Review from P S (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 17 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father in law moved to Chatsworth Lodge a year ago after a batch of ill health. He is not able to move around on his own anymore so living here has given him the constant safety and security he now needs with care staff on hand to attend to his needs including personal hygiene and washing clothes.
The day accommodation is warm, bright and airy. He is not able to join in with some of the entertainment arranged but the TV areas and hustle and bustle of activities help to create a homely (not alone) feel. Meals are regular, ample and well presented. Night time accommodation is comfortable with many additional safety features introduced to counteract his nocturnal activities as he has the propensity to fall out of bed. The home reliably manages prescribed drugs and ensures medical attention is provided. It has given me peace of mind knowing he is in a place of safety during this difficult time of his life.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are friendly and caring with good efforts of communication to residents. The cooks ask what meal is requested individually to the residents. But staffing levels or just haste to get people up means skin creams and sometimes teeth cleaning do not happen. A good atmosphere.
Issues:-
Hearing
aids can be lost and found days later.
Clothes/toiletries are lost eg a named coat.
Chiropodist infrequent.
Laundry - clothes returned to the wrong room.

Staff are generally friendly and helpful. My uncle is not a fan of loud TVs having reasonable hearing himself. Also, not a fan of group activities although I can see the benefit amongst other residents.

My aunty has been in Chatsworth Lodge for one month so it is early days to have witnessed 'across the board' but I can say the staff are all excellent and caring and welcoming to all visitors and the care my aunt has received has been very good so far. The other residents all appear happy and well looked
after.

Mum is clean and very well cared for. Residency always smells fresh and clean food is tasty, nourishing, well presented and the homemade cakes, soups delicious sandwiches etc. Visitors invited to eat with residents, I love the various areas encouraging interaction with others. All tastefully decorated.
Mum says "I love the staff and they love me" I can see why she says that as from the management, carers and kitchen staff are wonderful.

Chatsworth Lodge Care Home is a very homely place. I visit my relative regularly and am welcomed by staff and the manager.
Since the new manager has been in post, the home has grown with her, her vibrance is infectious. So glad to hear CQC gave them five Goods. Well done to you all.

When entering the home, I was greeted by the manager, who gave me a real warm welcome and was able to answer any questions I had about my relative.


The home is wonderful and offers a home from home experience and would recommend to anyone.


Absolutely fabulous.

My father went into Chatsworth Lodge for a weeks respite and I cannot praise them enough. They were brilliant. The staff are happy and smiley talking to the residents and making sure they are Ok at all times. The place is clean, no old people home smells and good home cooked meals. Dad does not like
going away from home but I need a break now and then. He liked it there and is keen to go in again which says a lot. The manager is busy but always has time for you, she is a credit to Chatsworth Lodge. Thank you to all the staff, they are wonderful.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.479)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.479) out of 10 for Chatsworth 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.479 for Chatsworth Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (93 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.479
  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 Chatsworth Lodge Care Home is based on 25 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 25 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.
