Melba Lodge Ltd is based in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and well-located for assisting adults with mental health needs to improve on residents' Activities of Daily Living and in a more fulfilling daily lifestyle.

The aim is to support service users to make the most of local amenities and activities, developing their self-esteem and personal confidence and ultimately moving on to less supported accommodation in the future. Above all, to achieve goals of more independent style of living.

The home is family oriented and friendly. Care is delivered in a clean, comfortable and homely atmosphere.

The Vision is to enhance the quality of life of residents.
The Purpose is to deliver quality care and support.
One of the Values is kindness to residents, families, partners and colleagues. The Team strive to support residents to live an ordinary life as far as possible. The staff work as a Team to deliver the goals of residents. Above all, residents are given choice.

Homes are staffed by experienced carers, with Sky TV, internet, computer and a large garden where vegetables and herbs are grown.

Residents are encouraged and supported to attend all health check appointments and improve well-being. A Chiropodist visits the Home regularly to attend to residents.

The Home is activity focused. Residents have been taken on holidays around the coastal areas of Essex, Sussex and Surrey. Residents celebrate birthdays depending on the choice of the resident. Some opt for party in-house where family and friends are invited. They are given a birthday cake and a present. Some residents opt for a pub lunch, others opt for the cinema or bowling. Residents attend various activities in the community including coffee mornings, singing and dancing, attending college to participate in ceramic classes.

Review from G G (Private Carer of Resident) published on 25 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The owner is very nice, very easy to speak to, very caring. My service user goes to Melba Lodge for respite breaks, she enjoys her stay very much, she always used to go to another home for respite but since she has been to Melba Lodge she always looks forward to her next visit. She is looked after very
well and my service user is very demanding, and needs a lot of attention. She gets all of this at Malba Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.000) out of 10 for Melba Lodge Ltd 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Melba Lodge Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Melba Lodge Ltd is based on 1 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    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 4 registered maximum number of service users is 0.8, which has been reached with 1 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.
