Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother has been a resident at Barnes Lodge for over a year now and I feel that her wellbeing has improved significantly over this time. This is in no doubt, down to the excellent care and attention that she receives from the staff/carers.

Review from Duncan A (Son of Resident) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had a brief respite stay in Barnes Lodge to attend a series of family functions in the region. From first arrival staff were accommodating and welcoming - her daily requirements were met in a kind and considerate manner which accommodated the somewhat varied itinerary my Mother had during
her visit.

Staff are very considerate and pay attention to residents requirements. English is well spoken, essential if a resident is hard of hearing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During our mother's stay, we were delighted with her care in every area. We did not want our mother to move care homes, as she was very happy 'in her bubble'. Unfortunately, she was moved due to circumstances beyond our control.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.016)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.016) out of 10 for Barnes Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.521 for Barnes Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.521
  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 4.495 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barnes Lodge is based on 10 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 101 registered maximum number of service users is 20.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.495
  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.
