When my brother went into Stormont Lodge he was in a very poor physical state. His mental health wa also poor. It did not take the team at Stormont Lodge long to bring him back from the brink; they have done a fantastic job over the past 2 years. Dawn and her team have been fantastic.

I am happy with mum's care at the home. She is always clean and tidy. There is always something going on for the residents, and the staff really care. Since Dawn has taken over as the manager, the home feels warmer, and nothing is too much trouble. The carers are superb; however Mags stands out as wonderful.

My husband is now in full time care. It is very upsetting but the staff are so good, it helps me know he is well looked after and I am looked after with help and updates.
The lounge and dining area are clean and tidy and the food looks good. Games are fun for all and a party is due at the end of October.
My
husband is safe and well cared for and that helps me.

This was my first visit to the care home, and it was delightful to see and hear from the residents how happy they were to be there. They are kept fully occupied and entertained, and friendships are made. I was welcomed as a visitor and invited to join the activities, and shared a meal with everyone.
The follow-up with photos of the day and past events is great. A happy home to live in.

Review from Lindsay C (Son of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We could not be happier with the loving care and kindness our mother receives from all the wonderful staff at Stormont Lodge Care Home. Our mother is so happy and contented, we can say without fear of contradiction that she could not be in a better plaice. The building and surroundings are lovely,
which she of course loves, but more importantly she is genuinely so fond of everyone at Stormont and comments all the time about how lovely everyone is and nothing is any bother to them. This kindness was recently clearly demonstrated again by all the staff when our mother's friend and our sister's mother in law very sadly passed away. She was also a resident at Stormont, which was the main reason we decided to try and find mum a place there as well, a decision we are so thankful we made. When it was evident mum's friend was deteriorating, the staff were so supportive and showed great tenderness towards mum and gave her lots of love and support during what was a difficult time for her.

I really appreciate the kind, attentive, professional way the staff here look after and care for my mother. Thank you. I really like the atmosphere at the care home and the way the staff interact with each other and the residents. It's like a loving extended family here. I cannot thank the staff enough,
especially one staff member, for their kindness towards my mother and also towards me. The home is bright, clean, well-maintained with a really pleasant "vibe" feeling. Staff are open, genuine and always approachable for questions and any queries/concerns.

My mum has been in Stormont Lodge since December 2022 and the care and attention she received was outstanding. The staff were always kind and caring even although their job is not always easy. The mix of different nationalities have been an asset to Stormont Lodge. The atmosphere in the home is always
calm & friendly. I always felt part of the family whenever I went. The food and entertainment was always great. Appointing the manager was a great decision. She has great ideas and has made such a difference to the running of the home. Sadly my mum passed away on 02nd May. The staff were so kind and helpful.

I arrived today at 12.30 to visit Mum - had not realised that this was lunchtime. However, this gave me the opportunity to see lunch being served.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for Stormont Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 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 4.809 for Stormont Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.809
  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 Stormont 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, 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.
