The care home has a friendly, supportive attitude to its residents.
Management acts quickly to any health and living concerns.
The staff are creative in the entertainment of residents and their participation.
The quality of food and accommodation is to a good standard within the resident cost.
This
year investment has been made both to the exterior and interior of the home.

I have visited other family members and ex-colleagues in a number of care homes. None come anywhere near as homely and friendly as Bonehill Lodge. The staff at Bonehill really do care.

My wife has been resident since July 2016 and settled very well due to the dedication of all the staff. I am very pleased with the way my wife is coping with Dementia and its very different moods, this is due to the care she has and is very relaxed in the home. My faith in this home has exceeded my
expectations and I have every confidence for my wife's future.

My mother has been a resident since March 2016 and the care she has received has been excellent. The staff are very friendly and patient to residents and visitors. The office is always open to answer any queries. Although she has dementia, my mother has been very happy since she moved into Bonehill
Lodge and has made new friends. Her waistline has also expanded due to the excellent meals.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Bonehill Lodge for 2 1/2 years and during that time she could not have received better care. The staff are so kind and treat all the residents as individuals catering for their differing needs. My mums condition has deteriorated recently and the understanding and sensitivity
to her problems has been reassuring and very much appreciated. There is a very caring ethos with the home and the staff always appear happy and cheerful. They are approachable and always willing to talk to relatives when needed. I know I found an establishment with an exceptional level of care. I would strongly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home has a very warm and cosy feeling. The staff always appear happy and very caring and loving towards residents. The home is well staffed. Residents are treated as individuals with their personal needs catered for. All residents are clean with well washed and ironed clothes. It is traumatic for
families when a loved parents needs the care a home can provide and staff and management are kind, considerate and helpful during this transition time.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The first day we took mom to Bonehill Lodge we were a bit apprehensive about her initial reaction but we needn't had been. Mom settled straight in, loved her room which we had decorated to her taste. On many occasions we asked mom if she was happy being at Bonehill she always replied that she loved
it and felt safe and cared for.
The staff at Bonehill Lodge are all very caring and very importantly easy to converse with.
Thank you all for your care and kindness towards our lovely mom.

Review from Pam W (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Lovely Mom came to Bonehiil in May 2015 after a fall and several months in hospital which she hated, We were reluctant for her to go in a home as she was very independent beforehand, but it was her choice which we respected. After viewing others, we felt Bonehill would suit mom as it is very homely
and we felt that the transition for her would be made easier for her because of this. We were allowed to personalise her room (in fact we decorated it to her style). However Mom surprised us by wanting to spend most of her time in the main room with the other residents. She made friends, one lovely lady in particular. We told mom on numerous occasions that if she wanted she could stay with family, her response was always that she was happy there and felt safe. The team that worked there were very caring and loving towards Mom and laughed at her cheeky sense of humour. One member of staff even bought her a little gift back from her holiday, as she knew that it was a place that mom had liked.


The team were always there if mom had health problems and would not hesitate to call the local doctor. she had chiropody treatment and a hairdresser would call in. They knew that mom hated baths so would wash her down seated. The care was personalised to each persons needs.


I will be honest in that I first found it a little strange to see so many people sleeping at times in the main room, but then asked myself, would I have felt the same if I had popped over to mom when she was at home and found her having a nap, The answer was of course not, its just the same its just that they are having a nap together.


My only criticism and this is not of the home itself, is that due to low funding for these homes staff levels are not ideal, I feel that residents could spend more time in the garden during summer if the staff levels were higher.


Mom sadly passed quite suddenly and unexpected this week, I wish she had been there longer, but at least those final six months were where she was happy and felt safe and loved, Thankyou x

My husband has only been a resident of Bonehill Lodge for a short time, i'd had good reports on this home that is why I chose it. He has settled in well and the staff have been very kind and overall I feel I made the right choice.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Bonehill Lodge Care Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.706 for Bonehill Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.706
  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 Bonehill Lodge Care Home is based on 17 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
