Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

Whilst there are some genuinely caring members of staff, most are apathetic or worse. The home is almost permanently understaffed to the point that residents have to wait to be taken to the toilet, to have pads changed, or to be fed. They do not have the time to get 'more difficult' residents out of
bed, dress them, or, by the look of it, wash them half the time! Staff turnover recently has been very high, probably due to the abrupt, difficult manager. The standard of food has been variable due to the changes in kitchen staff but is now reasonable. We have had numerous problems with promises that things would be done, but they have not. Activities used to be very good, but the home no longer has an activities coordinator; someone else who left!

Home was closed to visitors in March/April due to illness. Since then my aunt has complained she's not washed every day and when she is, not properly. She wears incontinent pads because she can't get to the toilet! Bed pans are not available.
I have noticed from day one, the lack of staff. Aunt should
be getting the £112 allowance, after nearly a year she's still not receiving it. Yet her fee went up by £80 in April, apart from when my aunt became ill on the 24.6.16. The assistant manager acted quickly and efficiently. The management are very distant.

My mother has only been at Shelburne Lodge for a couple of months - she is now more settled and has made a good friend. My experience is that most of the staff seem very friendly and caring. The food seems of good quality and there seems to be a good standard of cleanliness. There also are some good
activities which she joins in with.

My father is a resident here, and we as a family are thrilled with the level of care and support that he is receiving. He is cared for with dignity and respect and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The rooms are homely and the food is excellent. Overall I wouldn't want my father to be anywhere
else during the last few weeks/months.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.512)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.512) out of 10 for Barchester Shelburne Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 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 22 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 4.512 for Barchester Shelburne Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (24 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.512

  • 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 Shelburne Lodge Care Home is based on 22 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
