Thank you to all the amazing staff at Warren Lodge who cared for both my grandparents at a time when they needed extra support. You are all so caring and it was lovely to see the individual relationships you had built with each of them. Nothing was ever a problem and you always made us feel welcome.
Care homes can feel strange but you made it feel like a 'home' and this can only come from the makings of a great team

Whilst my mum has been staying at Warren Lodge Care Home, she has been treated well given the care that was set out in her care plan. The staff at Warren lodge understood my mum's dementia and the issues that she would show. If at home she would have been unsafe wandering around the village, partly
clothed. Whereas at Warren Lodge she was safe, from going out into the outside on her own and falling over. there was always a member of staff who were fully trained in the dementia and care industry. The staff and especially when we visited came over as they would care for your loved one as to us. Made us very comfortable. Answered any questions and updates on my mum. I would certainly recommend the care home to anyone who needed help with their loved one who had dementia and needed help and advice. While thinking about this review I have notified a friend who has her mum struggling at home.
Warren Lodge chef modified the food as it was all home cooked, which she enjoyed!

The care that Warren Lodge provides my mother is outstanding. The staff are warm and responsive. The managerial oversight is very evident, with the senior leaders being directly engaged in the care of residents. The communication with friends and relatives is excellent. The home is very welcoming to
visitors, helping make sure the experience is good for all. I know from my social network that other relatives have a similarly positive experience of the home and that it is very well regarded in the local community. I moved Mum to Warren Lodge more than a year ago, from a care home in another part of the country, to be near to us and I am so pleased for Mum that I made that decision.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My husband had suffered from Parkinson’s with Lewy Body Dementia for over 3 years. Caring for him at home was becoming very challenging and in order to recharge batteries my family and I decided on a period of respite care for him. Warren Lodge had been recommended to us and on our initial visit we
were not disappointed. We were made to feel so welcome by the manager and with the wonderfully relaxed feel of the Home and beautiful surroundings we immediately knew that my husband would be happy there. During the period of his respite care it soon became apparent that he was receiving the best possible care and attention by the wonderful staff and we were extremely grateful when he was welcomed there as a permanent resident. Due to the nature of his illness I know that he required extra attention on a daily basis and I could not have asked for more understanding and care, especially so during his final days. He always had a smile for members of staff too so I know he was happy there.

We moved our mother who has dementia into Warren Lodge for respite care whilst our father underwent major surgery for a 6 week period. We had visited some other homes but we had an immediate feeling that this was like home from home from the moment we stepped in. Sadly our father passed away and during
this very difficult time the Manager and staff have been incredibly supportive not only to our mother but to us as a family. Nothing has been too much trouble and the level of care for her has been excellent both physically and in particular emotionally; so much so that we are now hoping to make Warren Lodge her permanent home as she seems so settled.

Warren Lodge has looked after my father-in-law for 18 months until his death this month. It was a very difficult time during the Covid pandemic, but the care and attention he received were simply excellent. It is a very well managed home and all of the staff have been wonderful and have shown such care
and attention at all times, especially during his final weeks. The attention to detail has extended to supporting us through hard times and nothing has been too much trouble. It really does feel like an extended home. My mother-in-law has now moved in and is receiving the same excellent care. Thank you all very much!

My Dad was admitted to Warren Lodge when his wife was taken terminally ill. He had Alzheimer's.
From the very start, the manager and carers were very attentive to his needs. He didn't really understand that his wife was poorly and the team were very sensitive to the difficulty of the situation and
when his wife died, worked very closely with the rest of the family to help him through.
The team at Warren Lodge are very caring, sensitive, communicative and following the lead of an inspiring manager ensured that residents are treated as if Warren Lodge is their own home.
Dad sadly passed away at Warren Lodge but the care he received, particularly in those last few days was second to none. As a family, we also felt cared for and supported and we will be forever grateful for that.
If you are thinking of placing a loved one in the care of Warren Lodge then please accept this review as a recommendation

Warren Lodge is an attractive building setting with fine grounds in the countryside near Wokingham. The move here on account of our age is somewhat unsettling from our home of many years, not helped by Covid. However, the care and attention of all the staff have convinced us that this move is right
and we can live here happily for our remaining years.

My wife has been in care at Warren Lodge for four-plus years, at no time have I had any complaints to make. The management listens to you and keep you well informed. The staff at all levels, I can only say what a grand crowd they are. They make me feel like one of the family. Patience and service could

My aunt has been a resident of Warren Lodge since October 2021.
She has mixed dementia and is no longer able to live independently.
The manager and staff are always very helpful and cheerful. Nothing is too much trouble. The home is always very clean and tidy. My aunt always looks very presentable
and is very happy. The staff keep me informed of any changes to my aunt. I cannot thank them enough.

After a long stay in the hospital, my auntie moved into Warren Lodge last year in the middle of the pandemic. After coming to the care home unfortunately my auntie contracted Covid. We couldn’t visit her due to restrictions but the staff of Warren lodge took excellent care of her and she recovered from
Covid. My auntie never had any plans to move into a care home but after coming to Warren Lodge she has decided to stay there. My auntie suffers from bipolar and because of this her behaviour can be very challenging sometimes but the staff and management have kept me fully informed on how she’s doing and have understood my auntie well. I have no hesitation to recommend Warren Lodge to anyone.

I am so happy with the care my mum is receiving at Warren Lodge. She did recently have an unwitnessed fall, which is, unfortunately, a risk with her worsening dementia. The team took excellent care of her, with the paramedic remarking that Mum was very well cleaned up when she arrived and that her care
plan was exemplary - she said that Warren Lodge is now her favourite care home, given the level of care she saw in action. That was so reassuring to me as Mum is a fairly new resident. The home then sent a member of staff with Mum to the hospital where she was cared for one-on-one during a very long and distressing day. I was so happy she was being looked after.
We have a great relationship with the staff, who are communicative, responsive, and friendly. I feel very happy that Mum is in their care.
I can't ask Mum if she is happy or well taken care of, but I can see that she is relaxed and in a good mood when I come in for a visit and that she and her room are clean. I'm very pleased.

This review is based on one-hour visits in July and November. On both occasions, we were greeted in a friendly and welcoming way by the manager. Other staff with whom we came into contact were helpful and friendly. Our relative said she was content with arrangements there. Her room appeared clean and
orderly. We are unable to access some of the ratings mentioned as we have no visibility.

October 2020 my father entered Warren Lodge. The decision to move from independent living into residential care could never be easy and the transition into adapting and settling into an unknown environment, now to be your home, takes time. However, with the incredible support from everyone at Warren
Lodge, the physical and mental health of my father has shown incredible improvement, since he moved there. He laughs more, smiles a lot and jokes as he used to. He's come back to us from wherever he was going! He has a renewed interest in life.

When my mother needed a home it was a no brainer for us, my Grandmother too had used the home and it's specializing in dementia.
Everyone at the home is very caring and supportive of my mother and give me no doubt she is in the best place. They always have time for us and her when visiting and they
care for her like she was one of their own.

My mother has been a resident at Warren Lodge for nearly two years. Pre COVID I was able to visit freely, so I got to know the staff and the running of the care home very well.
Throughout the difficult times, the staff have been fantastic in caring for our loved ones.
I now visit in the beautiful
garden, which has paths around it, where my mother and I enjoy walking together and then we can rest in her room and spend quality time with each other.
We are always supplied with the required PPE equipment and the staff are thorough at checking our test results.
Her dementia has naturally progressed but I am confident when I go home that she is happy and looked after, and that her individual needs are catered for.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Warren Lodge.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Warren Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.957 for Warren Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (598 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 625 Ratings = 4.957

  • 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 Warren Lodge is based on 53 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 53 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.
