Since my dad has been in the care home, the staff have been very supportive and helpful with all our queries. Informed us of any incidents he has been in. Open day for family and friends was catered for, eg residents and visitors.

Amazing team putting not along the resident's needs at the heart of everything but also the staff. I absolutely love working here. I feel I am learning something new every day. The clients receive the best care along with amazing home cooked meals and various daily activities.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My partner has been at Howsons for just over a year. It is brilliant. He had been in 3 care homes prior, the last two being abysmal. He left Nocton Cottage weighing 8.5 stone and looked at death's door. He had three weeks at Bunkers Hill where he developed the worst oedema I had seen and the nurse
did not know anything about it and then he fractured his hip and it took neatly five hours for them to call an ambulance! A year later, he weighs over 11.5 stone, they have cleared up the sores on his legs and feet and he looks it he best of health apart from his Alzheimer's. They never know when I am coming to visit but he is always clean, well dressed, shaven, hair cut and they even do his ears - the only home that would. The staff are lovely, seem to genuinely care and I no longer worry about him. The awful thing is that the Quality Care Commission did not give it a good review and I was reluctant for him to go there but, as he was difficult, no one else would have him. What do the Care commission know. When I made complaints about one of the other homes, they were not interested. He actually seems happy and I am so glad he is at Howsons.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.060)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.060) out of 10 for Howson Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 5.000 for Howson Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.06 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Howson Care Centre is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.06

  • 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.
