care team and discussed daily with the management team in our morning briefings. If you would like to know more about this please pop in to see me on your next visit, we look forward to seeing you soon. Kind regards, Louise.

The only failing I find is the parking, after travelling for two hours it is frustrating to then have to find somewhere else

I've met many staff at Elvy Court from management, nurses, care staff, cleaners, front of house, kitchen staff and I have been very impressed by the service, attentiveness and willingness to help. You can speak to any member of staff, and they will personally know Dad, his habits and his needs, which is impressive as he is not treated as a resident number there. They've been transparent, open to suggestions, answer all my questions, however, most importantly, go above and beyond care expectations, where others in the industry will do the bare minimum.
Thank you all at Elvy.

Thank you for reviewing Elvy Court Care Home. We recognise that moving into a care home can be overwhelming for some, and therefore, our staff are always on hand to support by making this process an enjoyable experience. It is natural for some residents to take a little longer to settle into their new surroundings, and we are glad that he now feels at home here.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.551) out of 10 for Elvy Court Care Home 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.551 for Elvy Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (306 Excellents x 5) + (134 Goods x 4) + (36 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.551
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 Elvy Court Care Home is based on 41 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 41 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.
