My mum has been at Barchester Corrina Lodge for five years. We've been very happy with the staff and her care, and are extremely grateful for everything they do.
Corrina Lodge are very understanding, approachable and have been amazing during these challenging times with Covid and lockdowns. We can't
thank them and praise them enough.
Well done and thank you to the management and fantastic team.

Reply from Dumitru Varzaru, General Manager at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much. We really do appreciate you taking time firstly to give us a review and secondly for your praise. We all work really hard to make sure we give five star care to each and every resident. The team have come together throughout this pandemic and I for one couldn't be prouder of them all.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

This is a home that is charging over £8000 per month and when this home was selected claimed that they were proud of their food and the care they provide. The food is worse than a schoolchild would be expected to eat (for example today's supper was baked beans on toast). The rooms are small, like a
student room and the care is underwhelming though there are some notable exceptions. I have had to contact the home to request they wash my relative's hair as they asked me to bring shampoo. They also claimed to offer physio as part of the contract but used the virus as cover to drop it and provide shocking levels of care (leaving in bed until late morning, not putting to bed until late at night etc) and when I challenge this the management has arrogantly ignored my concerns and continue business as usual. The real issue is extremely poor management and a grasping business model when they see residents as revenue streams only. I am still waiting for a response to a complaint I made in January.

My nan lived at Corrina Lodge for just under a year. I was always warmly welcomed by the staff and highly impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities. The vast majority of staff were highly professional and skilled. A few need to ensure professionalism at all times, including corridors. Overall I

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My wife was at Corrina for nearly three years, and during this time we found the care to be excellent and the staff without exception to be kind, friendly and helpful. However, sadly at the end of July 2020, we were told that her needs had increased to the point where we should move her to some other
home that had a dementia unit. This we managed to do on 27th August 2020. One of the consequences of this move was that a four-figure refund was due to me. The paperwork for this was completed promptly and efficiently at Corrina but needed some sort of higher approval. Now, 56 days (8 weeks) after my wife's departure, this refund has still not been paid and I have not been contacted in any way. Why not, and what is going on at the administrative level?

Reply from Sharon Rickman, Activities Coordinator at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

Hello David, Thank you so much for your kind words about Corrina Lodge. We miss seeing your wife so much and were very sad to say goodbye. We, of course, miss you too. We hope that you are staying safe and well and that your wife is settling into her new home. Hopefully, we can all be reunited and catch up properly once circumstances allow. Very best wishes form the Corrina Lodge Community.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I wanted to put in writing our grateful thanks for the care given to my mother-in-law during her three months stay at Corrina Lodge. She was very unwell when she was discharged from hospital. We were not happy with the level of care and support she was given there. Accordingly, it was a great relief
to us to see the extent to which she improved once she came under the care of your nurses. What particularly impressed us was the extent to which your nurses and assistants took the trouble to talk to her in advance and explain to her what they were going to have to do with and for her before setting about their nursing tasks.
The most important factor in her treatment at Corrina Lodge was the interest shown by a particular carer, in getting to know what type of person she was and what she had experienced during the course of her long and very different life. The result was that my mother-in-law became much more settled and accepting of the finality of her life. So would you please pass on our heartfelt thanks to all those members of staff who were involved in her care.

Reply from Charles Sadler, General Manager at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

What a lovely review, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this. We genuinely loved working alongside your mother in law, she was an absolute pleasure to have in the home. She is missed by the staff team and her absence in the home is noted. We were honoured to be able to be with her when she needed us most. So many thanks to you all.

This is a time that no one knows what is going to happen but I do know that my husband and all of the Residents in this nursing home are being looked after because they have the most professional staff ever. Their dedication, care and love for the Residents also for each other and the families is amazing.
The activity team work continuously to entertain and they try so hard to keep everyone safe and happy. They go way beyond to make sure they have a good time. The nursing and care staff are unbelievable, their work is never ending but you never hear how tired they must feel. All of the staff work so efficiently to keep the home going, I cannot thank them all for keeping our loved ones safe. Continued health and care to them all.

Respite care with nursing for my mother was excellent and communication with myself faultless. Empathic, caring staff. Corrina Lodge is small enough to make the home seem like family and large enough to provide the professional care to a high standard that was required for my Mum. At some future point,
if required, Mum and I will happily choose Carrina Lodge again for respite care or permanent care.

My husband died unexpectedly in August 2019 in Corrina Lodge, having lived there for 6 1/2 years since January 2013. He was cared for extremely well and members of staff became like a family to him and to me as his wife. He was encouraged to find his own 'niche' there, caring for the garden and greenhouse.
He enjoyed most of the activities and certainly enjoyed mealtimes! He was supported in continuing his hobby budgie keeping and had three cages in his room. Overall he became content in his home at Corrina Lodge.

Reply from Charles Sadler, General Manager at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

Thank you for such a lovely review, your husband is very much missed here and he was such a central character. I am however extremely pleased to see you still in the home so regularly as you have made so many friends in the time he was here. You are always welcome any time.

We would like to say how amazing Corrina Lodge staff have been towards my father-in-law. He has been a resident for 15 months and prior to admission was given days to live. He has been given fantastic care and without exception, all the staff in the nursing home have contributed to his well being. He
has Parkinson's disease and the most important part of his treatment is receiving his medication as prescribed on time. We joke now how we can set our watches by him receiving his medication and what a huge difference this has made to his condition. He has physically improved due to wonderful diet, all be it has to be liquidised and mentally stimulated by the team. Last week he was in the day room singing along to a ukelele band who came in to sing Christmas carols with the residents. We had not seen him this animated in years.
I wish all nursing homes offered this level of care.
Thank you to the manager, you have been instrumental in the management and care of all the residents.

Reply from Charles Sadler, General Manager at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

What lovely kind words, all residents mean so much to us but your father-in-law, in particular, holds special value to me being the first person I assessed when I started. He is a wonderful man and the relationship he has with all members of his family is a joy to see. It's a genuine pleasure to support him in life and to see him still take so much from it. So glad and such an honour to play a part in his life here at Corrina Lodge. Thank you again.

Caring is the first word I use to describe Corrina Lodge.

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.

Job Title: Residents Chairman

Joined: 2018

Hello, I’m Mark and I have been elected as Chairman of our Residents' Committee. The committee meets every two months and we make lifestyle choices for the home.


I’ve lived at Corrina Lodge since 2017, and I have had so much support with activities that it has engaged my interest in all sorts of ways. My interest in art has resurfaced and I now pursue this hobby actively. I also really enjoy taking photos around the home using my iPad, which get uploaded on to our TV in the reception area and are a great talking point for visitors.


As a spokesperson for our community, I enjoy helping others, welcoming visitors and getting involved with all aspects of life here at the home. I come from a very large family; I am one of nine siblings. My family and friends visit often and have recognised that living at Corrina Lodge has greatly enhanced my life.
