Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home gave my mum the most wonderful love and care in the last few months of her life. That care and thoughtfulness was also extended to us. Whenever we walked through the door we were greeted with smiles and warmth from every member of staff. I last visited my mum the day
before she passed away. I had taken some red roses although I don't think she was aware at that point. Mum passed in the early hours of the next day. When my brother went to visit that afternoon to pay his respects Mum's body was peacefully laid out on her bed surrounded by the red roses and the funeral director said when they went to collect her she had a rose in her hand for the journey. A memory I will always have.

Activities staff are first class - Dad is very limited, and they always include him. Very caring staff, but management needs to train new staff in Daf's learning device - understanding impact of his stoke etc. Always doesn't happen when new staff come in.

My granny is 96 and is bedridden now. The care she has received since she has been there is outstanding. The staff are amazing and can't do enough for her. We are so pleased we chose Corrina Lodge for her to spend her resting days.

The staff at Corrina Lodge really do go the extra mile, I visit every day and have consistently witnessed members of staff show genuine compassion and professionalism towards residents. I have found the reception welcoming and covid protocols upheld, which is reassuring. The carers and housekeeping
are constantly milling around and will offer additional assistance should you require it. The nurses will always find the time to answer any questions I have. The manager is committed and knowledgeable, and I have seen him come in even on his day off. The chef is very considerate and makes every effort to cater for mums particular needs, and I appreciate this. My mum is happy at Corrina Lodge, and I have peace of mind knowing she is in a safe and well-managed environment. Thank you so much.

Activities Team organised a really pleasant walk outing for my sister and other residents this week. Great to be able to join in and help with pushing wheelchairs.
I have known Corrina Lodge for more than 6 years since my mother and sister first moved in. I can honestly say I have always found the
staff to be very friendly and helpful to residents and relatives alike.

After frustration caused by Covid restrictions on visits, I have been pleased to stay for 3 weeks of respite, in order to spend more quality time with my wife at Corrina Lodge. There, I saw the empathy and support given by many nurses and carers. Sadly, whilst there I have heard of the death of my younger
sister and I was touched by the personal concern staff showed me too. Sharing meals showed that my wife, even at 90, slowly feeds herself or has help from a kind carer. The food was great. Sitting in the garden we could hear laughter as the activities team cheered up those confined to their rooms. How pleasing to hear staff tell me how much they enjoy their work. They deserve a pay rise, I'm sure - as well as grateful appreciation from us all.

Existing residents seemed happy there. Admission and welcome were friendly and professional from the very start with all staff making a special effort to greet and deal with both residents and relatives in a warm and generous way.
Staff were always on hand to ensure that appropriate care was provided
and the residents' needs were met. Food and facilities were of a high standard and the whole environment had a homey feel to it, and the activities laid on were many and varied.

Every member of staff were helpful, polite, willing, warm, friendly and efficient. The premises were always clean, our room was always clean and aired. The staff were always busy attending to residents. (There was no idle chatter). Every carer was focused, serious and at the same time sensitive to vulnerable
residents. With time to smile and get to know residents personally. Mainly kindness stood out.

As you would expect, some staff are there to do a job and earn a wage, but there are others who are clearly invested in the well being of the residents. I was lucky enough to join a group on an outing (the first since lockdown) watching the way that residents were treated was wonderful, and the staff
were clearly thrilled at seeing my father laughing and happy. It's a memory I will cherish.

Reply from Sue Stroud, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

Good Afternoon, Debbie, our home manager is currently on training and then straight into annual leave. I am the Customer Relationship Manager here at Corrina Lodge. Thank you for your lovely review. I am so happy you and your wonderful Father enjoyed the outing and you were able to make memories. Are you talking about our visit to Camberley bowls club? I know your Father really enjoyed that outing. We now have an open invite to return and are hoping to make it a regular outing.
Kind regards.

Dad is doing so much better since his move to Corrina Lodge. He has a wonderful relationship with the staff, who treat him with kindness and respect. We've been so worried about him before his acceptance to the home. Now we can be confident and happy that he is well cared for. Thank you Corrina Lodge

My father has been a resident at Barchester Corrina Lodge for almost three years. He is very happy with his care and so are we. The staff are very caring and friendly, and Dad has really improved since he became a resident at Corrina Lodge. The gardens are large and easy to access in nice weather. We
are very happy with the care Dad receives.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 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 4.688 for Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (485 Excellents x 5) + (116 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 632 Ratings = 4.688

  • 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 Corrina Lodge Care Home is based on 52 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 52 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.
