My mum-in-law is extremely well looked after. Her illness makes her have good days and bad days but we know she is safe and very well cared for. She would not have been able to cope in her own place, despite help from carers and ourselves. We were very impressed that we were asked about her favourite
colours and her room was decorated accordingly. We get good feedback from the staff.

My Mother was cared for by the home through to her passing on the fourth of June. During my visits and regular communications, I can state that the staff were exceptional in their attitude, presence and care of my mother. I don't think anywhere else would have been more caring.

Thank you for a very positive and heartfelt review. Your mum was a lovely lady, all staff were very fond of her, may she rest in peace. Thinking of you all.

My mum has been here over a year now and I’m very happy with her care. Mum kept saying she wanted to come home but she wouldn’t be safe at home. It was hard to leave her at first but over time I saw how much fun she was having with days out, entertainment every afternoon plus games and events in the
home and shows put on by the staff and she had a lovely birthday with cake. The staff always let me know if Mum has seen the doctor and keep me informed about her care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was in Kinmel Lodge from September 2020 until her sad death on the 15th February 2021. Her care by all of the staff has been exemplary, and we cannot speak highly enough of the attention that she was given, in what was the end of her life due to dementia. My mother-in-law was very happy
in the home and she never had any complaints at all. We wish to thank the manager, and indeed all of the staff, for their excellent communications with us, and the efforts that they all put in to make life as enjoyable as possible for my mother-in-law. We very much appreciate everything that has been done for us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hand on heart, I think this care home and all of the staff who here have transformed our lives, we were so sad and so scared to 'put our mum in a home', she needed care and a home was the only option - yet we still felt so guilty, almost immediately we knew we made the right decision. My mum loves it,
she has a life again, she smiles again, she dances, sings, draws, laughs, has fun with other residents. The staff are, oh my gosh, amazing. They upload pictures to a Facebook group and have set up a WhatsApp and FaceTime area to help us all keep connected. They seriously go above and beyond. Many many thank you's. Please never underestimate the mega important role you play in my mum's life. Thank you.

Unable to complete a full review as I have only visited Dad in the garden, due to Covid-19. However, the bits I have seen and witnessed, I am delighted to see how the people at Kinmel Lodge are taking care of my father. Everyone is dancing with rules and procedures, but even so, the people are doing
their utmost to provide a caring and professional level of care. All you can do is trust people you love with people paid to care. So far the care level is tremendous.

We would like to thank all the staff at Kinmel Lodge care home, Kinmel Bay, for the way they have and are looking after our friend. Every time we visited her before the lockdown, she was always very pleased to see us and always praised the way she was being looked after. Since the lockdown, we have
still been able to stay in touch with video calls which she looks forward to on a regular basis. A big thank you must go to all the staff for taking the time out to do this, it really makes her day, and ours.

The care home was proactive and responded very quickly to the potential consequences of the adverse effect the coronavirus could potentially have for residents and locked the facility down very early. During this period, my mother has had a few issues, but the staff dealt with them quickly and kept
me well informed.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.503)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.503) out of 10 for Kinmel Lodge 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.903 for Kinmel Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.903
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kinmel Lodge is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 6 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.
