Excellent in every way I cannot fault the care home. Over the last 18 months, my father in law has had the best care possible.


Thank you to all the staff and management.

A warm friendly atmosphere.
Staff genuinely care for the residents, not unusual to see someone being given a hug.
Also, treat visitors/family with friendliness and a smile....by name.
Food always looks good and the cook makes the most wonderful cakes!

Coniston House staff were amazing in the end of life care they gave to my mother in law in April 2018. My mother in law had spent 6 years in Coniston House. She had enjoyed her time there. All her needs were met with kind and friendly caring staff. It is always hard for both staff and family in the
latter stages to go through Dementia. Coniston House staff tried in all ways to meet her and care for her needs.

I have nothing but admiration for the staff at Coniston House. At all times they help to create a happy atmosphere, whilst showing care and affection to the residents.
My father is well into his second year as a resident and is happy and content. The abundance of varied activities is a big factor.
Thanks to management and the wonderful staff.

My mother has been a resident for nearly a year. Both my mother and all our family are delighted with every aspect the home provides. She is well cared for, meals are excellent and the activities are varied and well thought out. The respect and dignity shown by every staff member are second to none.
Family visitors are treated as friends and are warmly welcome. Outstanding AAA+

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.418)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.418) out of 10 for Coniston House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.904 for Coniston House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.904

  • 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 4.514 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coniston House Care Home 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.814

  • 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.

Donna Marsden

Job Title: Registered Home Manager

I have worked in social care for over 30 years. Starting off as a Carer in a small residential home, I have progressed through the ranks as a Senior carer and then Deputy Manager.


My first role as a registered Manager was in 2007 and since then I have gained a wide range of experience within the care sector from small companies to the larger cooperative ones.


I have completed NVQs at levels 2 3 4, the Registered Managers award and a certificate in Leadership and Management.


Before starting work with Rochcare I was employed as a Peripatetic Manager travelling around the Country.


I enjoy working in Chorley, as it is my home town and I get job satisfaction knowing I am providing a safe and high standard of care for my local community who live with Dementia.


Kirsty

Kirsty Thompson

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2015

I have worked at Coniston House for 5 years, starting here as a senior carer, I was then promoted into a Team leader position in 2016. And in October I was promoted to Deputy Manager.


I am very passionate about the level of care that we give and also the progress that the home has made. I've worked closely alongside the previous Deputy and the Manager, supporting them in the general day to day running of the home.


I attend regular training sessions keeping my knowledge and skills up to date, I also achieved a NVQ level 5 management and leadership award last year.


I am the home’s medication champion, providing and ensuring the safe practice of administration of medications. I train and update senior staff our systems, ensuring competency assessments are in place for administering medication.


Coniston House is beautiful caring home,


I am proud to be part of the team.


Vivien

Vivien Holland

Job Title: Activity Coordinator

Joined: 2015

I have worked at Coniston for almost 4 years starting as a Care Assistant. A year ago, I was asked if I would change my role to that of activities coordinator, this has been one of the best decisions I have made.


I attend pre-admission assessments with the Managers to introduce myself to the residents and their Families before they come into the home, letting them know about all the wonderful activities we do here.


I am passionate about providing person-centred activities to our Residents and in turn promoting the home. All the Residents and staff have lots of ‘Bright Moments’ at Coniston.


As well as the day to day in house activities such as the choir, bingo afternoons armchair exercises and pampering we also have weekly trips to the supermarket and the pub.


We also hold lots of fund-raising events and anything raised contributes to the bigger outings, for example, The Farm, The seaside, and local Pantomime.


Jane

Jane Green

Job Title: Care Assistant

Joined: 2011

I have worked at Coniston House for over 9 years, starting as a night carer.
I decided after a while that I would like to apply for the day carer role that had become available.


However, not long afterwards I started working in the kitchen as a cook.
I soon realised that I was missing the interaction with the residents by being in the kitchen, so I decided to return to care.


I know now that working within the social care industry is where I want to be, so I am currently undergoing training for more of a senior role. I would love to take on more responsibility and training in the skills required for medication administration.


I feel that I am a very caring individual and I am passionate about my job, caring and interacting with the residents is the favourite part of my job. I find the whole aspect of social care extremely rewarding.


I am currently completing my NVQ Level 3 in social care.
