Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mummy is in the dementia unit two years now. They have taken really great care of her and i know she is safe, warm and clean. The staff are always friendly and professional and treat her like their own family. This means a lot to us. I cant thank them enough for what they do for her. She loves the
entertainment and enjoys a good laugh with the staff.

My father was a patient here for end-of-life care. He was treated with the utmost respect and we cannot fault the nursing staff, carers, and manager for their kind and compassionate care. The home has a calm atmosphere, modern furnishings and decor.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident for many years and I cannot fault the care she receives. The staff are caring individuals and nothing is too much trouble for them.
Consequently, my mum is very settled and content in her surroundings which gives me peace of mind.
Recently my mum was taken to hospital
and speaking to the ambulance staff who took her they informed me that it was the best transfer they have had from care home to hospital as all info, script details etc were ready and waiting on them when they arrived at Edgewater.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Edgewater Lodge could not do enough for my father-in-law during his stay. I highly recommend Edgewater Lodge. The company running the home, Electus Healthcare, were professional and met his needs and the staff were caring and worked with us during what is a difficult time for us all.
Well done the Electus team.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is an excellent nursing home with staff who are extremely caring and warm towards patients and families alike.
The standard of care is exceptional. They are at all times very professional - care, compassion, gentleness mixed with kindness and humour.
The actual buildings and rooms are not the
most modern but the level of care is excellent.

Dad has Alzheimer’s and has been in Edgewater for respite care following a stay in hospital. He has settled in well, which makes us more settled too. All the staff are great with him, from the admin, kitchen, laundry etc to the nurses and carers. They keep us well informed as to how Dad is getting on
or if there are ever any problems. Knowing that Dad is happy and well looked after is a great comfort to us.

Both my father-in-law and mother-in-law are residents in Edgewater, they have both settled in very well and have a great relationship with all staff, including kitchen and domestics. They are well cared for and always nicely dressed each day. They enjoy the food and attend all activities in the home.

I'm delighted how quickly my dad has settled into Edgewater Lodge. All his needs are met and he seems very happy here. Staff are always very attentive with him and communicate with me regarding him on a regular basis.

Review from Ronnie A (Son of Resident) published on 28 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The hardest decision in my lifetime was to entrust my mother’s care to complete strangers. She has been a resident at Edgewater for four years now. The home is clean, comfortable and welcoming with a varied meals menu and a range of seating for residents and visitors.
The carers have a genuine desire
to give each resident a quality of care to maintain their dignity and general wellbeing. They will phone a doctor if they think medicines need added, adjusted, or changed. My mother had pneumonia in December 2017 and her GP asked if we wanted her to go to a hospital. I declined because in her own room she would be fed at mealtimes and turned every four hours to avoid bed sores with her pads changed at regular intervals. The Home provided an air pumped mattress through her illness and in general any problems can be discussed at the residents' relatives' meeting or if more immediate action is required a chat with the nurse in charge or the manager can resolve most problems.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.995) out of 10 for Edgewater Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.909 for Edgewater Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.909
  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 3.086 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edgewater Lodge Care Home is based on 1 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.6 = 0.086
  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.
