All the staff are very helpful, friendly and look after the residents extremely well.
There are lots of activities and occasional outings (such as the recent Southend trip) which really seem to boost everyone.

One of the carers has been outstanding in helping my pre-teen daughter begin to overcome her fear of entering the dementia unit to visit a relative. Things were explained to her in a simple way that encouraged her to visit.

I was very impressed with the bright, cheerful and welcoming environment. Private rooms and public areas were all very clean. Most importantly the staff were so friendly and helpful and made the atmosphere very warm and professional.

Good overall service but would be better if more permanent staff were on duty and less agency staff. Not good for the continuation and ongoing care of residents.

From day one of visiting Mayfair Lodge, I have felt comfortable leaving my father there. The staff are generally kind, caring and attentive to residents' needs. My father has settled and is happy and content generally, and I can leave feeling comfortable that he is looked after in a clean, comfortable
environment. I am kept informed about things I need to be and am happy.

Care in the home is pretty good, could be a bit more interest for residents but you are busy. Rooms and toilets very clean and well kept. Staff mostly friendly and helpful, some more so than others. Management efficient, not always clear to as to "rules". Best looking care home, apart from another nearby
care home, but that is a private one. Sometimes staff are a bit low if someone wants to go to the toilet. Although half the time they don't want to go anyway. On the whole Mayfair is not too bad.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.470)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.470) out of 10 for Mayfair Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.470 for Mayfair Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 185 Ratings = 4.47

  • 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 Mayfair Lodge is based on 15 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
