Thank you for completing a review for our home. We appreciate the compliments that you extend to our team regarding their warmth, friendliness and generosity of spirit and will share these with them at our next staff meeting, we know that they will be appreciated.
We would like to assure you that we take all feedback very seriously. We did have to operate without a lift for a five day period when planned maintenance to install a new electrical system took place. We were able to minimise disruption and are very proud of the way our staff responded to these additional challenges for this short time.
Could we ask that you contact us so that we can arrange a meeting to discuss your areas of concern – we have consulted our records and don’t seem to have received anything from you regarding these.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.638) out of 10 for The Laurels and The Limes Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.638 for The Laurels and The Limes Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.638
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 Laurels and The Limes Care Home is based on 27 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
