I was very reluctant to put my mother in care, however staff were very kind to my mum. I would recommend the home. It was clean but a little tired in places. They could do with some material recliners that would be more comfortable for users. I imagine the funding is not there. Congratulations, the
staff were very good.

My father had a stay in the hospital, and coming back to Saxon Lodge, he was still very unwell, with bad mobility and confusion. The staff were so kind towards him and supported him, and with their care and dedication, his mobility returned, and the confusion faded. I was able to visit him happily and
everyone was so pleased for him and the progress made. I can't thank them enough.

Mum's first experience of respite was in a large, glitzy home that resembled a budget hotel chain. My Mum labelled it 'DIY care' and we soon realised that what was needed was somewhere small and with character that got to know us (I include myself) as individuals. Saxon Lodge Residential Home renewed
our faith in care homes. The owner was often present and chatted with us. The manager was professional and effective, the care plan produced (and adapted in Mum's three weeks of respite) took account of all Mum's needs and was clearly read by those delivering the care, for example warmed pads, essential to help Mum's pain, were constantly replenished. Staff were always friendly and kind and I was confident that Mum was happy there. The cook (and her food) was a delight! If I could change anything, it might be a bit of freshening up of the decor, but we had already decided that was way down our list of priorities. Not fully ensuite (basin in the room) but the loo was nearby and access was never an issue.

A most professional efficient and caring home. The staff were so kind to my mother. I couldn't have wished for a safer or more well managed residential home. My sincere thanks.

when my mother arrived at Saxon Lodge on year ago she was very ill. She has been looked after professionally and compassionately and is now in much better health. She enjoys living at Saxon Lodge and has gained some purpose in life.

Saxon Lodge Residential Home home is a family run facility which prides itself on its family environment. The staff are dedicated and caring and spear headed by a manageress who "goes the extra mile" for her staff and residents alike. The home runs like clockwork, is impeccably clean and tidy and provides
good quality food and entertainment, from the relations perspectives. There is absolutely no worry as all of the residents needs, medication and social needs are catered for to the highest standards. Overall a first class establishment.

Since Mum has moved to Saxon Lodge she has been treated with great care and dignity. I no longer have to worry that she is eating as she said it is wonderful to have such lovely home cooked meals. The staff and managers are very approachable and happy to help. Mum wishes that she had gone earlier. She
looks so happy and no longer has the drawn, frightened look that she used to have.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (8.004)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (8.004) out of 10 for Saxon Lodge Residential Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 2 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 4.444 for Saxon Lodge Residential Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (20 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.444

  • 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 3.56 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Saxon Lodge Residential Home Ltd is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.6 = 0.435

  • 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.
