Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very pleased with all staff and service given at Foresters Lodge and all the time they give looking after my wife. Would not think of having my wife anywhere else as I don't think she could get better care than she gets now. Very happy with the care home my wife is in now. I don't think there could
be one better.

The care home my mum is in is wonderful. The staff, carers and nurses go above and beyond. They are lovely. Mum is still settling in but is given a lot of help. She has been living here since 20.12.19. I have no complaints.

Whenever my family and I visit Mum we are always made to feel welcome. All the staff are very friendly and approachable. Mum settled into Foresters Lodge very well and she is treated with dignity and respect. Her care from the staff is excellent, we know that our very special mum is always in very safe
hands.

Review from Yvonne G (Wife of Resident) published on 27 July 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has been a resident at Foresters Lodge for three years. The standard of care has consistently improved, ensuring that all residents are treated with dignity and given personalised care, to the highest standard. The staff are well trained and show true dedication, the cleanliness throughout
the whole home is excellent, the food is freshly cooked and served attractively, daily activities are provided to stimulate the wellbeing of all residents. Most importantly, the management are always available to discuss individual care plans for your relative and issues raised are always dealt with appropriately. It has also to be said that early intervention and carefully implemented safety measures prior to Covid-19 lockdown at Foresters Lodge ensured that the home has been virus-free and this extra care provided an environment of safety for residents and staff.

My wife has been in care at Foresters Lodge for four and a half years. All the time she has had the best of care from everybody at the home. My wife has her mad moments and we all get it in the neck, but we also have good moments. The care she gets is the best.

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.
