Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother has been at this home since it opened. It has seen several changes of manager and ownership. On entering the home I was assured and had it in writing that when mums money ran out we would not be liable for "topping up" social service rates. When the latest people took over and when mum's
money ran down to government minimum they asked us as family to "top up" her weekly/monthly money and they stated they had no record of a written letter. Fortunately, I did! We do not have to top up. Overall care has improved, carers seem "kinder" to my mum and more tolerant of her needs.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.132)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.132) out of 10 for Magdalen House Care Home 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 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 4.772 for Magdalen House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 79 Ratings = 4.772

  • 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 4.36 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magdalen 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.66

  • 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.
