My 91 year old Mum has mild Alzheimer's and had 1 week respite care at Abbey Wood Lodge from 23 June . On returning home she was included in some of the activities and trips out. On Sunday 17 July Mum decided she wanted to return to 'Happywood' on a permanent basis. After discussion with her 5 daughters,
spread across the globe, New Zealand, Switzerland, south of England and 2 local daughters it was agreed that this would be a good and safe option for Mum. Unfortunately after the first week Mums mood changed, luckily because of the quick response by the staff an early UTI was diagnosed and antibiotics prescribed. As a family, though Mum's decision, a very difficult time, but Abbey Wood have been fantastic both with Mum and her 5 fussing daughters. Thank you so much for helping Mum keep her independence in a safe environment. Regular posting on Facebook of their fun times are a great help, especially to family who can't just pop in.

Abbey Wood Lodge care home is a typical caring home of the future the attitude of all the carers speaks volumes to their credit.
All resident have a full and active life which applies to residents that need extra care, they are first and foremost.
When my time comes this is where I want to be, what
more can I say.
The home welcomes people from other communities in order to include them in everything. Abbey Wood Lodge puts forward and activates which successfully is achieved by all members of management and staff.

My mum has only just gone into care and much to my surprise has settled in well. At first she refused to come out of her room but with great patience from the staff she is now joining in a lot more and her personal hygiene has improved with encouragement from her care givers. I am very impressed with
all the staff and the home.

At Abbey Wood Lodge there is a really good atmosphere, as soon as you walk in the door. All the staff are helpful and informed. The residents are very well looked after and entertained with regular trips out with lots of mental input. I feel my mum is safe, well looked after and happy.

My mum has just stayed at Abbey Wood Lodge for her third visit since my dad died last year on respite weeks for me. I was very impressed with the way the staff are with the residents. My mum really enjoyed her stay there and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is looked after and she is happy.
Mum will be 90 years old in February but does not look it and is quite healthy for her age.
My mum is due for another week in September and is quite looking forward to it.

My close friend died here of a brain tumour and she had been here for over 12 months. Sadly my connection continues as my badminton partner of earlier days is here. I find conditions always bright and cheerful, staff extremely attentive and caring and lots of various activities. There are numerous outings
for meals or interests and I have witnessed things like Sinatra tributes where as many as possible gets up to dance. There has been a trip for afternoon tea and a ladies day breakfast. The only weakness as far as I can see is a very small garden- new outside facilities would be good.

The premises are new, clean and well laid out.
The carers provide a good standard of care.
The residents benefit greatly from the stimulation they receive from the in house entertainment and external visits.

My husband spent his first ever period of residential respite care (2 weeks) at Abbey Wood Lodge. He was admitted during a period of extremely agitated and difficult behaviour at home. He settled into care very quickly and seemingly easily and developed very positive relationships with the care staff.
Presumably as a result of this he seemed to be much calmer in himself each time. I visited and reports back from friends and family who visited echoed this. All in all, as positive an experience as I would possibly have hoped for.

My dad has just spent a week at Abbeywood Lodge (2nd visit). Could not fault the care given during his stay. Love the fact that the wonderful team do so much with the residents whether it's celebrating a birthday or going out for lunch. My dad seemed very happy and content to the point that he did not
want to go home. Would highly recommend Abbeywood Lodge - second to none. Well done to all the team.

My relatives, a husband and wife both 94, have been in residence at Abbey Wood Lodge for almost 12 months now. The care and attention they have received has been superb and in my opinion could not have been better. My cousin unfortunately became quite ill and after the hospital discharged her back to
Abbey Wood Lodge she was treated with great care and compassion until she passed away. The care received could not have been bettered. Since her passing her husband has been given excellent after care, he has been taken out to various venues and really pampered. This has been greatly appreciated by the resident and more so by his relatives. This has been a very caring home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.664)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.664) out of 10 for Abbey Wood Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.664 for Abbey Wood Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (361 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 446 Ratings = 4.664

  • b) 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 Wood Lodge is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
