Our thanks for the care given to Mum. The women who sort out her laundry and keep her room and loo clean and fresh are wonderful. These lovely ladies are friendly and chatty and we really appreciate their care.
The carers are supportive of Mum and seem to know what she wants and how best to approach
her.
Our thanks too to all the admin staff who deal with our concerns and make us feel welcome.

My father was at Bishopsmead Lodge in April 2023 for end-of-life-care. The staff were all amazing with him and us, the relatives. They were always very caring, friendly and considerate. The food looked nice and edible and the rooms all looked clean and have an individual homely feel to them.

What a care home. The care was absolutely amazing. The dedication of everyone was outstanding.
The care my sister had was 110%, she wanted for nothing. She was there for end-of-life care and we could not have wished for any more of the care she had. The staff are amazing and very special people to
do that job. We were also looked after as well.

Review from Suzanne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely pleased with the service and care provided by all the team/staff at the care home. My dad is a resident here and is very happy and comfortable. It is very clean and tidy whenever I visit, and the staff always have a smile on their faces. Thank you all so much for all you do to keep my
dad comfortable. Unfortunately, the only lift they have is broken and when my mum visits, it's just a little difficult for her to climb the stairs, but she insists on climbing.
Reply from Katie Barnett, Marketing Executive at Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home

Thank you, Suzanne, for letting us know how we are doing at Bishopsmead Care Home. The care and well-being of every resident is our number one priority, and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how we are doing. We are pleased to say that the lift is now fixed and apologies for any inconvenience this caused. Take care.

All the team, from top to bottom, looked after my wife in the best ways possible. They showed considerable compassion and went beyond what would be expected of them. I could not have asked for more. Yours sincerely.

My mother was sent to Bishopsmead from the hospital as her dementia had worsened. The manager and staff were extremely kind and helpful throughout her stay and made both my mother and father feel much better about her care. Professional and caring, they provided a great environment. As a relative, I
had total trust in them. I cannot commend them highly enough. Please pass on our thanks to them all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was put into care in the middle of the pandemic 2020. We had no views and didn't know what to expect. You hear so many bad stories, but we were so pleased with this home. When we got in to see her the staff greeted us as one of the family. They treat mum like a queen, they are at her beck and
call. The girls are so down to earth and friendly, they will do anything for her. She's well looked after, her room is beautiful. It's got everything she needs and there's always some sort of entertainment to keep them busy. They are all amazing. I'm so glad she's safe and happy there.

I brought my mother here after a very unpleasant experience at another care home where she was unhappy and not looked after. By contrast, she is now treated with care and dignity. The staff are delightful, very friendly and take time to chat with mum regularly throughout the day. It is a well-led team
and most have worked here for several years, this is an indication of a happy environment and is reflected in the care of the residents.
Thanks to all.

If you are in any doubt whether your relative will be cared for in a loving way at Bishopsmead Lodge, be reassured.
From our initial contact to the difficult first visit to move our relative in, the staff could not have been more attentive.
The staff have been wonderful and our relative is settling
in and we know he is in the "right" place.

My brother moved in on the 3rd June and has some quite challenging needs. I was very anxious about the move but from the first contact I had with staff, I have been very impressed and reassured. After a bit of a shaky start, my brother has settled in very well and the staff have all been very caring,
helpful and professional. I am very happy he is in their good hands.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.681 for Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.681
  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 Bishopsmead Lodge Care Home is based on 19 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
