Review from Beverley R (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mum moved into Arnside Lodge in July 2025, the staff couldn't have been more helpful.
My mum had come from hospital after having a major fall and it was quite a stressful and frightening time for her, the staff looked after her and made my mum feel welcome. They even looked after me as I
was finding it hard to leave my mum and was quite tearful.
The whole team at Arnside Lodge are amazing, they have made my mum feel so welcome and at home and can't do enough for her (they even provided her favourite breakfast so she felt at home). If I'm not available to come and visit I can ring up any of the team and get a full update on my mum day or night. The home has a wonderful homely feel and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Review from M M (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My lovely dad suffers from dementia, and the decision to no longer care for Dad at home was a difficult one. However, his transition into residential care has been made much easier by the lovely staff at Arnside Lodge Care Home, who have been excellent in helping Dad to settle. Staff are approachable,
and communication is welcomed. We are given regular updates and have been involved in Dad’s care planning. Dad is treated with respect and kindness. Arnside Lodge has been Dad’s home for five months now. He is happy and safe and we are confident that he is in good hands and that we made the right choice for his continued care.

Review from Joyce W (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 7 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Today is National Day of Reflection for the Covid year. I would just like to thank all the staff at Arnside Lodge for keeping our loved ones safe and well cared for through this pandemic. It must have been a nightmare and it isn't over yet. It has been heartbreaking not to be in there with them for
so long, almost eight months in my case, but my only consolation is knowing that he has the best care available. Everyone looks ahead to a time when visiting can resume as it was before. But until then I know they will continue their caring role and will make the lives of those who live at Arnside Lodge the best they can be. Thank you, everyone, for all you do to make this a residential home to be proud of.
Reply from Hilary Briggs, Finance & Operations Director at Arnside Lodge

Dad has coronavirus and like thousands around the country, I am worried and scared for him. However, I can sleep at night knowing that he is far safer here than anywhere else. He will be safe, fed well and encouraged when possible. When we clap for the NHS on Thursday nights I hope the carers, managers
and staff here know that I'm clapping for YOU!

Review from Kay D (Friend of Resident) published on 3 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have looked at a few care homes for my elderly friend who suffers from dementia and Arnside Lodge is by far the best I have seen in the area. The rooms are so comfortable and furnished to a very high standard. The level of care is second to none. There are daily activities and music of the era the
residents can relate to and sing along to. There is even a purpose-built hairdressing salon which means the residents feel they have been out to the hairdressers. The sensory garden is wonderful and is easily accessible yet secure for the residents. There is a choice of menu every day with fresh food cooked to a very high standard. All medication is taken care of and there are regular visits from the optician and chiropodist. All in all this is the highest standard of care home in the area.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.156)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.156) out of 10 for Arnside Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Arnside Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5
  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 3.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Arnside Lodge is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.156
  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.
