I am very happy and confident my step daughter is well cared for at Isfryn House. I know she is very fond of her carers and very grateful for all they do for her. Whenever we visit we are made to feel welcome by all the friendly staff. Her condition is complex and I feel reassured that she is understood
and absolutely everything is being done to help and support her to lead the happiest life she can.

My father has been residing at Isfryn for the past 12 months. I cannot recommend this care home enough. The progress my father has made since arriving here has been immense. The staff are absolutely wonderful - so caring and friendly. My mother and I can only visit twice a month, but we know that my
dad is having all his needs met and is always enjoying activities, trips out and learning to live a 'normal' life again. My fathers future looks very bright now and that is all thanks to the wonderful staff, care and structure at Isfryn.

I recently visited my son at Isfryn and was greeted by all the staff. I was offered cups of tea and was able to chat to lots of them about my son's progress. He seems to be doing really well and coping more and more each day in his own way. He still has a way to go but staff do everything they can to
help him on his road to recovery. I live miles away so it's great to be assured that he is well looked after. A huge thank you to you all.

Isfryn is providing exceptional care and attention in all matters concerning my son's life. He is engaged in several of his particular activities and interests and this I am sure is helping to adjust to a more normal life after his illness. He speaks highly of all staff and is as happy there as could
be expected away from his previous home. My husband and I are always welcomed and shown respect and consideration, with full updates about my son.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.625) out of 10 for Isfryn 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 3.6 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 Isfryn 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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Isfryn 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 8 registered maximum number of service users is 1.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 1.6 = 0.625

  • 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.
