Review from John G (Son of Resident) published on 10 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the care and support that my mother receives. I always find her happy and more importantly clean and respectable. Mum loves going out and the Activities Coordinator has been very helpful and looks after my mother on frequent afternoon trips. The staff at the home work hard and often
under difficult conditions - but this never stops them smiling or passing the time of day and visitors and residents.

Review from Richard N (Son of Resident) published on 6 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very friendly staff and carers. They all clearly do everything they can to help and understand the needs and wishes of the residents and treat them with respect. The lounges and the dining room are very spacious and the carers intermingle with the residents whenever possible. All pretty impressive with
clearly strong management in-place.

Review from Susan T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 26 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We as a family find them wonderful. They are very caring and unbelievably kind. Now that my mother-in-law has become increasingly debilitated they are giving her superlative care. They are all very warm hearted and she responds to this. The management is amazing always working out what will make her
feel better together with the carers. Today they got to walk which is incredible. Since her stroke in August, she has been confined to her bed and it was unlikely she would walk again. Due to their determination, encouragement and love at Sydmar Lodge they got her walking today. We are overwhelmed.

Review from Juliet M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sydmar Lodge's staff were absolutely fantastic with my Mother who had to go there for 5 week's respite whilst her kitchen was being fixed after she had a flood. I had very little time to sort out respite care for her and phoned Sydmar Lodge since it was fairly local to where my Mother lives. From the
moment I spoke to the Manager, I knew my Mum would be in safe hands. My Mother was unsure about going into a care home but as she is a frail 81-year-old she needed to be looked after. My Mother and I went to view Sydmar Lodge to see the room she was going to be assigned to and we were taken around by the lovely Deputy Manager who answered all our questions and made my Mum feel at home. My Mum felt content although a little nervous and a few days later she moved in for respite care. She absolutely loved it, every member of the staff were excellent and the food was of high quality. She also loved the entertainment and joined in. She didn't want to come home!

Review from Rita B (Resident) published on 21 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found my time here as being almost on holiday. Staff are wonderful, everything is done to help me. I sold my 50-year-old house to live here and do not regret it. Food is good, most of the time, but sometimes is a bit too much. They do their best to keep us entertained, particularly the male staff.
One in particular, is marvellous. Would recommend it. First class. Entertainer a bit expensive but no choice.

I am extremely satisfied with the care provided for my mother-in-law and I feel assured she is safe and well attended. The manager and her deputy lead a team of dedicated carers in a friendly, helpful and responsible manner.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for Sydmar Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.794 for Sydmar Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.794
  2. 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sydmar Lodge is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    2. 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Julia Davey

Job Title: Registered Service Manager Joined: 2016

Before this, she worked as a Regional Manager for a large corporate care organisation, covering 9 care homes and 13 day centres. She is passionate about resident care, and missed the direct contact with people and their families, which is why she returned to Home Management, and chose Sydmar Lodge as it has always been known for it's family oriented atmosphere.
