Review from B B (Wife of Resident) published on 24 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having had a distressing experience with a care home where my husband (who has Alzheimer's disease) stayed for respite care, I was reluctant to place him in residential care. My opinion changed when, on the recommendation of one of my husband's carers, my daughter and I visited Brize Meadow Lodge. As
soon as we arrived, we had good vibes about it. After one week of respite care, we could see that he was being well looked after. He has now been a permanent resident for 3 months. We are very pleased we made this decision, as he looks well and content in their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We just wanted to say a big thank you to the managers and all the other staff who have supported our Grandma to settle into lovely Brize Meadow Lodge recently. We have had a few visits to Brize Meadow to meet with management prior to her moving there and the support and patience they offered really
was second to none. Always so welcoming, taking time to listen and offering advice as we needed it. It has been a big step to get to where we are today and we couldn’t have done it without this support. As a family, we are comforted that you will be taking the best care of her, in the beautiful, welcoming home and lovely staff she is surrounded by. She has commented herself on how great and lovely all the staff have been and that nothing is too much trouble. Thank you!
Kind Regards.

Can't fault anything about the care home and staff. They are all so friendly and caring. The home is always welcoming and clean - smelling lovely, unlike other homes we visited. Mum is looked after really well and is great at coping with her dementia outbursts.

I would like to thank all the care team at Brize Meadow Lodge Care Home. Mum has now passed (in hospital on 29/10/2023) however prior to her visit, she was supported and cared for by your team. She enjoyed her puzzle and talked of going home to 'Brize'. Some really five-star treatment for Mum (my brother's
words).
Thank you on behalf of all our family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Right from the beginning the level of care given to both my grandad and to us as a family, made a difficult decision a lot easier.
The home is immaculate, the staff are fantastic. My grandad has settled in so well and we are very well looked after too when we visit.
The food is amazing, activities
are plentiful. Laundry is done for them, doctors will visit, hairdresser on site, grounds are well maintained.
I cannot thank the amazing team enough for what they do.

Review from Pamela J (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father in Law moved into Brize Meadow Lodge in June following a stay in hospital. He was previously living alone, but it was determined that it would no longer be suitable for his needs. As a family we looked at few care homes and decided that Brize Meadow Lodge would fit his needs perfectly as well
as being very close to his family.
Original impressions of the care home are first class, as well as the warm, caring and friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble.
When my Father in Law moved in the staff couldn’t have done any more to make him feel welcome. As a family, we were also made extremely welcome and have been 100% involved in his care. The accommodation is stunning. My Father in Law is extremely comfortable. All his needs are being met, beyond expectations. The catering is excellent, visitors are able to dine with the residents which is lovely. Regular trips out are arranged, together with activities within the home. As a family we would 100% recommend Brize Meadow Lodge.

The care home seems to be well organised; they have many activities for the residents, and the food is excellent. The resident's rooms are clean and tidy at all times, and their laundry is done for them. They have their own cinema so they can watch films.

Mum has been a resident of Brize Meadow Lodge since April. She has settled in really well. All staff have been extremely welcoming and attentive. It was a difficult decision for her and us, moving from her own house to Brize Meadow and she is very happy and was so very quickly, to call this her home
now. She is delighted with her room, very homely, especially as we have been able to bring some of her furnishings and outdoor plants here. She is so much more engaged, her memory seems to have improved and she is walking much better as there is plenty of space. We think with the continued interaction, both with other residents and staff, she will continue to thrive. This was absolutely the best decision!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Brize Meadow 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.894 for Brize Meadow Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.894
  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 Brize Meadow Lodge is based on 24 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
