Thank you for your lovely kind words about our facilities and colleagues. We just want to reassure you that we always have the correct amount of staff on shifts and there is always someone on reception but sometimes they may not always be someone to answer the phone on the suites if all colleagues are delivering care and activities.

We are very saddened to read your review, as all residents at Snowdrop House are very well cared for by our passionate team. Creating a meaningful and fulfilled lifestyle with tasty food for everyone in the home is what we pride ourselves on. Our teams regularly speak with residents to gather what activities they would like to do and what they would like to see on the menu. Due to the circumstances of the property sale, we were unable to keep your Mum at our home but were really glad to hear she has settled in at her new home.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Snowdrop House 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.757 for Snowdrop House is calculated as follows: ( (323 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 375 Ratings = 4.757
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 Snowdrop House is based on 31 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 31 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2014
I started working for Care UK in 2014 and I believe to be an effective home manager you need to have a positive attitude and be caring, respectful and approachable.
I have 20 years of experience in the care industry, qualifying in Cambridge and specialising in respiratory and end-of-life care. I have undertaken a wide variety of roles across the country, from care case manager for the East of England to working in the prison service, in hospitals, care homes and with people with challenging behaviour.
My favourite part of the working day is motivating my team to ensure the residents are our main focus of the day. Together we create memorable moments, laughter and joy with them.
