The staff have looked after my dad until he died in August 2017. When it came to my mum having dementia and we could no longer look after her at home, I knew the only place I would put mum was Valley Lodge. They have looked after her for the last 16 months until she passed away in April 2019. I cannot
recommend this care home enough, the first thing that hits you is the smell - there isn’t one! I have been in quite a few and this is the only place that doesn’t have the ‘care home smell’.
The staff are kind, attentive, caring, they treat all the residents with respect and dignity. Thanks to everyone you are doing a great job.

First impressions were good, but my dad deteriorated very quickly. Although he was talking in riddles, he managed to ask to get him out of there and lost so much weight. There didn't seem enough staff to manage residents, he was always wet through and needed changing, was scared and very subdued, not
the strong fireman we once knew. He got urine infections and generally wasn't happy. We were told he was a danger to himself and other residents! My dad was the most gentle man. We saw one activity in the time he was there, the meal at lunch was small, just a sandwich for dinner with a small dessert, not enough for a grown man, we started taking food in for him to fill him up. He was also sent to hospital with no carer. The hospital did call the home to ask why an old man with dementia was sent there. He was then kept at the hospital elderly care facility for months after this, that was when I went and emptied his room at Valley Lodge and moved him to another home. Overall not good.

The care home provided excellent care, love and attention to my Aunty during her 12 month stay. They attended to her every need, showing patience and compassion alongside a much needed sense of humour. At no time did I have any concerns surrounding her care.

I can't praise the staff at Valley Lodge highly enough. My mother had been a resident in the home until very recently and I found all the staff to be extremely caring and compassionate. All the staff actively promote a family atmosphere which makes visiting the home such a lovely experience. All
the rooms are nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Mum was able to stay at Valley Lodge during her last days of life and I will always be grateful to the staff for the way she was treated with compassion and dignity during that time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Valley Lodge Residential/Nursing EMH Home 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.866 for Valley Lodge Residential/Nursing EMH Home is calculated as follows: ( (262 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.866

  • 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 Valley Lodge Residential/Nursing EMH Home is based on 26 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
