Very pleased to hear that my cousin is well looked after and calm in himself. Corner Lodge is a very supportive environment for him and his health is greatly improved here. Suggest trying Flax seeds in his diet, it works for his other relatives. Many thanks for your kindness and care.

I am extremely happy with the care provided and the cleanliness of this home. Dad is always clean and well kept, well fed and his health has improved greatly since he has been here. The staff are friendly and welcoming and kept me informed of any changes. The home is immaculately clean, well decorated
and homely. There are always activities going on which are nice to attend and see how other residents react and join in. I would be happy to book myself a place here.

The standard of care was very good, and the support was very good. As far as the food was concerned they were very cooperative as my wife could be difficult with food- it was generally quite good. The staff are very good, the managerial side was very cooperative. I liked the entertainment.

My mother went to Corner Lodge in April 2017. I live in Malawi and can only visit when I come back, usually twice a year. Obviously, I was very concerned for her well-being, given all the horror stories that one reads about care homes. It is a huge relief that I find her to be in such a lovely, caring
and clean environment. My mother appears to be content and well cared for. I hope that this continues. It is a credit to all of the staff that such kindness and concern is shown to the residents.

I can only say I have great peace of mind leaving my mum at Corner Lodge. She is so happy, I know because I go to see her almost every day.
The staff always make me feel so welcome.
My mum was always very conscientious of how she looked and the staff dress her lovely (matching).

Both my mother and father have been cared for at Corner Lodge. Sadly my mum passed away last year but was always treated with love, kindness and dignity. This applies also to my father. The staff are very caring and are always there with a cuddle and smile. Entertainment is also of a very high quality
and things are arranged at very regular intervals for the residents. I am very happy with the care given here.

My sister has been a resident in Corner Lodge since October 2015. Since becoming a resident in Corner Lodge, she has joined in the activities basketball, snakes 'n' ladders, flower arranging and has found a whole new social life, she loves it in there, she also loves the quizzes. The staff are friendly
and welcoming and always make time to discuss with you the resident's needs.
The staff and management are helpful, and the home is kept fresh and clean and nicely decorated. There is always plenty of food and drinks for the residents and their families. Great friendly atmosphere

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.
