  • Lennox Lodge, Bexhill-on-Sea
Lennox Lodge is a small family owned Residential Home situated in Bexhill. The management team have been running Lennox for over 20 years and have a well established staffing team, with some staff having been employed for over 10 years.

Lennox Lodge is a largely purpose built accommodation, with some of the most breath taking views over Bexhill, with some reaching over to Beachy Head. The team pride themselves on having a home from home atmosphere, which is provided whether a long-term stay or a short-term respite stay is required.

Lennox Lodge endeavours to create a person-centred care plan, which begins at the assessment process. Residents are encouraged to share their preferences and choices, so their care is tailored to reflect this. The trained chefs provide a seasonal menu, ensuring that all homecooked food is varied and enticing. There is a full activity programme which is updated monthly to reflect what residents enjoy and how they wish to spend their time.

I think this is a very good care home and I am happy here. However, I would like more to eat at supper time. I would like two rounds of sandwiches instead of one round. I get very hungry at supper time.

My experience has been very favourable. I am very pleased to be in such a caring h some. The staff care for the residents as if they were their family. Apart from being with my family, I couldn't have chosen a more caring home to be in. I hope I show my thoughts and appreciation to the staff.

I have been in Lennox Lodge as a resident for over two years and cannot fault the care here in any way. The food is excellent, hot and well presented. Any requests are readily available. The staff are willing and cheerful and it is a real homely atmosphere. Every comfort is provided. Born in 1927 and
a trained nurse and midwife. I have worked in India and Africa and seen many care homes.

My Mother in Law went to Lennox Lodge for respite three times. She always said Lennox was a home from home and had a lovely family atmosphere. When we visited the home was always clean, staff happy and welcoming and the atmosphere in general very lovely. We would highly recommend Lennox Lodge and so
would my Mother in Law.

I rang the home to arrange an extra visit to my dad for my mum and I, and was impressed with the friendly, polite staff member who immediately asked if we would like to join Dad for lunch. When my mum and I arrived on the day the home was strikingly clean and well organised. The staff were all very
friendly and attentive. We stayed for a very nice three course lunch made all the more special as the three of us were together. Most importantly my dad is happy and very well cared for at Lennox Lodge.

My mother is very happy there and always cheerful. Well cared for and extremely comfortable. She enjoys the activities and company of other residents. The staff are kind, professional and understanding. The home cooked food is excellent and the whole home is spotlessly clean.

We have been so impressed by the caring and professional approach all members of staff display towards our dad. Every decision has dad's interest at heart. Nothing is too much trouble to make dad feel he is loved and cared for like their own parent or grandparent.
He is encouraged to do as much for
himself as possible, whilst understanding his limitations. He is treated as an individual, with respect, in a care home full of laughter, positive attitudes and genuine kindness. Thank you.

I have found the staff wonderfully friendly, helpful and efficient and the rooms in which my aunt and uncle reside are excellent. My aunt would appreciate a somewhat more varied menu, with a little more emphasis on fresh green vegetables, but my uncle has been happy enough with the food on offer.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.903) out of 10 for Lennox Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.903 for Lennox Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 Lennox Lodge is based on 12 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
