The staff and manager are all very caring and helpful. They are always helpful and happy to update you on your parent or take the phone to them. My father passed away in December, and I collected mum for the funeral, she was dressed and ready, and the staff were so supportive and really easy to talk
to. It meant so much to know that all the staff we're primed and compassionate to each of the resident's circumstances.

Mum has been a resident here since December 2018 and we are extremely grateful for the care she has received over this time, especially during the COVID outbreak. The home did have a few cases but kept us informed of the situation. I know everyone was extremely lucky pulling through and I'm sure it
is all down to the care and attention from all the members of staff. Mum seems happy there and takes part in lots of activities which they put on for the residents. The best thing for me and my sister is that we can see what Mum is up to by checking Facebook. This is an excellent way of keeping involved in her life until visiting restrictions are lifted.

Within days of Mum’s move to South Moor Lodge, we knew we had made the right choice. The improvements in her health and enjoyment of life were, frankly, stunning. We were heartened by the caring, even loving, approach of all the staff and by the way the residents were kept stimulated and occupied. Mum
was quickly embraced by her lively and warm South Moor Lodge family. Naturally, we worried about the threat of the Coronavirus entering the home but when it did, the staff leapt into action, isolating the sick residents with a dedicated care staff. What a huge relief when the last of the patients danced and laughed their way out of quarantine to loud celebrations, South Moor Lodge style. All recovered! No spread! What a truly remarkable job, then and now, by all the staff! Heroes all! And through the months of isolation, all the residents are entertained and kept busy by the wonderful, endlessly cheerful, Activities Director.
Mum says it best, 'My only complaint is, that I have no complaints'! Thank you, South Moor Lodge!

My mother has been a resident in this care home since September 2019, and I can honestly say the care she has received has been exceptional. The patience, kindness and consideration shown to the residents is exemplary. As a daughter who lives in a different time zone (Canada), it is reassuring to know
my mother is being well taken care of.

South Moor Lodge has provided an extremely good standard of care to my father. After living in the home for several months, he has really settled in and found a new lease of life following living on his own for some time. It is a fun place to be with a focus on keeping everyone active and safe. I would
definitely recommend this happy, professional home to anyone contemplating this difficult decision.

The activities lady does an amazing job with the upkeep of the Facebook page, it is so nice to see pictures throughout the week of all the activities that take place. It was also nice to see the memory box that she lovingly created for my mum. We really appreciate it.

The care given to my mum at South Moor Lodge is excellent. All the staff are genuinely caring and treat my mum and all the residents with respect and affection. They are professional, knowledgeable and will look for innovative solutions to the sometimes demanding consequences of dementia. The management
have been very supportive, welcoming and involved. The activities coordinator is wonderful and makes South Moor feel like a home with entertainment. My sister and I are very happy mum is cared for at South Moor Lodge Care Home.

The care home is well run but would benefit for more caring staff.
The rooms are cleaned daily to a high standard. Visitors are made welcome and treated accordingly.

My husband and I visit our brother-in-law with my sister quite often, we have always thought how lovely it is here, even to the point of wanting to stay hear when it's our time for a care home. The staff are just brilliant and would do everything to make things happy for our brother-in-law and all the
residents here. They are also, very good to our sister, us and all visitors.

My husband has just been in South Moor Lodge overnight. The food is excellent and the staff are caring. I did have an issue over painkillers not being issued but it was a misunderstanding and after a discussion with the manageress, who is a very caring person, who explained the situation, I feel happy
that this matter was resolved. Thanks.

My mother moved here in June 2017 after a fall and hospital stay. Originally for respite but she decided that she wanted to stay. We were soon offered a newly-refurbished room, a considerable improvement with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite wetroom. It is kept very clean for her.
Number one asset at
Southmoor is the staff, who are caring, friendly and never impatient. This applies to agency staff also. The laundry is very good.
The food has been excellent from the start and my mum is eating better now than she has for years. Her little whims are well catered for.
In recent times the activities have become much more varied. There was even a birthday party for my mum recently with mocktails, cake and armchair dancing! An added bonus is the new Facebook page, which is good for me living 200 miles away being able to see what my mum is up to.
There are ongoing improvements which should enhance the day to day living of those who live here.

Our hopes were high that we could begin to stop worrying about mum/grandma once she was being cared for in a home. Southmoor Lodge sounded promising as the company's mission was to provide the 'highest standards of care'. Unfortunately, this home fell way short of those aspirations.


The home is spacious

and mum/grandma enjoyed a beautiful room. Many of the staff were caring and hard-working, however, despite management denial, they were clearly very stretched. It was on occasions difficult to find care staff at all. Residents would be seeking aid for those that couldn't mobilise themselves.


We felt the needs of mum/grandma could not be met by the home. It was both sad and concerning that despite frequent requests, a lady so particular about her personal hygiene and who was prone to infections, went weeks without a bath or shower.


We felt like we were constantly chasing up management over concerns, were frequently fobbed off and overall left disappointed by Southmoor Lodge.


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

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for your comments. I’m sorry that you and your family feel disappointed in South Moor Lodge, we work hard to make sure all residents and their family have a positive experience with us and on this occasion, we fell short of those standards. During the time your mother/grandmother was with us we experienced a sudden increase in occupancy leading up to Christmas, which did temporarily put a lot of strain on our staff despite increased staffing levels. We will avoid a similar situation in the future and make sure any new residents join us gradually.


Our Managing Director would like to have a conversation with you to get more detailed feedback about the issue’s your family had at South Moor Lodge and how we can do better in future, would it be possible for you to get in touch and provide your contact details so he can give you a call (info@jasminehealthcare.co.uk) Again please accept my apologies and our assurance we have taken action on the points highlighted in your review.

My wife has been in South Moor Lodge for 6 years. In all that time I've never been given any reason to make a complaint. This to me is a good sign that staff are very caring towards the patients.

Relative with Alzheimer in their 90's entered South Moor Lodge. Overall, all aspects of home and care is very good. Management supportive, especially the assistant manager who supported the family with social services assessment - very very good.
Housekeeper excellent in their duties and in their cheery
upbeat personality as was the cleaner, working under the housekeeper.
Very supportive team - ready to listen and take on board any concerns.

I am highly delighted with all aspects of care my friend has received. The staff are very friendly and eager to help whenever the need arises. It would be nice to have heating in the shower room but that is a small 'niggle'. I would be quite happy to live here myself if the need arose!

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.
