The Review Score of 9.7 (9.746) out of 10 for Abbeydale 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.746 for Abbeydale is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.746
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 Abbeydale is based on 17 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 17 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.

One of our Deputy Managers says “the nurses find Katty knowledgeable and approachable. I personally find her knowledgeable and a calming influence and a great support in my development as a Deputy Manager”.
Time away from work Katty enjoys going away in her motorhome, walking the dog, and riding her bike. Katty also loves cooking and socialising with friends. Katty has also been involved in many fundraising events over the years, including organising local fun dog shows.

In my spare time, I enjoy running and I am currently attempting to complete the NHS “Couch to 5K” programme”.
