The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Lostock Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Lostock Lodge in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.476 for Lostock Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.476
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 4.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lostock Lodge is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6.4 positive Reviews (32 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 6.4 Target = 0.938
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Lostock Lodge has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.414) from 7 Reviews
Review submitted from a Website Submission by Kevin B (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 31 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
After looking around 19 care homes for my mother in 2015 trying to find the right care for her as she had Alzheimer's, as she, unfortunately couldn't say in her own home any longer, we came across Lostock Lodge.
Fortunately, they had a room free, and in August 2015 she moved in.
They care she received while she was there was excellent, the staff were so professional and genuinely cared for her as a person.
We felt close to the staff who always made us feel welcome and nothing was ever to much trouble. My mother's needs always came first, as her health deteriorated.
My wife and I can't thank the staff enough for the excellent care she received.

My other has been in Lostock Lodge for nearly four years and in all that time my mother has had excellent care and attention from all the staff. She feels safe and secure and is treated with dignity and respect. When the activities are going on she always takes part. The food is very good and very varied. Management and staff are very good and I would recommend Lostock Lodge to anyone.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Margaret S (Resident) on Tuesday 11 July 2017.
My review of Lostock Lodge is a nice place, the room is comfortable and clean but short of some room to put things in. Management and staff are very good. Activities are quite good the person who does them is very nice and friendly. The food is not as good as it was when I first came in. Safety and security is good.

I recommend the care home for the interest it shows to one and all the residents at the care home.
To my mind, the staff have been chosen by management very skillfully, and from my point of view, the care given to each resident is fantastic.

I have been a resident here for 4 years.
This must reveal how much I am cared for.
Nothing I have needed has not been dealt with instantly - and with good grace.
I am extremely happy living here and feel comfortable and fortunate being here.
