Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been well looked after by all the staff. She enjoys the days out and the activities within the home. The home is always clean and tidy and the staff are excellent. At the minute it's being redecorated. They are doing a good job looking after my mum and her friends. My mum's room it's a
nice size with a wardrobe and drawers. She has her own toilet which is always clean. They have a TV room and the freedom to walk around all day long and all night, without the worry of anyone getting out. I would recommend this home just because the staff are one in a million. They work so hard but love the job so much the loving care they give to everyone. It's just like one big family and they have time to stop and talk to the families if they need any help, as well they had a very good team from the carers, from the chef from the handyman and management as well. They are always so happy and helpful.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum was only in Waverley Lodge for a couple of months. the care she received was fantastic. all her needs were catered to the staff went above and beyond from the Manager, Admin staff, Carers and the handyman. All showed an interest in Mum's needs and we were welcomed on every visit and informed of
Mum's changing needs. Waverley Lodge may not be the poshest home to look at but the care Mum received was fantastic. Mum died comfortably and with dignity. Thank you to all the staff.

Review from Gary T (Son of Resident) published on 6 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father arrived at the care home in April this year suffering from Dementia, he had previously been in sheltered housing but the Dementia had progressed to the stage that he needed full-time care.
He arrived worried and confused as you would expect, but very quickly the staff made home feel at home
Within
a week or two, he was loving it there and had begun to make some friends and had actually put on weight, he loved the meals.
The staff are excellent and always attentive.

Review from Jeanette (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 1 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister-in-law is on the main corridor down to the lounge so it tends to be a bit noisy and busy. The staff have been brilliant. Any concerns have been addressed quickly and although no one wants to be in a home the move has been efficient and my sister-in-law, after a time of low mood is more settled
and relaxed.

My dad has been in 3 homes before Waverley and he has settled really well. He knew most of the staff because his mam was in for 8 years, and it deals with all his needs.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.371)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.371) out of 10 for Waverley Lodge Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.371 for Waverley Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.371
  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 Waverley Lodge Care Home is based on 10 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 10 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.
