Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been living at Appleton Lodge for two years. During this time her needs have changed but have been fully met by the management and staff without any problems. My mother and our family are very pleased with her care and feel fortunate that she is in such a safe and caring environment. The
staff are wonderful with my mother, their medical and personal care for her are excellent, they treat her with respect but are cheerful, friendly and we feel like part of a big family. The facilities at the home are modern and clean. The atmosphere they have created is very welcoming and inclusive; this applies to all residents, family and friends who come to visit.

Grandma is very happy here, the meals are always filling her up and she always has seconds. The room is very comfy and she feels at home. She is able to go outside and feed the birds which gives her independence.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
From day one all staff have been helpful. They take care of not only the resident but their family too. You are not excluded from anything and are actively encouraged to contribute to their welfare and care. Good onsite care from third parties i.e. chiropody, hairdressers, GP etc. I would be happy to
be a resident here should the need ever arise.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since moving to Appleton Lodge Care Home our mum's quality of life has improved immensely. In the previous home, she was left in her room all day.I and my sister visited every day to make sure that she at least got to walk around as she was becoming extremely depressed. Appleton's manager and staff
provide fantastic care and support and she now has made friends in the home and is so much happier. We cannot thank you enough for providing such a lovely place for her to be. Your cleaners keep the place absolutely spotless.

I am extremely happy with the care my mum receives at Appleton Lodge Care Home. Importantly, my mum is very happy, contented and feels safe. The staff are very approachable and most of them have been there for many years and know all the residents very well. Appleton Lodge Care Home is just the right
size with 30 residents 15 on each floor which gives the care home a real homely feel to it. There is a lovely garden for residents to sit in on sunny days.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been given a place for my father in Appleton Lodge Care Home. The manager and her team are young, optimistic and enthusiastic. They smile and are pleasant and upbeat at all times, even on what must be difficult days. Without exception, all the staff
are kind and caring to my Dad who can sometimes be grumpy and difficult. Dementia has badly affected appetite and all the carers try to coax him to eat - sometimes bribing him with two puddings if he won't eat much main course. I feel he is in a safe and caring environment with lovely people - what's not to like about that?

Appleton Lodge is an excellent home. It is always warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly and caring. They work very hard to make Appleton Lodge a 'real home' for residents. My mother-in-law is very happy and settled. She has a clean and comfortable en-suite room. She loves sitting in the communal
area where she participates in daily activities, which are physically and emotionally stimulating. I would highly recommend it.

Although my mother has only been in the home for a few weeks I found that the atmosphere is very welcome and homely. Both management and staff are very helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble. She has been in several care homes during the past four years for respite care but this home is by any
standard the best.

This care home is a 100% run as a home from home. The residents are treated as family in a safe, friendly, caring environment. I feel that my relative is treated with dignity and respect and every member of staff goes the extra mile to give them the life they deserve. I am happy with all the aspects
of the home and feel that I am treated as one of their family whenever I visit.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.814)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.814) out of 10 for Appleton Lodge Care Home 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 4.814 for Appleton Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.814
  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 Appleton Lodge Care Home 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 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.
