Cannot fault the care home in any way. The staff truly care about their residents and are personally concerned about their welfare. My aunt responded better here than with other carers because of the way the staff interacted with her.

Six months into my father's care here and I have nothing but praise for all the staff I have encountered at the setting. My father's advanced dementia along with very limited eyes meant that all our family, in particular, my mother (87) were full of anxiety and concern when the decision was made for
him to go into a home. We worry no more.

My father was admitted to Corner Lodge Care Home in December 2020. All the staff have been very kind and supportive of him. They have kept me informed of any issues with his care. They have been very supportive of my mother on her visits to see my dad, even helping her to create a small garden for him.
They have been really caring of him and my family.

Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on his room and facilities as because of Covid no one has been able to enter the home but I cannot praise the wonderful staff enough.

My friend is a resident at Corner Lodge, who I take out for outings and activities, supported by her family. Blue, my bichon dog, comes in to visit the residents who like dogs and put a smile on their faces. Staff are always very welcoming, and I cannot find any issues with the home, always spotless.

Her room is pleasant and kept tidy and clean.

Review from Jacqueline L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 24 August 2021
Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

Total care towards my father-in-law disgraceful. Told on numerous occasions that he should be in a nursing home and not here - we had to source this ourselves through the local authorities and thankfully he has now been moved. The manageress was annoyed that he was being moved, told that we had to give
a month's notice and referred to themselves as a business, no statement that they are a care home. Totally not impressed with the care attitude that I witnessed when visiting. My father in law's personal effects including a hearing aid now only left with one, went missing, no one could give us a reason, only that there is a resident that goes into other residents rooms and takes things! My father in law's room was disgusting, wallpaper peeling, dado rail loose, indentations and marks on the painted part of the walls. Told that the month's notice would pay for the redecoration. Well, it certainly was not decorated when he moved in.

Reply from Rahul Jagota, Director at Corner Lodge

Thank you for your review. We note your disappointment and are sorry you feel this way. I have spoken to next of kin. We clarified the manager was not annoyed however we expressed a general apology, including for the loss of one hearing aid. We wished that the other concerns were raised whilst your relative was still our resident to give us opportunity to rectify. Nevertheless, we will revisit to seek improvement.

Excellent Covid procedures. Makes visiting harder but understand it's necessary. Having not been into the care home itself makes judging difficult, but from what I see and hear everything is good.

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.
