Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager is very hands on and very approachable as I have found all the staff to be. They have occasional day outings for residents, in-house hair salon, tea and coffee room for residents. A warm and peaceful atmosphere. Overall I am very satisfied with this choice of care home for my mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely welcome was received from all the staff when I visited Earls Lodge. The staff were caring and understanding of my friend's needs and the way she wanted to be cared for and they did it exactly right. She was always treated with dignity, respect and loving care, exactly what was needed at a difficult
time of her life.
Earls Lodge staff are a very conscientious team, led by a very understanding manager who values his staff very highly and as a result, they give their best to care for the residents.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Earls Lodge to anyone who needs nursing care for their loved one.

My relative needed end of life palliative care and Earls Lodge Care Home provided all the care she needed. Before she died my relative sad how happy she was with the home and said it was lovely. That was very reassuring and so good to hear at such a difficult time. The manager was very helpful and supported
us throughout. I am so pleased we chose Earls Lodge.

My dad came into this home in November. Unfortunately, he was only in here for just short of 2 weeks. The care that was provided for him was excellent all the nurses, management and coordinators were very friendly too. I would recommend this home to anyone.

I can't speak highly enough of the staff and the care home. It's a warm and friendly place for my mum and visitors, the staff treat you as one of the family and they are worth their weight and gold. Keep up the amazing hospitality you provide and show.

We were very happy with the care they gave our father. He loved it there and was always happy to go back after a trip out.


During his last months, they cared and looked after him to make sure he was comfortable.

Mum moved to Earls Lodge in October 2007. A life changing holiday accident left her in need of nursing care. My late father and I visited other homes in the Wakefield area. We were warmly greeted at Earls Lodge. Mum has found true care from excellent staff and is happy and content to be a resident.
New management has continued to improve on facilities in the last year.

My mother settled in straight away eight weeks ago. She finds the food and staff very good. She was given baths which were not done whilst in hospital or at a remedial home. The staff and management are always helpful on hand when needed, both for my mother as the user and myself and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident for only a short time during the darkest times of her dementia-suffering, but the dignity, care and attention shown to her by all the staff was quite simply excellent. Living myself over 200 miles away, to know that mum was safe, looked after and provided for by the wonderful staff,
allowed me to feel so very grateful for this support, just when I and mum needed it most. Mum lived at '15 Memory Lane' (such a nice personal touch) in the care home and then retired finally one sunny day in August 2016. I cannot thank or praise the kind folks at Earls Lodge enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very pleased to be able to report a high standard of care at Earls Lodge and especially the commitment of the staff...any request for assistance was always promptly dealt with. Unfortunately, my appetite was virtually none existent during the stay and I am unable to comment on the quality of the
food. Likewise, as my 2-week stay was funded by the local authority, I cannot comment on value for money. Also, I stayed in my room the whole time (my choice) so cannot comment on any activities. Overall I was extremely satisfied.

My father was brought by ambulance from LGI and went into residence only 4 days ago so it is difficult to review after such a short period, having said this I am very happy with the care he has been given to date, all the staff seem very competent and cheerful. At all times dad has settled in well and
likes the home and his room as of now myself and my family are very pleased for my dad to be here.

My husband came here after a stroke he had in June 2015. He has been well cared for. He has had to be admitted to hospital on three occasions since he came with urine infections and pneumonia. Each time his condition was spotted early and hospital contacted immediately and I was also contacted straight
away enabling me to get to the home in time to go with him to the hospital. Over recent months changes and improvements have been made to the running of the home and staffing members- all for the good.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.777 for Earls Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 435 Ratings = 4.777
  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 37 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 37 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.
