Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Corner Lodge is a very good care home considering all the challenges they face at this time. I try to visit my mum once a week, and the staff are helpful with regard to this. This is a very busy home but the staff do their very best with most residents having dementia of some sort. I would recommend
this care home to others.

We have found that everyone is very very good with our dad and so good to everyone here. It is very much like home. They look after all very well. My dad is very happy with all the staff and one staff member in particular is loved by us all very much. Thank you so much for looking after my dad and my
dear mum before she passed. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father is here at Corner Lodge and has been for approximately 3 years. My mother was also here along with my dad before she passed away in 2016. So I have visited this home on a regular basis all that time. During which, my parents both have always been cared for with love, gentleness, kindness and
treated with dignity at all times. I would and do recommend this home to one and all.

We are always made to feel welcome. My mum is well cared for and it is always taken into account about her need for privacy. She is not a sociable person but is never forced to join in. Carers are fantastic and any issues are always dealt with.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Corner Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.641 for Corner Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.641
  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 Corner Lodge is based on 12 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
