St George's has been fantastic since the moment my mother arrived, specialising in needs as she has challenging behaviour. The health care commission reports are wholly wrong in my opinion and I am highly critical of them, I think the St George's do a fantastic job and are extremely conscientious.
Staff
are wonderfully dedicated, caring and understand dementia, which I think the commission do not. They work hard, are respectful and dedicated at provided care. Play leaders are imaginative and thoughtful with their programmes.

Mum has been in St. George's nursing home for 10 months. I see her regularly and I am very pleased with her care and how she seems to have improved health wise since last year when she arrived to live with my family. It was a difficult choice to put mum in a nursing home but it was recommended after
many trips to A & E and a couple of long hospital stays. The staff at St. George's soon gave me confidence that we had done the right thing for mum. Mum still has a good memory so she knows that she has lived with us but when she comes to visit she tells us when she is ready to go 'home', that is to St George's. Mum has likes and dislikes and when she has told staff what she wants, they try to accommodate her. My sister visits mum a lot less frequently due to distance but last weekend when she took mum out she commented on how well mum looked compared to a year ago.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for St George's Care 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.839 for St George's Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 280 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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 George's Care Home is based on 24 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
