My mother-in-law moved into Appleton Lodge in November 2019 and has settled in really well. Her room is very spacious and she has her own bathroom and toilet. She can watch TV in her own room or go into the lounge so she has the best of both worlds. The staff and manager are amazing people they go above
and beyond. During the lockdown, I've had no worries at all. The best thing about this place is the staff are very consistent and pleasant. Excellent, can't fault it.

I stayed at Appleton Lodge whilst waiting for a new flat and really enjoyed my time there. The staff were all lovely and you could have a good laugh with them. The food was good in the majority. I had a nice view of the garden and was always invited to join in with activities but I like my own space.
I liked talking to the girls and would come back again if I could.

My Nana has been at Appleton Lodge for a few years since breaking her hip. The care staff are excellent and always go the extra mile to make Nana feel comfortable and cared for. Since lockdown, I have only been able to do window visits but the staff have always put my mind at ease and I have never had
to worry about my Nana's safety, dignity or health. Thank you.

Both the day and night staff are excellent and I am always treated with respect and dignity. Thank you.
In these times of Covid 19, some thought needs to be given to visiting in the winter to ensure that visits continue even in bad weather.
My only concern is that since arriving at Appleton Lodge
I have not been able to see any physiotherapists to help aid my recovery from a stroke.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Appleton Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your review, we welcome all feedback as this helps us to make improvements where required. We continue to work alongside Government guidance with Public Health England and are currently procuring facilities to be enable indoor visiting during the winter months when the local lockdown for Stockport is lifted. We appreciate this is a difficult time and we will continue to keep residents and relatives updated with the progress of this in the upcoming weeks. Unfortunately the physiotherapists have been unable to attend the home during lockdown and will resume their visits once the lockdown is lifted. I will liaise with the physiotherapy team locally to see if there are any virtual visits they can undertake to aid your recovery. Thank you again for your feedback; we are so glad you are happy at Appleton Lodge - I will pass your positive feedback and thanks to the care team.

The care I have received and seen delivered here has been caring, thoughtful, sensitive and proficient. It is also to be noted that it has also been client-centred and sympathetic. I have been made to feel expertly cared for and very comfortable whilst a resident here.
I would be very willing for any
family member or friend to come here, should the need arise.

My father has been a resident at Appleton Lodge for approximately 6 months and since he has been there I have had no reservations, worries or concerns whatsoever. The whole team at Appleton are professional, caring and go above and beyond to make residents feel like a part of the family. The home
is clean, residents are all very well cared for and family members are made very welcome at all times. The manageress and her deputy are very approachable and will accommodate any requests you have.

After much deliberation, we decided that Appleton Lodge was the right place for my mother-in-law and how right we were. From management down to maintenance staff, the service is excellent. Whilst it took her a while to settle, she was treated with respect and dignity from her first day. Appleton Lodge
(and its staff) deserve every praise.

My dad has been residing in Appleton Lodge since Sept 2019. He is well looked after and the staff have been on the ball with any worries we may have raised. We feel confident when we leave him that he is in good safe hands and the staff are mainly all lovely, kind and caring. My dad has a number
of issues and is most likely one of their more difficult cases, he isn't a particularly social man, never has been but they do try their best to encourage him to join in with things. We recently attended one of the Christmas parties where they had a singer on and it was lovely, it was so nice to see my dad singing and clapping along. Well done to all the staff who are really hardworking and sociable.

My husband is a resident at Appleton Lodge and I am full of praise for the management and carers. They are so caring and look after my husband so well. He has so many medical problems and they make us feel at home. The food is excellent and I say compliments to the chef and kitchen staff, I feel I can
go home at night and am confident my husband is being well looked after.

Appleton Lodge is spotlessly clean. All the staff work hard but have time to attend to the residents' needs, always with a smile.
The food is all home cooked, fresh and tasty.
The self-contained rooms are en-suite, light and clean.
An outstanding home from home and I feel safe in the knowledge my
mum-in-law is cared for by professionals. Five stars all around.

Appleton Lodge Care Home has changed my mother's life for the better - the change in her is immense compared to living on her own and mother is now as bright as a button. The home is clean, tidy and good food. The staff are all friendly and mum loves the banter with the staff. The difference in her

I viewed two care homes before Appleton Lodge. Residents were sitting in silence doing nothing. Both homes needed refurbishing.
Colour schemes were dismal. I found both extremely upsetting. Staff at each were satisfactory.
Appleton Lodge was very different. Bright, welcoming, music playing, residents
active and aware. Staff committed to providing a good service to all - residents, visitors and each other.

I live some distance away and so cannot visit as much as I would like, but when I do I arrive unannounced. I always find the home clean, tidy, smelling pleasant. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. But most importantly my mother is always well presented with clean clothes, hair combed and comfortable.
I always leave confident that my mother is in good hands and well cared for. All the residents seem very contented. I am happy that my mum is in such a good home.

My mother has been living at Appleton Lodge for two years. During this time her needs have changed but have been fully met by the management and staff without any problems. My mother and our family are very pleased with her care and feel fortunate that she is in such a safe and caring environment. The
staff are wonderful with my mother, their medical and personal care for her are excellent, they treat her with respect but are cheerful, friendly and we feel like part of a big family. The facilities at the home are modern and clean. The atmosphere they have created is very welcoming and inclusive; this applies to all residents, family and friends who come to visit.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Appleton Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.783 for Appleton Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.783

  • 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 Appleton Lodge Care Home is based on 15 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 15 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.
