It took some time for mum to settle in but the staff were very patient and have managed to get mum settled and joining in with any activities they have. She's well looked after. On occasion, I have stayed for lunch and the meals have always been good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After looking at many care homes this one excelled. I am very happy with the care my dad receives here and it's like a hotel in my opinion. The food is all homemade and nourishing and cake time is delicious. The staff are all lovely and nothing is too much trouble. There is lots going on with activities
should my dad want to do it. Should maintain 5*

Everyone I have dealt with has been very warm and welcoming, taking the time to explain systems and processes in a clear and concise manner. I have seen genuine care, kindness and support given to residents in a thoughtful way. There is a feeling of belonging within the calm, ordered environment, whereby
everyone matters, however long they stay. I feel able to raise any issue or concern and know that it will be dealt with in a supportive and timely fashion. Thank you.

My mum is very ill. She can no longer feed herself, get out of bed or even turnover.
She has gotten very thin and gets distressed.
The care home gives her excellent care. The nursing team is excellent. The food is marvellous and there are lots of activities. A lot of thought goes into the resident's
well-being. I am very grateful for this place. Wouldn't want her anywhere else.

Our father's care in the past 6 months has been first class. The care staff, nursing staff, catering staff and domestics, all display a pleasant attitude at all times.
The staff's attention to those in their care is a great comfort to our father and to us both.
The managements recognition of the value
of the staff resource is a major factor in the success of the overall business.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.603)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.603) out of 10 for Sycamore Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.914 for Sycamore Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.914
  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 4.689 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sycamore Lodge Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.889
  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.
