  • Latham Lodge Nursing and Residential Care Home, Waterlooville
Latham Lodge enjoys an enviable reputation for delivering the very highest standards of residential, nursing and palliative care, on a permanent and short stay basis, in a homely and friendly environment in Purbrook.

The home manager has a qualified nursing background and the dedicated care team works very closely with each of the residents, their families and loved ones, to ensure personally tailored care plans are put in place.

Formerly a substantial 1930s family residence, Latham Lodge nursing home provides an environment that retains a real sense of home. The light and spacious environment offers a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. When the weather is fine, residents can enjoy the delightful gardens.

Latham Lodge is home to residents and the team never loses sight of that and residents are encouraged to bring important personal possessions to personalise their rooms.

Every person is part of the Latham Lodge family. The highly skilled nurses and carers take time to get to know all of the residents. They know their stories because they know how to listen, and because it is so important to them, it defines the services they offer.

By connecting with residents in this way, staff can ensure that they feel comfortable and happy. They are not there to take over lives, they are there to help live them, and always on hand with discreet assistance when required.

The social atmosphere is enhanced by a flexible programme of activities and events which focuses on physical and emotional health and wellbeing while looking to make the most of community links and personal interests.

Review from Charlie M (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff were amazing from the day we viewed to the day we lost our beloved Nan the staff went above and beyond every day good and bad. Not only for Nan, but for the family too. They truly care about all the residents on a personal level which makes the care they provide so much better. I thank
them for all that they did and would be happy to have any other family go there if the time came. Thank you to you - you're all a blessing.

Review from Jane D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law, for whom I am primary carer; moved into Latham Lodge from hospital under the NHS Continuous Care scheme having been given a terminal diagnosis.
She was s resident for nearly three weeks until she died on April 7th.
The care, kindness and love she received from all the staff was exemplary.
As a family, we cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful treatment she received.
I praise Latham Lodge and recommend it at every opportunity and the family members thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

Review from Kathleen Y (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Wanted to give due credit to two members of staff at Latham Lodge. My mother was welcomed into the home on Thursday 29th Sept after a long spell in hospital, diagnosed with terminal brain tumour and other problems. She spent just one night and one day and was well cared for such that she was referred
back to the hospital on Friday 30th Sept. Such prompt assessment led to readmission with suspected pneumonia. Two staff members were very thorough and telephoned me to inform of their decision and exactly the right thing to have done. I am so grateful that as a new resident they did everything they could to deal efficiently with the situation.

Review from Helen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Father was at Latham Lodge for almost 3 years, and both Dad & his family/visitors were looked after well & treated with kindness and courtesy, from EVERY member of staff.
Latham Lodge may not be the smartest looking Nursing Home compared to some of larger more 'hotel' looking care homes, but they
have what matters in abundance. A relatively small turnover of staff, Staff who are friendly, knowledgeable, kind & who REALLY look after their residents. The staff are what makes Latham Lodge a great place for your loved one.
I have no reservations in recommending this Care Home to you. Don't be put off by the look of the place from outside or the décor within. It's clean, and the staff are the absolute heart of the place.
Reply from Sylvia Morse-Carter, Home Manager at Latham Lodge Nursing and Residential Care Home

Dear Helen, thank you so much for taking the time to review Latham Lodge, especially at such a sad time.
Your father was a pleasure to care for and we have felt his loss keenly. The team would also like to thank you for the wonderful cupcakes and beautiful card you left; they really were appreciated and our thoughts are with you.
At Latham Lodge we take great pride in ensuring we deliver high quality care and we build our care team to ensure they are able to provide person centred care and spend valuable time with our residents.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Latham Lodge Nursing and Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.898 for Latham Lodge Nursing and Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.898
  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 Latham Lodge Nursing and Residential Care Home is based on 11 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 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.
