We are deeply sorry that you feel you have had a bad experience when in our home. At the point of pre-admission of all potential new customers, we work diligently with our partners and families to gather appropriate and trusted information, which forms the basis of decision-making around person-centred care needs, and whether or not as a care provider, we are able to successfully and safely meet a person’s care needs.
Unfortunately in this instance, the information we gathered from numerous sources, did not highlight the more complex aspects of your loved one's care requirements, which were only discovered once the admission had taken place. This is ultimately why this placement failed from the outset.
Again, we are truly sorry that this admission failed, and that you feel like you had a bad experience. We have taken a “ lessons learned” view of this experience and have made some changes to the way in which we gather information, which will assist us further with data collection

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Kendal 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 68 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 67 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 4.817 for Kendal Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (678 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 782 Ratings = 4.817
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 Kendal Care Home is based on 67 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 67 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.
