Pleasant entrance, staff all nice, saying good morning etc. Room very comfortable and well appointed. There seems to be enough staff. Meals could be warmer, but plenty of changes, I am happy to support this review. The client is safe so that's good.

Staff have always promoted my mum's choice by using different strategies that are person centred to meet her needs.
Staff take on board what works for mum and her preferences. When mum has been unsettled when I leave, staff are always available to address my concerns. Nothing is too much for the staff
and the staff who have supported mum have always been approachable. The staff have a holistic approach and have a wrap around approach which includes the carers/family. Our first impressions were around how friendly everyone was from admin to support and the manager.

Just wanted to say how utterly amazing the staff are at Chapel Level Care Home. Me and my wife just got married in the middle of October and unfortunately due to my gran's dementia she was unable to attend the wedding. To allow my gran to be part of our special celebration the care home said that they
would put on a spread so that we could come into the home and celebrate with my gran which in itself was an amazing gesture.
The whole family surprised my gran with a visit to the home the day after our wedding and we all wore our wedding outfits. The look on my grans face when we walked in and surprised her was absolutely amazing and this turned out to be even more emotional than the real wedding the day before.
They put on a fantastic spread of food and a wedding cake for us. They also had singers and music so we could have a dance with gran and also invited some of the other residents to join in, where they all had an amazing time.
So just a huge thank you to the truly amazing staff.

Mum has settled in really well in Chapel Level Care Home. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. It has given us so much peace of mind that she is in a safe and secure environment with 24 hour care. It felt like a huge decision when deciding which care home for mum but we felt so happy with
our decisions in Chapel Level.

A warm welcome was given when arrived. Shown to a lovely room with a view of the garden area.
Carers introduced themselves to Mum and all relevant information was passed on to nurses and carers. Was invited to have lunch with Mum to get her settled.

I have been visiting my friend every week for more than a year and have never had a cause for concern. My friend is very settled and happy at Chapel Level. She is well cared for and the staff are very pleasant, and always make me feel welcome. It is a pleasure to visit.

My Gran loves being in Chapel. She can treat the place as her own home and gets a brilliant say in what she wants to do and what she doesn't. She is always valued and is encouraged to try new things.

From the first visit to the current day, the communication has been excellent, and have been able to find support when needed. Mum settled very easily and enjoyed having company. All the staff is very friendly and approachable, making a fuss of residents.
Due to a dip, my Mum has moved to the secure
dementia unit, so I'm hoping she settles well there too.
If I were looking for a nursing home again I would definitely choose this one.
Activities score only because they are currently looking for a second coordinator.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Chapel Level Care Home 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.813 for Chapel Level Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 364 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 Chapel Level Care Home is based on 30 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 30 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.
