They know me and my brother, and know his needs. He speaks highly of them, the way that he is looked after and the food. The no ratings for value for money and care/support are because I have no knowledge or experience of them.

Lavender Lodge is beautifully prepared and decorated for Christmas. The Christmas party, attended by residents, staff, management and residents' family and friends was superb. The kitchen provided a fabulous spread for all and though the staff were mingling they were also continuously checking that
the residents were cared for at all times. A photo of each resident on a Christmas card and signed by the resident for the family, was the icing on the cake. Thank you one and all!

My Dad has settled well into Lavender Lodge. He struggles with his dementia and the staff are kind, understanding and make him laugh. They have got to know him well and I feel confident in his care. They also welcome family at any time which is so helpful.

Mum moved into Lavender Lodge at the beginning of October 2024, she has settled in very well thanks to all the caring staff and the manager. The manager and her team have been very helpful with the transition of Mum moving in and settling. Mum says she feels at home, this is one of the things we liked
about Lavender Lodge when we visited. It has a real home-from-home feel about it.

I can't describe how wonderful the team have been looking after my granny. The care shown to both my granny and my family has been thorough and truly genuine. I feel very secure that she is safe and their needs are being met.

Staff do their best, in all situations (it's not an easy job at times). Would be nice if meals were a bit hotter when they arrive and I do enjoy a hot cuppa often. My room is great and has a big TV. There are plenty of activities but I prefer to stay in my room.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.656) out of 10 for Lavender Lodge 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.656 for Lavender Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 291 Ratings = 4.656

  • 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 Lavender Lodge is based on 25 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 25 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.
