Whilst the building work is going on it can be difficult to get in which is especially unpleasant if it is raining. The staff are kind and friendly and mother, although she has no idea where she is or why, seems happy.

Reply from Lisa McAnulty, Home Manager at South Moor Lodge Care Home

Thank you for this information and while improving the home/building for all residents long standing and new this is something that unfortunately we cant help and the Team do try there best to answer the rear gate as quick as they are able whilst also supporting residents. However the good news is the new front entrance has been planned to be up and running second week in April 2025. Glad you are happy with the care your mum is being supported with.Kind Regards.

My mother, who is 92 years of age and suffers with dementia, took up previously in South Moor Lodge in November of last year. Since then I have visited her twice a week. On these visits I have found all staff to be polite and helpful. My mother's room is clean and tidy. The food provided seems to be
of a high standard. The residents are provided with entertainment on a regular basis. I would highly recommend this care home.

Mum is really well cared for and I am always kept informed about her care. The staff take time to speak and stop to talk to her when they are passing. That is all the staff not just those involved in her direct care but the kitchen staff and maintenance team as well. The meals are good, the home is
clean and the activities fun.

Overall, the home is good, there are plenty of staff about and the home is clean and fresh with several communal areas for residents to sit and a small library with a good selection of books of many genres. The food looks good and nicely presented and I'm told it is good by my relative. From what I
have seen the staff are caring and largely happy to help and have a good rapport with the residents. There have been one or two incidents where other residents have been found in my relative's room resulting in a bit of damage and missing items and I think maybe some residents need a bit more one on one care to prevent this keep happening, but also understand that sometimes these things can happen with so many residents often not realising it isn't their room. My relative has only been there a few months but I feel she is safe and well cared for at this home, so overall I think the home is good and would recommend it to others.

Wonderful staff who always have time to talk and update us. Mum initially struggled with the move, not eating or socialising, but the staff have been so patient and encouraging. She is now back to nearly normal eating, loves watching the comings and goings of other residents and visitors and has even
tried some of the exercise classes (she hasn't done any exercise for decades). Moving her into a home was a big decision, but moving her to Southmoor Lodge was the best thing for her and we now have peace of mind knowing she is safe and cared for.

The resident is settled and says the carers will do anything to help her.
The care home is warm and smells fresh.
The rooms are spacious and ensuite outside agencies come to the home e.g. psychiatrists, nurses, activity leaders, and audiologists.
The residents like the food. Her laundry is washed,
ironed and returned all on the same day.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

The area around the care home is always tidy and litter-free.
The main entrance to the home could be improved by having a small canopy over the door, a shelter for visitors against rain etc. When the staff are busy they cannot answer the door immediately. In the home, it is always clean, tidy with
no smells. The staff are always very welcoming, helpful and from our experience very caring towards the residents. On one occasion we were witnesses to an incident between 2 residents in the main lounge. There were no carers in the lounge. A member of the kitchen staff defused the situation before it developed as it could have been nasty.
We have only seen the tea time meal. It looks very nice, well presented, plenty of it and a good choice. From photos etc on social media there are a lot of well-organised activities. Including keep fit, singing and dancing which are all enjoyed by residents. The room, occupied by my Mother, is warm, clean and tidy.
Overall we are very satisfied with South Moor.

Reply from Lisa McAnulty, Home Manager at South Moor Lodge Care Home

Thank you for this information and we are glad that you are happy with the service we provide, Just to forward some information within the coming months we will be refurbishing the home and extending, the two buildings where you walk into the courtyard will joined on together and will become the new front door and entrance, with a reception area, This is the reason we have not made alterations to the door that is used at present. This will no longer have an effect on anyone having to wait for long periods of time while our care team are supporting your loved ones.

The home as a whole is ok. As all care homes, could benefit from more staff. I often have to wait up to 30 minutes to be admitted to visit. The bedding and towels are generally very tired and don't fit beds. The majority of the staff are very caring, some are just doing a job.

My mum has only been at Southmoor Lodge for a few months, but in that time has had a few medical issues and 2 hospital admissions, but the staff have been good with Mum on her return.
We have found them to be helpful and caring and they do a great job under, sometimes difficult circumstances.
The
food is good and varied, the home is clean and tidy.
There are various daily activities for anyone who wants to partake, plus a visiting hairdresser, chiropodist, musicians and singers, which is a nice touch.
Overall we are happy with Mum's care. Thank you.

My mother has been in the care home for 12 months - family visit her every day - I come twice a week.
I feel she is being well cared for and staff generally offer full support when she finds things difficult. She often complains about the food (however, I cannot comment) - she hates the cold plates!
The entrance required improvement - visitors are required to stand out in the cold/wet. A refreshment area for visitors/residents would be beneficial - just a coffee machine?

Mum has been a resident for 3 years and has been very happy at South Moor Lodge. She is well looked after and enjoys all the meals provided. The staff are very welcoming to visitors. Mum has had a few health scares over the past year. The staff listen and takes on board any worries that I have about
Mum's health and works closely with the local doctor's team to provide the correct health care. I bring one of Mum's old friends with me every week and she is also impressed with the care provided. The home also provides activities and entertainment throughout the year which Mum has enjoyed.

I cannot thank the staff at this care home enough, they are kind, caring and always attentive even when their resources at stretched. I always find it clean and well maintained. They meet my mum’s particular needs daily and she always looks well cared for. I visit most days so see a lot of the staff
who are so welcoming. The lady provides lovely activities and entertainment and the ‘pub’ is a huge success in the summer months. My only criticism is the entrance and having to sometimes wait a period of time before the extremely busy staff have chance to answer the door bell. However I can see from your mission statement that this is hoping to be addressed. I have another family member in the home and who has been a resident for approximately 3 years so was very happy for this to be my mum’s home too. Thank you to the manager and all the superb staff, you’re saints in my eyes.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for South Moor Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.619 for South Moor Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.619

  • 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 South Moor Lodge Care Home is based on 27 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
