Review from L L (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have placed 3 relatives in this care home over the last 8 years. All have been cared for well, the staff are very helpful and friendly and turnover is quite low which is a good thing. Lots of staff have been working the whole 7 years I have been visiting.
The recent redevelopment has only enhanced
things which now means a more up to date environment and furnishings.
I would recommend this home to anyone looking to place a relative.

Absolutely fantastic care home, the staff cannot be faulted. They do a fantastic job with no fuss, panic or anything. There is always someone you can talk to and they listen. If any action is needed it is done. The facilities are fantastic, as are the rooms, everything easily accessed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been delighted with Queens Lodge Nursing Home since my mum arrived. A very welcoming home, the staff are so polite and respectful to the residents. My mum has settled in, which is totally down to the staff. The decor is tired, but is gradually being renovated without disturbing the residents.
The residents are free to roam around and sit wherever they want. I can visit whenever and if I have a question about my mum, the staff can always answer it as they know who she is. They always call her by her name.

They have managed after months of Mum being wheelchair-bound, with no confidence to attempt to stand, actually managed to give her the confidence to stand up, aided. You really don't know as a family, how much you have given back to our wonderful mum. Thank you so much, you really are the best. From
a very grateful daughter and all the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been in Queens Lodge since September 2020 and from the start was made to feel welcome. Her room overlooks the garden and she enjoys mixing with others and relaxing in her room when wanting to have some quiet time. She has just turned 100 and all the staff made a fuss of her and made it a special
time. It gives us peace of mind to know that she is well looked after.

Review from Emily M (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident of Queens Lodge for the last 4 and 1/2 years. I cannot stress enough how happy I am to have chosen this home for my mum. She was cared for by angels and had everything she could ever need. She was an independent lady and was very happy there. The staff did everything they could
to help her stay independent and she really appreciated that, as did her family. The home is always clean and the nurses are so smart and professional. I always felt comfortable going to visit and was made to feel very welcome by everyone. My mum was always doing something or other when I visited, like flower arranging, dancing or playing bingo and that really reassured me that she was being kept stimulated. I can't recommend Queens Lodge highly enough! Thank you to all the staff for looking after mum so well.

A lovely, comfortable residential home. My mum was cared for with the utmost professionalism. The staff are caring and welcoming as are the owners. There was a variety of afternoon entertainment in a warm supportive environment. My mum was cared for in a compassionate manner right to the end of her
life. Many thanks from all the family.

Even from our first meeting and looking around your home I was instantly aware that Queens Lodge was right for dad and my gut feeling could not have been more right. You and your amazing staff went above and beyond our expectations. The care, the comfort, the professionalism, the surroundings, the communication,
the empathy, the attention to small detail, everything you all did was so comforting in our time of distress and dad's final weeks, days, hours and minutes were cared for in a way that soothed us. We can never find the words to express what you did for dad.


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving him love, care and dignity right to the end.

Review from Jessica (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had a serious fall and was admitted to hospital. When they could no longer do anything for her they transferred her to Queens Lodge. Mum herself said, "I have gone from Hell into Heaven". Every single member of staff from top to bottom were absolutely lovely to her. She had a laugh and a joke
with lots of them despite being desperately ill. Everything in their power was done to make my mum happy, comfortable and pain-free, from dog therapy, Easter hats and plants growing on her window ledge to constant checks about her comfort. They never made you feel they hadn't time (and I'm sure they hadn't) to turn her, lift her or comfort her. Also, because I live away and could only get up spasmodically I phoned every day. I was always given a true update which was always caring and kind and I was never made to feel that I shouldn't be phoning. In this world full of tumult and strife what a blessing for my mum to have ended her days in such a lovely place looked after by lovely people.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.296)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.296) out of 10 for Queens Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 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 4.778 for Queens Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.778
  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 3.518 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Queens Lodge Nursing 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.2 = 0.268
  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.
