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: 9.0 (8.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.968) out of 10 for Lavender Fields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.635 for Lavender Fields is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.635

  • 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lavender Fields is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.533

  • 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.

I enjoy the family atmosphere at Lavender Fields. I’m always around
to help arrange bedrooms when our new residents move in whether it’s
to hang a shelf or favourite picture. When I’m not at work I enjoy fishing and spending time with my family.

I enjoy the daily contact with residents and their relatives, hopefully people see me as a happy face on reception when they enter the home. Away from home I embrace family life and my daughter always keep me busy, when I do get to enjoy some me time I like going to the cinema.
