I would just like to give this review to Arlington Nursing Home.
I don't usually give reviews as other homes haven't been great whilst my mother has been in respite but I just have to give review for this one!
My mother has Dementia and we use nursing homes for some respite. This was the first time
we used Arlington and I cannot express how well this nursing home is run. The staff were exceptional always plenty about catering to all the residents. All sorts of activities are on for the residents, a real homely place!
The staff even came up to me and my sisters and just asked about my mummy and her life, they showed such interest they were lovely.
It was beautiful, warm and cosy at Christmas time and my mummy was always happy when I came to see her in it. If I ever had to choose respite again Arlington would be my first choice.
This home should be recognised and awarded for its exceptional care standards.
Thank you again Arlington and staff from me and my sisters.

My mum spent a short time at Arlington House. During her time there she received excellent nursing care. The staff are kind and compassionate and provide resident centred care that is of the highest quality. The home itself is spotless and her room was exceptionally comfortable. I would have no hesitation
in recommending this home for those needing care.

It was difficult for my father at the start due to a new environment but all the staff have been excellent caring for him and attending to all his needs. They have been absolute stars in supporting our family as well, answering all questions and addressing any worries we may have.

My mother unfortunately only resided in Arlington Private Nursing Home for a short time, but during this period she received fantastic loving care from all staff.
I work in the healthcare services myself and was blown away by the heartfelt personal care my mother received throughout her stay. These
lovely memories will stay with us, and all staff in the home are a credit to their profession.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.200)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.200) out of 10 for Arlington Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Arlington Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 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 3.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Arlington Nursing Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0.2

  • 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.
