Review from Paul D (Grandson of Resident) published on 30 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nan's care is fantastic, she is always well presented and nothing is too much for anyone. Always somebody for her to talk to if she wants a chat. She is awkward when taking her tablets but never a problem for whoever is with her. Her room is always clean and tidy.

Review from Rhona B (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad was previously at a dreadful home where he was overmedicated and depressed.
Since he has been at Acacia Lodge he is off most of his medication now, he is bright and happy.
Dad is clean, always well dressed, his clothes and possessions are treated with respect.
He has gained weight and all
the staff not only treat him with respect but take the time to talk to him.
Fabulous home!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.537)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.537) out of 10 for Acacia Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.912 for Acacia Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 34 Ratings = 4.912
  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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acacia Lodge Care 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.375
  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.
