We came to visit out friend on the curry night and we had a lovely time. Everyone was really friendly and the food was fantastic. We were very impressed with how nice the activity room was and everywhere was so clean! We were shown our friend's room and it was homely and comfy looking. All in all, we
had a great time.

Attended the curry night with my family to see a resident. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. Providing a great service with drinks and food and encouraged us to be social with the other residents. Facilities were great and everyone had a smile on them.

What fun! There are so many smiles on staff and resident's faces. It is so good to see my mum so happy and looked after. It is reassuring to know that her emotional needs are met as well as her physical. Great place!

Having only visited twice, I must say my experience of Figbury Lodge is excellent and I am assured that my friend will have an enjoyable stay.
The staff have impressed me with confidence in saying that my friend will be well cared for.

I love coming to Figbury, a very warm and pleasant atmosphere. Carers and staff are always very welcoming. They can't do enough for the residents.
My mother-in-law is very happy at Figbury. I couldn't ask for a better home for her to be in. She really enjoys all of the activities. I've worked in a
lot of care homes and I think this is definitely one of the best.

The care my nan receives at Figbury is above and beyond. The staff are so kind, caring and so loving, bringing a smile to her face. The activities team are phenomenal, providing such varied and creative ideas which keep the resident's minds active and socialising all the residents. The personalised
and personable care my nan receives, and all the support and love. I know my nan is in the best place, with the most caring staff, getting the best possible care. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This home is always warm and friendly - the staff are constantly caring and invested in us but particularly the people they care for, always using their first names and paying attention to them first. All my family and friends who have come at very pleased with the care that my husband receives and
always say how lovely it is - clean and bright. The wide corridors are a big bonus as well as the bedrooms looking onto a very pleasant garden. We can come at any hour to see our families. The entertainment is varied and fun - anyone can join in. I feel happy that he is so well cared for and his brother and wife are happy too.

Very pleased with all the care Mum has had since she has been in Figbury. The staff are so very kind and nothing is too much trouble.
Absolutely recommend this care home, the manager gave total reassurance when we first came in as was really sceptical about Mum going into care but really should not
have worried.
Other relatives are very friendly and lovely too.

Review from Maureen L (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been at Figbury Lodge now for almost four years. During these years, she has been wonderfully taken care of, but the experience of the last month or so has been incredible. Mum, aged 99, fell in her room, and the paramedics were called, and she was taken to the hospital. To cut a long story
short, she had a hip replacement, eventually returning home to Figbury after just over a week. The care given to us while she was in hospital by the manager of Figbury was exceptional in every way and one of the team leaders even visited the hospital as I had expressed concerns about her care. Now, she is totally reliant on the care of the fantastic team, and I couldn't be happier that she is cared for so well. Figbury Lodge is a wonderful caring home and even cares for the families. Thank you so much for all you do.

Whilst Dad was only in Figbury Lodge for a few weeks of rehab, he was made to feel at home from the moment we arrived.
When we left, so many staff came out to wish him well; he was very well cared for and looked after.
All staff were also attentive to our needs as a family and always answered any
questions.

Fantastic care facility, my grandmother has lived here for two years and the level of care she receives is amazing. After losing her husband, who also lived here late last year, her emotional needs are clearly being met. We are so grateful to all the staff.

My darling wife became a resident a year ago. The change has been remarkable for a frail timid person with little conversation to a vibrant confident lady.
In june we celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary and this fantastic home and staff helped us celebrate with family friends and residents with
entertainment, a special cake and sparkling wine. Thank you to everyone.

Figbury Lodge care home has a lovely, kind and caring staff who have time for their clients. Dad's room is always exceptionally clean and is ensuite which is a real bonus. Food mostly has been very good and plenty of variety. The care staff are available to discuss any issues and are always willing
to help. I highly recommend this care home along with the daily activities.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Figbury 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.853 for Figbury Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (404 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 463 Ratings = 4.853
  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 Figbury Lodge is based on 39 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 39 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.
