I have been very impressed by the care my mother has received at Cavell Lodge. The staff are pleasant and helpful and I like the atmosphere. I only visit once a month as I live over 350 miles away but I speak to my mother almost daily so I hear about what happens e.g. outings which are arranged - in
normal circumstances of course. And other features, whether nail care, painting flower pots, gentle dance, a regular visit and songs from a school class - these are just some examples. All practical issues are dealt with promptly. I am on their mailing list and get regular updates of what is happening, and why they have taken decisions.

The manager and his staff were excellent. My mother was 98 at the beginning and wanted to return home. After two months her almost final words to me said she had decided that she was happy at the home and wanted to stay.

An excellent care home where staff really know the residents and treat them like family. Rooms are clean bright and residents choice of colours decor etc. is listened to. The food is very good and well presented with plenty of choice.
Activities are very inclusive if residents wish to participate
but there are also quiet areas for peace and reflection. It is a pleasure to visit Cavell Lodge and the running of the home just gets better and better.

My mother has been a service user since January 2018 and I have to say the care she receives is first class . The staff are compassionate and dedicated, led by a fantastic senior team. The manager's attention to detail in the running of Cavell Lodge is exceptional and as a family, we couldn’t be happier
with the level of care my mum receives. Every day there are activities for the residents to enjoy, from pot painting and plant potting to singing and film mornings. she also enjoys having a manicure and having her hair done once a week. The activity coordinator is passionate and engaging and makes the sessions fun and interesting, there is always something going on at Cavell Lodge. I know my mum is really looking forward to the royal wedding in May as she is getting involved in the organisation of a garden party to celebrate. I highly recommend Cavell Lodge and I feel safe in the knowledge that my mum is getting the very best care available. Thank you to all the team involved in her care.

My nan has been a resident of Cavell Lodge since early 2017. I find all the staff to be most attentive, kind and caring towards all the residents. I have to particularly highlight that since the new manager took over the difference has been incredible. He works tirelessly to improve the quality of staff
and care and he has done a tremendous job, thank you.

Our mother's physical and mental health has improved enormously since living at Cavell, which is as a direct result of the consistent professional standard of care provided by ALL levels of staff at Cavell Lodge. On every random visit, we see our lovely Mother being treated respectfully, as an individual
and with GENUINE affection, which we feel has been key to the improvement we see in her physical well-being, her self-esteem and confidence. It is an enormous comfort to the family that she is being given the best possible chance to live as happily as possible at this difficult stage of her life. We know her needs will change over time and have confidence that the care provided will keep pace with her changing needs. Our Mother has settled in very quickly to living at Cavell Lodge.

My mum has been in the nursing home for nearly two years. Overall they have done a lot to help my mum come to terms with the changes in her life. She will be 92 in February, I myself and family do everything we can to help her with the long days. The care staff are lovely and do their best for everybody.
I am so lucky to have my mum at Carvel Nursing Home. It's never easy when your mum can never do anything for herself, she still has a brain and can communicate and is a very strong person. Thank you to you all for the care you give - a job I could not do.

Our mum came to Cavell Lodge in February 2016. Sadly mum wasn't there very long, but the care and support they gave our mum and the family was excellent - nothing was too much trouble. We could visit anytime.

My Aunt has been resident at Cavell Lodge for 18 months. Needing to find accommodation at short notice, I believe we were lucky to find a vacancy here. The lodge is purpose built and bright and has a more hotel-like feel than some other homes I have visited in the area. The staff are friendly, and there
is always a good atmosphere. My Aunt has been in good health since moving in, having been hospitalised on three occasions immediately beforehand. We have had no issues - my Aunt eats better than she would do at home, has more company than she would get at home, and is supported in those day to day activities that she could no longer manage at home. Care is expensive, but I do feel that my Aunt gets value for money at Cavell Lodge. None of us wants to go into care, but when infirmity demands that level of support, there is no choice. The choice is where we go, and I am very content with Cavell Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Cavell Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.860 for Cavell Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.86

  • b) 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 Cavell Lodge is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
