Review from David N (Son of Resident) published on 21 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mother has been at Norewood Lodge for nearly 5 years. She is content, happy and has received excellent care from the beginning. Whist the standards are high it is the care she receives from the staff which makes Norewood special.

Review from Sarah S (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mother's stay at this home was appalling and I only write this review in the hope that it helps others avoid the same distress. Ensure that the person who visits you writes down your needs as you explain them and make sure you cover everything even if not asked. For example; if you mention you have
a sore back, do you want to be woken and turned several times during the night? Do you need a walker or any other adaptation? If so you will have to take yours with you.
Check that your medicines all have their use by dates still on them, else they can't be given. Don't accept an 'arrive anytime' invitation unless you don't mind them being too busy to settle you in. If you want a clock or a softer light than the bright ceiling lights, take them with you.
They say they have taken these points on board, so hopefully, no one will have to suffer like my mother again.

Review from Doris W (Wife of Resident) published on 20 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During the 9 months my husband was a resident at Norwood Lodge, with vascular dementia and unable to walk, my family and I could not fault the care he was given. From the cleaners, maintenance staff, carers, nurses, admin staff to the manager; all of whom were there for his entire stay. Both he and
I were treated with great respect and care, I visited him every day. When he was very close to death, I was phoned that evening by the nurse, and stayed with him until he died. Both of us were shown such kindness.

This is the second time my husband has had respite care at Norewood Lodge. His care was excellent. He has so many needs following a major stroke and totally dependent on carers. Staff were exceptional, very professional. noting any concerns and informing me.

I always felt that dad had an arm around his shoulder while he was a resident at Norewood Lodge. I always found the staff very kind and caring.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for Norewood 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.733 for Norewood Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 161 Ratings = 4.733
  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 Norewood Lodge Care Home is based on 13 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 13 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.

Job Title: Regional Support Manager Joined: 2015

I am currently a regional support manager and the registered home manager of Norewood Lodge Care Home. I have worked for Bupa since 2015 in a number of roles and joined Norewood Lodge in December 2023.


I first qualified as a registered nurse in 2012 and I worked in a number of NHS hospitals before I joined Bupa. I worked in neurosurgery and neuro rehab and cared for adults with cognitive impairment and brain injury.


I really found this rewarding and when I was presented with an opportunity to be the clinical lead of a large Bupa care home where I could apply my interest in caring for people with cognitive impairment to those who live in care homes, I jumped at the chance. I soon realised that I thrived in leading a team to deliver positive outcomes for our residents and haven’t looked back since.


What I enjoy the most is leading a team to deliver great outcomes for our residents. It’s the little things that make a resident’s day that I find the most rewarding. I also really enjoy being part of the Bupa team. We are all so well connected which means there is always support on hand and creates a feeling of security and honesty.


Outside of work, I live locally in Portishead and I have 2 daughters. I also like to try and keep fit and healthy.
