Reply from Bethany Gibbons, Marketing Assistant at Birkin Lodge Care & Nursing Home
Thank you very much for the feedback, we feel it is really important to hear the good comments and equally the not as good.
Whilst there has perhaps been an unsettled time in finding strong leadership for the home, the new Manager of Birkin Lodge, is now in post. She is an experienced manager with a track record for improving care home services. She is very passionate about person centred care and in particular activities based upon individuals preferences and individual goals.
The new Manager is committed to working with all stakeholders in the local area and welcomes suggestions for continuous improvement. With an open door policy, she is always available to answer any queries and address any issues. Alternatively, you can contact customercare@brighterkind.com if there is anything you would like to discuss further. Many thanks for your time.

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.215) out of 10 for Birkin Lodge Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.826 for Birkin Lodge Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.826
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 4.389 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Birkin Lodge Care & Nursing Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.789
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.
