Review from Yvonne C (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home has a fantastic staff, who are dedicated and go above to provide a caring service to the clients. The relationships built with the staff are second to none. The building itself shows attention to detail with the additional extras the staff provide. The staff also keep good communication
with the family. I really appreciate the effort put in.

My dad moved into the Care Home in April this year due to health problems. He is being very well looked after and made to feel very welcome by all the staff. The staff are always very helpful in dealing with any enquiries or problems.

My uncle moved into Eagle Lodge care home back in January and we were unsure what to expect. But we are very happy with the care he receives and they are always doing lots of activities and days out. All the staff get on with him and he has a good banter with them.

Since my Dad took up residency in Eagle Lodge in April 2023 his care and his life experience, which started in a good place, has continued to grow without losing sight of the essentials. As a result when ask him, he tells us he is happy which only builds our confidence in the staff and the way Eagle
Lodge is run.

Review from Alistair M (Brother of Resident) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was a resident in Eagle Lodge for 5 years until her recent death aged 87.
She spent her later years suffering from dementia, however, the care and attention she received at Eagle Lodge was absolutely superb and helped her to cope with her illness.
The many activities the residents enjoyed
on a daily basis are a testament to how well this home is run with a particular focus on music, hairdressing, and simple activities to keep the residents mentally active.
The first thing I noticed the first time I visited was the absence of any unpleasant smells, my sister's room was always warm and comfortable and well ventilated and spotlessly clean.
Keep up the good work and well done all of you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lived at Eagle Lodge for nearly two and a half years until she sadly passed away on Easter day. She had dementia and other health issues. I live nearby and visited her almost daily during her time there and was able to see the day-to-day treatment of residents and the overall performance of
the care home in a detailed way.
I cannot overstate how grateful we are to the team at Eagle Lodge for their wonderful care. The uplifting, Salvation Army spiritual emphasis, wonderful care and food combined with a busy and cheerful programme of activities; outings and importantly singing made Mum's stay at Eagle Lodge a pleasure.

My Mum has been a resident in Eagle Lodge for 8 years and the care that she receives is second to none. All staff are approachable and go out of their way to ensure the well being of all residents. When Mum went in we did not expect her to live for long due to conditions that she had but due to the
excellent care she has received she is now approaching her 92nd birthday. As a family, we are also kept informed and we feel 'quite at home' when we visit. Cannot rate high enough.

My dad was anxious when moving to Eagle Lodge. They helped him settle in and now he loves his new home. He does get frustrated now and then but that's age-related. They go out of their way to please him and he has developed a great relationship with the staff. He recently went to the theatre and cinema
and couldn't wait to share his experience with me. My dad is happy so that makes me very happy.

Review from E J M (Regular Volunteer) published on 12 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a volunteer, I go along when I can to help with a card making activity. The residents love this and the cards are then sold in the care home to raise funds to provide treats for the residents. We can have a wee sing song while making cards and one lady, who never came down from her room just loves
card making and is an excellent vendor of the cards at the bi-annual fairs held at the care home. It is heartwarming to see how caring and dedicated all staff are and all are welcomed whether visiting briefly or not! If I ever need to go into care, this would be my number 1 choice!

Eagle Lodge is a wonderful place, staffed by caring, empathetic people. When you enter the building it feels like home. Mum has been there for over 2 years and has been very well cared for. I have been made very welcome as a family member. If you are looking for somewhere for an elderly family member,
do consider Eagle Lodge but don't take my word for it, arrange a visit and see for yourself!

Review from Pat W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For the two and a half years until her death aged 99, Eagle Lodge provided exemplary care for my mother. She was well looked after, fed well, enjoyed many activities and outings and, above all, was very happy despite her strong misgivings about going into a care home in the first place. The staff, without
exception, were empathetic, very competent and friendly and kept closely in touch with our family. In fact, they became a second family for my mother. Their end-of-life care after my mother suffered an irrecoverable stroke could not have been better or more dedicated.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.766) out of 10 for Eagle Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.552 for Eagle Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.552
  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 4.214 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eagle Lodge is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.714
  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.
