My husband was always well cared for and clean and suitably dressed.
Although caring can be very taxing and frustrating I did not ever see this in any of the staff.
He seemed content and comfortable in his years at Warren Lodge.

When my mother needed a home it was a no brainer for us, my Grandmother too had used the home and it's specializing in dementia.
Everyone at the home is very caring and supportive of my mother and give me no doubt she is in the best place. They always have time for us and her when visiting and they
care for her like she was one of their own.

My mother has been a resident at Warren Lodge for nearly two years. Pre COVID I was able to visit freely, so I got to know the staff and the running of the care home very well.
Throughout the difficult times, the staff have been fantastic in caring for our loved ones.
I now visit in the beautiful
garden, which has paths around it, where my mother and I enjoy walking together and then we can rest in her room and spend quality time with each other.
We are always supplied with the required PPE equipment and the staff are thorough at checking our test results.
Her dementia has naturally progressed but I am confident when I go home that she is happy and looked after, and that her individual needs are catered for.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Warren Lodge.

My husband has had a year in Warren Lodge and his condition was extremely challenging. He needed 24-hour watching due to never keeping still so was prone to falls. He had already been to hospital before he went into Warren Lodge with a hip fracture. I cannot praise the staff enough. He died a few days
ago and they made him so comfortable and treated him with so much kindness and respect, I cannot thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Warren Lodge for well over a year now. From the very beginning, she has been very happy there and is always telling me how well looked after she is. Having to place a loved one into a care home is never an easy or straightforward decision, and a lot of time and consideration
is needed when selecting the one that most meets their needs. My sister and I did a lot of research and took a lot of information into consideration before deciding what would suit mum best. Ultimately we decided on Warren Lodge and I have to say that at no point have we regretted the decision to put her in their care. Mum's needs and requirements are always well met or exceeded and we have had very good support throughout especially given the ongoing situation with COVID. At no point in the past year have I had to worry about whether mum was being looked after. All my calls are greeted with a happy voice telling me how happy and well looked after she is.

I would like to say that after living at Warren Lodge for a few months now, I am happy to say that I am making the decision to stay permanently. My reasons are that the staff are very nice and look after me very well. They are friendly, happy and they make me happy and smile every day. Before coming
to Warren Lodge, I lived at my own home for many years, and I don't think I ever wanted to leave my home. However, when the time came for me to need more help and support, I am glad I came to Warren Lodge. I have everything here now, and this is my home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Warren Lodge is bright and airy and the gardens are lovely to look out upon and walk around at any time of the year but especially in the warmer months when they come into their own. Mum has been a resident since December 2017 and all the team know her well. Her advanced dementia means active communication
is very difficult, however, the carers understand her needs and always treat her with love, dignity and a great deal of patience. This has always been a great comfort to her family but particularly in the past year, when we have been unable to see her as often as we would hope. As a visitor, I have always found staff and residents alike to be friendly and welcoming and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Warren Lodge to anybody seeking care provision.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to make the very difficult decision to move my beloved Godmother from her long-time home in Essex in 2016 as her dementia had worsened and she needed full-time care. How lucky we were to find Warren Lodge. Not only was it very local, meaning I could visit often, but it gave her a new lease of
life where she enjoyed the socialising, the company of other residents, trips out, activities and entertainment. She settled in very quickly and had made a new best friend within a few weeks. She loved having her hair done, her nails painted and generally being pampered. She regained her appetite and enjoyed the excellent meals prepared by the catering team and I was welcome to join her for meals. I cannot praise the Manager and his team highly enough for their wonderful care of my Godmother throughout the five years when Warren Lodge was her home. She was always treated with love, kindness, dignity, and respect. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In late June 2020, I had to make the most difficult of decisions as I had reached the time when I could no longer cope with care for my wife as she suffered with Vascular Dementia. Having visited a number of care homes, I instinctively knew that Warren Lodge was right for her needs. I soon realised
that I had made the right decision. Yes, the initial period of isolation due to the pandemic was difficult for us both, but I soon observed that she was quite comfortable in the presence of staff members always smiling with them and that told me she was more than comfortable and that she was content. I also saw that she was kept clean and always dressed in her matching outfits, no mean feat in the circumstances. In the four months, she was at Warren Lodge, I found the staff to be caring, patient and very professional. I put this down to the leadership of the manager. My wife had been a care manager, and she received the care she herself strove for others.

My husband was admitted to Warren Lodge when he was weak and disabled, in what turned out to be his last fortnight of living with dementia. I had previous knowledge of the home and knew it to be a very caring, professional environment. All the staff cared for him so well at this very difficult time
and I saw how hard they all worked to keep residents happy. They really cared about him and he settled in immediately; feeling safe and reassured and I was welcomed too. Now one of my next-door neighbour has gone to live there, her children found it themselves after looking around local homes. If I need care in the future I would be happy to go there myself.

When my sister-in-law and I viewed Warren Lodge, we came away feeling it had a warm and caring feel. The Manager took time with us and answered all of our questions. My mother-in-law has been a resident now for 4 months and the provisions and care they have put in place and provide is 10/10. Nothing
is ever too much trouble and even through these uncertain times with COVID, all staff greet you with a smile and a warm welcome. If like us, you are worried about where to start looking for a care home for your loved one, I would highly recommend Warren Lodge.

I found the Care Manager extremely helpful, friendly and they spent a lot of time with us prior to my aunt and uncle moving into the home. Nothing was too much trouble and our minds were put at ease immediately. We were shown around safely and the house and grounds are beautiful. Over the last 2 months,
we have found the staff and manager so friendly, welcoming and they keep us fully informed about everything. We have seen great improvements with both my aunt and uncle and the transition from moving them was easier and less stressful than we ever imagined due to the helpfulness of the manager and all the staff. Thank you for making us feel so connected with our family, even during the pandemic. I also like the social media aspect and can see what different activities the residents are doing each week. Thank you.

After spending an hour talking to the care manager in a pre-admission chat...I knew that Warren Lodge was the place for us. His professionalism and obvious dedication made our minds up before we were shown round a lovely room where my sister-in-law and husband would call home. In just a matter of weeks,
the improvement shown by them both were beyond expectation. The staff are so friendly, and nothing is too much trouble..always going the extra mile. Highly recommended.

Myself and the rest of the family of my mother feel very fortunate to have been able to secure a placement at Warren House for her. The love and care I saw shown towards her was all I could have wished for during the last months of her life. Particularly as it was the time of the pandemic and we are
very grateful to the team for the way she was looked after during these difficult times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Warren Lodge care home to anyone in a similar situation.

Warren Lodge is the most welcoming home. The staff and management have been so helpful during these trying times of Covid19, looking after my wife and keeping her smiling, looking very well and entertained. Visiting in the lovely garden during the summer Warren Lodge supplying PPE. This has been a wonderful
decision for me and my family to move here since the last home closed down last year nothing is to much trouble for the staff, so relaxing. The manager has always had time to discuss any matters with you. Thanks very much to all the staff.

What a wonderful experience my visit was to see two of our members and friends from The Daffodil Club (for those living with dementia and their carers). With the Covid restrictions being extremely tight for care homes I hadn't expected my visit to be so relaxed and enjoyable, wearing a mask and keeping
the social distancing creates a barrier but for those living with dementia the barrier is extreme. However, the manager greeted me warmly and took me to my friends who were in a lovely bright garden area chatting with a carer. We were served refreshments and then spent a lovely time reminiscing. During my two visits, I saw residents planting autumn bedding with carers as well as other indoor activities going on through the windows. On my second visit to celebrate my friend's birthday I was amazed to see balloons around the gazebo where we were to sit and staff and residents joined us to sing happy birthday! Thank you to the manager and carers for giving us such a wonderful time.

It is my pleasure to review my wife’s in-house experience in Warren Lodge, Wokingham.
The Management Team under the Centre Manager are excellent and his staff benefit greatly from a continuous improvement daily programme which is also of great benefit to the residents.
The Care Team at Warren Lodge
go to great lengths to make their patients feel genuinely loved and this is often reciprocated, certainly in my wife’s case. She loves the food and she being a performer enjoys the freedom given by the nurses to express herself in song. Security is of a high standard without imposing too many restrictions.
I give Warren Lodge five stars.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Warren Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.956 for Warren Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (541 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 566 Ratings = 4.956
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Warren Lodge is based on 48 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 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
    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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 48 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.
