Review from M A (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been living at Albion Lodge for 10 months, and received a very warm welcome immediately. The retirement home has a friendly, warm and inclusive atmosphere, and the care that my mother has received has been excellent.
There is a good range of activities throughout the week, catering for
all abilities and interests. As my mother nears her 100th year, I can't imagine anywhere nicer for her to live.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I moved into Albion Lodge on 4th Jan 2020 and have been here for 5 years.
Since then, I have enjoyed the atmosphere created by the carers, who often have to tolerate my strange sense of humour.

Review from T W (Son of Resident) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident for 6 months. The level of care provided is first class. The staff are professional, caring and provide all of the required assistance my father needs. The cleanliness and facilities are also first class. There is never an aroma that is sometimes evident at other homes
and the residents are all happy, clean, tidy and treated with respect. My father also thoroughly enjoys the food. Our family has been very pleased with all aspects of the home and I would not have any hesitation recommending it.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.440)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.440) out of 10 for Albion Lodge Retirement Home 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 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 4.833 for Albion Lodge Retirement Home is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.833
  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 3.607 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Albion Lodge Retirement Home 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.357
  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.

Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2016

Hello, I’m Lindsay,
I’ve been passionate about providing care for over 20 years and have been part of the team at Albion Lodge Retirement Home since 2016.


I believe we should care for others as we would our own family. This aligns with the values of the Darwent family and is one reason I love working in a family-run home. Our supportive environment and long-standing staff create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble.


Albion Lodge offers comfort, care, and independence in a beautiful countryside setting. We have accessible gardens, a hair salon, treatment rooms, and an exercise room.


We offer a range of ensuite rooms across three lift-accessible floors, most with wet rooms and all with lovely views. Each floor also has an accessible bath for a safe and relaxing experience.


We warmly invite you to visit and see what makes Albion Lodge so special.
