Mum seems to have settled into the care home very quickly. She has made some new friends. All the staff are all very nice and friendly. Her speech has come on a treat, she is also smiling and laughing more than we have seen her do in a long time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum's health has declined rapidly over the last year, however, the home has ensured she's been checked at the hospital and kept me informed of events. The staff have alleviated my feelings of guilt that I'm not in a position to do more for my mum, I was her carer but I work and look after my grandchildren
so I can only visit Mum one or two times a week. The staff always greet me with smiles and I know they genuinely care for mum and the food is amazing!

Thank you to all the fabulous staff of Loran House who looked after my mum during her final two weeks; you bent over backwards to ensure my darling mum was as comfortable as possible and did everything possible to help her despite her being so extremely fragile. I cannot thank you all enough for all
the kind and loving care you gave to my mum and me when I lost her. You will never be forgotten, each and every member of your wonderful care home. My love to you all.

Review from S S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 4 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Very disappointed with the care given or rather the lack of. I visited my grandfather over the festive period to find he had been wearing the same clothes for 5 days, he can be urine incontinent, and had not had personal care administered. We were advised he can become agitated, unfortunately, this
is characteristic of dementia patients. My understanding is that personal care is typically given at least once AM and PM meaning out of 10 opportunities none were successful - is more training needed for clients with dementia?
Cleanliness is also an issue, a chair in a communal area which was soiled on the 24th was still not cleaned by 27th, and there were stools under the Christmas tree. When trying to speak with the manager we were advised he wasn't in until 28th when calling he has left for a teams meeting.
The AM staff say the PM staff should administer personal care if my grandad is up before they start the PM, staff say they sometimes do. Clients should be treated with dignity and respect.
Reply from Diane Smith, Director at Loran House

On behalf of the company, I can only apologise for the apparent lack of care given to your grandfather. I have referred your concerns to the regional support manager for the home so that we can investigate why the level of care has fallen way below our expected standards.

Review from P S (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I had been pleased with my dad's care up until these last 6 months. I visit my dad every week and let staff know in plenty of time that I will be picking him up and would like him to be ready or as near as. On a few occasions lately, I have gone to pick him up, he has been wet, still in his pyjamas
or in my opinion what he had on the previous day. He never looks smart, never has anything on his feet and is generally unkempt as staff say he won't often let them get him ready or shave him. I have bought numerous pairs of trainers, shoes and slippers but they all disappear. The hairdresser, who is lovely, tries to shave his beard off each week but staff never keep on top of it and he nearly always has a beard. I have even been recently and had to put him in the bath myself. I have spoken to the manager and got quite upset about it as I feel responsible for looking out for my dad's welfare. I feel they don't have enough staff to care for everyone.
Reply from Diane Smith, Director at Loran House

On behalf of the company, please accept my sincere apologies that the care for your Dad has fallen below yours and our expected standards.
Please leave this with me, I will ensure that the issues are addressed with the home and that the care delivery is improved as a result of your concerns.

Review from J K (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 12 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I can’t stress enough that anyone considering putting their loved one in this home, think again. Within a few short months of doing my last review everything changed, so much so that I had to repeatedly complain to the management which I followed up with an email once I got home so it was documented
as evidence. After every complaint, I was assured the problems would be addressed and yet the next week I’d have to complain about the same things again. Eventually, I had to get social services involved which led to them sending the safeguarding team in for neglect of my mother-in-law. In brief, the care or lack of it was absolutely disgusting and so upsetting for our family. It took months to go through the proper channels to move her to another home, which we eventually did late last year. Since being moved she has regained her confidence and dignity with the help and dedication of the staff at her new home.

My mum has been a resident at Loran House for 18 months now. I cannot thank the team at Loran House for the care they have given and continue to give to my mum. Choosing a care home is one of the hardest decisions a family has to make, but I know we made the right one. The team go above and beyond what
is expected of them. Thank you.

My mum-in-law has been in Loran for over 3 years, cannot thank them enough for the care they provide for her. She recently suffered a massive stroke and we all thought she would not pull through, she proved us all wrong and is now back at Loran where she feels at home. The manager and all her wonderful
hardworking staff have welcomed her back and are doing their very best to make her comfortable through this difficult time, can't thank them enough for all they do for her and all the residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First time seeing inside a care home. The thought of my mum in a care home scared me. My mum has been here for just over a month. I didn't need to be worried as my mum settled in and staff and management have been fantastic. Always eager to reassure me but more importantly mum's interest is foremost.
Always clean, no nasty smells. Food is outstanding.

My aunt has been a resident of Loran House for 2 years and 3 months. We visit her on average 3 times per month. She loves the staff and the residents mix. She has brought up the last of 9 siblings and looks on Loran House residents as her brothers an sisters - but grown up!
I have nothing but good
words for the manager and her team!

My father has been at Loran House for a year he has had the best care ever! The carers are amazing and the manager really works hard to make sure my father has the best care. The home is clean and the entertainment is great.
My father is always looked after well and the home has made so many changes
to the place they have a bar and hair salon and a nice garden. I cannot thank them enough the whole place is amazing.

I had no previous experience of care homes until my mother entered Loran House in 2016. I was happy with the care provided but since the care company has taken over the place has been totally transformed. The appearance, ambience, decoration, facilities, food and management are all massively improved.
All credit to the company for the significant investment involved.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.725)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.725) out of 10 for Loran House 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 4.915 for Loran House is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.915
  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 3.81 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Loran House is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.435
  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.
