It is now almost two years since Dad was discharged from hospital with a very poor prognosis for any improvement in mobility or cognition, he needed 24-hour care.


We had been told by hospital staff that he would make no further progress so was not able to benefit from rehab. The very professional

care he received at Goodwin's proved them wrong.


Yesterday, when I arrived to visit, Dad had just had a walk in the sunshine around the beautiful garden, with a walking aid but independently!


As a family, we know that the dedication, friendly and totally professional care he has received at Goodwin's has given us so much precious extra time with Dad.


Dad has retained much of his lost independence in a homely setting but with the backup of 24-hour care. I can honestly say that the staff members, without exception, display genuine care and empathy with the residents and extend that to us as family.

Thank you for your lovely review and am delighted to hear that Dad is doing so well.

Would recommend to friends etc. Or anyone who is in need of help.

The staff here are a credit to the profession.
Nothing is too much trouble and they treat the residents like they are part of their family.
My father was a resident for a number of years and sadly passed away in March.
The care they provided not only to him but to us as a family was exceptional.
Going
above and beyond the call of duty.
You would struggle to find a better place.

Both parents were at Goodwins, my mother past away in March and we felt that the "end of life" care for mum was excellent. All staff were sympathetic and very kind. My father is still at Goodwins and we are regular updated on his welfare. This home has a very cheerful environment and as a family, we
are very happy with the service provided.

I would like to thank the staff for the kindness and support provided to my father during his time at Goodwins Hall Nursing & Residential Care Home. This was evident throughout his time at the home but especially during the few days before he died. I also feel that the welcome provided to my mother
who visited him daily and the rest of the family was genuinely inclusive. The support provided by a taxi driver linked to the house also provided valued opportunities for dad to spend some time in his own home. Many thanks to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.470)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.470) out of 10 for Goodwins Hall 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.470 for Goodwins Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (123 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 351 Ratings = 4.47

  • 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 Goodwins Hall Care Home is based on 29 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
