My mum has been in Willows Lodge for a few years now. When she first arrived there she was underweight, she refused to walk and feed herself. But with the help and support from staff, she now walks around aided with a frame. She has put on weight, to the point where I have had to go and buy new clothes
for her - twice! She is happy and very settled there now. Staff are very friendly and happy to help.

My Nan came to this home in July 2015 until December 2015. She has been so happy here, well looked after, clean all the time. The staff have treated my Nan so well. Also at the end of life they looked after us as well and could not do any more to help us. They are underpaid for what they do and work
long hours and this puts them under pressure. We cannot recommend this nursing home highly enough and are so thankful.

My nan came here in July 2015 with severe dementia and terminal stage 4 cancer, we had a very bad experience with nan at her previous care home. We literally couldn't have asked for any better care for not only my nan but for the whole of my family when visiting. They have made my nan's last months
joyful, happy and extremely content. All the nurses and carers have gone beyond the call of duty and care. We are astonished with their kindness. They need and deserve much more acknowledgement for all they do.

My mother was receiving end of life care. Your nurses, head carers, carers, cleaners are wonderful, they have given a top service. They looked after mum, she was so clean and had all her dignity while she was passing. I can't thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.524)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.524) out of 10 for Willows Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.667 for Willows Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 3.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Willows Lodge Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.357

  • 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.
