My husband spent three weeks at Dovecote Lodge, while recovering from a hip fracture operation. I was visiting him most days. Each time I was impressed with the atmosphere at the Lodge. The staff were very friendly both to patients and myself, nothing was too much trouble. The place is run by a professional
team.
It was tidy and clean.
And it looked festive at his time of the year.
On behalf of my husband and myself, I wish those lovely people a very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year.

Dad was discharged from a long stay in hospital. He was taken to Dovecote for a few days while carers were put in place for his return home. Dad was so happy with his stay and couldn't praise staff enough. The care was 100% and the food delicious, the carers were amazing. He's now home feeling a lot
happier, thanks to the staff you are all angels and very much appreciated. Thank you.

My 90 yr old mum, left hospital and was transferred to Dovecote Lodge. At the time I never thought we would get her home again she was so frail and unwell. After 14 days isolation due to covid I have today been able to see her. The difference in her health and well-being is almost unrecognisable, she
is just about back to her normal self. The care and attention she has received from the wonderful staff is second to none and is a huge contributing factor to how well she is doing. We are looking at getting her back into her own home within the next few days and she is over the moon about this.
There aren't enough words to express our thanks and gratitude to all the wonderful staff who have cared for her. Nurses, carers, domestic staff and the people who have cooked her lovely meals you are all heroes, and do an amazing job, even in these difficult times. Sending love to you all. Stay safe, and THANK YOU.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.846) out of 10 for Dovecote 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 4.667 for Dovecote Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (8 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 3.179 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dovecote Lodge is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.179

  • 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.
