Thank you for your review of The Hazelwell and your praise of the kindness of our staff. Our team of care staff are hard-working and dedicated to providing high-quality care to our residents and I will make sure they are aware of your kind words. Each week the leadership team at the home publish an analysis of our staffing levels which is posted on the resident/relatives notice board on the ground floor. This consistently shows that the home has been staffed substantially higher than what would be considered a minimum staffing level. If you would like to discuss this further, though, then our team are always happy to discuss how the home is staffed and how we calculate the staffing required.

Thank you for your review and I assure you that the care of our residents is our top priority, and we have systems in place to ensure that we have the correct ratios of staff to our resident's dependency to ensure that we can provide the very best care for the care categories we are registered for. We work alongside our community and regulatory colleagues to ensure that the residents' best interests and medical needs are being met and unfortunately this does sometimes result in other alternatives having to be looked into which are fully consulted with all parties to make ensure the best outcomes for the resident.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.548) out of 10 for The Hazelwell Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.548 for The Hazelwell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (246 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 341 Ratings = 4.548
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 The Hazelwell Care Home is based on 27 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 27 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.
