The Review Score of 9.3 (maximum of 10) for The Lodge Care Home (Killamarsh) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 18 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for The Lodge Care Home (Killamarsh) in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.519 for The Lodge Care Home (Killamarsh) is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.519
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Lodge Care Home (Killamarsh) is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.750
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
The Lodge Care Home (Killamarsh) has a Review Score of 9.3 (9.269) from 18 Reviews

My aunt has been in the care home for 12 weeks. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful which enabled my aunt to settle in straight away. She suffered a three-week spell when she was confused due to the effects of an infection and they gave excellent care and security to help her through this period. She is now back to her usual self and enjoying being there again. I can feel settled now knowing she is well cared for and most of all safe. I personally have found the management and staff very helpful to me. If I have had any issues I have wanted sorting, nothing seems to be too much trouble.

Mum has been here for 14 months now and it has been the contributing factor to her 99th year last month. The staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble and there is always laughter in the place. Be it, staff, residents or both which lightens the situation. Always a pleasure to visit and I know mum is looked after.

We are always made to feel welcome when we visit. My only issue is with the commode being left in Mum's room she cannot get to it herself, so there is no point it being there all the time. It could be brought in when she needs it. She often feels unwell, so has her meals in her room. I would not like to eat in the same room as my toilet. Otherwise I am very happy with all the care.
