If you are looking for a welcoming, gorgeous and caring home for your relative sandstone brook is the place to be. In March we started to navigate the care system for our grandmother who wasn't safe to return home from hospital. We loved sandstone brook & what facilities and services it has to offer
but had no idea how to get her there. It is a beautiful, purpose built home. We were supported by the team through the process to make this move possible. My grandmother has been isolated for the last 10 years and really missed the social aspect of life. Sandstone Brook has given her the care, understanding and time to help her integrate socially and make new friends. They are loving, caring and welcoming. I'm so glad we made the decision for our grandmother to move here and already can see she is starting to flourish in this nurturing environment. The staff are lovely and myself & my children have been welcomed like extended family. Sandstone Brook & it's staff will not disappoint.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.074)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.074) out of 10 for Sandstone Brook 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 Sandstone Brook is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.074 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sandstone Brook 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.6 = 0.074

  • 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.
