My mother in law seems really happy now. It took her a while to accept that she wouldn't be able to manager at home. She doesn't venture out of her room very often preferring to watch her TV. All the staff are really lovely.

The home is set in the most beautiful and peaceful location, and the staff and manager go above and beyond to make a homely, welcoming and stimulating environment for residents and visitors alike. My family can't praise and thank the staff of Immacolata House enough. My father lived there for the last
3 years of his life. I particularly want to thank them for their care for my father in the last days of his life. Even though he wasn't really aware of his surroundings, the carers continued to treat him with kindness and respect and continued to make him comfortable. They were also so kind to my family and I as we spent his final hours with him. We will never forget them.

Reply from Pip Harris, Marketing Manager at Immacolata House

Dad came into Immacolata on the 7th May 2024, since he came in we have been very pleased with the care he has received, and the welcoming we also received making us feel very comfortable every time we visit. Dad continues to receive great care and now with his one to one care 12 hours a day, this has
made such a difference. What a great team.

This is a friendly well staffed caring home. All the staff said hello and were welcoming. A member of staff said he was happy and settled here. He seems content and well-looked after. The staff keep in regular contact with me by email and phone. His bedroom is clean and tidy. We get regular invites

As soon as I was offered the vacancy for my wife I was very happy. This was due to the care and respect I knew she would receive from the staff while she would be there. Her mother had the same level of care while she was there before her. The staff are very kind and respectful to my wife and always
keep me up to date on any developments.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.653)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.653) out of 10 for Immacolata House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 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.

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 4.653 for Immacolata House is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.653

  • 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 Immacolata House 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, 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.
