Mum has received brilliant care since she moved in during 2022. There have been occasional problems but staff and management have always listened to any concerns and have rectified them quickly and efficiently. A lovely care home with a welcoming family atmosphere.

Knowing that my husband is being cared for very well by friendly, competent staff is a huge relief. It is very hard to stop doing the caring at home for myself and I am sure family of other residents feel the same.

Mum came here for respite, and is hopefully staying permanently. I'm really happy with how well she has been cared for. She has really settled and is happy here. I'm very pleased with how the staff look after mum. Anyone who would consider to come here would be more than looked after.

We are very happy with the care mum receives. All the staff are very friendly, helpful and care about the residents. We had quite a difficult time getting mum a permanent residency here, but the staff were a massive help in achieving this and the support they offered, made it happen and we can't thank
them enough. Thank you for looking after our mum.

I found the home warm and welcoming. My mum has settled well. Staff always update me on how mum is, care plans are good and these support her needs, care, etc. The home is clean, and has no odours.
The activities in the home are meaningful, and those my mum participate in encouraging conversation with
the carers. Since mum has been here, she is colouring and writing the name of the home, which mum has not done for a longtime. Thank you for making mum happy and contented.

The care my father receives is wonderful. My dad is always clean with nails cut and cleaned regularly. The food is plentiful and there is a whole range. Drinks (even a bar!) range from tea, coffee, juice, milkshake and hot chocolate. Resident activities each day. Residents go out, activities brought
in. I recommend 10/10. All staff polite and friendly.

The staff and everyone are very caring and helpful. Very pleased with how my friend has settled in and is so much calmer than she was in the latter stages of being at home. She doesn't realise she is in a nursing home and says looking forward to coming now as she never ever wanted to leave her home
of over 60 years. She is safer here then she was at home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.616)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.616) out of 10 for Corner Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.616 for Corner Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.616

  • 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 Corner Lodge is based on 19 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
