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.

Review from R P (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Dad has been in Barrington Lodge for over a year. He settled in very well. The staff are very friendly and caring and always on hand if I need to talk to them. Dad's health is always monitored as he suffers from COPD and Alzheimers. They are aware of changes and if he needs medical attention it is
dealt with promptly. He enjoys his meals too. On the negative side, I found the rooms could be kept cleaner, with more hoovering and wiping of surfaces. The toilet sometimes needs a good clean and in general, the furnishings look a bit tired. In general, I would say I feel happy with my Dad being in there. He is safe and looked after by lovely people.

From the 1st time of visiting this care home, we found the staff very caring, welcoming, helpful and friendly and over the past weeks, we've found them all the same. They treat residents with respect and understanding, helping where they can. Although busy when we call they do still have time for a
quick chat, which is so lovely. Easy parking, bright and airy inside helps make this a lovely care home.

Barrington Lodge cared for my sister during the last weeks of her life. She was treat with compassion, empathy, and the care she received was second to none.

Review from Stella A (Respite Resident) published on 17 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I spent 2 weeks in this home. The nursing/carers were kind and welcoming but they had no time to do their job - "to care". Some were good. Some needed more training in how to speak to people, how to behave and needed help with hygiene. My room was disgusting. The carpet was filthy, with huge black stains.
Ugh!. The bedding was thin and washed out. The chair was uncomfortable and unsuitable for someone with broken limbs. Washing facilities inadequate. Bed rarely made properly. One instance, a carer spill the catheter bag - mopped it up with my towel - not replaced that day and floor not cleaned. A very uncomfortable experience. The food was very poor, unappealing and very bland unless you love mashed potatoes and corned beef and had diarrhoea for 10 days - no treatment. The doctor called but did not come.
On a bright note, the independent team were excellent. I could write a book about it. The medication dispensing erratic and not always recorded.

I was very impressed by the care and attention given to patients by everyone. It was so clean and tidy I have never known my brother so content, as I have been so worried about him.


I myself have always had a dread of going into a care home (not anymore) and I would most certainly choose Barrington

Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.421)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.421) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.421 for Barrington Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (27 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 290 Ratings = 4.421
  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 22 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 22 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.
