The Review Score of 9.5 (9.503) out of 10 for Alveston Leys Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.503 for Alveston Leys Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (37 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 378 Ratings = 4.503
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 Alveston Leys Care Home is based on 29 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 29 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: Home Manager
Joined: 2022
I joined Bupa in April 2022 and so far, have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the company, leading the team at Alveston Leys.
I started my career in care as a housekeeper and have since developed my skills, working through a variety of roles until I became the Home Manager for Alveston. I really enjoy looking after and caring for others, as well as providing an open and honest environment. I thrive on the challenges that social care can often exhibit, as well as advocating for my team and residents. It has always been my goal to make a difference in a person’s life for the better, which I feel to be very important in the enhancement of our resident’s wellbeing.
I live with my husband and son just 30 minutes from the home and as a family, we enjoy all things football. I enjoy travelling to see how different cultures live and have a keen eye for a good book!

I have worked all roles within the setting, including a nurse, deputy manager, general manager, clinical specialist roles, and teaching foundation level up to FE level. Training and specialist knowledge; dementia care, complex mental health and I have completed palliative care and end-of-life care at a degree level, plus Teaching and assessing in clinical practice.

In 2017 I moved to Alveston Leys as a Bank Senior Care Assistant and got very involved with clinical skill.

In 2022 I applied to The Nursing Associate Programme and was successful. I am now in my second year as a Trainee Nurse Associate with a few years to continue to progress as a Registered Nurse in the future. I thoroughly enjoy my role as no two days are the same.
