Thank you for your feedback. Our aim was to ensure that all residents had the chance to attend our Summer Fayre. To make this possible, we brought in additional staff who, dressed in their own clothes and assisted in helping residents in and out. We also extended invitations to families and friends to join their loved ones at the event. Since residents could not be left unaccompanied, we had to organise their participation in small groups. Additionally, some residents preferred to remain inside, so we ensured that there was sufficient staff available within the home. I can assure you that every resident was given the opportunity to attend the fayre that day. Kindest regards

Thank you for your kind comments about our carers and activities staff. In relation to your comment about agency staff - please note that like the vast majority of care businesses in England, we are challenged every day by the shortage of carers in the industry (circa 150,000). We are fully aware of this issue and actively recruit every day. We don’t use agency staff by choice.
Our staffing complement on the floor comfortably meets accepted ratios and that doesn’t include the Deputy Managers and Registered Manager. A new Registered Manager started in post on 8th January and is already delivering great results, including with culture and staff motivation. Our main purpose, day in and day out, is to deliver the best service we can to our residents. Despite the challenges faced by, for example, the staffing shortage, our commitment to our residents remains resolute. If you would like to discuss any issues further, please contact our reception and ask to speak to Michelle Francis.

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.807) out of 10 for Damfield Gardens is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.585 for Damfield Gardens is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.585
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 4.222 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Damfield Gardens 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.522
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.
