Thanks for all your very useful feedback. We are looking forward to the meeting we have booked in today to help us all understand these issues as we cannot change Residents tops if they don't want us to even if they are dirty after lunch. You're right about those food choices for supper times for those who want them rather than soup or salad. Lunch times are more substantial like roasts and pies but of course, meals are bespoke to Resident preferences and personal choices.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to care for Mum and she taught us all so much. It was lovely to be able to have the support from all of the family too to ensure that the care given was to the highest standard. Your kind words have been shared with the team and mean so much.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for Cleeve Lodge Residential 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.744 for Cleeve Lodge Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.744
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 Cleeve Lodge Residential Care Home is based on 19 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2008
I am Cerisa, known as Risa, Registered Manager at Cleeve Lodge Residential Home in Downend. We care for adults over the age of 65 who require support with their daily living or who simply require companionship.
I first started working in care in 1998 and moved to Cleeve Lodge in 2008. I have NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Health & Social Care and recently achieved my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management.
Outside of work, I live with my husband and three teenage children. My household is very busy and noisy with my children and two dogs but I wouldn't change it for anything. My children forever make me smile.
The most important lesson that I have learnt has been that working in a team achieves much more than working in isolation. The best piece of advice that I was once given was to believe in myself as I can achieve great things.
Job Title: Operations Manager
Joined: 2008
I am Helen Haughton, I support the Homes in the Kew Care Group as Operations Manager. I started working in health & social care in 2001 when I graduated from Cardiff University and joined Kew Care Group in 2008. I was the Registered Manager of Cleeve Lodge Residential Home for 10 years achieving an Outstanding CQC rating in 2018. In addition to this, I had been working alongside the other Managers within the Group for several years but took on the operations role full-time in 2018 and now split my time between the four Homes.
The best piece of advice that I was once given was to teach and mentor others and they will be the best reflection of you.
