Hi Lesley, thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate hearing about your concerns regarding fluid intake and sleep patterns. We understand how vital proper hydration and restful sleep are for our resident's health and comfort and we are truly sorry if we have fell short in these areas. To help ensure that our residents have had adequate fluid intake we have regular fluid rounds and encourage residents to drink frequently throughout the day and night. Our care team also monitor sleep patterns and work to create a comfortable environment conducive to rest. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Feedback like this is invaluable in helping us to improve the quality of care for our residents. Please feel free to pop in and see the manager if you have any concerns that we can help to resolve.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.735) out of 10 for Bothwell Castle is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.735 for Bothwell Castle is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.735
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 Bothwell Castle is based on 33 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 33 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.
