The resident is settled and says the carers will do anything to help her.
The care home is warm and smells fresh.
The rooms are spacious and ensuite outside agencies come to the home e.g. psychiatrists, nurses, activity leaders, and audiologists.
The residents like the food. Her laundry is washed,
ironed and returned all on the same day.

Review from Martin M (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The area around the care home is always tidy and litter-free.
The main entrance to the home could be improved by having a small canopy over the door, a shelter for visitors against rain etc. When the staff are busy they cannot answer the door immediately. In the home, it is always clean, tidy with
no smells. The staff are always very welcoming, helpful and from our experience very caring towards the residents. On one occasion we were witnesses to an incident between 2 residents in the main lounge. There were no carers in the lounge. A member of the kitchen staff defused the situation before it developed as it could have been nasty.
We have only seen the tea time meal. It looks very nice, well presented, plenty of it and a good choice. From photos etc on social media there are a lot of well-organised activities. Including keep fit, singing and dancing which are all enjoyed by residents. The room, occupied by my Mother, is warm, clean and tidy.
Overall we are very satisfied with South Moor.
Reply from Lisa McAnulty, Home Manager at South Moor Lodge Care HomeThank you for this information and we are glad that you are happy with the service we provide, Just to forward some information within the coming months we will be refurbishing the home and extending, the two buildings where you walk into the courtyard will joined on together and will become the new front door and entrance, with a reception area, This is the reason we have not made alterations to the door that is used at present. This will no longer have an effect on anyone having to wait for long periods of time while our care team are supporting your loved ones. Thank you for the feedback and I will cascade the feedback down to the full team.

The home as a whole is ok. As all care homes, could benefit from more staff. I often have to wait up to 30 minutes to be admitted to visit. The bedding and towels are generally very tired and don't fit beds. The majority of the staff are very caring, some are just doing a job.

My mum has only been at Southmoor Lodge for a few months, but in that time has had a few medical issues and 2 hospital admissions, but the staff have been good with Mum on her return.
We have found them to be helpful and caring and they do a great job under, sometimes difficult circumstances.
The
food is good and varied, the home is clean and tidy.
There are various daily activities for anyone who wants to partake, plus a visiting hairdresser, chiropodist, musicians and singers, which is a nice touch.
Overall we are happy with Mum's care. Thank you.

My mother has been in the care home for 12 months - family visit her every day - I come twice a week.
I feel she is being well cared for and staff generally offer full support when she finds things difficult. She often complains about the food (however, I cannot comment) - she hates the cold plates!
The entrance required improvement - visitors are required to stand out in the cold/wet. A refreshment area for visitors/residents would be beneficial - just a coffee machine?

Mum has been a resident for 3 years and has been very happy at South Moor Lodge. She is well looked after and enjoys all the meals provided. The staff are very welcoming to visitors. Mum has had a few health scares over the past year. The staff listen and takes on board any worries that I have about
Mum's health and works closely with the local doctor's team to provide the correct health care. I bring one of Mum's old friends with me every week and she is also impressed with the care provided. The home also provides activities and entertainment throughout the year which Mum has enjoyed.

I cannot thank the staff at this care home enough, they are kind, caring and always attentive even when their resources at stretched. I always find it clean and well maintained. They meet my mum’s particular needs daily and she always looks well cared for. I visit most days so see a lot of the staff
who are so welcoming. The lady provides lovely activities and entertainment and the ‘pub’ is a huge success in the summer months. My only criticism is the entrance and having to sometimes wait a period of time before the extremely busy staff have chance to answer the door bell. However I can see from your mission statement that this is hoping to be addressed. I have another family member in the home and who has been a resident for approximately 3 years so was very happy for this to be my mum’s home too. Thank you to the manager and all the superb staff, you’re saints in my eyes.
Reply from South Moor, n/a at South Moor Lodge Care HomeMyself and the full team would like to thank you so much for this very lovely review, It means a great deal to everyone that their hard work and dedication to all residents at South Moor Lodge are being acknowledged by relatives as well.

It was decided to try out a variety of care homes before settling on this one. We liked this one best.

My mother has been at South Moor Lodge since October 2020. I feel she is loved and cared for there. My mother and I lived together but when I was unable to cope any longer South Moor Lodge was our choice and I'm grateful that my mother is there. The staff are approachable and supportive placing my mother

Very happy with Mum's care. She has been at the home for over two years now and has always been well looked after. She, unfortunately, has not been well and is confined to bed at the moment, but the home is getting her situation reviewed. The staff do not just let matters slide. She has been kept clean
and free of pressure sores with regular repositioning. I get regular updates regarding her health and well-being. She likes all the staff, as do I. They are friendly and welcoming to visitors. The home is clean and tidy. The food supplied is very good and varied, she loved the cake baked specially for her birthday with candles. There are very good facilities and daily activities and entertainment provided.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.687)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.687) out of 10 for South Moor 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.687 for South Moor Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 268 Ratings = 4.687
  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 South Moor Lodge Care Home is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 21 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.
