Welcome to Rose Lodge.

Rose Lodge is a purpose-built care home built in 2003 and then extended in 2004 to incorporate its specialised Dementia unit. Located in Cobblers Lane the home is located less than 2 miles from Newton Aycliffe Town Centre with 7 Sapphire bus stop on Burnhill Way and number 17 bus on Burn Lane.

The home is divided into four units, spread over two floors with the Lincoln and Hamilton suites housing 12 rooms for residential dementia residents and the main building caters for residential clients. All units have their own lounge and dining room for residents to relax and enjoy the delicious food cooked onsite in the homes kitchen.

There is a coffee shop in the main building with coffee corner and the snug in Lincoln and Hamilton units with complementary tea and coffee available for visitors to the home.

All bedrooms are provided fully furnished with en suite facilities and shared bathrooms and shower rooms with the option of personalising your own room with furniture from home and accessories should this be needed.

Rose Lodge's full-time activities coordinator provides residents with an extensive programme of activities, entertainment and events as well as trips out of the home to the local PCP groups. Its central location, regular coffee mornings and luncheon clubs, and charity fundraising events mean the home enjoys strong community links.

They have a 5-star award in Food Hygiene at the home and believe food is a huge aspect of their care at Rose Lodge and residents enjoy a cooked breakfast, choice of lunch and dinner meals, supper and hospitality trolley with drinks and cakes throughout the day.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.300)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.300) out of 10 for Rose Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.952 for Rose Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.952

  • 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 4.348 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rose Lodge Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.648

  • 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.
