Review from Honor P (Friend of Resident) published on 13 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Woodlands Lodge feels more like an assisted living establishment than a care home. The building is bright and exceptionally clean it offers easy access to dining room, garden etc for residents with compromised mobility. The staff were courteous and kind and I liked the fact that visitors could be taken
to a private comfortable room where we were offered tea and cake. I would recommend theWoodlands Lodge to anyone making the transition from their own home to a more secure and caring place to live.

Review from Alicia M (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very friendly and approachable both management and staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Very accommodating especially at short notice. Service users treated with dignity and all needs met taking into account likes/dislikes. It means a lot to know my father is safe and well cared for while I am away.
This is a high quality all round service.

Review from A W (Resident) published on 25 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally everything fine, prompt support when needed, friendly staff. The food, although I'm sure appreciated by most residents is not really to my taste. Homemade soup very good but I miss REAL bread not cheap sliced. Have made suggestions to the chef but not really acted upon. Same side dishes every
day, very salty crisps and coleslaw. Diabetic puddings or fruit (have been buying my own) would be appreciated. The timing of food difficult, breakfast 8.30-9.00, lunch 12 noon, evening meal 4.30-5. My time's breakfast 9.30, lunch 1.30 and evening meal 7-7.30.

At Woodlands Lodge we welcome all reviews and in previous discussions with the resident I am pleased to comment that the above earlier issues have been resolved.
The resident recently enjoyed a birthday buffet with friends and was very complimentary about this lovely celebration.

From the moment I entered the home I just knew it was correct with all that was written about it. The Manager and every one of her staff all work together and make it a lovely place to relax in and get you on your feet again. Cheerful and happy and a lovely smile on their faces. I don't think you could
get anywhere better, wherever you look. Thanks for the memories (as Bob Hope would say). God bless you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Woodlands Lodge 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.877 for Woodlands Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.877
  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 Woodlands Lodge is based on 28 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 28 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.
