* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.6 (maximum of 10) for Wellington Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Wellington Lodge in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.806 for Wellington Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.806
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.758 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wellington Lodge is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6.6 positive Reviews (33 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 6.6 Target = 0.758
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Staff are always very friendly and seem to have a good relationship with the residents. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and if the family have any concerns they are always addressed. My mother in law seems to be very happy and contented. Also, a very good plus is the 'social' activities that take place both outside and within the home. This is so vital rather than leaving the residents to vegetate.

An ambulance had to be called for my mother both on the 27th and 28th of October. I was informed and kept updated by staff until the ambulance arrived. When we returned my mother to Wellington Lodge at 3am and 7am respectively the caring attitude and support received by the staff were outstanding.

My mum has been at Wellington Lodge since May 2017. From first walking in I got a feeling of happiness for my mum's care. The staff are happy in their work, they interact with all the residents. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The manager is second to none and always helpful. My mum enjoys the food which always looks good. Overall they are a credit to Anchor homes.

My experience at Wellington Lodge has been very very reassuring and comforting. The staff are professional and efficient and they take the time to show an interest in my background and family, every resident is treated as an individual and are cared for with the same amount of dignity regardless of age and circumstances. I would have no hesitation to recommend this establishment to any family or friend in need of its services.

We cannot praise the staff of Wellington Lodge enough. Our uncle moved there 2 years ago and is being cared for in a kind and considerate way. Although he is 95 years old, he has all his 'marbles' and his relationship with the staff is extremely important to him as a point of contact with people that those other residents with dementia can't provide. He is stimulated and looked after by the staff as if he were their elderly uncle. Thank you, everyone. You give us peace of mind.
