My father seemed happy, relaxed and engaged in the activities with the coordinators. Staff were so welcoming and happy to show photos taken of activities. He appeared well presented, with hair well groomed and quite cohesive today. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The kindness and attention given to my husband when he was resting in the Lodge for 3 weeks were excellent and very caring. Also when he passed away on 15/01/23 the courtesy and patience shown were second to none, not only to my husband but me and my nephew. The home was very clean and welcoming when
we entered at all times, the biggest praise I should give was to all the staff, and incredible people, thank you. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Having stayed here on some respite care, the staff are exceptional and very polite. Nothing is a bother, and they go out of their way to accommodate. The room is spacious, very comfortable and warm. The food is great and all home-cooked.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father-in-law has just spent 3 nights in emergency respite. We are so grateful for the respect and dignity he was treated with by the staff. They were so helpful and professional from admittance through to discharge.
Finding somewhere for a loved one who needs help is incredibly difficult, so I
sincerely hope this review not only shows our appreciation of the care he was given but also helps give others the confidence to use this facility.
Thank you again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father went into Barrington Lodge Care Home last year as he was wandering, neglecting himself and not washing. Now he is like a different man; he's always spotlessly clean; he said it's a fabulous hotel, the food is amazing, and he loves it. The staff are all amazing; he really gets on with two members
of staff. I couldn't ask for a better team to look after him; the relief I feel knowing he is safe, and most of all, happy is priceless.

My friend has been staying here for the last 7 months and during the coronavirus pandemic the staff have been very accommodating in assisting with FaceTime calls with him. He has settled very well and says they treat him like a king and is continually praising the staff for their hard work.

I think that the staff have been very good during the Coronavirus.
We have been able to call and FaceTime our relative whenever we have needed to.
The Facebook page also keeps us updated too.
We can see our relative is very happy and that makes us very happy. We just wish we could see him in person
and give him a hug.
Hopefully not much longer to wait.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.444)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.444) out of 10 for Barrington 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.444 for Barrington Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.444
  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 Barrington Lodge Care Home is based on 17 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 17 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.
