Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has now been a Permanent Resident at Earls Lodge for just over a year.
I find the Staff very friendly, attentive and very caring. They treat the Residents with respect and kindness. Nothing is too much trouble.
My Dad is very safe, he's well fed, and very well looked after which is a comfort
to both myself and my sister.
From a family members point of view, I take the lead when it comes to Dad and his care needs. I feel very well informed about all aspects of his care, and I'm kept updated with any issues that might arise on a day to day basis.
I wouldn't want my Dad to be anywhere else.
These people are genuinely very caring and show lots of love and affection. Not just the Carers, but the Managers, House Keeping, Kitchen Staff and the lovely Administrator. What a lovely team at Earls Lodge.
Reply from Chloe Yates, Home Manager at Earls Lodge Care HomeThank you for your lovely words on your review :) We are very happy that you feel safe and comfortable with our care, The team will be happy to see your review :) x

Mum is happy with all aspects of the home, from cleaning staff to management, all are friendly and attentive, and nothing is too much trouble.
As a family, we can come and visit mum and enjoy family time, and when we leave, we know she is in a safe, friendly, caring environment.

Mum has been in Earls lodge since the beginning of the year. She went in as she was falling and quite unwell. She was 6 stones when she arrived she now weighs over 7.5 stone. The staff are incredible and she enjoys baths, pamper sessions, sing-a-longs, bingo the list is endless. I cannot fault her care
at Earls Lodge and she is the happiest I have seen her in a long time. She won't stop talking about the recent trip to Bridlington!!! I cannot thank the staff enough, and I can now relax knowing she is in excellent hands.
Reply from Chloe Yates, Home Manager at Earls Lodge Care HomeThank you for sharing your experience and giving such a lovely testimony to the care your mum is receiving, thank you for choosing us to care for your loved one.

I came to Earls Lodge for respite care and in the time I was there I felt very lucky to be looked after by all of the lovely staff. The care I received is like nothing I'd ever have imagined. The staff took care of all my needs and even curled my hair. I arrived at the home looking unkept and I am leaving
looking and feeling like Marilyn Monroe. I would recommend this home always to people. I'd take the staff home if I could.

From mum being admitted into Earls Lodge the staff and carers have been so loving and caring towards her. She has formed close bonds with the carers who came to feed, bathe and just be with her. On mum leaving Earls Lodge Care Home to go home the carers and staff were queuing up to give her a squeeze
- mum has thoroughly enjoyed her time here, she was so grateful for everyone showing her love. Thank you so much from all her family.

Review from Carol B (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough about Earls Lodge. Due to both my parents becoming ill for different reasons, they both resided at Earls Lodge and the staff showed them care and dignity throughout. Mum passed away from dementia after a short illness and I was fortunate that she was able to return to Earls
Lodge for her final days where I knew she was safe and loved. Dad remained in the home and despite being blind and only feeling comfortable in his room, the staff still would regularly check in on him for a chat and always considered his mental health. Dad passed away on 2 February and again I was blessed enough that the home fought with me and palliative care to return him to the home for his final hours. The staff made such a sad time in our lives into something happy and precious and I'll miss them all so much. For anyone considering Earls Lodge, I cannot recommend this wonderful home enough, because it truly became a beautiful safe home to us all.

My mum really needed some company as she was living alone with early stages of dementia. She isn't the easiest of people to care for as she gets very confused and this affects her mood. The staff here are so good with her helping her to keep busy with a wide range of activities and helping keep things
as normal as possible (hair and nails done regularly).

My Grandma has been resident at Earls Lodge for nearly 12 months and we couldn't have asked for better care for her. I was unsure if she'd settle in but she's in the best room for having a nosey and been able to see people walking around. She's not the most sociable but she's finally coming round a
bit and getting more involved, that's credit to the staff! Not pushy to get her into the day room (that's not her) but gentle encouragement to partake in things such as baking, which she loved to do at home, has brought her out of her shell a bit. I imagine she's a bit of a bossy boots when we're not around! All the staff are attentive and nothing is too much. She has a great relationship with them and she tells me they regularly pop in for a chat. As a family member, it's nice to be able to have a conversation with staff members when we visit. She is showered regularly and has recently taken to having a bath which she loves but couldn't manage before. Thank you to all the staff at Earls.

Overall experience has been excellent. So much so, that we have requested that my father stay permanently. The home manager came out to meet us before entering. From that very day to today both myself, family members and especially my father feel 100% happy with the care he is receiving at earls lodge.
All staff are kind caring attentive and well experienced. They meet his every need. Nothing is to much trouble

Having my sister spending respite for a month in Earls Lodge has encouraged us (as a family) to continue with permanent residency.
The staff are very attentive and caring.
The manager and her assistant are very professional and are approachable in answering any questions, queries or giving advice.
Despite
the age of the home, there is an increasing modernisation and modern approach to caring.
It is an ideal size for it to be very homely. I am impressed with the management team who I met.

Mum has been a respite resident for over a month now. The care she has received has been amazing. The happy, caring staff are always on hand to help and keep mum "going" as she puts it.
After problems with a previous care home, I was worried but I needn't have been at all. I wish she could stay here
long term, I know she's safe and looked after.

I cannot thank the staff enough at Earls Lodge. The care they provide is more than exceptional and they cannot do enough. The management are always there to speak to regardless of how busy they are they make time to speak to you when you first arrive and when leaving they always ask if everything is
ok with the visits. Anything I have ever said has been addressed there and then. Thank you so much to management and the whole team.

Since last October my mum has been a resident here. She has gained weight since coming here. All the staff go above and beyond to help my mum. Alarms are dealt with very swiftly. Loves all the activities from the singers to coffee mornings to nails done. The rooms are very tidy. Mum loves the cat therapy.
The management are extremely helpful and all the staff are stars. Everyone of the service users and staff and residents family's are all like one big extended family. I wouldn't want my mum anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.691)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.691) out of 10 for Earls Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.691 for Earls Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 343 Ratings = 4.691
  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 Earls Lodge Care Home is based on 29 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
