Excellent nursing care in a well-staffed friendly environment. The individuals’ needs are considered and residents are encouraged to participate in well-run appropriate activities. Management were approachable, listened and acted on concerns and requests.

A very nice nursing home. Staff are very helpful and friendly. My sister-in-law is very happy there. Very well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been a resident of Haven Lodge since February 2018. Her care has been excellent in every way. If I have any questions all I do is see the senior carer or admin and I am given an answer. Also, my sister's named carer is always willing to discuss her care in detail. Nothing is too much bother
for any of the staff, from the Manager down, through the grades. Well done all.

Review from Doreen R (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum was nursed and cared for during the last six years of her life by the staff at Haven Lodge. The hard work and dedication to achieve a safe and comfortable environment for all those vulnerable people in their care give peace of mind to families who have to take responsibility for their loved one's
last years. From a friendly welcome to a busy and efficient laundry and a kitchen producing excellent, well-balanced menus and special diets are catered for too. 24-hour nursing covers the health and comfort of all, and carers give personal care whenever required. General housekeeping covers the continuous job of keeping all areas clean and all sections are overseen by management based at Haven Lodge. They know their residents and do an excellent on the spot job.

When my husband and I went to visit this home it felt so right for my mum.
Since my mum has been living here her health has improved. The staff treat her with dignity and love. She is now one of the care homes family. The best home ever, staff are amazing and the food is beautiful. The event's organiser
is also amazing.
Nothing is too much trouble, a real diamond of a care home.

I cannot fault the care my mum received Haven Lodge. They all go above and beyond their care and kindness to my mum. I visit daily and am also welcomed with open arms always offered a drink and cake. I am always advised of any information I need to be aware of concerning the care and any pain relief
she may have needed during my absense. I cannot wish her in better care than at Haven Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Haven Lodge 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.716 for Haven Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.716
  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 Haven Lodge is based on 18 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
