Roby Lodge is a lovely, safe environment for our mother who has Alzheimer's and needs constant care. The building is lovely and new, the bedroom spacious and bright and the staff we have met are very kind and attentive. We are very happy that mum is looked after so well at Roby Lodge.

Roby Lodge was my first choice of a care home for my 96-year-old mum. My partners mum had been here for a couple of years so I knew from visiting it was a nice place it was. Mum went in for respite initially but settled from day one and is now a happy permanent resident. She said she is looked after
very well and has everything she needs in her lovely room.

My mum has been at Roby Lodge for 2 years. She came from another care home and I am so glad she came here. She has never been happier. The staff are friendly and take such good care of mum. Nothing is too much trouble. If I do have any issues they are sorted right away by the managers. Mum is always
praising the staff and she is treated with dignity and respect at all times.

Mum originally went into Roby Lodge a few weeks ago for respite and we have seen such a difference in her during this short time that this is now going be her Home. The staff have been lovely in helping mum settle in and looking after her wellbeing. It is reassuring that at 96 she has the 24-hour care
she needs to have a good quality of life. Thanks for looking after mum and keeping everyone safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Out mum has been in Roby Lodge since January 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic changing all our lives, our biggest being as a family not seeing our mum. As soon as government rules in place or changes staff inform us straight away and we continue to have phone calls and speak to mum also via Facetime.
Mum looks well cared for and seems happy quite. Recently we have been allowed window visits only two at a time but feels comforting to see mum happy to see us and vice versa. Any concerns or worries as a family we have, the staff are always helpful and reassuring at all times. Updates for us and swabs regularly and recently this week mum has had the vaccine. So we feel mum is in a safe environment with excellent care from the staff.

On behalf of my gran. 'Many thanks to all the staff at Roby house, my husband Norman went in May 2020 and stayed until he passed in December. He was well looked after, the staff were wonderful with him and helped him improve so much before he went downhill. They made him comfortable in palliative care
and were really accommodating to me and the family, I can’t thank you enough.'

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We are so glad that we chose Roby Lodge as the preferred Care home for our Mum in December 2019. It was a massive decision for us as a family to persuade Mum to leave our family home. After our dad passed away we thought Mum was suffering from depression but it soon became obvious to us all that it
was Alzheimer’s disease.
When the final decision was made, we thankfully chose Roby Lodge to be her new home, we could not have made a better choice.
From day one our Mum was made to feel so welcome by every one of the lovely staff. Mum was given good nourishing homemade food. Her room is spacious and spotlessly clean. She has developed friendships with quite a few of the other residents and joins with them for regular sing-alongs. I cannot thank the wonderful staff for caring for Mum with a Capital C. They are treating mum with affection and dignity and also show such kindness and respect to us as her family.
Thanks for everything girls especially for keeping Mum safe. God Bless.

Review from Gerrard M (Partner of Resident) published on 16 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My long term partner is a resident who has been here since June 2019. I have found that since she has been in residence despite initial teething problems, she has settled extremely well. I come from a background of caring and have been a former community care manager and I am aware of the many problems
caring can have on both the carer and client. We are at a difficult period at this moment in time with the outbreak of a pandemic and as a result, the staff have difficult choices to make, one of them having to come to work and putting themselves at risk as well as their families. I could not praise them enough for the thankless task they face each day. I for one and hopefully millions of others across the country will be clapping loudly every Thursday for the many carers across the country especially for the staff of Roby Lodge. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Best wishes.

Review from Beverley S (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Firstly sorry for the delay in submitting a review, only I have been very busy and unable to complete anything. My father was placed in Roby lodge on 2 weeks respite at very short notice. If I am honest it was the worst decision I have ever made. At first, it was a relief to have him safe in a home
however, it was the wrong home! If I can just stress the staff were absolutely lovely and tried their best. But I am not convinced there is adequate training and knowledge with dementia or Alzheimer’s as they really did not have a clue on how to look after dad at all. The residents weren’t stimulated and just looked vacant. The managers gave conflicting information and missed important treatments.
I have raised a complaint with the senior team however that was a waste of time. I would not recommend this home for dementia/Alzheimer's residents at all.
Rooms below standard, disgusting linen, poorly equipped and dull.

First impression of this care home was really nice. We got that lovely feeling as soon as we arrived with our dad. The manager is fantastic so are the rest of the staff. Everyone one in here is so helpful, honest and kind. My dad has settled in really well and that's down to all the dedicated staff
in here.
Thank you all so much x

On entering the home, you are immediately met with a warm welcome.
It is bright, spacious and full of chatter. From the manager down, everybody we have met has been kind and friendly. Everything is explained from the off and given you are leaving one of your most treasured possessions (our dad), you
instantly feel it is home from home. The facilities are 5* and I would consider our family to be very lucky to secure a place here. We know he is warm, safe and well looked after.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Roby 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.825 for Roby Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (345 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 400 Ratings = 4.825
  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 Roby Lodge Care Home is based on 34 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 34 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.
