Review from V S (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Radway almost two years now - she took a few weeks to settle in (her choice, but hard to give up independence), but she is now completely established! She refers to it as her home and says she is fed very well, the food is always amazing. The staff are friendly and caring, showing
understanding when residents may be feeling grumpy. Thankyou!

Review from H L H (Resident) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the minute you walk through the door, you feel good vibes. Happy staff, clean home, I was offered a cup of tea or coffee as I entered. It is a small home, close to the town. Previously I have seen the staff taking their guests around the gardens in Sidmouth...so not in home environment all the
time. I did not get my tea or coffee as the lady had to deal with a service user, who rightly came first.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.247)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.247) out of 10 for Radway Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 2 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 4.455 for Radway Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (13 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 22 Ratings = 4.455
  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 3.792 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Radway Lodge is based on 2 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    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 15 registered maximum number of service users is 3. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 3 = 0.667
  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.
