I was in for a week's respite. I was impressed by the quality of care and amenities including the design and layout of the surroundings. The courtesy of the staff and their attitude was exemplary.

Review from Ashlie H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 1 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have never been so impressed with a care home, it's more like a hotel the facilities are fantastic. The difference in my granny from having the constant interaction and different faces has been amazing today she had a hand massage done and actually engaged in a conversation which is massive from last
week. Today I felt she needed her hair washed and lo and behold all the staff went to lengths to ensure she had a wee spot with their hairdressers to have a wee pamper done. Cannot recommend this place enough we were all extremely anxious about her going in for a wee holiday but we had nothing to be anxious over. Friendly staff and again amazing at what they are doing thank you so so much

Review from Fiona H (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was very settled in Hilton Lodge and appeared to have enjoyed her stay (Mum has Dementia so is not able to fully express her own opinion!). This was a first respite stay and we were anxious about how Mum would be but all seemed to go very well. We had no problem establishing old routines on her
return home and all in all the experience was positive.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.517)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.517) out of 10 for Hilton Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.809 for Hilton Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (38 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.809
  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 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hilton Lodge is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.333
  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.
