Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father was here for respite stay and we couldn't have been happier with his care. Every member of staff we encountered was kind and attentive to Dad. His dietary choices were catered to, and this meant he managed to put on 1kg in a fortnight, which was much needed. He returned home, fitter, and mentally
brighter, and more engaged.
Dad had a health issue while staying with them and they dealt with it quickly and efficiently.
The place is newly refurbished, the rooms modest sized, with plenty of storage, en-suite toilet and sink and lovely big TVs.
After the refurbishment, and reopening by Applewood, it felt like a bit of a gamble because they had not had any CQC assessments but I was impressed by the management team, and what felt like a gamble really paid off, and we will happily use them again for future respite.

Reply from Sophy Whiting, home manager at Apple Grove Nursing Home

Thank you Claire for our first review on carehome.co.uk. Its very useful for future residents and their families to see these reviews as they are verified prior to being added to our site by the independent team at carehome.co.uk. It was an absolute pleasure having dad stay with us and mum pop in for the visits. We look forward to the next time.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.125)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.125) out of 10 for Apple Grove Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Apple Grove Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Apple Grove Nursing Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.125

  • 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.
