Since the appointment of the new manager in 2022 at Cranswick Lodge, my mum is looked after to a very high standard. It has been transformed into such a nice place for mum to live. The team care about Mum and always do their very best to meet her needs and make her as comfortable as possible. My mum
is very happy here and sees the staff as her family. I very much appreciate that the manager always has time to discuss any concerns about Mum and she fully explains any changes that happen at the home and keeps me very well informed. I would not hesitate in recommending Cranswick Lodge as a home to anyone who needs care.
Reply from Emine Tekis, Home Manager at Cranswick LodgeWe greatly appreciate your wonderful feedback and are thrilled to hear about Mum's positive experience since joining us at Cranswick Lodge. Ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all our residents and their families is of utmost importance to us. Knowing that she's enjoying her stay and is content means the world to us. Your kind words truly mean a lot – thank you!

Took Dad for respite for two weeks with a view to calling Cranswick Lodge his 'forever home'. The manager and deputy manager, along with all their staff, could not do enough on the days my sister and I visited, and the day we then took dad, to the day he went to stay this month. They went out of their
way with all aspects of his care to make him feel welcome and safe in his environment, which he hadn't felt for a long time. After only the first day, he had settled in well and we felt confident all his needs would be met above and beyond. Thank you.
Reply from Paul Millar, Marketing Manager at Cranswick LodgeMany thanks for taking the time to review our home. It was a pleasure to care for your dad. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Cranswick Lodge team.

I visited my mother-in-law on her birthday and was very pleased with how I found her. I ate at Southlands and the food was very good. She seemed to be very well cared for which I was obviously very pleased about. The latest management structure seems to be much better than previously.

Southlands offers a well-managed and extremely caring environment. My lasting impression is that resident welfare is the overriding priority, with residents treated as if they are family members. Due to Mum's condition, I have visited at all times of the day, and the high quality of care is uniform
at all times. Southlands is clean and comfortable with all staff taking pride in their work. I have been very impressed with the amount of one-to-one time devoted to residents. I would highly recommend Southlands.

Throughout Mum's stay at Southlands, we, as a family, have been pleased with Mum's cate. There is little doubt that Covid has had a devasting effect o the care industry as a whole. Southlands often identified difficulties and has pulled through remarkably well. The staff and management currently in
post have been most supportive and have made a great difference in recent months. A big thank you to all.

Mum-in-law came into Southlands a year ago. During the time she has been here, we feel she has been well cared for. The staff are very caring. We would, however, have liked there to have been some activities to stimulate Mum. It is possible she declines this! I understand the activity girl has been
on long-term sick. Very impressed with the food - always looks good and well presented.

Over recent months, considerably more permanent staff have been employed at the home. Long-term staff have worked hard to provide good care, but the increased staffing has had a positive impact. The staff work well as a team, and this creates a warm and caring atmosphere. The residents receive varied
meals which are caringly prepared. Everyone at the home, management, admin, housekeeping, catering, maintenance staff, as well as the carers, are welcoming.

My husband was very well treated by all the staff in Southlands. Everyone was pleasant and polite. They sometimes were short-staffed but still had time for him. The home is rather tied. There is quite often a difficulty getting through on the telephone, which is inconvenient at times. The admin officer
has a difficult job being a receptionist and clerical officer.
Reply from Paul Millar, Marketing Manager at Cranswick LodgeMany thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our absolute pleasure to care for your Husband. Feedback, such as this, helps us to improve and continue to maintain the high standards set by the team. I will, of course, pass on your kind words to the colleagues at Southlands.

I recommend Southlands. I feel my mum is getting the very best care possible. The staff are supportive, caring and professional. I know I can ring them anytime, and they will always have time to talk to me. My mum has a lovely room, and the atmosphere of the care home generally is lovely with clean
and bright social areas. The food is fab, and you are always invited to join in mealtimes. Go with your gut feeling when you look around. Talk to the senior staff. Maybe you thought you'd never be in this situation, but from my point of view, I can sleep at night now knowing my mum is getting looked after so well.

I always find the staff really helpful and approachable across the board from admin through to the manager, information and updates are regularly sent, especially through a difficult period we have had.
I have not had the chance to go into the home or my relative's room due to the current situation,
but I am looking forward to being able to see their room as restrictions are lifted. It’s been difficult for residents and families, but it’s been the right thing to do to protect and shield them.
I would like to be able to sit down and have a more formal review of their care and how they are getting on, and maybe this did happen before Covid and will start again?
Overall, I feel confident they are been well cared for, and the home has done its very best to accommodate visiting in a difficult time for everyone. It hasn’t been an easy time for residents, families and staff.
Reply from Megan Cooper, Home Manager at Cranswick LodgeThank you for your review. I would be more than happy to arrange a review with you and your relative via a virtual meeting if you would be happy with that? I will give you a call this afternoon and discuss this further with you.

During my father's stay at Southlands, we found all of the staff to be friendly, efficient and professional - nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are a good size and well-appointed, being an older building, the rooms feel homely rather than the clinical feel in newer care homes.
The communal areas
of the home are tastefully decorated and furnished, for example, the dining room is furnished like a quality restaurant; it's a lovely place to eat and chat.
The building is in a beautiful location with well-kept grounds, combined with the good atmosphere in the home; it's a great environment for the residents.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.865) out of 10 for Cranswick Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.536 for Cranswick Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.536
  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 4.329 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cranswick Lodge is based on 7 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 = 3.6
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.729
  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.
