The Well-being coordinator is fab and organises some lovely events trying to involve all residents and families, even if they can't physically attend. I'd recommend Harcourt Gardens, it feels more like a small community than a Nursing or Residential Home!

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that your visit to see your sister was not as you would have hoped, but am glad to hear that the hairdresser improved things. I have seen her since in her community and chatted with her and she was very happy and content. I hope this eases any concerns but please be assured I am always on the end of the phone if you wish to check on her.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.555) out of 10 for Harcourt 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.555 for Harcourt Gardens is calculated as follows: ( (328 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 454 Ratings = 4.555
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 Harcourt Gardens is based on 35 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 115 registered maximum number of service users is 23, which has been reached with 35 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
As a home manager, the most important part of my role is to make sure residents are well and feel safe.
It is a role that takes a lot of strength and a level head. It also needs you to be fair and impartial.
Being able to spend time with residents and their friends and relatives is one of my favourite parts of the day. It is wonderful to see residents smile. It also fills me with pride to know that families trust us to care for their loved ones.
I have a level five qualification in management and leadership, but I’ve also worked in care for 25 years. During that time, I was nominated by Plymouth City Council as a leader in care, which was a career highlight. I chose to join Care UK because it feels like an innovative organisation.
Outside of work, I really value my family time, it really is the best thing ever.
