Medication was not administered. Mum left in a wet nappy. Staff just on phones ignoring residents. Bins not working and overflowing, shower broken. Only once hand towel provided. Blanket had holes. Bedding stained (blood and urine) Buzzer out of reach to use. Food was disgusting. Biscuits for breakfast,
often just soup and sandwich for meal times.

Friendly and welcoming reception. Dated building with steep stairs. Maze of rooms must make it difficult for staff!

Stonecross is a friendly and caring home where there is always staff available if I need to ask about my Mum, or if she needs a bit of extra support. Both the care and support staff seem to know all the residents well and work together to make Stonecross a 'real home'. The activity staff organise individual
activities but it's also great that young people are coming in to both entertain and interact with the residents. The staff always keep me up to date with any issues, which helps me to know that my Mum is safe, happy and well cared for.

Current Review Score: 6.9 (6.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.9 (6.938) out of 10 for Stonecross Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 3.500 for Stonecross Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (15 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 3.5

  • 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 3.438 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stonecross Care Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.313

  • 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.
