Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I feel that the staff are always welcoming and helpful. The home always smells clean and tidy. I also feel that nothing is too much for all staff. They really go over and above. The manager runs the home very well.

Review from H C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Lodge is a wonderful and caring environment and we have been really pleased with the support given to my father. Staff are kind and friendly both to residents and family members. They have a good routine and nothing is too much trouble. They liaise well with family and health professionals. They
are compassionate and make sure they know what residents like. The manager is approachable and keeps me well-informed. The food seems good and the rooms are clean. Activities are organised for residents with regular visits from others like support dogs and local preschools. Residents can choose what they take part in. I would certainly recommend The Lodge.

Have never met such a welcoming team. Carers are exceptional with a very clean environment. Well looked after with a manager who beyond doubt cares about her job and the residents and is always available.

Review from Ian P (Son of Resident) published on 11 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mom has been a resident here for over 10 years, due to her caring needs. Over this entire period she has been looked after like it is her own home. The staff go more than the extra mile to look after everyone to the highest levels of care, and find the time to see to all their personal needs as well.
I always have peace of mind, the staff always keep me informed of any changes, and are always approachable. Couldn't have asked for a better care home to see my mom comfortably living out her final years, with the knowledge that she is being looked after properly. Five massive stars to all at The Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for The 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.809 for The Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 293 Ratings = 4.809
  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 The Lodge is based on 25 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 25 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.
