  • Acer Lodge, Blackburn
Acer Lodge care home in Blackburn is newly built (2024) offering dementia nursing, nursing and residential care for people over 55.

The home offers heart-centred and high-quality care, fostering a sense of community, well-being and independence.

Acer Lodge is committed to ensuring the comfort and dignity of the people who live there, through supporting the people who work there, to be the best they can be.

They choose their teams by assessing emotional intelligence first and attitude second. They train their people exceptionally well and their teams love their training and induction to the organisation.

They want to speak with you in person - this decision is one of the hardest ones you will ever make, so they don't expect an email or call will help you make a decision that is right for you, or the person you love.

They are happy for you to drop by at any time to meet them (there are no specific visiting times). If you would like them to spend time exploring your circumstances and planning next steps, do make contact with them as they will schedule time in their diaries to ensure you have the time and space needed for this important conversation.

Review from S N (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad moved into Acer Lodge recently from another care home. He has settled in so well. He is eating and drinking so much better and is even back to walking with help from the ever-attentive team. The home is lovely, the attention to detail is second to none and such a homely place I couldn't wish
for better. My dad's room overlooks the canal and is a lovely peaceful place for him. We are so happy that he has made this move. His quality of life is so much better and as a family we are happy with the care given to him we don't need to worry so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Acer 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.797 for Acer Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.797
  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 Acer Lodge is based on 21 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 21 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.
