Always made welcome on arrival.
The home and facilities are of a very high standard. Together with the very comprehensive activity programme. The residents have their rooms personalised and are kept clean and tidy. The food is excellent.

As a family, our experience with Corner Lodge has been excellent. Grandma is really enjoying her time here, she has returned to be more like the grandma we knew. Since coming to Corner Lodge she has developed a great sense of humour. The entertainment keeps her physically and mentally active. We cannot
thank all the staff enough for the care they give Grandma. As quoted to me by her 'being here (Corner Lodge) is better than home!

My wife has been a resident here for over two and a half years. It was an excellent decision as she is safe, happy and well cared for. I visit most days and the staff (carers, managers and domestic) all welcome me by my first name. I sometimes share a meal with my wife and find the meals excellent.
The entertainment is first class and really varied. My wife enjoys the changes to her routine. Her room was redecorated this year and is now bright and colourful, like the public areas. No criticism to mention, every home could use Corner Lodge as a template.

I am overall very satisfied with the level of service and care my mum receives. On the rare occasions I have had reason to voice my concerns they have always been met with a professional approach and a very satisfactory outcome.
The staff are always extremely helpful and professional in my dealings
with them. The activities programme is always varied and fun for the residents.

The care and support my Mother receives is exceptionally good. The care home and staff have made her life in old age very happy and fulfilling. She enjoys the in-house entertainment. The staff at Corner Lodge care a credit to the caring profession, nothing is too much trouble for them. Both my self
and family would have no problem recommending Corner Lodge to anyone.

I cannot fault the care that was given to my mother. The staff were always welcoming when I visited and Mum was happy here. The hardest thing to do is put your parent into a care home and this experience was made so much easier by the staff here.
I would highly recommend this 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.
