Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Mayfair Lodge: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 8.6 (maximum of 10) for Mayfair Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 8 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Mayfair Lodge in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.074 for Mayfair Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (29 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.074
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.565 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mayfair Lodge is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 12.4 positive Reviews (62 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 12.4 Target = 0.565
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Mayfair Lodge has a Review Score of 8.6 (8.639) from 8 Reviews

One of the carers has been outstanding in helping my pre-teen daughter begin to overcome her fear of entering the dementia unit to visit a relative. Things were explained to her in a simple way that encouraged her to visit.

As a new client to the care home facility, I must praise Mayfair Lodge as being very efficient and caring and welcoming to what is truly a tough decision to a family with a parent with dementia. My father has settled in extremely well and I find all the staff members and carers extremely efficient and caring. I highly recommend this care home! If I had to nitpick it's just a shame that more one to one care can't be available to the residents who desperately need communication.

I was very impressed with the bright, cheerful and welcoming environment. Private rooms and public areas were all very clean. Most importantly the staff were so friendly and helpful and made the atmosphere very warm and professional.

Good overall service but would be better if more permanent staff were on duty and less agency staff. Not good for the continuation and ongoing care of residents.

From day one of visiting Mayfair Lodge, I have felt comfortable leaving my father there. The staff are generally kind, caring and attentive to residents' needs. My father has settled and is happy and content generally, and I can leave feeling comfortable that he is looked after in a clean, comfortable environment. I am kept informed about things I need to be and am happy.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Jo J (Relative of Resident) on Wednesday 9 September 2015. Relates to September 2015.
Care in the home is pretty good, could be a bit more interest for residents but you are busy. Rooms and toilets very clean and well kept. Staff mostly friendly and helpful, some more so than others. Management efficient, not always clear to as to "rules". Best looking care home, apart from another nearby care home, but that is a private one. Sometimes staff are a bit low if someone wants to go to the toilet. Although half the time they don't want to go anyway. On the whole Mayfair is not too bad.
