Wow, anyone would think you were on commission with such a brilliant review! Dad love the petting zoo visiting, and although Dad sticks with the alcohol free version not everyone does. We are glad that as a family, you are happy with the care Dad receives from our wonderful team. You as a family are always very kind and that means a lot to us. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this - my favourite line is, "I don't think he could be in any better place than Safe Harbour" That means a lot as the team works so hard and is truly a caring bunch; we certainly do all get along so well. Thank you for your kind review

This is very sweet of you. Safety is key and we are glad you feel reassured by our ability to keep your husband safe. I am glad the videos and photos have brought you joy, it is nice for families to see glimpses of what happens when you can't be with your loved one. Any time you would like to come again, that's no problem at all. Thank you again for your review.

This is lovely, thank you. Mum is quite a character which we love about her. You have always been so kind and supportive of us all and we thank you for that. The pandemic was not an easy time at all, especially for you to trust us to take care of Mum with such difficult guidelines being set. We are glad you are happy with how it all went.

Thank you so much for your very lovely review. We love to see you when you visit as you treat our team with such respect and kindness. I especially love your line 'a home from home' because of course, we can't match the home you have lived in your whole married life but to be able to help you feel such safety and comfort is the perfect compliment to the team. Thanks again.

Safe Harbour has been the only
Nobody wants to face the reality of putting a loved one into care. But our distress was worsened by finding so few settings that were willing to work with us as we took this next step. Finding Safe Harbour was a blessing, and we are grateful to the staff for all that they do. Thank you.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.846 for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.846
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 Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is based on 18 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
