  • Nesfield Lodge Dementia Care Home, Leeds
Nesfield Lodge is a friendly and familiar home located close to Leeds, that is setting standards across the Orchard group.

The home has seen its staff recognised in internal awards and is one of the pioneering homes that are part of the HenPower hen-keeping programme.

HenPower is an inspiring project linking older people with hens to combat social isolation and it is supported by older people’s charity Equal Arts. Combining hen keeping with hen-related arts activities, there has been a positive impact from the hens’ presence, giving additional focus and activity to many of the residents in the home.

The home has en-suite rooms, all decorated to high standards, with modern furnishings and fittings. A bright, communal lounge gives direct access to the garden, while a quiet reminiscence room, decorated in a 1940s theme, allows for more contemplative time.

There is a strong relationship with local schools and community groups, ensuring the residents are as active and engaged as possible, with an activity coordinator in the home who leads a varied and daily changing programme of events and one to one activity.

My aunty lives in the home, she has dementia. The home has been the best thing for her, she has come out of herself again and the staff are brilliant with her. We as a family are now happy to leave her knowing she is well looked after and treated with dignity and respect and has the best possible care
for her condition.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.836)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) out of 10 for Nesfield Lodge Dementia Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.861 for Nesfield Lodge Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.861
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nesfield Lodge Dementia Care Home is based on 19 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
