Reply from Campbell Lyle, Managing Director at Wellcross Grange
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for clarifying that your concern related to cost rather than care. For some context, our home has had the privilege of providing care for your uncle for 30 years. During this time, we've watched him age, and naturally, his care needs have evolved. This increase in care needs is the primary reason for the fee adjustments, which we had previously communicated. When a resident's falls risk or personal care requirements grow, we must allocate additional staff time to ensure they receive the best possible care.While inflation and government legislation have certainly impacted care providers in general, it is the increased care needs that have been the main factor in the price changes. We understand that there may be more affordable options out there, but we believe that the high quality of care at our home remains a key differentiator. We are saddened that he was unable to remain in our care and wish you luck in his new placement.

Dear Jack, we can only repeat what we wrote in response to the very similar negative reviews recently posted by your mother, mother’s partner and grandmother. Our staff have the right to work in an environment free from abuse and harassment, in any form, from visitors. Your family did not respect this policy, or our staff, and this is the reason for the requisite notice being served to the local authority, and for the necessity for us to involve the police. We reject your claims as spurious and believe them to have been posted in malice. Your family’s continued threats and harassment of our staff and home, which includes these reviews, speak volumes and have been forwarded to the police.

We are disappointed but not surprised that you have posted this review. Our staff have the right to work in an environment free from abuse and harassment, in any form, from visitors. Your family did not respect this policy, or our staff, and this is the reason for the requisite notice being served to the local authority. For factual accuracy and as previously explained, and verified by external clinicians, your nan experienced a pathological fracture to her toe - i.e. from an underlying condition rather than impact-related.

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.244) out of 10 for Wellcross Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.244 for Wellcross Grange is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (48 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.244
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 Wellcross Grange is based on 21 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 21 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.
