We credit this Home (that is to say it ’s management, staff, environment, food etc) with the 100% improvement in Dad’s physical and mental state after his discharge from a 7-week hospital stay. When he arrived he had to be hoisted from chair to bed and was very confused. He didn’t want to socialise
and had lost a lot of weight. Now he is as mobile as he wants to be, is a social as he pleases (usually very!), loves the staff and the food and his cosy room, which has all his pictures and belongings in. He sat outside in the summer, goes on the trips out if he feels like it and dines in his room if he’s watching the football. The staff are caring and keep us informed. Not sure what else we can say.......

My Father has been at The Brunswick since January. Although my brother and his family are local, I live in Southampton. When I visit I have always been impressed by the friendliness and courtesy that all the staff show to me and the residents. Personally, I think the “very on the ball” manager and the
rest of the whole team do a great job with all the residents which I am sure, at times, is challenging. They show great inter-personal skills, patience and a willingness to do everything they can to ensure the resident's happiness, well being and safety. The Brunswick is a beautiful building; always spotless and a lovely warm atmosphere. I feel very confident when I go, that Dad is being so well looked after, safe and no falls in the last nine months since he moved in - incredible considering his general immobility and age. I would highly recommend The Brunswick.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for The Brunswick 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.898 for The Brunswick is calculated as follows: ( (388 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 423 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 The Brunswick is based on 36 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 36 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.
