My mum has been a resident at Wellington Lodge for tow years, she has been cared for and looked after very well and I have had no issues with the care. Staff are welcoming and helpful at all times and I would recommend this care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother moved to Wellington Lodge in May 2024 and since this time the staff have gone above and beyond to meet her sometimes challenging support needs. Every effort was made to ensure my Mother was treated with dignity and respect and staff had a real understanding of what worked best for her. Sadly
my Mother's dementia needs became as such that she was unable to remain at Wellington Lodge but regardless the effort to try and support her and keep her in the surroundings and routines she was familiar with will always be remembered. Wellington Lodge is a well managed care home with a staff team that clearly enjoy their jobs and who always great you with a smile. Highly recommended.

I was anxious about my mother going to respite, however the process involved was easy and a manager came to my mothers home to discuss her care needs.
On arrival the staff were friendly and helpful. Her room was pleasant and warm. All her clothes were washed and returned. The staff listened to me
and involved me in my mums care and seemed genuinely affectinate towards her.
When i visited she appeared happy and settled, she enjoyed the food and recieved drinks in between meals which was importent to her.
I have nothing negative to say and would be confident and happy to let me mum go back for further respite

Following an accident at home and a brief spell in hospital, my mum spent a week in the care home. The staff were really welcoming, professional and looked after my mum's needs during her time there. My mum's recovery was speedy and I put this in part with the way she was looked after by all staff.
If I have any comments to make the care home is slightly dated and could benefit from a redecoration/refresh.

My aunt has always been happy living at Wellington Lodge. She loves all the care staff, who treat her with love and respect. She enjoys the food and drinks, all the common areas are clean and tidy. Unfortunately there are times when the bed and bathroom could do with a good clean.
Reply from Kelly Phillips-Matthews, Manager at Wellington Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to review Wellington Lodge and we're pleased you rate our food and drink as excellent. We appreciate your kind feedback regarding our team, which I will pass on. It's lovely to know your Aunt is happy living with us. We have a regular cleaning schedule for all areas in Wellington Lodge. I will ask our Housekeeping Team to check your Aunt's bed and bathroom more frequently.

My auntie is well cared for in Wellington Lodge. They know her likes and dislikes and go the extra mile to please her. She used to love all the activities when she was more active but unfortunately isn't able to take part as much now but the carers do all they can to include her and keep her engaged
and happy. Thank you to them all.

We were reluctant for Mum to go here as it is far from home but Mum is really well looked after at Wellington Lodge. The staff are caring, compassionate and understanding especially when she gets upset or forgetful. She is always well dressed too. Mum has really enjoyed the musical activities, singing
on the Karaoke, music quiz and playing instruments.

Review from Lisa E (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 11 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wellington Lodge supported my mother-in-law to transfer from another location back in early May 2024. From the point of assessment and transfer to Manchester, the support and intervention that has followed the staff team have been exceptional. As family members, we have been made to feel welcome, always
greeted with a smile and provided with updates when needed. My mother-in-law's transfer hasn't been without challenges but the staff team are open to working creatively and proactively to ensure assessment is prioritised and that interventions that follow meet individual support needs. On each visit, my mother-in-law's personal care needs have been met and staff share their conversations evidencing time spent getting to know her. The home is clean and tidy, other residents look happy and there are always staff in communal areas engaging with residents. I would highly recommend Wellington Lodge.

My nana has been at the home for quite a few months now and every single time I go in she looks so well, her hair is always washed and she is always happy, the staff are all so caring towards her. It’s so nice to see her looking her best all the time as the other home she was at her hair was always
greasy and she was wheel-chaired around and always asked to go home, but now she is walking around and sees this as her home now, she has made such a U-turn. Her room is lovely and always clean and her clothes are always put back nicely, it’s so nice to see how well she is being looked after.

Always pleased with the care my mother receives. She is clean, happy and contented and always says, when I visit, that the staff are always kind, patient and look after her well.
The staff continually encourage her to eat and drink. Her health is significantly better than before she became a resident.

After a transfer from the previous care home, it was like walking into a luxury hotel. The staff, from management to catering staff, were excellent in providing a safe and friendly environment. At all times the resident was treated brilliantly and in an emergency responded in very quick order. Senior
staff were very helpful with future information.

My Uncle has been in Wellington Lodge for just over a year now. He seems to have settled in really well, the staff are really good with all the residents as I've seen. The Manager is always there to listen and to help, communication is very good also, emails to let you know what is going on within the
care home and my Uncle personally, would recommend this care home greatly. My Uncle has brain damage from a car accident 50 years ago and now has dementia too, but we as a family are happy with the care our brother and Uncle receives, thank you to all the staff and the Manager.

I, as the wife of a resident who is suffering with dementia, am very pleased with my husband's care and the understanding and friendliness of the staff. Also pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the layout. Staff are always happy to help namely some staff members, to name just a few as I can't
remember all the names and I do apologise for that. Thank you Wellington Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Wellington Lodge 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.753 for Wellington Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.753
  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 Wellington Lodge is based on 13 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
