Review from C B (Mother of Resident) published on 18 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son moved to this care home after living 30 years previously in an excellent care home. We were apprehensive on how he would settle. The staff were excellent and the management was very efficient with the administration. He has settled really well and seems very happy. He is nonverbal, so is unable
to say how he feels. He is involved in lots of activities which he enjoys. We are happy with his new placement.

TWL is a wonderful home, my son has been living there for many years and is very happy there. His food, health and well-being are very well catered for. The managers and staff are all very kind and caring and inform me if there are any problems with his health or appointments. The home has a large garden
and patio where have outside activities, also there are minibuses for trips out in the community and more activities.

My son is very happy and very well looked after at this home. He is able to take part in many activities that are offered. I am always made to feel very welcome. He is secure there and always happy to go back after a home visit. The staff are always happy to help sort out any problems and are very respectful
to him and to me. They seem to have lots of fun too!

My sister is happy and well cared for. We last visited her on 30th November 2023. We found the staff helpful and communicative. The care is taken to provide stimulating activities. She is blind, has a Specific Learning Disorder and has epilepsy so she requires a high level of care which I believe she
is receiving

My son has been at Talbot Woods Lodge since March 1997 and has had excellent care and still does. When the virus lockdown happened the owners and staff made sure that the residents were safe. At last, access has returned and I can see my son weekly.

My son has only been here for a short period so far but has made great progress. All staff and management have helped him to have a smooth and happy transition here. We are always made to feel very welcome when we visit, and are always kept up to date with how he is getting on, and shown photos of activities
he has participated in. Staff are lovely and are always interacting with the service users. The whole place has a lovely homely feel. My son is treated with respect and we are happy knowing he is safe and having a fulfilling life.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am happy living at Talbot Woods Lodge. I often say "no" to going out but would benefit from being given an option of one venue or another venue, so I don't have the chance to say "no". It would be good for me to have more choices in daycare rather than relying on games/puzzles etc that mum has bought
in for me.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.564)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.564) out of 10 for Talbot Woods Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.664 for Talbot Woods Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.664
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Talbot Woods Lodge is based on 9 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    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, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
