Review from Marcia G (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father 93 years is a new resident!. He has only been with them a few days, I was scared of placing him in a nursing home as you hear some horror stories! I need not have worried, he is so happy! I had to write this review as I'm quite overwhelmed at the care he is receiving.


My father is a dear

old soul but due to his dementia, he can become agitated and frustrated when personal care is being attended to him and doesn't like change. He is a very hygienic man he was only able to be given a bed bath before he arrived, already in a few days the staff have gone out of their way to attend to his personal care - It's second to none! He has been showered, shaved, nails cut, everything you could want and more in keeping him clean at this difficult stage!


He socialises in the day room, he is interacting with other people and staff, he is not just closed off in his room and forgotten! He has started to eat well again which indicates he must feel safe and secure. All I can say is what a smashing place it is!

Review from Mavis T (Wife of Resident) published on 2 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband spent his last weeks of life in Godden Lodge and could not have received better care. I was overwhelmed not only by the care and kindness shown to him, but the kindness showed to my family and I. There are so many stories about care homes and their treatment but the staff here are exceptional
and work as a team to provide the outstanding understanding, which results in the genuine commitment to the patients. Working with dementia is so hard, as I found over ten years myself, but all I observed was cheerfulness and patience. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.494)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.494) out of 10 for Godden Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.494 for Godden Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (99 Goods x 4) + (35 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 449 Ratings = 4.494
  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 Godden Lodge Care Home is based on 34 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 133 registered maximum number of service users is 26.6, which has been reached with 34 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.
