Thank you Sara for taking the time to write such a lovely review, feedback is extremely important to us. We are truly pleased your mother settled into Elliscombe House with ease. As a staff team, it is extremely important to us that our residents feel included in their care and are offered choice throughout. We are so pleased that your mother chooses to take part in many activities, including late-night get-togethers. Prior to opening Elliscombe House the staff team created our core values and have worked hard to embed these in their practice. It is so refreshing to hear 'nothing appears to be too much trouble'.

Thank you Anna for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It is of the utmost importance to us as a nursing team that our residents are treated as individuals and that the care and support provided is tailored to their needs. Understanding one's frustrations due to an accident was valuable learning for the staff team and I am proud they adapted and took this in their stride. We feel honoured to have been part of your mother's successful recovery and send you all our best wishes. I will pass on your kind words to the staff team.

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Elliscombe House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.958 for Elliscombe House is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.958
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 Elliscombe House is based on 10 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 10 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: Head Chef
Joined: 2021
Hi, my name is Ben & I am the Head Chef at Elliscombe House.
I trained at Somerset College, progressing my catering career from kitchen porter to head chef. I have managed several professional kitchens, predominantly in fine dining restaurants and the gastro-pub industry.
On any given day, I can be found creating dishes such as roasted venison loin, truffle butternut puree, celeriac fondants with a chocolate jus, or local pheasant breast, leg bon bon, pickled red cabbage & caramelised apple with a truffle dressing. I truly believe the most delicious cuisine is made simply with the best, fresh, high quality ingredients.
