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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, our experience with Corner Lodge has been excellent. Grandma is really enjoying her time here, she has returned to be more like the grandma we knew. Since coming to Corner Lodge she has developed a great sense of humour. The entertainment keeps her physically and mentally active. We cannot
thank all the staff enough for the care they give Grandma. As quoted to me by her 'being here (Corner Lodge) is better than home!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been a resident here for over two and a half years. It was an excellent decision as she is safe, happy and well cared for. I visit most days and the staff (carers, managers and domestic) all welcome me by my first name. I sometimes share a meal with my wife and find the meals excellent.
The entertainment is first class and really varied. My wife enjoys the changes to her routine. Her room was redecorated this year and is now bright and colourful, like the public areas. No criticism to mention, every home could use Corner Lodge as a template.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.689 for Corner Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.689
  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 24 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 24 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.
