Thank you for your lovely review, I will share your feedback with the team as this is really important to us. We have switched to a digital care planning system recently, so this will be why you see staff using their handsets to document care and support given in communal areas. We document all care given in real-time to improve the accuracy of our documentation, and to free up staff time to be able to spend engaging with residents. If you'd like to share any further comments with me at all, my door is always open to chat.

Thankyou for your kind words and lovely review of the care we give for Dad. We hold quarterly menu planning meetings with our residents, and most definitely will include some cold options for the summer. We will make sure your comments about Dad's food are passed to the team to incorporate into his support plans.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) out of 10 for Barchester Cepen Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.836 for Barchester Cepen Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (479 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 568 Ratings = 4.836
b) 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 Barchester Cepen Lodge Care Home is based on 48 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 48 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Senior General Manager

Hi, my name is Jade, and I am the Senior General Manager here at Cepen Lodge. Welcome to our website!
I started working in care at 18 and knew I’d found my calling. I quickly progressed through various roles, and completed all of my qualifications, becoming Home Manager 5 years later. I’m really passionate about high-quality person-centred dementia care, and this has always been really important to me especially as a Manager, to support my team in providing. My favourite part of the job is meeting all of our residents, and finding out about their life histories and backgrounds – I’ve met some really interesting people throughout my career, and think life history plays such a vital part in someone’s care. Now I hope to use the skills I’ve learned throughout the years to provide excellent care to those at Cepen Lodge.
Please feel free to give me a call or pop in for a visit; we would be more than happy to show you our beautiful home.
