Review from Wendy G (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum was cared for at Westcliff Lodge for many years. During that time she was always treated with love and kindness. We never had any worries that her needs weren't being taken care of, even when her condition deteriorated and she was unable to communicate. The staff at Westcliff Lodge really knew
our mum and treated her as an individual with care and compassion. We cannot thank past and present staff enough for the support and love shown to us, as well as our mum, during her time at The Lodge.

Review from J C (Sister of Resident) published on 22 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister was very content whilst in your care. We found that the staff could not have been more kind and caring. Although Covid caused problems, the management went out of their way to make sure my sister had visitors or video calls which we all found a great help.

Lovely caring team in lovely rooms. The food is great and residents seem very happy to be there. Residents are cared for as individuals and allowed to be their own person, which makes for a very relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Review from B W (Friend of Resident) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is in a lovely position near Westcliff seafront and in a quiet road. Good parking and good transport links if visiting by train.
There are two pleasant lounges and the rooms are very pleasant of which some have a sunny aspect and some with views of the sea. The staff keep the home very clean
including the resident's rooms. The food here is excellent and the home is very fortunate to have a chef that has been with the home many years. Visitors are offered lunch if their visits coincide with lunch time.
The staff are very kind and gentle with the residents and do their best to make sure the residents are comfortable.
All the residents were relaxed and, as far as they could be, happy in their surroundings.
Visitors are welcomed and the senior staff keep relatives or close friends informed of the health and well-being of their loved ones.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.295)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.295) out of 10 for Westcliff 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.645 for Westcliff Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.645
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westcliff Lodge is based on 8 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 = 3.65
    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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 8 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.
