We are disheartened to read about your concerns regarding your relative's care. Resident wellbeing & comfort is our utmost priority. We value open communication with families. It is never our intention to dismiss concerns without proper consideration. If there was any miscommunication/misunderstanding, we sincerely apologise. Your relative's emergency placement in our home, which was always temporary, came to an end. The funders (social services) sought a permanent placement. Your relative had complex needs before joining us, including being registered as blind. He received diligent care including close monitoring by healthcare professionals. It's worth noting that health changes can be attributed to various factors, including progression of his dementia. We appreciate the thorough investigation conducted by the council's Adult Safeguarding Team, requested by the family, which found no issues regarding his care. We wish him the best in his new home & remain open to further discussion.

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.
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.
