Apologies if there has been some confusion with our ongoing explanation regarding CHC Funding in this instance. For clarity, this is not something we are responsible for as it is an external clinician who would make the assessment and determine eligibility. If you would like to discuss this further, then please feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Mum was part of the family at Derwent House and it was a pleasure to care for her for so many years. Thank you for the kind words and support you have shared with the home and the staff, these will be passed over to the team. Relationships with family members are just as important to us as the residents and you will also be missed by many of the team, we wish you all the best.

Thank you for your review. Because of the ever-changing guidelines for visitors in care homes we have accommodated visits the best that we can during this time and would love to welcome more extended visits should the restrictions allow. I am pleased to hear that you were happy with the service and care provided by our team and I will make sure your feedback and thanks is passed over to the team. The TV channels is something that I will address with the maintenance team. Thank you.

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.776) out of 10 for Riverside Care Complex is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.538 for Riverside Care Complex is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 91 Ratings = 4.538
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 4.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Riverside Care Complex is based on 7 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 = 3.7
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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.538
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.
