Review from M B (Wife of Resident) published on 6 April 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband took up residence in Hamewith on 27/1/20. We were advised by the hospital that he required care 24/7 and would not be able to return home. He would not eat in hospital, losing over 3 stone in 2 months. He had delirium caused by an infection and was confused and very weak. The care he received
at Hamewith was outstanding. They had him eating again and walking within days. After 6 weeks of amazing care he was assessed fit to com home. Can't thank them enough. Outstanding care.

I would just say that we have nothing but positive feelings about Hamewith. My sister is very happy here the staff have a great relationship with her and us, they are friendly and caring. This includes all staff, from the dorm staff to the manager. I come in at random times, and always find my sister
safe, clean, the buzzer to hand and happy. The house is always clean but also feels homely. The staff always make time if I have anything to ask, this includes the manager. A great family feeling and the staff go above and beyond to care.

I was so lucky to find this care home for my mother. After looking after her at home for seven years it was frightening for us both to move on. Every member of staff here is kind and caring. I know she is in safe hands and can relax knowing she is getting the best possible care. Her room is lovely,
as are the communal areas. I really can't recommend the place enough - nothing is too much trouble.

I am so very happy that my wee pal is so well looked after at a time in her life where she is unable to care for herself.
I find her happy, healthy and well cared for generally.
The staff are so competent, friendly and helpful.
Thank you to all who make Hamewith so good.

Residents are treated with respect. They aren't forced to do activities they aren't interested in. Meals are good. Good standard of hygiene. Safety always considered.

Overall, the staff do a great job. The food is good and my mum is happy. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.


Laundry is a difficult task due to the volume of items needing to be done daily. Sometimes it seems clothes are washed on a hot cycle as jerseys get out of shape easily. This is

a minor thing.


I am seldom in the home during the week due to work so cannot comment on activities for the residents.

Review from Jamie (Resident) published on 7 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I had to go to my care manager and the care commission in order to get my basic care needs met. Due to going through these procedures to get the care I pay for, certain staff nurses seem to see me as a troublemaker they need to sort out. The carers, in contrast, have been lovely - working very hard
with often very low numbers of staff.

My mum came to Hamewith Lodge Care Home only in mid-August 2016. Sadly she passed away on the 17th September 2016 after a long battle with cancer. But I just wanted to say the care my mum received was amazing. I was so scared about her going into a nursing home but the staff were so lovely and friendly.
Had a very relaxed and homely feel and they made my mums last month as comfortable as possible. Want to say a huge thank you to all staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.660)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.660) out of 10 for Hamewith Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.660 for Hamewith Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.66
  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 Hamewith Lodge Care Home is based on 13 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 13 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.
