Thank you for such a wonderful review. It means a great deal to us at Lincombe when we see the recognition of our efforts from established relatives such as yourselves. To know that you trust us to provide excellent care for Mum after five years really is a testament to the team's passion for getting it right. Mum certainly has been nursed back to full strength remaining fiercely independent at the grand age of 90. She is Lincombe Manor's very own champion bingo caller and we could not do without her. Thank you for all your kindness and support over the years. It really does mean a lot to us.

What a beautiful review, thank you. It is our pleasure to care for your mum and to enable her to live well. It is good to know that you and your family have peace of mind in the knowledge that your mum is being well cared for and that all of your concerns are dealt with immediately. We are very lucky to be in such a scenic location, we are all spoilt with the views that we have. Your mum really does make the most out of the facilities that we have to offer, throwing herself into the activities. We all enjoy your visits. It's nice to know that you have been made to feel so welcome and part of the Lincombe family.

It is disappointing to read your review. We understand it is difficult when a loved one is unwell. When you raised your concerns to me at the time, I took them seriously and offered to meet with you, which you declined to do. Both CQC and Safeguarding also reviewed your concerns and confirmed that they were unfounded and that Lincombe Manor had followed all procedures correctly in the care of your father-in-law. Thank you for saying our building is beautiful. It reflects the quality care we deliver at Lincombe for all of our residents. Your father-in-law was a true gentleman who formed strong bonds with the staff that cared for him during his 9 month stay. We are sorry that we are no longer able to care for him, and hope that he has settled into his new home as well as he settled into Lincombe.

It was our pleasure looking after your mother during the short period of time that she was with us. It was a sad time for you, but I am reassured to know that the experience was made more bearable by the outstanding kindness and empathy shown by our team and that you felt the high level of professionalism, not only for your mother but towards yourself.

Thank you for this fabulous review. We always look forward to when your dad stays. He brings an element of fun with him each time. It is a friendly home and we are pleased that this can be felt by those that come here. It's important to us that everyone feels at home and reassured that their relatives are being cared for with kindness. The accommodation is well presented and it's great that you have acknowledged this with 5 stars.

Thank you for your review. I'm pleased that you were able to feel the support that the team have to offer. They are very knowledgeable and able to provide good advice. It's nice to hear that your mum improved due to the care that she received in Hewitt. Laughter is the best therapy! Friends and family are always welcome and it's good to see that you were included in some of the activities and felt relaxed whilst you spent time with Mum.

Thank you so much for such a positive review. The staff in Hewitt are indeed very kind and attentive and work incredibly hard in supporting people in preparation for their return home. They certainly do have a great sense of humour so it's lovely to hear your friend was so appreciative of it. I'm pleased to hear that he enjoyed the food it is always of a high quality and the chefs will be thrilled to know that it hit the spot.

This review made me feel so emotional when I read it. I know the decision to trust us to care for your mother during the final stages of her life was a difficult one, but we are honoured that you chose us. My goodness though, didn't she settle in and enjoy all that we had to offer. It was our pleasure to care for her. You were so lovely to all of us when you came for your visits. Your acknowledgement of all the departments and the quality of the service they deliver means the world to them. It is a super team of people, and it is good to know how the happiness radiates throughout the Home. Your review has made us all very proud of how much you value us.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.781 for Lincombe Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (300 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 351 Ratings = 4.781
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 Lincombe Manor Care Centre is based on 28 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
