Reply from Lauren Kenny, Acting Manager at Benvie Care Home
We offer our most profound apologies for your experience at the home. We know that elements of care fell below the standard that our residents and relatives should expect and that we are committed to achieving. We are working hard to make significant changes within the home to ensure we can re-establish a quality of care that we are proud of. We have already implemented a great deal of this over the last three months and have seen improvements made within all elements of care. We remain committed to providing the best possible care for our residents and will continue to work closely with all members of staff and our care partners to ensure the highest standards are met with respect and dignity at the core.

Dear Fiona,
It was always our absolute pleasure to look after Mum. On behalf of all my staff, I would like to thank you and your family for being very supportive and understanding of Mum's dementia. Sometimes it is hard to say goodbye and we must move on but there will always be an empty space in our hearts that can only be filled with happy memories of the one we love.

Thank you for your kind words. Our experienced and dedicated staff understand that care must always be person-centred as each Resident is an individual with ever-changing needs. Family, friends are supported and encouraged to be involved in aspects of care if the service user wishes and it is appropriate to do so. It is our aim to provide a homely environment where service users feel happy and secure.

Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your experience with us Dorothy. We try our best to provide our residents and their families a Home away from Home. Most of us who work here have been through similar experiences either with our grandparents and or our parents. So, we can empathise with you and will always strive to do our best to look after all our Residents at Benvie Care Home.

Benvie Care Home operates a zero tolerance policy. As an employer, it has a duty of care for the health and safety of its staff and the service users. It also has a responsibility to provide a safe and secure working environment for staff. In this respect, all relatives and visitors to the home are expected to behave in an appropriate and acceptable manner. Threatening our staff members will not be tolerated.
If you would like to contact the care home, we can address and resolve your views in a considerate way. Thank you for your feedback David.

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.502) out of 10 for Benvie Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.402 for Benvie Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.402
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 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Benvie Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
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. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.5
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.
