Thank you so much for your kind words. I will be sure to print and share the review with the team.
All departments of the home work with compassion and kindness. I often hear the chef asking residents what he can cook for them, I hear the housekeeping team discussing photos and reminiscing with residents as they clean their rooms. It takes all departments to create a real home for our residents, not only our supportive and friendly care team.
Thank you again on behalf of all the staff at Moorhouse.

Thank you so much for the review. We continue to work together to create a home that promotes everyone's individual wishes and offers a place that can encourage a resident's interests to be full filled. We welcome families at any time of night or day as all families are an extension of our residents.
We appreciate our relationships and input from our resident's families. We put our resident's wishes at the heart of our decision-making, and know the importance of supporting family relationships and will continue to create a home from home for our residents and their loved ones.
Many thanks.

I was disappointed to read your review and I am sorry you have had a negative experience with our home. We take pride in the care and support we provide to residents and aim to keep a clean, comfortable and pleasant place to live.
I would also like to reassure you that we take cleanliness very seriously. Audits are in place to monitor all aspects of our home including standards of sanitation. Our housekeeping team clean rooms daily so it is disappointing it was not the case for your mother. Since your mother left the home in July, we have had a change in management at the home, with myself joining as Home Manager, and an extensive programme of refurbishments has commenced. Recruitment within social care is challenging, at times we have no alternative but to use agency staff to ensure the correct level of care is given to all our residents. I am sorry you feel that the home did not meet your expectations and I am happy to discuss it with you in person if you would like to contact me.

Thank you for spending your time completing the online review. Mum has settled in so well, it's hard to believe she hasn't been with us for much longer, everyone really enjoys her company. It is not just Mum we support but also the families during what can be an emotional journey and I am pleased as a team we have managed this.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Moorhouse 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.641 for Moorhouse Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.641
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 Moorhouse Care Home is based on 23 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 23 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.
