My brother was recently placed at Figbury Lodge Care Home for an interim period to being housed in assisted living. He is very happy there and his room is lovely and meets his needs. Staff are friendly, lovely and care for him very well. They are diverse to adapting to his needs and mobility. Physios
give a good service, as well as the nurses and carers. The building is bright and very clean.

A wonderful place for my father to have end-of-life care. Friendly staff from reception to care staff, cleaners or kitchen staff. Everyone was so kind and very helpful to my father and also to me, and for this, I will be forever grateful to thank you. Sorry, it's taken so long to finally send this but
I will never forget the help you have my father and me. Being an unpaid carer is the hardest thing I have ever done - it almost broke me.
Reply from Ellen Blaver, Home Manager at Figbury Lodge

Thank you for your lovely comments, we appreciate you taking the time to write this review. We are really pleased to hear that you felt your father was well looked after. Our condolences to you and your family.

My mum transferred to Figbury Lodge from another care home in June 2022. On her arrival, the staff were very helpful, kind and considerate to her. Since then they have looked after her very well. It took my mum a very long time to get used to the different staff, but now she seems settled. All staff
on her unit work extremely hard and seem to work well as a team.

Review from Stephen B (Son of Resident) published on 17 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is 91, has severe Alzheimer’s and from many years of anorexic behaviour and is a frail, old lady. Her condition had deteriorated to such an extent that my wife and I could no longer safely care for her. Nobody ever wants to have a parent moved into care, so it was with a heavy heart when she
moved into Figbury Lodge.


We should not have worried. In fact, we should have been delighted, as my mother now has constant care and companionship. Despite not eating for us, for her nurse, or for the dietitians in Poole Hospital, thanks to the wonderful Carers in Figbury Lodge she has gained weight. It would be nice to refer to the staff as being like family, but by their constant care of my mother, they are indeed better than family. We could not have done for my mother what the wonderful staff have done. My wife and I visit frequently, and all the staff are so friendly. My mother is not just a number. She is known by name. They take the time to update us.


Amazing care at Figbury Lodge.

My mother has been living at Figbury Lodge for two months. Due to Covid, cannot be moved and awaiting a vacancy in a home nearer to the family. Mum is happy at Figbury. The staff are caring, lovely and have a sense of humour like my mum. Very clean, however very black (no pictures or shelves in the
rooms. No complaints. The staff are friendly and helpful when I ring in. Working with masks all day, so difficult, they are so kind.

As I was in Figbury Lodge during the lockdown, there weren't any activities. I did not pay for my stay so cannot comment on value for money. I was well looked after and am very grateful. The Occupational Therapists were excellent.

On behalf of my Mother who resided at Figbury Lodge she and I had no complaints about the excellent care she received. I was able to telephone regularly and unless at a time care was being given, I could always have a chat with mum on the phone. Very friendly and helpful staff who made you feel at home
when I visited. I am extremely grateful to the care Figbury Lodge staff gave to mum, thank you all.

Review from Katy H (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into the care home last year due to a deterioration meaning she needed more round the clock care.
Ever since she has moved in the staff of Figbury Lodge have bent over backwards to provide support for her. She is cared for with a lovely personal touch that I see each time we have a
video call with her.
Figbury Lodge have been great at helping us to connect in a meaningful way with my mum during the pandemic offering us video calls each week. As there are four daughters it means we can all talk to her and see her on the call which we appreciate so very much.
The distance and lack of in person contact has been hard but Figbury Lodge and their staff's caring attention has made this period a little easier! I look forward to being able to thank all the staff in person one day!

My father was admitted following a fall at home. He appreciated the support in regarding his independence and valued how the staff treated him (with respect). For my part, I was in regular contact with the home, and they made every effort to keep me informed, despite the huge pressure the Covid-19 crisis
placed on them. The level of care and compassion given was excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A really lovely home. Mum settled in well and we're delighted that she is so well cared for. Without exception, all the staff we've encountered have been professional, welcoming, cheerful, polite and caring to Mum but also to Dad and us (daughters), and the grandchildren too. Facilities are great, lovely
ensuite rooms, everywhere is really fresh and clean. Food is excellent, with individuals' likes/dislikes and changing dietary needs accommodated. Afternoon tea and cake is a big hit. Lovely range of activities available which are interesting and stimulating. Nice community links too (pre-Covid of course). Current Covid restrictions have been a massive challenge but one the home has handled so well. Most importantly, they've kept everyone safe. Lack of visitors has put a huge strain on the staff and they have done everything practically feasible to facilitate contact between residents and their loved ones. Thank you, well done to you all, you're doing a great job in difficult times.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
While the staff seem efficient and the building is very pleasant unfortunately the upper management is not emphatic at all. During covid, no window or car park visits allowed. Appeals to the area manager resulted in very rude responses to family members.
In a caring profession, its outrageous loved
ones are denied contact in a safe environment when other care homes are going out of their way to help residents.
Would not send anyone to live in this establishment.
They failed in recent official care homes checks as not meeting standards. A disgrace.

My dad has been with you since October 2019, and he has settled in very well. He always seems very happy when I visit, and the staff are very friendly, kind and willing to help when there is a problem. The home is very tidy and clean. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. My dad loves the activities
they do and been out in the garden when the weather is nice as they have a big outdoor area.

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.
