Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At the first viewing, I was very impressed with the place.
The office staff were very helpful and supportive and always ready to help.
Compared to her previous care home in Enfield, where there was no improvement in her health and her disability is worse. She would be in tears sometimes when we visited.
Acorns
Lodge Care Home care workers are friendly and caring, I can see the difference on my aunt's face, she smiles. She's starting to say a few words.
Now when I ask her if she like this place, she said yes.
This is an amazing care home.

We are extremely thankful to the staff at Acorn Lodge who cared for our dad. All the staff took great care of Dad and supported us throughout the whole process. Everyone took the time to know us as a family in order to provide support to our dad. The staff were very knowledgeable and caring and we couldn't

Absolutely amazing care for my mum from all the staff at Acorn Lodge. My mum came in during lockdown, which could have been so difficult, but she was made to feel at home straight away even under lockdown circumstances. As my mum's illness progressed the staff were sensitive to her changing needs and
helped her maintain her dignity right up until the end. I'm moved to tears when I think of the kindness shown to my mum, from all the staff but a special thank you to 2 members of staff in particular who were there at the end. My sister and I are so grateful to you all.

Mum was only at Acorn Lodge Care Centre for a short time, but the staff made her happy during this time until she passed away. All the staff, without exception, were so kind and caring, towards Mum and the rest of the family, and it was a great relief to know that Mum was receiving 24/7 care from such
lovely people. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home, especially for people suffering with dementia - the staff are highly trained, and seemed to have a solution for any problem. Thank you so much for taking care of Mum, and for your support on that last day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A truly amazing place of care! Every single member of staff at Acorn Lodge was responsible for making the last two years of my mother's life some of the happiest and safest. Mum came during the lockdown, the transition could have been extremely traumatic for her but the care support and love shown towards
her during a time when I could not see her meant that there was no trauma only a real sense of safety and calm. In my absence, the staff at Acorn Lodge became her family, they cared for her tirelessly and lovingly and I will forever be grateful. She was treated with the utmost respect; despite her declining health, they enabled her to maintain her dignity and her best interest was always at the heart of every decision made about her care. Knowing that she was cared for in such a beautiful way afforded me the peace of mind needed. What they do at Acorn Lodge cannot simply be defined as just care it's far more than that. From the depths of my heart Acorn Lodge, thank you.

Cynthia, what can we say, these words are truly lovely and heartfelt, it means a lot to us. Thank you for your kind words, you have bought tears to our eyes this morning, privileged to care for our old people and the pleasure is all ours.

The staff at Acorn Lodge made my mother's last two months very comfortable. The care they gave her was extremely good. They also made visitors welcome. Over the Jubilee weekend they laid on a party for the residents and invited relatives and friends to attend as well. I would highly recommend this Care

My mother was at Acorn Lodge for many years and she was treated with dignity and respect throughout her stay. The staff have been wonderful and caring. Our family felt she was in very safe hands. The staff have always been so friendly and kind to the whole family. As a family, we couldn’t think of a
better place for our mother to be cared for. We can’t thank the home enough.

Our mum came to Acorn Lodge during lockdown, this was a very difficult time but the staff here made it so much better. They facilitated phone calls, FaceTime, and outdoor visits. They made our mum's room homely and put her familiar pictures, ornaments, and photos all around her so she felt at home.
Now we can visit in her room we can see for ourselves how caring all the staff are, this care home has such a caring, friendly and family atmosphere. We are so grateful.

Acorn Lodge provided very warm and caring support for Mum. The staff took the time to get to know her and understand her moods and preferences. The stability of the staff meant it was possible for my mother, sister, and I to develop close relationships with the staff and this was a great comfort to

Review from Emma H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at this care home for 4 years and was bed-bound throughout this period. It was a really difficult time for her, physically and mentally. The staff showed amazing patience, skill and humanity, learning to understand her and to provide the best care possible. She was kept in better
health than in a previous care home, and developed bonds with a number of carers, due to their consistent kindness and sensitivity. There is no agency staff, and so my mum did not have to get used to new carers very often, which would have been hard for her. The home is extremely well managed, and even during the pandemic, the staff were upbeat and confidence-inspiring. The phone is always answered and queries are dealt with quickly and helpfully by the office team. Over the years, the staff supported me and my family, as well as my mother, and I feel I owe them all a huge debt of gratitude for the care and compassion that they showed to all of us.

From the outside of Acorn Lodge the building is unassuming and a little lacking character.
That said, the best part is the staff and carers that make such a difference to the residents that live there. During this pandemic, the staff have come up trumps in terms of looking after the residents and giving
them the care and attention that the families are unable to provide.
Being able to visit and see our mum in the garden room is not ideal although the staff make it special and interact in a lovely way with all parties. I would recommend Acorn Lodge to everyone.

My mother was a resident at Acorn Lodge for nearly five years. She has limited capacity when she arrived and none for over three years. She could not have been more vulnerable, but not once did I have the slightest concern of her wellbeing - she was always scrupulously clean and always dressed nicely.
Her skin, even when bed-bound was always perfect, and her posture was maintained. Obviously, there was a turnover in staff over this period, but the high standards always remained the same, which must reflect well on the expectations of the management and the training given.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.318)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.318) out of 10 for Acorn Lodge Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 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 4.745 for Acorn Lodge Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.745
  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 3.573 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorn Lodge Care Centre 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 101 registered maximum number of service users is 20.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.198
  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.
