My mum has been at Sutton Lodge Care Home for seven months now, and I wouldn't be happier with the care she's receiving. She is happy and settled, which gives our family peace of mind. The staff are attentive and genuinely caring, making sure residents are comfortable and well looked after. The food
is home cooked and nourishing. A special mention to the events organiser, who is an absolute godsend, making sure there's always something fun and engaging for residents.

The staff here are excellent paricularly in relation to the activities provided. There is something happening all the time! There is always plenty of staff looking after & attending to needs. Staff are also visably seen cleaning which is also excellent. The food is plentiful & appears to be all home
cooked. I would like to be regularly updated re mum's health & well being which doesn't happen unless I ask. The rooms are pleasant but very expensive, which I understand is standard across the sector. Overall I feel my mum is safe and well looked after.

After 3 years, the resident has settled in well. I visit her on a weekly basis and I am surprised that whoever she comes into contact with at the care home, the staff all know her by name and interact with her in a friendly and caring way, as such, she loves and soaks up all the attention given, so
much so, she is everyone's friend.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall I believe the care is very good. The staff seem to really care about the residents.
Dad has recently had a couple of falls and this is not something new. He is unsteady on his feet and the care staff believe his shoes are too big, however I believe this will happen again even with the correct
size shoes.
The case has been referred to the falls clinic in January after a fall and we have heard nothing, he has had several falls since.

Dad has been in the lodge for almost 18 months and been very well cared for.
All the staff have been very friendly towards all the family.
We've found the senior carers to be very approachable and understanding.
The cleaning and kitchen staff are brilliant too.
Overall no complaints and very happy
with him being there.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The care given by staff to our Mum has been 100% over the past 10 years in Sutton Lodge. Since the new manager has been here, no communication or compassion from this person as no people skills with residents' families. This home has been our family until the changes in the last few months. We have
always rated this care home at a high standard but unfortunately not anymore.
Reply from Claire Sharpe, Partner at Sutton Lodge Residential Home

Whilst I am delighted to hear that the care given to your mum over the last ten years has been 100 percent, I am really disappointed to read your review of the last few months. We have not been made aware of any issues to do with the new Manager and none have been raised during your Mum's in person care plan reviews /nor at the relatives meeting. I am also sorry that we were no longer able to meet your Mum's mental health needs at Sutton Lodge and we hope she has settled well into her new care home. Wishing your Mum and your family all the best for the future. Kind Regards, Claire, Managing Director

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Sutton Lodge.
My friend has been in the home for around five years now, and her care has been second to none.
There is always something going on to keep residents occupied and stimulated.
They are all well cared for, and with the pub, tea room
and nail bar, it’s amazing.
You are all angels.

It is never easy to to have to place someone in care, but due to their cognitive decline and becoming a danger to themselves it became necessary. Although Mother doesn't really understand where she is (sure she thinks she is on holiday) she is now living her best life, and we know she is cared for well
and she is in safe hands, the staff are amazing and genuinely caring, the facilities and activities are great too, thank you Sutton Court and all the staff for looking after my mum in the way you do.

I cannot praise the staff at Sutton Lodge highly enough for the care they show not only my mum but all of the residents. Today I spent some time in the home visiting, and despite the challenges, the staff showed how truly caring they were, with nothing being too much trouble. My mum has been there seven
years now, and it really is home-from-home, especially with the cat around.
Each resident is treated as an individual, time is taken to make them comfortable and happy, and the staff are always smiling and chatting. As a family, we cannot thank you enough.

Staff very welcoming. Work well with residents. The care home is clean and tidy. Ideal personal space. More staff needed at weekends.
Reply from Claire Sharpe, Managing Director at Sutton Lodge Residential Home

Hello, and thank you for your review of Sutton Lodge, part of the Ashmere Group. We do have more ancillary staff during weekdays, such as the hairdresser, activity coordinator and home manager and receptionist, so unfortunately the weekends can feel a little quieter, and it may take longer to answer the phones and doors. However, we find that the weekends are when most relatives like to visit.
Kind Regards.

My mum was in Sutton Manor since October 2020. She was moved to the Lodge in the spring of 2022 as her need had changed and she was very restless. Since being in the Lodge mum has really settled down. The staff are wonderful with her and have lots of time to give. As a family, we are very impressed
and are happy for mum to be there. They provide lots of entertainment and comfortable surroundings and the food looks great too. We love taking mum to the tearoom that was built in the covid period so residents could still have visits from family and friends.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.412)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.412) out of 10 for Sutton Lodge Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.412 for Sutton Lodge Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.412
  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 Sutton Lodge Residential Home is based on 10 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
