Grafton Lodge is a Care Home in Strood, Rochester that provides care to the elderly and those with dementia. Their goal is to provide a homely and happy environment and to promote the highest standards of care through their team of dedicated carers.

The home is based in a large, double story detached house that is able to provide care for up to 22 residents. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and many are equipped with en-suite facilities. A lift is available for access to the first floor along with a stair-lift. There is a large-sized main lounge which is split into two different themed areas and there is also an additional room known as the ‘garden room’ which provides an alternative environment for relaxing. They have recently installed a large-sized mural of a 1950s post-office which serves as a pleasant trip down memory lane for residents when they walk past it. The residents are able to benefit from the use of the garden area with its own tables and chairs which can serve as a pleasing environment to meet with friends and family.

Staff feel very strongly about treating residents with the respect and dignity they deserve. The team are extremely fortunate to have their own in-house well-being coordinator who is constantly generating great ideas to help stimulate and entertain guests. Recent examples include art pieces made from Autumn leaves, dancing, making and painting Christmas decorations and having an in-house spa day. There is also a weekly quiz which many of the residents look forward to. The home is also fortunate to have a great team of carers who are very dedicated and passionate about their work with the residents. They will also frequently think 'outside the box' and find different ways to stimulate residents

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Grafton 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.932 for Grafton Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.932
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 Grafton Lodge is based on 10 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
