Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt message. Your kind words mean more to us than we can express, and they serve as a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. We are deeply grateful to have the privilege of caring for your mum and it is truly wonderful to hear that the care and compassion we strive to provide every day bring comfort to her and to your family. Knowing that she feels safe, valued and supported is the highest compliment we could receive. Your recognition of our team's patience, warmth and professionalism touches us deeply. I would also like to highlight the special mention of our team member who went above and beyond to ensure continuity of care for your mum while she was in the hospital. It is gestures like these-driven by genuine care and commitment-that reflect the heart of our team. Your gratitude inspires us to continue working hard to make every day brighter for those we care for.

Thank you for your kind feedback and high rating. We sincerely apologise for the issues you encountered. The kettle has now been replaced with a brand-new one, as the initial new kettle was unfortunately broken on arrival. Regarding the odour, while rare, such occurrences can happen in a care home environment but we are actively working to address this and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort. We truly value your understanding and ongoing support.

Thank you for taking the time to review Abbot and I am so pleased that we are supporting Mum in a way that is making her feel comfortable and you yourselves can see that Abbot is having a positive impact on Mum's physical and emotional well-being. As a team we work hard to try and ensure that the transition into a nursing home environment is as smooth as possible. Please do let us know if there is anything Mum would like us to review to assist her. Thank you again for your kind words. Kind regards, Ruth.

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.369) out of 10 for Abbot Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 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 4.728 for Abbot Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 173 Ratings = 4.728
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 4.641 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbot Care Home is based on 15 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 117 registered maximum number of service users is 23.4. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.4 = 0.641
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.
