My son was admitted last year with progressive multiple sclerosis. The manager could not have been more welcoming and understanding. The staff are caring and thoughtful and always helpful. When my son was suddenly very ill, everyone was exceptionally supportive.
Now that visiting and activities have
resumed I am confident that he will feel less isolated.

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

Thank you for your kind review. I am truly glad that we are able to provide a wonderful/supportive home for him, its a pleasure looking after him.

On the occasion of my aunt's 90th birthday, I checked with the Cheverton Lodge that what I was sending could be received in Covid-19 times. I was assured that it would be and that the home would take care of a cake for my aunt. I also asked if I could connect via skype to take part in the celebrations.
Again, this was made very easy with contact details and a time sent through.
On my aunt's birthday, the skype call was answered promptly and the tablet was taken to my aunt's room so I and my mother (aunt's sister) could see her and chat with her. Carer's then brought in a cake complete with candles and we heard the lovely way the carers were talking to my aunt and celebrating with 'the birthday girl'. Whilst we couldn't be there we hope it broke up my aunt's day a bit and we felt both reassured of her care and grateful to have been able to take part in the celebration.

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

Hope you are having a good day, we are too, the sun is shining today, and the care home is bright and cheerful; everyone is well today. So glad that we were able to make your aunts 90th birthday a special one despite the constraints of Covid19. Happy to say that we now have indoor visiting, and looking forward to your visit soon.

An outstanding feature which I was pleased to observe was that the staff at Cheverton Lodge treated the residents, regardless of their condition, their physical or mental capacity, with dignity and respect. In addition, I felt that I and my sister-in-law's other relatives were made to feel welcome,
and most of the time we were consulted in relation to any issues or any proposed changes to her care. The premises are welcoming, well maintained and clean. My few samples of the food suggest that residents could enjoy well-cooked meals and delicious cakes. We were particularly pleased when very soon after it became too cold for outdoor visits, Cheverton created perfect indoor visiting arrangements that met the full lockdown safe-distance requirements, enabling both the resident and the visitor to be comfortable and able to communicate easily and without the need for face masks. Our last visits were among our very best.

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

Thank you so much for your kind and generous review, we continue to thrive to be the very best in care and support for our residents, relatives and staff. Reviews are important as it provides excellent guidelines for those considering coming into care, as well as for us to be aware of improvements that we may need to make.

My mum was admitted to Cheverton Lodge at the beginning of August 2020 (in the midst of the Covid19). Right from the initial phone call with the manager, through her admission and the 3.5 months that my mum spent at Cheverton before she passed away recently, the team at Cheverton provided me with a
comforting reassurance that my mum was well taken care of, especially when I was not able to see her during the lockdown. The team at Cheverton treated her with respect and kindness. The staff are always pleasant and they go about caring for their elderly residents with warm hearts and great big smiles. The home is well managed, maintained and has a lovely homely decor and atmosphere, I would highly recommend Cheverton Lodge.

When my mum entered she was underweight and quite unwell. We did not expect her to live that long especially as her appetite was so poor. That was nearly four years ago and she is thriving at Cheverton Lodge. I knew that she was being well looked after even though I couldn’t see her during the first
lockdown which gave great peace of mind.

My experience of the home is good. Facilities need complete change/alteration in some areas. Food is definitely a subject for improvement. Medical problems are dealt with efficiently. I am self-sufficient on the whole, but I am confident that should my needs change there would be no problems in any
area.

Highly recommend Cheverton Lodge. My husband has been a resident since Oct 2019. They provide excellent care through dedicated staff and have shown great patience, understanding and hard work when getting to know my husband with his various and complicated conditions. I feel very fortunate to have found

Cheverton Lodge has looked after my nan for over 15 years. She loved being here. All the staff old and new treated her like family. One of their own. My family and I will be entirely grateful for everything you did for her until the day she passed. Simply thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We were extremely happy and grateful for the loving care and attention to detail that my uncle has been given over the last few years. Everyone from management to all the staff Have been wonderful. He could not have been better looked after.
When you walk into the building, the first thing that strikes
you is the cleanliness and pleasant environment. We really cannot thank everyone enough for making my uncle feel like he had another family.

I cannot describe how highly I feel about this care home and the management and all the people who are doing an excellent job of carding for loved ones. They are very kind and efficient and provide very good care of my son. I can’t thank them all enough for their kindness and care, it really means a
lot that I know he is well-loved and looked after when I’m unable to visit.

I would recommend Cheverton Lodge to family and friends. It is well run and has very good staff. The manager and his senior staff show very good leadership. Staff are valued and this shows by the way they treat the residents. The staff provide very good care for all residents including my father who
needs a lot of care and patience. The home is presently handling the Coronavirus pandemic very well. The home like the rest of the care Group had a plan in place long before the government lockdown. The home is following government advice and procedure. So far, none of Cheverton Lodge's residents or staff has become ill and hopefully, it will remain this way. Relatives of residents are able to keep in touch via video calls which Cheverton Lodge quickly set up. Relatives can also telephone their love ones. At this present time, I think the home is doing all it can to bring itself safely through this pandemic.

I’m writing this review because I’m extremely happy with Cheverton Lodge. I have not been able to visit my relative for a good few weeks now, because of this virus, and it’s hard when you really don’t know what’s going on within the home when you don’t attend, but I have got to say I phone on a regular
basis and always the staff are helpful and willing to talk even though they are extremely busy at this time.
I am given updates on my relative and told to ring as and when I want, I have even spoken on the phone to her and video link, always getting emails and letters to keep us informed. Thank you so much for the care that is ongoing, stay safe and thank you once again.

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.
