Review from Phillip D (Son of Resident) published on 5 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am more than satisfied with the care my Mum is receiving at Appleton Lodge Care Home. She has settled in very well and we can relax in the knowledge that she is well looked after 24 hours a day. The home is kept very clean which is always a good outward sign of how well a place is run. My sister and
I particularly like the relaxed atmosphere, where we can help ourselves to a tea or coffee and can even share a meal with the residents if we are inclined. Sometimes useful if you have to travel a long way as I do (80+miles). The carers themselves are friendly and respond quickly if a request is made to them. Efforts are made periodically to engage the residents in various activities. In all, the home appears to be very well run by caring and conscientious staff. I would therefore have no problem with recommending the care provided at Appleton Lodge Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The person I visit is the sister of a very close friend, who passed away. I visit every week and always find the staff very helpful and friendly. The home is extremely well cared for and they provide many activities during the week. My only fault would be occasional shortage of staff.

Mum has nothing but praise for the care staff. She is comfortable in her room. She enjoys her food and the companionship of others. The home has a lovely homely and welcoming feel. There is a good range of entertainment of the care staff spend time with the residents on a 1:1 basis when they can.

Review from Val Y (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Care provider over the last six years has been good and staff work hard to meet needs of residents. Staff turnover has been relatively low which has enabled staff to get to know residents and respond to them as individuals, which is important. Needs of residents have risen considerably over the last
six years (due to people staying at home longer before entering care) and this has impacted on staff and residents, ideally staffing ratios need increasing! The home are supportive of residents and their families and are happy to discuss any concerns. The home is bright and well presented but care provided is more important although I recognise that presentation is positive factor in attracting new residents!

I would like to say how impressed with the care and support the staff have given to mum since she has been in their care. The care has been personal and sincere. This has made a difference as a member of the family we know that she has been in good hands at this very sad time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has lived at Appleton Lodge for three years now. Since choosing this home which was a very difficult choice after viewing many at the time, I have not been disappointed. The home is very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The reassurance from the staff is amazing at times when the
resident and family need support. This care home is very happy and the residents are very happy. The new manager is transforming the place all the time and meeting the residents needs. I would have no problem recommending this home and would like to say Thank you.

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.
