Thank you for taking the time to review Knowle Gate Care Home in Knowle. Firstly, may I apologise that you feel that your husband is not having a fulfilling activity programme. After receiving your concerns, I arranged a follow up meeting with the well-being team to support them on ideas on providing more meaningful personal, community/social activities. We thought it would be a great idea to invite friends/family to come and join me and the well-being team to support/get involved with developing a more meaningful activities programme. Provisional dates will be arranged for August which will be sent out via email or phone. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information. Best wishes,

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Knowle Gate Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.761 for Knowle Gate Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.761
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 Knowle Gate Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 25 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 25 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.
