In Mum's last two days I was there almost constantly. The respect and concern shown for me was also highly professional and greatly appreciated.

When visiting it was plain to see that the staff were devoted and committed to providing the highest
It was also plain to see that my Brother-in-law was as comfortable as he could possibly be, for which we are indebted to you for.
Without doubt or consideration, we would instantly recommend Briar Hill to any of our friends or relatives, because we have experienced the best care possible.
It is difficult to find the words to adequately express/communicate our deepest thanks to you ALL for caring for our Brother-in-law!

From the moment he was admitted we felt he had joined another family such was the welcome, warmth and generosity
My husband was in a PVS. The standard of care and support he received was exemplary, never wavering or faltering, nothing was too much trouble, he was treated with compassion, dignity, thoughtfulness and extreme professionalism.
The staff continually performed well above and beyond that of their stipulated duties showing and demonstration exceptional attention to detail. I am sure no other care home could have delivered a better care package.
I have and will always recommend Briar Hill as the best home if anyone should need one.

Briar Hill is a very warm and welcoming place. Bright, clean and modern. The staff are very very very caring and helpful to both the residents and family members. I no longer have to worry about mom's environment. It is unfortunate that mom is too poorly to appreciate what Briar Hill is giving her. Thank you all for your care.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for Briar Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.894 for Briar Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.894
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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Briar Hill House is based on 8 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 = 3.8
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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 8 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.
