Dad was only expected to live a week but with the excellent care provided he has been in Colton Lodges Care Home for eight months.
Staff are amazing and really caring. We just love them and owe them a great deal.

My Grandad has just been admitted into the care home a few months ago. What a difference it has made to his well-being. He’s putting on weight, engaging in activities and smiling again. He loves his room overlooking the well kept gardens, watching the wildlife. The Staff are good and look after my Nan
when she visits too. I’m so thankful.

I am very pleased overall with the care of my dad. I can see all of the staff are very caring and considerate and it's always a pleasure to chat to them. I realise my dad can be a bit difficult at times with personal care but I can see that he is dealt with, with dignity. When I phone, nothing is too
much trouble. I look forward to the day I can pop in at any time but I appreciate that rules etc. are being followed properly. Dad always seems clean and in clean clothes.

I cannot fault the care given to Mum at Colton Lodges Care Home. She had an unsettled start when first admitted but staff spent time reassuring her and making her feel like she was at home. She always looks well kept on all our visits. Her room is clean, tidy and has a homely feel. Admin and management
are so caring, always happy to help in every way,
I'm so glad Mum is at Colton Lodges.

My aunty is looked after very well. The care she received is of the highest standard. They make her as one of the family. The food is excellent.
My aunty takes part in most of the activities, if she needs anything then the carers try to help.

Mum tells me she feels cared for, staff in an evening taking time to talk to her, giving her company when needed. Mum is in end of life care and has thrived in the care at the care home.
Cannot pin down to one month as the care is constant.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.413)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.413) out of 10 for Colton Lodges Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.413 for Colton Lodges Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (144 Goods x 4) + (27 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 458 Ratings = 4.413

  • b) 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 Colton Lodges Care Home is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 138 registered maximum number of service users is 27.6, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
