Thornton Lodge is a friendly homely environment for my uncle. He is treated with respect and is happy there. The staff are very good and kind with all the residents despite being very difficult at times.

Review from Marc F (Son of Resident) published on 13 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff at the care home have always treated my Mother in a compassionate and dignified manner, and appear to develop authentic supportive and caring relationships with the residents. I have also found management both approachable and easy to talk to, and have felt listened to whenever issues have come
up.


Now that the home have employed an activities coordinator there are more opportunities for stimulation, which is especially important for my Mother, who suffers with dementia. I look forward to this role growing, and welcome increasing variety of activities on offer.


The inner decor is currently under refurbishment, and is already starting to look both brighter and cleaner.

Review from Avril M (Niece of Resident) published on 12 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
In process of getting new carpets and chairs very slow. Often smells of urine. Several staff seem young and inexperienced although appear kind. Residents mostly unstimulated. Cleanliness of residents not as good as it should be. Sometimes no staff in the room and possibility of residents falling. Generally
residents seem well cared for but because of the high prevalence of dementia, there is a depressing air which is inevitable.

Very friendly caring home. My mother has been looked after very well and every need has been taken care of. There is always someone at the end of the p[hone to speak to and they keep us informed of any issues I am very happy with this care home and would not hesitate to recommend the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has lived at Thornton Lodge for over 3 years. The staff are very kind and helpful and I know she will be looked after. They now have an entertainments officer who has organised several events to keep the residents minds active.
The home is in need of a refurbishment, which is currently being
carried out, albeit at a rather slow pace, but apart form that, the care is excellent.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.834) out of 10 for Thornton Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 4.143 for Thornton Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.143
  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 3.691 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thornton Lodge Care Home is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.441
  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.
