Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Lavender Fields since August 2018. Generally, she has settled well. She finds it difficult to ask for help and so staff have been good at identifying when she does. The food has been variable but sees to have improved. Staff are very kind and helpful.

A really caring home, superbly appointed, everybody says hello. I am so glad my Mother is in such a modern and friendly environment. The management has been excellent in dealing with my Mother despite a sometimes fractious family background.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad transferred here two months ago. Everyone has made him very welcome. The staff are always approachable and are alert to Dad's medical needs. He is extremely happy and settled. Our only slight question mark concerns the activities. Dad and the family would benefit from a weekly activity sheet which
he could have in his room. It could then be emailed to families each week in order to plan potential visits.
Reply from Michelle Bryant, Deputy Manager at Lavender Fields

Thank you very much for your lovely comments. We have now put weekly activities list up on each floor and also will give this activity schedule to residents and email it on a weekly basis to family/friends of our residents.

Review from Sarah T (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved to Lavender Fields from another care home in Tunbridge Wells.
Everything about the move was done with a lot of care and forward planning.
Since being at Lavender Fields my father is a 'new' person. He is happy, relaxed and enjoying life.
The staff and facilities are excellent.
Maybe
the food could be a little more adventurous.

Review from Carolyn B (Niece of Resident) published on 23 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During a very difficult transition phase (moving the whole home - staff and residents to a new location) the management team showed their true colours!
Their focus was on minimising the disruption for and confusion of, every resident.
They managed to do so in every way.
Not to anyone's surprise,
however - they manage to do miracles on a daily basis.
Well done - and thank you!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.887) out of 10 for Lavender Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.154 for Lavender Fields is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (21 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.154
  2. 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 4.733 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lavender Fields is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.733
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
