The Review Score of 7.8 (maximum of 10) for Tudor Lodge EMI/Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 10 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Tudor Lodge EMI/Residential Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 4.311 for Tudor Lodge EMI/Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.311
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 3.477 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tudor Lodge EMI/Residential Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 = 3.25
Target of 8.8 positive Reviews (44 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 2 Reviews ÷ 8.8 Target = 0.227
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Tudor Lodge EMI/Residential Home has a Review Score of 7.8 (7.788) from 10 Reviews

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Clive S (Son of Resident) on Tuesday 22 August 2017. Relates to July 2017.
I like the home. We visited mum recently and we like to take her out and about.
The room is decorated nicely and roomy with family pictures and a TV. The food is good and my mum really likes her food. Lots of activities to keep them happy within the home. Some items of clothing do go missing from time to time even though we put her name in them but that is to be expected in a large home.
The only downside is that we have to pay for everything as Social Services wouldn't help us enough financially. Even after my parents worked their whole lives, Social Services just doesn't give us enough funding whereas there are others that get full funding without having to do very much.
I do feel that the staff are saints with what they have to put up with. If I have any concerns, then I just speak to someone and it gets sorted quickley.

Tudor Lodge is steadily improving and currently undergoing redecoration. The staff work very very hard and are helpful and friendly. The general cleanliness has improved but I would like to see more choice with the menu and more fresh fruit and vegetables.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Paula M (Friend of Resident) on Tuesday 29 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
I am happy with what I see and hear whilst visiting Tudor Lodge. My friend, even with his dementia, seems happy and cared for. His room, when I've gone upstairs, is nice and clean. Staff are polite and show empathy when speaking to other residents. I am happy to see the building and outdoor areas are being refurbished. I have only had one concern which was regarding another resident's aggressive behaviour which, I spoke to a staff member, she was aware of the situation, hence a one to one carer was allocated for the short time she was there. I have always maintained a good rapport with staff who I see are doing a very difficult job, hence the turnover earlier in the year, however, the staff seem to be settled (from what I see).

My aunt said "It's a fairly friendly place. They do not interfere too much, if they see that you can get on, they let you".
"Food is okay and usually the right amount. They go through the menu with you to see what you like".
"Cleanliness is good".
"I miss having things to do. Would like to be able to discuss TV programmes/newspaper articles".
"I get regular hairdressing and chiropody".

The staff and management at 'Tudor Lodge Residential Home' have been so helpful and are always caring and professional. My Mum doesn't want any visitors and doesn't respond to me but she does respond to the staff. They have regular entertainment and hairdresser for the residents. They have been very helpful recently when my Mum had a stay in hospital. I would recommend 'Tudor Lodge Residential Home' in Folkestone.

I have always been totally happy with the care that my Dad receives in Tudor Lodge since he arrived in December 2013. They have responded so well to his changing needs as his condition deteriorates. I have also observed and been so impressed in the way they treat the different residents, whatever their requirements, with respect, warmth and cheerfulness. They are also wonderful to the family and I feel welcome and well informed.
