Review from J W (Relative of Resident) published on 10 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
On raising concerns, I was e-mailed by a representative of the Care Home on 13/7/22 and informed that she would be getting in touch with me within the 28-day period as highlighted within their Complaints procedure. It is now 79 days and still counting.
I was also informed by the Central Administrative
Department of the Care Home Group on 22/4/22 that due to a change in my relative's circumstances that a refund of the fees would be made within six to eight weeks. Whilst some of the money has been repaid a sum is still owed by them and it now stands at twenty-nine weeks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I do not have a problem with staff, rather lack of them. They are very understaffed which puts a terrible strain on everyone working there plus it also puts the patients in danger. I think there should be a law to prevent this from happening. I don't believe a home should be allowed to operate without
the correct ratio of carers versus patients. I actually feel sorry for the people trying hard to provide the care that is needed when they are obviously exhausted.

My mother suffers from Alzheimer's and was removed due to concerns regarding the lack of stimulation in the residential dementia unit. Her physical and mental health suffered significantly in her 4-week stay here. Thankfully she is settled and happy in her current home and in a much better state.

My husband has been in Lakelands Lodge since November 2021, apart from about a month when he was in the hospital with urinary sepsis and then Covid. The care has been excellent, and the staff have responded to his different needs as his condition deteriorated. We could not be more grateful, not only
to the nurses and carers but also to the staff on reception, cleaners and occasionally the kitchen staff. They have been caring, kind and understanding, not only with my husband but also with me and our family.

Thank you for the care and wellbeing you give to the resident, she is very happy and comfortable and above all feels very safe and looked after in your care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was first able to visit my mum in early November 2021. I was very impressed with the home, and in particular with the carers. My mother's face would light up whenever they came into the room, which showed me that she was content and happy. She looks well cared for, clean and healthy, and is treated
with dignity. She has a sea view room which she loves, and there is always something to keep her interest. I feel it is very important that she sees the outside world. I would highly recommend this home as it does feel like a home from home (or a 5* hotel!). The staff were so kind to me as well, and very accommodating. Thank you Lakelands Lodge for all you do.

My nan moved here in the last couple of months and there has been an instant improvement in her health and wellbeing. She has started to lift her mood daily and is actually wanting to get out of bed, unlike her last placement. The home is beautiful and the staff are fantastic. Always a welcome feeling
when you arrive. I highly recommend Lakelands Lodge. Also, the concierge and manager are fantastic and really friendly.

Review from Heather D (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This home came recommended to us by a friend, whose mother was already a resident. It is not a ‘one size fits all’ organisation I am very pleased to say. Shortly after Dad moved to Lakelands Lodge we were contacted by the manager, who advised a change for Dad, due to what he thought was in Dad's best
interests, after having spent some time with him. We were so pleased to hear this. It established trust with our family that Dad is in a place where people really care. The manager and his team are easy to contact and talk to. Due to Covid-19, we are taking Dad out for walks at most visits but we are very much looking forward to spending time in Lakelands Lodge and I can’t say the same for some of the other homes I have had visited on occasions.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed. The Covid regulations were strictly adhered to. The staff were very friendly and approachable. Beautiful, clean rooms. My husband was well settled and is being very well cared for, he was alert and responsive. He is treated with respect and the dignity
that he deserves. He is eating well too. I wish that he had been moved here years ago.

Due to Covid there is only so much I can comment on - but my husband has only been in Lakelands for 3 weeks, transferred from hospital after a fall. All the staff I've spoken to on the phone or seen face to face have been exceptional at a very emotional time. They have gone out of their way to help
in anyway possible. They are friendly, very kind and deeply caring and my husband has settled in well.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for Lakelands Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 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 40 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 4.626 for Lakelands Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (148 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 471 Ratings = 4.626
  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 Lakelands Lodge is based on 40 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 40 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.
