Review from Philip W (Husband of Resident) published on 23 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife did not want to end her life in a care home, but her health had deteriorated to such an extent that she needed full time nursing care, which was simply not possible at home. She was in the home for just over a month and she received, at all times, the best care possible. I told the staff that
I would score them 11 out of 10 because they went far beyond the necessary. They showed her great care and love. She had become very frightened of being washed, or turned, but the care she received makes me weep even now. It was amazing and I am so grateful. I would still have liked her to die at home, but this was every bit as good, and nothing seemed to ever be too much. So I am really grateful and I am already recommending the home to others!

Review from Julie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was recently moved to Forresters after being evicted from another Bridlington care home, due to them not being able to look after her because she has late-stage dementia. We wish we'd put her in Forresters from the beginning of her residential care. Forresters are now giving her medication properly
and the correct medication, which as now is the case we are seeing a great improvement in the way mum is. She seems a lot calmer and happier in our eyes. She is getting fed very well and is eating plates of food rather than small bowls in the previous home. The carers, nurses and cleaners are doing a great job. We know our mum won't get any better, but now know she is getting the correct care that she needs and deserves. As a family, we now don't feel stressed anymore and can relax knowing she is in safe hands. Thanks to everyone

My sister is very happy at Foresters Lodge. She was living on her own for many years after her husband and son passed away. She looks very well and is eating much better and has put on a little weight as she had stopped eating at home. The staff are very friendly and she likes to chat to everyone. They
are always pleasant when I go and are very helpful.

We do not pay full price as the local authority pays towards it as Mum is on end of life. Her room is very shabby and has not been touched for 5 years. A new door was installed but the frame has not been painted. The carers are excellent and we are satisfied with all they do for her. The activities
lady does a great job.

My experience here has been totally positive. The care my mum received especially recently through her decline in health has been amazing.

Most of the month has been spent in lockdown. As always, lack of communication is not good. Emails are sent out a few days after staff already knows the latest opening date. It would be an idea to sent out a weekly update regardless.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.387)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.387) out of 10 for Foresters Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.445 for Foresters Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.445
  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 4.942 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foresters Lodge is based on 13 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.942
  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.
