I would like to thank all the staff at Archview Lodge for the efforts they have made to get to know my husband in order to understand his needs and wishes and do their best to meet them, since he moved to Archview earlier this year. It was always going to be a life changing and difficult step for him
to take, but I know we made the right choice in Archview Lodge. Seeing the staff hard at work throughout the home brings home to me all the time just how professional and kind each one of them is, whether their role is nursing, caring, catering, activities, gardening, maintenance or management. There is always such a warm, friendly and personalised atmosphere throughout the home, and the surrounding woodlands and bird song always lift my husband's spirits and mine when we go out into the grounds.

My sister has been a resident since December and she has settled in surprisingly well considering how Independant she was prior to a lengthy hosp stay, then onto intermediate care then finally admitted to Archview. She seems happy and content and we as a family are delighted with the care she is receiving.
We are kept informed fully of any changes to my sister's well being, communication is excellent. We just wish she would participate and engage with the activity staff, however on saying that she is a very private person. Many thanks to all the staff for looking after our sister so well.

I'm so pleased with all the staff at Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home, the care my dad gets is above and beyond. Myself and my mum have both been ill for
over a year now and don't get down to visit as often as we'd like to. I'm so grateful for all the support my dad has been given.

Thank you so much to the manager and her team of dedicated staff. It's not easy settling an elderly person for a week of respite and everyone at Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home did an amazing job of looking after my mum. I know she was very well cared for and staff worked hard to reassure and calm
her.
I also know there was a whole team involved with caring for my mum and I'm really grateful but I'd particularly like to mention two nurses, in particular, as they both were so kind and helpful to me too!
It's not always an easy job looking after one elderly person - let alone many and manage relatives too.
Archview is a special place and I'm so glad we have found it.
Wishing all staff a happy Christmas!
Thank you!.

This placement for my sister has been such a positive experience, both for her as the service user and for our family. Staff are wonderful, caring and supportive. The range of activities available is great. Nursing staff are on the ball and we have no worries about the care given. The best care facility
in our area. Would recommend to any family requiring a care facility for a loved one.

My mum has been in the care of Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home since January 2023. The staff in the dementia unit are angels. They are caring, polite and professional and nothing is too much trouble. The quality of care is excellent and the standard of hygiene is extremely high. The food is of a
high quality and is delicious, Mum is always given a choice. The door is always open from the management team and any queries are dealt with immediately. I can not praise this home enough.

Review of my mum went well, covering all aspects of her care. Her diet was covered and updates of how her food intake was going, it was encouraging to hear how she has settled into Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home in the last six months. I am happy with all her care needs, including from a nursing
point of view. It was good to hear she is settling in so well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle has been in Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home since the end of May. He initially went in for a week "to see how I like it when I do need to go in!" At that time his family believed he needed to be in permanently and gradually with the help and support of all the staff he was persuaded to
stay and has now settled into life there. He has gone from spending up to 20 hours a day on his own, sitting in his armchair and eating microwave meals to taking part in the many activities, making new friends and enjoying fresh food once again. Typical of the comments I have received from relatives are "He looks really well", "It's like the old man we know", "Sounds like he is enjoying Archview"..... and to cap it all, we now know he is safe and we can sleep at night not worrying about him. Thanks to all at Archview.

My dad has lived in Archview Lodge Care Home for 21 months now. His experience has been good and he has settled well. The activities provided are excellent and well-advertised. The food is amazing and plenty of choices. Family and friends are always made welcome. Staff are friendly and approachable,
issues are taken seriously and addressed. The care is good and my dad's needs are met. His room is small and in need of decoration. His carpet is old and would be better with flooring. The ensuite needs redecorating too.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.806 for Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.806
  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 Barchester Archview Lodge Care Home is based on 16 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 16 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.

I have over 30 years of nursing experience; I trained and worked in London teaching hospitals before living abroad and then moving back to Scotland to be nearer to family.

I find this area of nursing very rewarding and it’s a privilege to work with the team at Archview.

I successfully joined Archview as a Nurse with the support of the staff. I can truly say that I was mentored well by the Senior Nurse and have developed many skills attributed to high-quality care. I am now proud to be the Deputy Home Manager after a period leading the ground floor unit and I strive to inspire others to become positive leaders who deliver a high standard of care to residents.
