Nazareth House has a very calm atmosphere, created by the beautiful location and the lovely bright, clean rooms and communal areas. My father was there through the COVID restrictions and the staff were amazing. They made him feel part of a family and not isolated, their reassurance and patience made
the experience a happy one. Everybody effort was made to accommodate his needs and it was evident that all staff at the home cared about his comfort and happiness.

My aunt has been a resident here since 2017, we decided on Nazareth House because the on-suite rooms are very spacious light and airy, and the views out over the sea from the day rooms are second to none.
Since the new manager has taken over this year 2021, we are kept more involved with my aunts care
and welfare and find her to have a very thoughtful approach to residents and their relatives. We live many miles away and are reliant on the staff keeping us informed of everyday issues.
The new manager is very easy to speak with and has taken the time to talk to us on several occasions in her short time in the office.

Nazareth staff are extremely caring. They have a real interest and commitment to providing high quality individualised care. The staff understand the stress of family living a long way from the care home and are reassuring.

My father has been a resident here for the last four months and the family could not be more pleased. The staff are all professional, caring and supportive and the facilities are excellent. In our experience, the Sisters of Nazareth take care to ensure the residential home remains true to their core
values of love, justice, hospitality, respect, compassion and patience.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.787)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.787) out of 10 for Nazareth House - Plymouth 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.787 for Nazareth House - Plymouth is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.787

  • 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 Nazareth House - Plymouth is based on 15 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
