Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Never could we have imagined my father would tragically join my mother as a resident of Gainsborough House. The staff know him as the loving husband of my mother Frances who was admitted with vascular dementia over a year ago. My father visited every day and the staff were amazing with them both.
Tragically after a fall and pneumonia my father was diagnosed with mixed dementia in December 2015 when he was admitted. The staff are utterly amazing - it is humbling to see such care, compassion, concern - the holding of a hand, arm round a shoulder to reassure during the anguish and upset. No words can convey the gratitude to the staff at Gainsborough for their care for the two most important people in our lives who had succumbed to this devastating illness. The only peace of mind we have is knowing that they could not be better cared for and respected as valuable human beings - parents and grandparents brothers sisters community pillared, whilst working to the best of their ability to provide an holistic "service" to their residents and to attempt to reassure to families that their loved ones are valued and treated with compassion and dignity. Thank you everyone, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts .

Today was the first time I visited my friends mum since she came to Gainsborough House. As it is purpose built I expected it to be well done, but I was bowled over by the design the wide corridors, the good sized rooms and the activity/social areas. I have over the years visited a number of nursing
homes, but none as well designed and well equipped as this one. And even better, the staff were excellent caring professional and approachable. An exceptional place. Thank You.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.315)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.315) out of 10 for Gainsborough House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.621 for Gainsborough House is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.621

  • 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 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gainsborough House is based on 10 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.694

  • 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.
