The care home is really handy for me and the staff are excellent. The staff are always attentive and on hand for help or questions, rooms are spacey and comfortable and I’m impressed with the cleanliness of the home in general.

My father was moved into Abbey Lodge in November 2020, mid-pandemic. Whilst I appreciate the pandemic causing issues, this cannot be blamed for the failings in my father's care. Put quite simply, if you want the reassurance your loved one is being properly looked after and cherished in your absence,
look elsewhere!

Although Abbey Lodge is having major building/refurbishment, they are still trying to maintain standards.
My mum has been decanted from her original bedroom but is looking forward to returning to this once refurbishment is complete.
My mum finds the staff very attentive and enjoys the many activities
provided.
Mum also enjoys the food provided, she finds the menu varied and to a very high standard.

My wife is reasonably well looked after and staff are helpful. My wife is quite settled so I would be quite happy for her to remain here. The lift could be swept daily.

Recently refurbished internally so very pleasant living conditions and public areas.
What makes this care home is the staff, kind, caring, helpful, cheerful. Nothing else to say.

Review from Peter S (Son of Resident) published on 13 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Living in Canada it's challenging to have an ageing parent at home, Abbey Lodge staff provide the services and care my father needs and gives us peace of mind. The staff are responsive helpful and willing to communicate by email which is invaluable to us. As our needs change so does the care provided.
As my fathers personality changes with age, the staff show understanding and compassion.


Any issues or concerns that have been raised are quickly addressed by management. When my father moved into Abbey Lodge the facilities needed to be upgraded and this work is being done. The last place I want to be is in a retirement home and I know there are newer, more modern facilities available, but if you are in need of good care, compassion and in a friendly environment look no further than Abbey Lodge.

Reply from Charlie Allan, Home Manager at Abbey Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much, Peter, the staff will be delighted to hear your positive comments about the care provided to your father.

My Mum is very settled in Abbey Lodge and there always seems to be plenty of staff around. The staff are very attentive to the residents and always stop to ask how things are when we visit. The recent fete seemed to be enjoyed by all. The lounge is currently being updated and the kitchen area in the
dining room has been updated recently.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My experience of Abbey Lodge is mostly positive. My mother, almost 102, has been resident for 2 years.
In that time her dementia has developed/changed I feel she has been cared for as well as could be hoped for under the sometimes trying behaviour associated with the disease and her great age.
The
staff are always cheerful and helpful in my experience. I find the telephone system quite frustrating at times!

The staff at my dad's care home are fantastic.
They look after my dad with extreme care and kindness. This is from management all the way to the maintenance and kitchen staff.
They always have a smile on their faces and are very approachable and helpful if any of the family have any concerns.
A wonderful
bunch of people.

All staff are very caring and attentive to the needs of residents. Residents are treated appropriately according to needs. The home is always clean and tidy. The home is well managed and management encourage relatives to make any suggestions for potential improvements to the already high standard of
care provided.

Review from Elizabeth D (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited the Care Home prior to my father's admittance and I must say I was extremely impressed by all staff that I encountered. They seemed to know each patient by their name even when passing the patients on the corridor they always stopped to say hello to them. The Care Home Manager runs this
care home excellently and the staff were so helpful and kind. I witnessed the care and attention given to patients which greatly impressed me. On my last visit, my father left his room with me and a tradesman who was in painting said to my dad "Hello George how are you doing" - just these little extras help the patients enormously. So thank you to the manager and all the staff who look after my dad - each and every one of you are doing a fantastic job - so thank you most sincerely and I know you will always keep up the good work as the patients are very important to you - which was witnessed by my family and I each time we visit.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.610)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.610) out of 10 for Abbey Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 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 18 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 4.610 for Abbey Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.61
  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 Abbey Lodge Care Home is based on 18 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 18 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.
