I have found the modern, clean, bright facilities to be an excellent environment. The staff, to my knowledge, are generally very caring and treat my mother with dignity. Communication between staff and family members is good and a considerable amount of effort appears to go into organising activities
for residents.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Ringdufferin is a very homely Nursing Home where the staff are very efficient, professional, and friendly when carrying out their duties. The residents are treated with respect, caring, and to personal needs. There is a close working relationship between Nursing staff, Doctors, and Care Partners with
the resident's medical needs always a priority. There are always different activities for residents programmed every week which forms a sense of belonging and comradeship. The meals are excellent and cater for many different diets i.e. Diabetes. The Management staff are very good and keep relations informed of any illness, changes in any COVID-19 regulations to enable the Nursing Home to be COVID-19 free. There are Day Lounges both upstairs and down for residents who are mobile to enjoy television, radio, and CD/DVD players and meet other residents for chat and company so they do not feel alone. The Home is kept exceptionally clean and hygienic and is of a very high standard.

I am overall very pleased with the care and attention my father receives at Ringdufferin Nursing Home. He is treated with respect and dignity by every member of staff, from the nurses, management and admin, domestic and maintenance staff. They are always willing to assist dad when needed and happy to
pass the time of day with chats and going out around the grounds, which he really enjoys. He has attended a few of the special days which have been laid on (he enjoys the live music). A special mention to the carers who surprised dad on his birthday with a cake and happy birthday rendition. He was so pleased.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) out of 10 for Ringdufferin Nursing 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.870 for Ringdufferin Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.87

  • 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 Ringdufferin Nursing Home is based on 17 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
