Review from Louisa H (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad lived at Willow Tree for four years. I am so glad that we found Willow Tree. I always felt that the management and all the staff really cared about my Dad and that they actually enjoyed spending time with him. There were always frequent activities, including lots of music, which Dad always loved.
The home is always very clean and bright. It always felt like Dad's home and we were always warmly welcomed when visiting him. There was regular contact from the Team regarding Dad's care/ health etc. We, as a family, were given support as well as Dad - including meetings about Dad's care plan, wishes for end of life etc. Obviously, because Dad had Alzheimer's, his health was gradually declining during his time at WT. The Team responded brilliantly to Dad's changing needs. The Palliative care given at the end was amazing - both supporting Dad, and us as a family. We owe a huge debt of gratitude.


Thank you all...... you were amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Willow Tree is a lovely care home. The staff are incredibly caring and respectful and take the time to get to know the residents and their relatives. My father was here for a number of years and during that time was happy and settled. The home is very clean and modern and the staff friendly and attentive.
Dad enjoyed all the activities the home offered and the food! As relatives, we were always made to feel like it was his home and welcomed at any time. I would recommend without hesitation. Thank you!

My Father has spent 4 years at Willow Tree Lodge and despite his health deteriorating throughout that period the care provided has always been excellent.
The staff are brilliant at caring, work really hard to engage residents in activities and always welcome visitors.
The home is modern, light and
clean. The catering team provide a variety of excellent meals.
Overall we are very happy to have found Willow Tree Lodge and will certainly recommend it to others.

Review from Clive (Relative of Resident) published on 9 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely impressed with this care home. Our relative, in fact all residents are happy, alert and very well looked after. The infrastructure is always immaculate and constantly being maintained and improved. The staff are always attentive and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.


I have

supplied the care home with memorabilia, wall plates, pictures etc which have great significance to our relative and within a day these have been put up in his room, giving him much pleasure. The gardens are beautifully maintained and accessible for the benefit and enjoyment of residents. A mini bus is often booked to take the residents out for a few hours. I can find no fault with Willow Tree Lodge.

Review from David K (Son of Resident) published on 9 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
You've seen the other reviews so you know this care home is good. When my father died we had to find professional help for my mother - Alzheimer's and other medical issues. My Aunt and I visited 5 other care homes in the area and Willow Tree Lodge was just the most welcoming and lovely place to see.
My mother has been there for a while now and she is the happiest I have seen her for years. Unfortunately she no longer recognises me as her son but it is so great to visit when we can (time and distance are a problem) to have tea and biscuits with a lovely lady in pleasant surroundings. I have considered moving her nearer to us but we would run the risk of seeing her more often in a much worse place. The management and staff are wonderful and worth every penny. My mum is in great hands, while the funds last. This is what I want when the dementia catches up with me as it most likely will.

Review from Dennis Y (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 4 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Willow Tree Lodge has cared for my father-in-law since September 2015. Family members had looked at other care homes before choosing Willow Tree Lodge as the best.


The care he receives is excellent and tailored to his individual needs. He enjoys his meals and is stimulated by the activities provided

for residents.


The management and staff of Willow Tree Lodge are skilled, competent and very friendly. Nothing is too much trouble when caring for residents or dealing with family concerns.


Willow Tree Lodge provides high-quality care in an attractive environment.

Review from Julia L (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has very little mobility and needs help with all activities, washing, eating and transfers. Her mental state is extremely delicate, she suffers from hallucinations and voices. The staff show every care and attention to all my mothers needs. They are always very kind and caring, not just with
the everyday care needs, but also comforting her and re-assuring her on a daily basis. I could not ask for better care for my mother, and I know that I can talk to any member of staff and management whenever required. It is a great comfort to me and my family to know that my mother is receiving the very best of care.

My Mum has been resident at Willow Tree Lodge for two years. The care and understanding she has been given throughout this time has been excellent. Apart from Dementia, Mum also has hearing and sight impairment and therefore has a high falls risk. Everything possible has been put in place to make
sure that she stays safe at all times. All of the staff are very welcoming, thoughtful and kind. The home has a lovely happy atmosphere and although it took my mum a little while to settle in, it is wonderful to see how content she has become.

Since my mother arrived at Willow Tree Lodge the care, attention and support has and still is excellent. nothing is too much trouble and we are kept fully informed of events and mother's requirements. There have been a couple of occasions when I have not been able to attend an appointment and the staff
have taken Mum for me. I cannot speak highly enough about them.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Willow Tree Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.955 for Willow Tree Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Willow Tree Lodge is based on 11 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 11 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.
