The Review Score of 9.4 (9.397) out of 10 for Miranda House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.588 for Miranda House is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.588
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 4.809 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Miranda House is based on 11 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.809
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: Home Manager
Mandi is our Home Manager at Miranda House, here’s a little bit more about herself and the home in her own words:
“I have worked in elderly care since 1987 across only five different homes during this time. I have mainly worked with dementia residents during my time in the sector. I enjoy the aspect of moving homes forward with the team, to ensure that our residents have a meaningful and safe environment to live in. I believe it is important to make sure that relatives are also part of that journey.
I want to be a familiar face out and about at Miranda House and will be actively involved in getting to know all our residents and working with the team to ensure I bring cohesiveness to the home.
At Miranda House, care from the heart means our great team ensures our residents and relatives are cared for as if they were our own family, always going that extra mile. The team also looks after each other, true teamwork. For us caring is always ensuring you are doing your best for everyone. Giving the time to listen, chat, and always being compassionate.”
