My parents have been in a couple of homes for respite, and they have never been as happy or as well treated as they were in Golfhill. The staff were amazing and so kind to both of them that I would never hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Reply from Paul Lawson, Customer Relations Manager at Golfhill Care Home

Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for your feedback and for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure caring for your mum and dad, please pass them both kind regards from all of the staff.
It would be a pleasure to welcome them back to Golfhill any time.

Although only at Golfhill for short 'respite care', my husband was made very welcome by all the staff and he settled in quickly. He ate well and didn't seem in any particular hurry to leave when I went to collect him after his/our 'holiday'. I would not hesitate to return him to Golfhill if and when
the need arises.

Caring staff, good facilities. I live 200 miles away and staff always keep me updated by phone and I am often offered a drink when I arrive if the staff have time. My mother hasn't known me for over 10 years and your staff make a difficult situation for me a little better! Thank you all.

My mother's stay was a lovely experience for the whole family. She was very anxious and became very settled. Staff got to know her quickly and we became one family. The home is very clean and the room is very comfortable. Food is excellent and plenty of choice. Staff are friendly and management very
approachable.

I found staff to be very helpful and the environment very clean. We had the option to help make his room comfortable and personal. Food is very tasty and we have had lunch together they have lots of areas which are like little memory areas and work very well and the pub is just fab. We have seen
some lovely caring moments between staff and the residents and feel very content in the knowledge that he is being looked after well.

It would be nice to hear a bit of music getting played, music to suit ages of the residents, getting played softly in the background. Rooms kept fresher (at times).

I feel my aunt is safe and well cared for. All staff have a warm and friendly relationship with both my aunt and myself and family.
All her needs are being fulfilled by the care home which is always smelling nice and everywhere is spotlessly clean. I have tasted the food when visiting and it has always
been delicious!

Staff are attentive most of the time and my dad is well cared for. We have on occasions asked about his welfare but staff always come back and answer any questions we have asked. The room is adequate but on occasions needs to be cleaner. The food seems varied but I think plainer fair for older people
would be better, i.e. stews, mince etc.

Current Review Score: 7.2 (7.193)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.2 (7.193) out of 10 for Golfhill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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 3.800 for Golfhill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 3.8

  • 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 3.393 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Golfhill 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 105 registered maximum number of service users is 21. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.143

  • 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.
