The Review Score of 9.5 (9.541) out of 10 for Pendean House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.541 for Pendean House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (99 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.541
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 Pendean House Care Home is based on 26 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 26 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2023
I am the Home Manager at Pendean House Care Home, I came into my role in 2023. I oversee the management and the running of the home to a high standard.
I have worked in the care sector since 1998, starting as a Qualified Nursery Nurse. I had the opportunity to set up facilities for Learning Disabilities and Mental Health provisions from scratch. It has always been my priority to provide a warm, caring and person-centred environment to every resident and member of staff.
The part of my role that I enjoy the most is making a difference to everyone in their own way. A simple smile or hug, warm cup of tea or chat with a listening ear can make the biggest difference to someone's day.
I am a single parent of two young children (7 and 9). I relocated from Essex to Littlehampton in May 2023 to be nearer to my parents. The move has been a life changer for me and my children. We love swimming, walks, BBQ's and spending time with friends and family.
Job Title: Financial Administrator
Joined: 2024
I am the Financial Administrator at Pendean House.
I gained my AAT qualification back in 1997 whilst working for WSCC but as soon as I passed, I changed careers and became an IT Engineer. I was working for a media company based in London before taking up employment with Farnborough College of Technology and then Guildford College. Having had enough of the daily commute I looked for something more local and took a position supporting a global company that dealt with student accommodation. The IT department was then outsourced, and my employment was moved to the new contractors. The outsourcing contract was terminated in September 2023, so I then started to look for local employment hence I now find myself working for the lovely Pendean House.
I love coming into the home and seeing a variety of people from residents to my colleagues -everyone has a different experience to tell you about.
I live literally 5 minutes down the road. I make my own jewellery -nothing fancy mainly costume and purely for myself as my taste may not be for everyone.
Job Title: Senior Care Assistant
Joined: 2010
I am a Senior Care Assistant at Pendean House as well as an Engagement Champion and Fire Trainer.
When my dad died from cancer his care wasn't the best. I started working with a home care agency and later came to Pendean in the hope I could make a difference in people's lives.
What I love most about working at a care home is that every day is different and I have the privilege of assisting our elderly residents in their day-to-day life at Pendean House.
Outside of work, I am mum to 5 amazing children and I am slightly animal crazy! My dream is to swim with pigs in the Bahamas!
