Review from Jane D (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Pinewood Lodge is a clean and friendly place. My mum is treated with respect at all times and she receives the best possible care. She is loved and cared for in the most professional and caring way. I have no doubt that we are giving my mum the best, the staff are always happy, friendly and kind. Nothing
is ever too much trouble. I would recommend this amazing care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother who has been in Pinewood Lodge for the last three years has always had excellent care. All carers have treated her with extreme kindness and dignity.
All the staff are friendly and can't be more helpful. The food and cleanliness are superb and I would not hesitate to recommend Pinewood Lodge
to anyone looking for a care home.

Excellent service all round, but I would prefer it if the day care hours were extended until at least 5pm.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for Pinewood 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.648 for Pinewood Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 193 Ratings = 4.648
  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 Pinewood Lodge is based on 17 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 17 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.
