Review from Bryan G (Stepson of Resident) published on 20 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to move my stepmom due to dementia related episodes from a previous nursing home, supported by social services. Myself I came from a performance driven organisation, I needed to support my stepmom with 100% quality nursing care, with love and assurance this would be possible. On initial first
asking and monitoring actions across a wide range of activities, I could not fault this nursing home! This had already been established, communicated within everyone who was committed towards total quality of exceptional personal care. All staff take pride in everything they do, and are happy in doing so! They provide a fantastic service always going that extra mile to ensure all residents, families, third parties and their own staff are accounted for. Communication is second to none. Delicate and personal situations dealt with, always professional, treated with sincerest empathy, guidance direction and support. This is down to the team, and the vision of its matron. Thank you!

Like most families, we were devastated to put Dad in a Nursing Home after Hospital, but his resulting complex health needs gave us no choice. However, we considered ourselves and Dad blessed to have found The Old Lodge. From the moment we viewed, to seeing day after day, the passion, dedication and
care every staff member showed him, (regardless of role), we knew Dad could not have been in better hands. The team are truly special and is a credit to the matron, whose empathy, compassion and absolute love for her role, shine through. It was so apparent every person caring for Dad shared the same ethos as the matron. It is hard to convey just how exceptional this place is. Dad very sadly passed away in August 2023 and my family and I will never forget the truly outstanding care he received. The whole team treated Dad with such respect and dignity and consequently, this gave such comfort to us and to my Mum, who for the first time in 68 years, was without her adored partner.

To hand over the care of one's own loving mum is indeed a massive step for a family, which the Matron at The Old Lodge intuitively understands. She and her staff worked tirelessly to provide our Mum with consistently excellent nursing care for her body and mind over a period of five years. The family
could not have been made to feel more welcome and we were fully consulted and included. The Home is immaculately clean and it is clear in every aspect of the way it is run that the overriding priority is the health and well-being of the residents. Simply outstanding.

Dad has been at Old Lodge for just over a month, having spent 7 months in hospital previously. The care he has received has been exceptional, with kindness being shown by all members of staff to Dad. His mental health has changed completely, from being very introverted and quiet to now showing normal
facial expressions, having an interest in his surroundings and his appearance, plus his appetite is now back to normal. Thanks to everyone at Old Lodge for your work and care, so far.
Reply from Khadiga Orta, Director at The Old Lodge Nursing Home
It is a privilege and honour to provide care that is deemed above satisfactory by people who reside at the Old Lodge. We, of course, are very grateful to the family for such positive comments, Matron.

My disabled son lives at the Old Lodge Nursing Home. The standards are excellent, he's well looked after, the home is spotless and the staff are very hard working. My son is always clean and happy and his needs are met really well. His room is spotless and his bed is changed every day. I'm very happy
he is with the Old Lodge, whenever I visit, I always get a cup of tea and cake. I recommend The Old Lodge.

My brother, who has had epilepsy, has been looked after for 2 years plus. Coffee and cake in the room she visits my brother at the home with friendly staff. Staff always make her feel welcome and look after my brother day and night 24/7 and there is always someone for me to ring to check on him. As
you go in, it's absolutely immaculate and clean, always someone in my brother's room cleaning to ensure 5-star hygiene. They even paid for equipment for epileptic needs out of their own pocket and we're extremely grateful for that. A 5-star care home for people in need of professional care.

We are very grateful for your kind and appreciative words. It is our duty of care for your brother to provide excellent care. It is great that you feel that your brother is well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner moved to The Old Lodge for, what turned out to be, the last 6 weeks of his life. During those 6 weeks, I witnessed a standard of care that was second to none. The manager's infectious enthusiasm for the care of her residents filtered down to the care staff and no one could have done more.
The nurses were attentive and kept me well informed regarding his condition. He was looked after with respect, dignity and empathy and the staff were always full of life which transferred to the residents. I directly observed the skills of the staff and how they reflected the individual needs of the resident and even though we were in the most difficult of times, everything was cleaned and wiped down after every visit. The food was excellent and adjusted to meet his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend The Old Lodge to anyone, they not only look after the residents but the family too. I stayed with my partner for the last 3 days and was checked on, given lunch and dinner as well as tea.

My dad spent the last few months of his life in this care home and I can honestly say, it was such a good care home. The staff are genuinely caring! My dad was given end of life care and in that time he had left, the care was outstanding! The food is fantastic too, and the place itself is very clean!
Thanks to all of the amazing staff there for helping my dad. I would 100 per cent recommend this place to anyone. Thanks to all the staff.

My son has been at Old Lodge since July and I have nothing but praise for them and he has been looked after. The staff are all very caring and professional. He is now moving to a nursing home nearer to us, as it was quite a way to travel. This is the only reason I am moving him, as it is difficult for
family and friends to travel to visit him. I give my heartfelt thanks to all the staff at The Old Lodge; you have been outstanding with your caring ways. Thank you all again - you are brilliant.

My Dad has lived the last 3 years at The Old Lodge Nursing Home. The management team and highly skilled professional nursing staff provide exemplary care. The nurses cared for Dad with compassion and patience and showed him respect as the individual he was. Their patience was important as dad could
be very trying at times but loving. The fantastic auxiliary staff provides fresh clean laundry, a spotlessly clean room, and very importantly for Dad, food that met his culinary expectations. An extra thanks to all the above people for the kindness they each extended to Dad, that of friendship shown in the times they stopped to chat to him, to share a joke, and above all to laugh with him. We believe this kindness and the exceptional care he received extended Dad's life enabling him to reach his 90th Birthday before he passed away, having lived a happy comfortable last few years there. I can recommend the entrustment of any loved one's care and happiness to these wonderful professionals.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 101-year-old mother has been a resident here for two years. The Home is exceptional. Staff at all levels are professional, caring and highly skilled. It is an immaculate, happy, well-fed home. It is covid-free to date. The management works hard to strike a balance between maintaining the mental well-being
of residents and the need to stay Covid-safe. Although my mother can no longer enjoy her daily family visits, I can spend time with her weekly by appointment, adhering to strict infection control. Carers are unfailingly kind; they facilitate video calls with family members and arrange individual activities for my mum in her room or just take time to sit and chat with her and keep her company.

The Victorians built an isolation hospital in the country, just outside Etwall, Derbyshire which has been transformed into a 5 star care home, for up to 40 guests, called The Old Lodge. I am an elderly gentleman who arrived here from hospital in March this year. The first thing you notice is that everywhere
is spotlessly clean. Every room is cleaned from top to bottom every morning and all door handles and surfaces are sanitised. I have an adjustable bed and call button to request help 24 hours a day. It is a happy place with much laughter coming from the staff despite the unpleasant jobs necessary in this kind of establishment. The staff of different nationalities are extremely kind and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The catering is done in house and you always have a choice which is incredible when you consider what is involved. I would highly recommend this as a care home.

There is always someone willing to help if there is a need. Residents are treated with dignity and caring is personal and sensitive to each one. Facilities

My mother was a resident in The Old Lodge Nursing Home from February 2020 until she passed away on March 2nd 2020. During her short stay at the home she was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care shown to my mum but also the other residents. We visited
twice and day and always received a warm welcome from the staff and offered tea or coffee at regular intervals.

We were lucky to find The Old Lodge when my elderly mother came out of hospital in September 2018 needing nursing care. As I live in a different part of the country and cannot visit too often it was important for me to know that she would receive the care and attention she deserves. I need not have
worried as the highly professional team at The Old Lodge have been outstanding, treating my mum with care, compassion, understanding and above all dignity. They are always on hand to answer concerns and keep me updated whenever needed. A special mention for the food on offer which is nutritional and varied and is home-cooked on the premises. Mum is very food fussy but I know she generally enjoys the menu which is not easy to achieve. Senior management, as well as the nursing and administration teams, have been exemplary so without hesitation I would highly recommend The Old Lodge to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for The Old Lodge Nursing 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.929 for The Old Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.929
  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 The Old Lodge Nursing Home is based on 21 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
