I visited my cousin yesterday and was so impressed with care provided. She was clean, content and the staff gave me a update on how she is doing. I especially want to thank on member of staff in particular, who went the extra mile with her. She interacted with him and he treated her like family. I would
recommend Sycamore Lodge to anyone.

I have received a lot of kindness from the staff in Sycamore Lodge during the period my sisters have been cared for. There is a very high standard of cleanliness in the rooms. The rooms are spacious and well laid out. The quality of the meals has improved. There is always a good atmosphere in the dining
room, lounge area. The management have listened to any issues I have raised and acted on them. Thank you.

Yet another piece of my property goes missing, a particular mug when I was moved from one room to another. A container containing Christmas DVDs and CDs was opened and some of the DVDs and CDs were found in a grey container so I can only presume some were not there. A particular game (for games in the
car) which was a prize to me also disappeared. People seem to think that as I am in a wheelchair I must be gaga but I can still do £'s of sums. I used to think I would recommend Sycamore Lodge but not anymore.

Our family member stayed at Sycamore Lodge for approximately 5 months. She was well cared for and supported by members of staff who were attentive, kind, professional and courteous at all times. The family appreciated the consistency in care staff which meant we as a family had good communication about
our loved one.

Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
Some time ago, I had the shocking news of needing a heart operation in October 2022, with no family near or on hand.
The only option could be respite care and quick.
My husband was booked in by a very informative manager, pleasant and full of needed information, obviously, I was very worried. We have
never been apart for more than a few days at a time due to family visits etc. We have been married 59 years, so yes, I was full of indecision about how would he handle this; he has Dementia/Alzheimers.
Well, I had no need to be worried or concerned and have not at any time since at all, in any way; what a relief for us all.
During my visit, the day before my heart operation to kiss goodbye and see you very soon, I stood up to kiss him and collapsed, and my hip was shattered - straight away, the staff kicked in, and hubby was taken safely to his room, while they wheel-chaired me out to the ambulance.
It was then necessary for me to have an emergency hip operation, yes, hip, not heart, which was expected - wow, shock, yes.
My husband is still in Sycamore Lodge due to convalescing after emergency hip surgery and then had to have a heart operation and convalescing again.
I can not begin to tell you how wonderful he has been looked after, and more importantly, how safe he has been in there; can you imagine being full of concern and absolutely none was needed; I never ever came away worried; he was so safe, so calm, and quite happy to see me when all the emergencies had been dealt with my health. The staff are so welcoming; you look forward to seeing them and having chats with other people being looked after for various reasons.
The food is fantastic, I mean that fantastic; every single thing is so clean, the lounge a friendly place to chat or have a sleep in one of the many armchairs.,
There's a routine that's needed with dementia, and there are activities; I've seen them, there are exercises, I've seen games, birthday teas, and guests taken to the garden when requested a carer.

We, as a family, have a very positive experience with the staff regarding the care our sister receives day-in-day-out. The staff are very caring and friendly, and they look after our sister really well. Nothing is too much for them regarding the care they give. We have got nothing to say except that
the staff working on her unit are our champions.

My sister has been residing at Sycamore Lodge for the past five years. She has been cared for by excellent staff, who have gone beyond and above their duty. My sister and us have been treated with respect and dignity throughout. I can only express my gratitude to the care staff.
However, the maintenance
of the rooms and building has not been kept up and also the quality of food has been going - most food provided is prepared from frozen - veggies and less and less meat are very much noticeable.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We are happy to know you are happy with the care provided to your sister. We take all feedback very seriously; our sincere apologies for the issues you are facing, and we will fully investigate these issues immediately and take any necessary actions if required.

I have always had a very good experience when visiting Sycamore Lodge. I have found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I have thought about how clean and tidy the halls are, well cared for and no unpleasant smells.
The staff, almost always offer me tea or coffee, and the cleaners, I think
do a very good job.
I only wish that the Lodge had been there when my mum needed a home.
My only thought is that it would be nice to have a seat for visitors in their rooms.

Very clean, smells nice. Mum loves the privacy when her children visit her. Mum loves mealtimes; she has a variety

I am happy with the care my mother is getting at Sycamore Lodge care home. She is much more comfortable and happier than when she first arrived, which I believe is due to the care and support from the staff. The room she is in is always very tidy, clean and well organised. Overall because of the environment
at the home, her health, ie, physically and mentally is much improved.

Current Review Score: 6.9 (6.872)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 6.9 (6.872) out of 10 for Sycamore Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
The Average Rating is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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:
5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 3.617 for Sycamore Lodge is calculated as follows:
(
(12 Excellents x 5)
+
(12 Goods x 4)
+
(16 Satisfactorys x 3)
+
(7 Poors x 2)
)
÷ 47 Ratings = 3.617
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 3.255 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sycamore Lodge is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
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
= 3.125
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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.4 = 0.13
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
