My stay at the nursing home has been very comfortable and pleasant. My health and strength are getting better by the day, except for a urine infection half way through my stay. The physio has been very good, seeing someone daily for exercise. Doctor visits on a regular basis. Occupational therapists
every morning and afternoon. Care being taken to self-medicate and to do exercise on my own. The food has been of hotel standards, a different menu weekly.

Evening/night care falls short noticeably, run with agency staff. The day staff have looked after me extremely well.

The health care workers were professional and kind. I was treated as an individual and with respect. The activities were varied and not compulsory. The gardens was a joy to sit in.

The property is located in a high end area in Hove. It's a beautiful Victorian Building converted into 21 private rooms. Each room is nicely decorated with basic furniture. The home has a very pleasant lounge for common use and a lovely zen garden which is very peaceful. The staff are without exception
first class. They are courteous, kind, caring and professional. All of these features combined have made my fathers stay very pleasant.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.803)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.803) out of 10 for Victoria Highgrove 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 81 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 81 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 4.803 for Victoria Highgrove is calculated as follows: ( (765 Excellents x 5) + (135 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 922 Ratings = 4.803

  • 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 Victoria Highgrove is based on 81 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 81 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.
