Review from Evelyn C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had to go into care as she has vascular dementia. It was a heartbreaking decision for the family. The staff there are very caring and friendly. She has settled in even though she says she doesn't like it there and doesn't want to be there. She is very confused about the dementia. It is a horrible
disease. She joins in with the activities and looks very happy in the photos that are posted in the home. It helps the family to know that our mum is being looked after well. I can't praise the staff highly enough for the great work that they are doing.

Review from Michelle G (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mom was a resident until she went into hospital, then this care home refused to accept my mom back which meant finding a new home for her. My mom is dying and needs nursing care which this home clearly knew from day one so because she had a couple of ambulances and was taken to hospital because she
couldn't breathe, which she does have terminal lung cancer and COPD. This home refused to have her back which caused my mom so much upset as she had just really settled there and to have to find a new home. I wouldn't certainly put any of my family members in this place, always short staffed meals are freezing cold and when they get challenged on things by family members they don't like it, and that's another reason I think they didn't want my mom back as they were challenged over the stuff what was going missing out my mom's room.
Reply from Abdul Rahman Ali, Home Manager at Hilltop Lodge

We understand your disappointment that we couldn't re-admit your mother. We take some reassurance in the fact that you wanted her to come back after her stay in hospital, but unfortunately, she required a higher level of nursing care at that point and we did not have any rooms available in our dedicated nursing unit. We genuinely would have loved to welcome your mother back into the home, but we took this difficult decision as we strongly felt this was in her best interest from a clinical perspective.

Our uncle came into Hilltop Lodge with dementia, we could not have found a better care home for him. The staff was very kind and caring in all aspects, senior staff were very kind and looked after him very well. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a home. It was full of care and
love for the residents and family.

Mum has lived at Hilltop Lodge for three years now. She was taken very ill at the beginning of the year and we were told by the hospital she would not survive. Only through the dedication, love and care of all the staff Mum is here now doing extremely well. They are all lovely and kind to her and the
family cannot thank them enough.

My father is very well-looked after by all of the staff.
I am kept informed at all times of his wellbeing and how he is getting on with his diet etc. and if he is feeling unwell.
The staff make sure all of his medication is taken at the correct times of the day.

I have found the home to be more than satisfactory. The staff are pleasant, helpful and caring. My father-in-law is happy to be here and enjoys the activities that are available on a day to day basis. The food is plentiful and well cooked and presented. I have no qualms as to my father-in-law's residency
here.

My mom was taken to Hilltop Lodge on a short-term assessment stay. When she arrived she could walk assisted to the toilet. Upon arrival, she was put into bed and there she stayed for 3 weeks. I kept asking about my mom being got up but just kept being told they were waiting for physio. Therefore, my
mom lost all strength and use of her legs. She has been readmitted to the hospital with stomach problems, fully dehydrated, and her bottom covered in moisture lesions. Please do not let any of your relatives go there. It breaks my heart to see how my mom has suffered.
Reply from Abhinav Saraogi, Director at Hilltop Lodge

We take all feedback very seriously and I am deeply sorry you feel this way and have had a negative experience.
Our aim is to provide the best possible care to those we support and it is something we take very seriously. We investigated your concerns immediately, as did CQC and the Safeguarding Team. Both of their outcomes were 'unsubstantiated', which was also our internal process outcome.
Once again, we are very sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations.

So happy to have found such a wonderful home for our mother. Nothing was too much trouble and we knew that she was always in good hands. Any incidents were reported to us immediately and plans were put in place so that they did not reoccur. All of the staff showed such care towards Mum and she was happy.
She was always smiling and never expressed any negative feelings toward where she was. Mum was always clean and was able to take part in activities to stimulate her. We cannot thank the staff enough.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.793)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.793) out of 10 for Hilltop Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.793 for Hilltop Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (327 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.793
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hilltop Lodge is based on 28 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 + 0.1 = 4
    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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 28 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.
