Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 86 year old mum fell and badly broke her arm in mid December 2020. She was hospitalised for 4 weeks and then required respite and recuperation. As a family we were worried and anxious about finding the right care home. What a blessing to find Lofthouse Grange and Lodge. From the first conversation
with the home manager to the moment when Mum returned home, absolutely everything about the care and support was amazing. The unit manager and team were absolutely brilliant in looking after Mum with reassurance and kindness at this extremely difficult time. Particular mention must be made on the communications that we as a family had with both the home and unit manager which were open, honest and always with a willingness to help in any way possible. We thank you so much!

My dad has resided at Lofthouse Grange & Lodge for over 3 years but this year, due to Covid, has been extremely difficult for all the residents and their loved ones. Having visited Dad on a regular daily basis I was truly beside myself wondering how he'd cope not seeing my sister and I but my angst
was soon put to rest, all the staff within the home have done, and still are doing, a tremendous job. My dad is well cared for and more importantly loved, his changing needs are met on every level. I cannot thank everyone enough for all the care, love and dedication. Thank you so very much.

During the period Dad was at the home, we always felt he was well cared for. Communication was great and everything was managed particularly well over the last few months which could have been so much worse were it not for the efforts of the manager and her team. We will always be grateful.

Mum has been so much more happier since moving into Lofthouse Grange, the staff have been marvellous, especially during the COVID pandemic. We have had no issue what so ever and have every confidence that Mum is being cared for by a wonderful and dedicated team. We have regular video chats which always
put a smile on Mum's face. All in all we can't fault Lofthouse and the care it provides.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After being assessed my mum was recommended to go into long term residential care but having to find a new home under lockdown was a task without being able to visit in person. I was drawn to Lofthouse Grange by a friend’s recommendation and after viewing the online video. I was also given the opportunity
to view my mum's potential room via video phone call. The room was perfect and so were the facilities on offer. I advised our social worker I wanted a room at this place for my mum, the admission was quick and went smoothly with the help of the care home manager and her admin staff. My mum moved in a month ago and she has settled in very well. She has her own personal effects around her and has made some friends amongst some of the residents. I was even sent a video message of her joining in a social event they were having one day; she was dancing with her zimmer. It was lovely to see this, and I was grateful for them sending me this, made me feel happy I had chosen the right place for my mum.

Review from Linzi P (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 19 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My step-dad has just returned from a week's respite and seemed pretty happy about the place. However, he has dementia and doesn’t always know what’s going on or what he has done. So when my mum picked him up to come home and asked him what he had been doing he replied: “nothing really”. We were told
that there are various activities on through the week such as games afternoon and singing etc but when we asked him he said there was nothing on. It would have been nice to have some sort of report about his stay explaining what he had been up to and eaten etc. When my mum brought him in there was nobody to greet her to settle him in, as there was a staff meeting going on, even though she had rung to confirm what time he was arriving. The main room could do with extra comfy chairs as there wasn’t enough. On the plus side the place is very clean, tidy and the staff very friendly and he said the food was good.

The staff are all so helpful and have a very caring attitude. Nothing is too much trouble and it's obvious this comes across to the residents. They are treated with the utmost respect even when the staff are under pressure. I really feel that moving dad to Lofthouse Grange has made his last years comfortable
and even extended his life. They have taken away his day to day worries that come with having dementia.

Admitted here as an emergency and referral by social workers who managed to get an assessment and admitted on the same day.
This followed a fall at home, and wandering into the street after midnight on three occasions.
We were welcomed by friendly staff and carers, who continued to look after her
well.
Only moving her to a different home as it is nearer to her home, so she is nearer to me and her friends, neighbours and church friends.

My mum came to stay at Lofthouse Grange and Lodge on a respite basis after my dad had an accident which meant he couldn’t look after her. The manager was brilliant and came out to see us at the family home within hours of us making the call. She was so kind and my mum took to her straight away. She
trusted her and it meant my mum went happily into respite care. Whilst there, my mum was well looked after. The staff were kind and there were plenty of activities to keep mum occupied. She loved making mince pies! Her room was clean, modern and spacious with all the facilities she needed. We were always made to feel welcome when we visited and the lounge, always had plenty of people, singing along to war songs, watching TV or just chatting. It would be my first choice should we need respite or permanent care in the future.

My gran is almost 100. She lived in her own home up until 10 weeks ago when she was in the hospital and a different home where she was very unhappy. Lofthouse Grange was recommended, and we have not been disappointed. Every member of staff has been so caring and kind, it has been a very rocky road,
but my gran is finally happy, each and every member of staff has made her feel so special and wanted. It has given us ease knowing she is being cared for so well. I would highly recommend.

After looking around other care homes for my mum and feeling the anguish that she would hate them, we got the call to come and visit Lofthouse. From the moment we visited we felt reassured Mum would receive the best care.
Mum loves being in Lofthouse, she has friends, she does more activities than
me and she is thriving. Thank you so much for everything at such a difficult period in our lives. You should be very proud.

Since a new service manager has been in place, there have been noticeable improvements in the cleanliness, atmosphere and the morale of the staff. My friend has always appeared very happy and contented with her surroundings, however, previously I was a little concerned about her personal care, especially
due to missing items of clothing. However, this has now changed and I have no concerns anymore.
The staff have always been very caring.

The food is always well cooked, the meat, in particular, melts in the mouth. It's hot and well presented.
When nobody is looking I've been known to lick my plate after stews as the gravy can't be wasted.
The staff are always friendly and polite. I look on them as my friends not just cooks. Keep up
the good work. Well done.

I am a solicitor specialising in the legal affairs of very elderly clients. I have visited very many care homes over the years and I can honestly say that Lofthouse Grange & Lodge is the best. The staff are super friendly, helpful and unflappable. Whilst I am not at crisis point yet with my 85-year-old

My Husband complained of chest pain's, Lofthouse Grange acted quickly to get him the right medical help. They sent a carer with him to stay with him in hospital and kept me in touch at all times. I had been discharged from hospital myself that day and was unable to help. I felt confident that everything
was being taken care of and that was a great relief.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.510)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.510) out of 10 for Lofthouse Grange & Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.510 for Lofthouse Grange & Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.51
  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 Lofthouse Grange & Lodge Care Home is based on 21 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
