My husband has been in Middleton Lodge for nearly a year. From not walking, no communication and not being able to eat properly, moving forward to December, he is walking slowly, eating well and most days very happy. He has severe Vascular Dementia. But this home is like a big hug, the staff are very
caring, lovely place. He has also visited the mini Christmas Fair in the home in December.

Generally good but noisy atmosphere in dining room. Excellent cooking, but food is often cold.
Service is sometimes slow.

I wish to thank all of the care staff, especially the three carers who looked after me when I had a fall and waited six and a half hours for the ambulance to arrive. I can highly recommend your care home to anyone needing respite.

Review from H B (Resident) published on 20 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. My second-floor room was lovely and everywhere well-furnished and comfortable. Number of pillows on bed was a nuisance and nowhere to put them as I only needed one. Meals were good on the whole but no menu on the second floor. The eggs at breakfast were always
hard as they had to stand a long time. Some fresh fruit at breakfast would have been nice. Just teething troubles I think. Disabled parking needs to be monitored as it was abused.
Reply from Joanne Graves, Home Manager at Middleton Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your kind comments and your feedback is appreciated. Fresh fruit is now available on all floors throughout the day but we will ensure that this is available at breakfast. We are purchasing display stands for the top floor menus so that these are available.

The actual home is excellent. The cleanliness, food and drink are also excellent. Staff can only be as good as recruitment allows. Sometimes shortages cause hardship e.g. my friend being put into bed at 1:30 am.
Reply from Joanne Graves, Home Manager at Middleton Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

I am sorry that you feel the staff are only as good as recruitment allows. Recruitment can be challenging at times and I am pleased to say that the staff team that we do have has the resident's best interests at heart. As a home, we deliver person-centred care and as much as is practically possible we will support residents to maintain their lifestyle choices and sometimes this means that they choose to retire in the early hours.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this home highly enough, it is lovely, clean and modern with caring supportive staff. My mum has been a resident at this care home for over 8 months. Mum reluctantly moved from her beloved bungalow into a home as she was no longer able to care for herself at home. She has found the
transition very difficult, however the staff have been unfailingly supportive and kind to both Mum and our family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Middleton Lodge in May 2023 and is happy and settled.
She is very well cared for, loved and known by all of the staff and carers.
Any issues arising are dealt with swiftly and satisfactorily.
Staff are always friendly and polite and treat Mum with respect and care.
We can visit Mum
whenever we want (and do many times each week), but we know that we can leave her happy in the knowledge that she is, and will remain, safe and looked after very well.
Middleton Lodge feels like an extended family.

I moved into Middleton Lodge only a few days ago. I have found all staff to be friendly, happy and helpful. I have not yet had the opportunity to experience all the facilities i.e cinema, hairdressing. I have found all food to be appetising and nutritious. Coffee coffee-making machine is good, a treat
for me. It is currently not possible for me to give a comprehensive assessment however things look very promising. Homes of this type are not cheap but I think Middleton represents good value for money.

Simply awesome peace of mind knowing dad is happy and very well looked after, he's forever singing which is a sign he's happy and contented. He's made friends and really likes the staff who are all very good at their jobs. The festivities were so good, including us relatives joining in, we had Christmas
lunch with my father which was beyond beautiful, the church coming into the home is very appreciated too. Lovely thoughtful touch.

This is 100% five-star care and provision. It's a great location for the city and surrounding areas, so really accessible for non-drivers. Mum initially came for respite and loved it so much decided to make it her home. As a family, we couldn't be happier with the support and care given by all staff.
Its become a real family space as we get to know other families and residents. Also great entertainment.

The care at Middleton Lodge is second to none.
The staff are fantastic, kind, patient but also fun and create a better quality of life for the residents.
Mum has become really fond of the staff and settling in well. I am really pleased by how she's being looked after and her needs being met.
Mum
is better physically than she has been in years, has gained some weight and made some new friends.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) out of 10 for Middleton Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.792 for Middleton Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (401 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 490 Ratings = 4.792
  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 Middleton Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 41 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 41 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.
