Dear Annetta, thank you so much for your review. We have recently found that some of the workload was being delegated to certain members of our team and that the care work was not being shared equally: putting pressure on some. We have since started to rectify this issue and hope that your mum has noticed an improved experience. We are glad you see the home is well staffed and we work hard to ensure that we continue to maintain a very low turnover of care staff, which has been repeatedly reported across the industry sector as an issue over the past couple of years. Over 50% of our team has now been with us for five or more years!
Thank you for your continued support of our home, we are so fortunate to have loving, supportive family members to help us provide the best experience for our residents.

Dear R T,
Many thanks for your kind review. Yes, we too are hoping to get back to normal and give your dad the full "Felbury Experience!". Making up for the lost time, we have already organised this year's trip to Buckingham Palace, and Littlehampton and various other events which we normally enjoy! In the meantime, we want to thank you and your family for supporting us during these difficult times and for your kind words about the team.

Thank you very much for your kind review, your mum is a pivotal member of our social family and we were so glad she decided she wanted to stay and make it her home. I see we only got 4 stars for activities, but don't you worry: we are working on that and your mum will really enjoy seeing what we have planned for this year!

Thanks so much for your kind words, yes you’re so right: it’s been a difficult year for us! But Residents like your dad helped us stay positive with their sunny attitude and keenness to do activities and fundraise etc. during lockdown. It was a team effort of us and you keeping everyone safe so thank you for your support. It was a pleasure to be part of your dad’s life.

Your father was such a lovely gentleman, it really was our pleasure to care for him. I can’t recall a single day that he didn’t have a smile on his face. He will be missed by us all.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I am glad you mentioned your dad's fondness for spicy foods: he's not mentioned it to me, but we will now organise something for him. Pre-covid, we loved to take residents out to their favourite restaurants for something special: so I look forward to arranging a nice Indian meal for him very soon.

It is completely our pleasure to give our help with anything. My favourite part of my job is you giving me a shopping list and me being able to fulfill it for you; I much prefer doing jobs like this then all my paperwork in the office. It is such a privilege to look after you and I look forward to seeing you every time I come in.

I know making that move from your independent home was a big decision for you and I am glad that we could support you positively with that, it's nice to hear that you still feel content with that decision. I look forward to being able to take you to local attractions again very soon so that we can start 2021 as we intended!

We are often surprised ourselves at how soon people feel settled! A little love can make the transition easy. It’s always good to hear when residents are dancing “You don’t stop dancing because you get old: you get old because you stop dancing!”

Thank you so much for your kind review. Your mum was a really wonderful lady and made each day count; she was an absolute "Joy" to care for and made our work so rewarding. As you know your mum inspired us to create the "Bucket List of things to do before we're 101" and she carried on way past that!, Your mum will never be forgotten at Felbury and our bucket list of activities: Buckingham Palace and The Ritz etc. will be her legacy.

Welcome to Felbury! Thank you for your initial review. I am so glad you feel settled and happy, however; I noticed that we have not received full marks in all areas yet. After speaking with you I am glad you are looking forward to experiencing our virtual reality tour of "Sydney & Ayre's Rock" to remind you of your travels Down Under and some of our more gentle activities. We will strive to ensure that you remain "happy and well cared for", thank you!

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Felbury House Residential 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.866 for Felbury House Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.866
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 Felbury House Residential Care Home is based on 16 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 16 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.
