My mother has been cared for in Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home now since December 2019, and I can highly praise the level of care and attention given in all this time. A special thank you must be given to the activities coordinator for her commitment to keeping my mother active and happy and
to the care staff who do an amazing job and are always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this care home.

My mum stayed for one month's respite after a knee replacement. She felt looked after and safe. The manager is exceptional and makes time for the residents, extremely approachable, caring and responsive.
Carers and nurses were kind, friendly and treated my mum with respect. Great reception staff physio
was arranged privately via the manager's recommendation, however, in the home itself, there wasn't anyone to support my mum with physical recovery in terms of exercise, overall very good.

Reply from Earl Elliott, GENERAL MANAGER at Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was transferred to Cheverton Lodge Care home following a series of hospitalisations in July 2021. We were at our wit's end trying to find appropriate care for her as her health had deteriorated rapidly. I had already visited this care home which is also a nursing home and had a good feeling
about it. The level of care is exceptional, the staff are all extremely friendly and have a warm yet professional approach with residents. It is probably more suited to frail or disabled older people than to those who would benefit from a wide range of activities. There are strong links to local health provisions and my mother has received the kind of attention she needed and had missed out on during the pandemic and while living in a rural area. I am extremely happy with my choice of care home and would thoroughly recommend it.

Reply from Earl Elliott, General Manager at Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home

Good day, Thank you for reviewing our service. It is important for us to know how we are doing and any areas that we need to improve on. It is also important that others who are looking into care can find information on a service that they can trust.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The manager and his team are very caring and considerate.
My mother has a lot of medical issues and is a complex case. Having a qualified nurse on the floor was a key criteria when we chose the Cheverton Lodge. They did not disappoint.
Everyone was very professional and went over and above to ensure
mums stay was safe. Family is very important and they went out of their way to ensure family visits could take place in a safe environment for all, especially during Covid. This kept mums spirits up and kept her mentally strong. The process for booking visits was also very good.
Special mention goes to the manager and his team. But everyone was so lovely and caring. Thank you so much for all you did during her visit.
We would definitely highly recommend the Cheverton Lodge for anyone considering getting help with the care of a loved one.

Reply from Earl Elliott, GENERAL MANAGER at Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home

Good day,

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.896 for Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (330 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home is based on 31 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 31 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.
