The Review Score of 8.1 (8.050) out of 10 for Appleby Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.500 for Appleby Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (18 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 34 Ratings = 4.5
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 3.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Appleby Care Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25
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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.3
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.

Job Title: Care Home Manager
Welcome to Appleby Care Home in North Shields.
We provide care of the highest quality for the elderly on a permanent or respite basis, in lovely comfortable surroundings. Our team of experienced care professionals constantly undergo training to provide outstanding care and support to all of our residents.
There are two units within Appleby Care Home. The ground floor and part of the upper floor make up the mixed dementia unit. There is also a specialist male-only service on the upper floor for male service users who may have behaviours that are challenging.
We also offer care for convalescence, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, palliative care, and dementia.
Appleby offers a safe and secure environment promoting independence and well-being. There are a number of care packages available offering long and short-term care including nursing.
Each room has en-suite facilities and the home has a number of communal rooms. We have a large garden and patio for residents to sit outside in the warmer months and help with planting flowers and plants. We also have a pond and ducks often visit the home.
The focal point of the garden is a large summer house which is used as an Ice cream parlour in the summer and as Santa’s Grotto in the run-up to Christmas.
Our on-site activities coordinator develops a monthly programme with the needs and capabilities of the residents in mind, ensuring that there is always something exciting to do at Appleby. We also have a minibus to take our residents on outings in the local area.
Our philosophy is simple; we want everyone to enjoy life to the fullest. We never forget that all our residents are individuals and we treat them with dignity, privacy and respect while offering freedom of choice and as much independence as possible.
The team at Appleby are compassionate and caring and goes beyond the call of duty with all residents.
I’d love to show you around the home. If you would like a tour or wish to discuss any aspect of elderly care with me, please telephone the home to make an appointment.
