Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I find Adelaide Lodge a very friendly and caring place for my mother to stay at. Always something going on for my mother and other residents to take part in if they want to. If my mother has anything worrying with her medication, they will let me know straight away. I cannot fault the place.

We moved my father to Adelaide Lodge as it was near us. He had been in another care home 2 hours away. My sister and myself were concerned that he did not have much longer to live and I wanted to be more available. He was losing a lot of weight and never smiled. He has been in Adelaide for 4 months
now and all the staff have been wonderful with him. Our father is enjoying the home cooked food- the staff help him eat and he is much better. He smiles and laughs now! In addition the support to me and family is exceptional esp when he got ill. So glad we moved him!

My mother moved to Adelaide Lodge at the end of 2022 and has received very welcome and supportive care and attention. The home is very clean, and my mother's room is comfortable and practical. The staff and the manager have always been helpful and respectful. The activities arranged on behalf of the
residents are also very much appreciated, and my mother particularly enjoys the visits by the therapy dogs.
Reply from Kay Smith, General Manager at Adelaide Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the care and support that your mum receives and that both the manager and staff are always helpful. We believe that having a very varied selection of activities on offer is very important for all our resident's health and well-being, so it's nice to know that this is appreciated.

My mother resided at the home for twelve months. The care and attention of all the staff were excellent. I can only praise and admire the care given to Mum during her last weeks of life. The manager was very supportive and every member of staff showed genuine concern. I can strongly recommend the home.

The staff are genuinely caring towards Dad and show affection to him which is the most important for us as his daughters. The manager is excellent, communicates any concern to us in a timely manner and issues (like his hearing aid battery not being charged) are resolved quickly. There are plenty of
activities to keep him stimulated. We particularly like the record system which we can access to see how he is doing. He enjoys walking around the garden and petting the house dog.

My mother came to Adelaide Lodge earlier this year. I have always been impressed by the cleanliness of the home and the lack of any smells. It's light and airy. The staff have been very helpful and responsive. They have always been professional and yet friendly. Communication is good and there is an
overall caring atmosphere.

My mother moved to Adelaide Lodge from another home locally. I was very impressed with how welcoming, warm and kind the reception she received to settle her in. The staff are enthusiastic, cheerful, helpful and kind. The home is clean, comfortable and warm. The decor is bright and cheerful. Overall
excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to Adelaide Lodge in December 2019 as he has vascular dementia. He was very anxious before coming to Adelaide Lodge but is now content and serene. The care at Adelaide Lodge is the best, all staff I have encountered have been caring, friendly and so helpful. I do not worry about my father
at all as he is so well looked after, has a lovely room and enjoys the activities in the lovely lounge area.
My mother-in-law was also in Adelaide Lodge until her recent death. She went to the home in October 2019 in very poor health and we were told by her doctor she would not live much longer. Due to the excellent and loving care she received she survived until April this year, enjoyed her 100th birthday, regained her mobility and had a lovely last few years.
I cannot recommend this home highly enough and am so glad we found it when we needed it.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On visiting home, staff very polite and informative. Everywhere light, bright and spacious to make room for walking frames and wheelchairs. Small single bedroom spotlessly clean with towels and flannel. Nice upright supportive armchair beside the bed. Allowed to bring ornaments, pictures and clock to
make it more homely. I was most impressed and 10 weeks later cannot fault them. Have calls from office staff to check everything is ok.

My Dad has recently moved into this Care Home. It's really homely and his room is very comfortable and clean. The care he is receiving is exceptional. He is well looked after and all the staff are very attentive, very caring and gentle. Nothing is too much trouble.
The activities are fun and Dad has
started to join in. Meals are good and snacks are given in between meals including fruit. There are jugs of water and squash in the bedrooms and areas where the residents sit. They are encouraged to drink and helped to drink if needed. I am very happy knowing Dad is in a very safe and caring place.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.202)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.202) out of 10 for Adelaide 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.639 for Adelaide Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.639
  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 3.563 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Adelaide Lodge is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.313
  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.
