My mother has stayed two weeks of a four-week respite, recovering from a bad fall at home. At first, she was extremely resistant to any help at home, cleaners or carers coming in to help her so the prospect of a care home was awful to her. However, after just a few days at Penhurst Gardens she has joined
in with every activity offered, enjoyed meeting new friends and has been a revelation to all the family. It has been a touching thing to witness as she is so enjoying the company and care she has been given here. She seems very happy here!

Penhurst Gardens is a bright, lively care home with amazing staff. Wonderful, caring and nothing is too much trouble!
The staff have done the extra mile to make sure my relative is happy. My mother-in-law is possibly the nicest, kindest person I have ever met and deserves the special care and attention
that she receives at Penhurst Gardens. I cannot thank the staff enough.

I cannot put into words how happy and reassured I feel with the high level of care my nan has received at Penhurst Gardens.
There has been a massive improvement in my nan's outlook and that is due to the staff, nothing is ever too much trouble and they go out of their way to make sure my nan is comfortable
and happy.
My nan means the world to me and staff enable her through their care to help her to be the person she always was.

My Mum-in-law is so happy here, all the staff and carers could not be any better in looking after all the residents.
The activities they do are excellent and Mum-in-law joins in everything she can and also she has made friends with residents and all staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Penhurst Gardens 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.784 for Penhurst Gardens Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 301 Ratings = 4.784

  • 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 Penhurst Gardens Care Home is based on 26 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 26 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.
