Lifestyles is what all residential homes should aspire to be like. It is a place of warmth, compassion, respect and care, not just to residents but to families too, the manager and staff are full of genuine care. I only wish they had been in existence many years ago when my relative first became ill.
Nothing is too much trouble and the level of professionalism is second to none.

The staff are all really extremely good at listening to you and you always get really good advice that is relevant. They find us ways of mixing in with the community and take me out in the wheelchair if the weather is good.
They're helping me to eat healthily and diet as I'm far too big but in a nice
way.
I really like living here, it's my home. My family are always welcome and can ask the manager anything they like about how I' getting on. She's fantastic.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Lifestyles is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.916 for Lifestyles is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.916

  • 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 Lifestyles is based on 24 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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, which has been reached with 24 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.

Clare Bower

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2006

I am a quirky, unique, vibrant individual, I often have different hair colours and like to dress in a way that shows my bright personality as I like to think expression is impression. I have always naturally been drawn to helping people and chose to take this into my career choice. I gained the required qualifications and become the registered manager of Lifestyles in 2009. I strive with purity and humility to ensure I provide love and care in a holistic person-centred way. I genuinely do feel this is a vocation not simply a job or carer

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2007

Hi, I started at Lifestyles from leaving school (yes it was a long time ago) as I always had an innate tendency to help people, I like to say that helping one person may not change the world but it could change that one person's world. I like to spend my free time out of work with my children, having days at the beach and walks in the woods. I became deputy in 2009 and chose to attend college later in life to access knowledge that would help me to provide an understanding of my work from a different perspective and hopefully help me in providing the best possible care I can. I love to listen to music and have fun, I am often described at work as the "animated life and soul of the party" which I believe makes for relaxed and happy surroundings, of course ensuring all individual's happiness and safety within professional boundaries.
