Our mum was lucky enough to come to Lavender Lodge after being elsewhere. All I can say is what a transformation in our mum since she arrived. The love, care and understanding shown to not just our mum but the family too. Mum is so happy to see her now mixing with others and being able to push her in
a wheelchair without her screaming. As soon as you walk in, you just feel the warmth and love immediately. A fantastic manager and carer.

Reply from Samantha Bell, Home Manager at Lavender Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased that your loved one has settled at Lavender Lodge following the move from elsewhere. We are a family and as such remain passionate about the care we deliver. Thank you again for your positive feedback.

Lavender Lodge is a truly outstanding care home. My aunt has been a resident for six months now and I can only find positive comments to make. The staff are professional and highly skilled with a warm and caring manner. They have gone out of their way to ensure my aunt has all her needs met and has
settled in to her new life and home. Whenever I visit I meet friendly, smiling, courteous people and the food is amazing. Five stars all-round. Thank you Lavender Lodge. We appreciate all you do.

My mother was living with me when she, unfortunately, had a stroke and I could not hoist and care for her on my own anymore so reluctantly after caring for her for years Mum had to go into a home. We chose Lavender Lodge and even though I never wanted her to go into a home after 8 months she is settling
down now which is a big relief. All of the staff are wonderful from the manager, carers, chefs, laundry and cleaners. They all do a wonderful job so thank you to all.

Dad needed to go into a care home urgently which was sad and stressful at the time. However, Lavender Lodge and the team made everything as easy as possible with so much care and consideration for all of us. We have been so pleased with everything and Dad is settled and well cared for.

I have utmost gratitude to all in Lavender Lodge Care Home for the care and support given to my mother as she makes her journey through later life. The compasion, love and dignity in care is outstanding.
It's been hard handing over her care to people outside of family however in the recent months the
staff and management have become part of our extended family. Thank you so very much.

Lavender Lodge has been excellent, from the first time we met the Deputy Manager when looking for a care home for our mother. Through the assessment of her needs and support with welcoming her into a new environment, the staff have always been very supportive to both my mum and family. The ongoing care
cannot be faulted and all the staff are friendly and approachable.

The first thing I have to say is that 99% of the staff are marvellous. The one lift has broken down on several occasions and we are told there is going to be a new one - but when? It now cannot be used with people in it and both staff and residents are suffering from having to use the stairs. It is
an old building and really needs replacing or serious updating. The staff do a wonderful job and work hard with what they have. The meals are very good to really good.

Reply from Amanda Clark, Interim Home Manager at Lavender Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us, and we are so glad that you are happy with the care being delivered to your wife. Our team really do work hard to look after our residents – from care to housekeeping to the chef and his team - and they will be delighted with your comments.


As you mention, Lavender Lodge is an older building and, for the ongoing safety of all, our lift is temporarily out of routine service. We acknowledge the potential impacts this could have on residents, relatives and staff at the home, and we have contingency plans in place to minimise these. Avery Healthcare have committed to having the lift replaced in the next few weeks and we are liaising with the manufacturer and fitters to have this work completed as early as is possible. As soon as we have confirmed dates for the work to begin, we will write to everyone again to let them know. We thank you for your patience – please feel free to drop in and speak to the Home Manager in the meantime.

My late brother had been a resident at Lavender Lodge for some considerable years. He was treated with respect and kindness. The staff have been wonderful in his care. This home is the opposite of the dreadful stories you read about in the newspapers. Before Covid struck, he was taken out for various
trips and excursions. I and my sister could not have asked for a better home for him. He was happy and well looked after. We will miss seeing the staff.

Reply from Beverley Nurse, Home Admin at Lavender Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for taking the time to review Lavender Lodge Care Home. It was a great pleasure to have your brother living here at Lavender Lodge. All the staff became friends with your brother and yourselves over the years, and the staff were saddened by your loss. We will miss him and would like to thank you for all the thoughtful kind gifts you have given to us over the years. Best Wishes.

My sister and I booked a visit to see our dad for his birthday. We were welcomed by a lovely new Administrator, who carried out all the required covid checks. We were shown to an area to have a private birthday celebration with our dad. An afternoon tea had been kindly arranged by the staff, with tea
and a birthday cake personalised for my dad and balloons and birthday banners. Various staff were very helpful and attentive and we appreciated the effort put in. Whilst we were there, an activities person was entertaining the residents dedicated to St Andrews Day, which was lovely to see and hear as our family including my dad, are Scottish. This was a very enjoyable experience and the new decor is very warm and inviting especially with the Christmas decorations.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Lavender Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.877 for Lavender Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 292 Ratings = 4.877

  • 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 Lavender Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 25 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
