Absolutely amazing place, always go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome.
The amount of weight that has been lifted off my shoulders knowing my dad is safe because of these amazing people is unreal.
Have also organised dad's 66th birthday in the beautiful lounge in the care home
and they have organised it all.
My only job was the invite.
Amazing place, highly recommend.

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

Thank you so much for your lovely review, it's a pleasure to work with your father and he is a much-loved resident here. I'm so glad his birthday was such a success.

Since my Husband has been at Corrina he has improved his mobility and mental awareness. The staff are all so caring and never pass by without saying hello. The activity team are fantastic and offer a wide range of activities and will be open to suggestions. The carers are always happy to help you
and the Manager has an open door policy and is happy to listen and act where necessary. Reception and finance are always friendly and helpful. Laundry, cleaners and maintenance are always on hand and do a great job.
The lounge, dining room and cinema room are decorated in a modern and welcoming way. The bedrooms are not large and some need a bit of modernisation which I believe is being dealt with when able but are comfortable and adequate. My Husband is happy and content and I always enjoy my time visiting him and chatting with everyone. It is a home from home and cannot recommend it highly enough.

My sister stayed at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home for 6 weeks. During this time she was treated with the utmost care by very caring staff and management. I cannot recommend Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home highly enough if my sister is able to return there. I would be extremely happy for her
to do so.

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

Thank you so much for your kind words. We sincerely hope your sister is doing well and would love to see you both in the future. Warmest regards, Charles

Found all the staff very helpful and pleasant. I had a few problems with lack of grab rails, used to them at home. Good choice of menu and gained weight. Have a shower cubical at home that I find easier to use and had some difficulty turning the taps on. A good, varied selection of activities and discussions.
Large print books would, I think, be helpful.

My mother has dementia and was struggling with loneliness. We moved her to Corrina Lodge for a respite week which we are looking to extend. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly. It is clean and feels luxurious and the food is amazing. After a few days, I can already see a big
difference in Mum, she is much happier, is getting involved in the activities as well as making new friends.

The activity staff at this care home are amazing. The key worker knows my father really well and makes a point of visiting him regularly and updating me whenever she sees me (he doesn't get out of bed). Staff on the front desk are always welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, there have been lots of
changes of manager, care staff and nurses - they don't always seem to stay for long. Staff would benefit from training in managing residents with dementia. AAlthough it is not a dementia care home some residents do develop this condition while there.

My mother has been at Corrina Lodge for eighteen months and during that time has experienced the nursing care which has been excellent. As her condition has improved she is now living as a resident and quite independent in many ways although still needs help now and again.
I would like to see separate
activities and meals for those with all their mental faculties if that were at all possible.

My father arrived at Corrina Lodge from hospital. He was instantly made to feel welcome by each and every member of staff. The difference in his health and wellbeing was apparent within days. He has resumed eating and is so much better.
The staff have been so helpful and cannot do enough for you. It's
like staying in a five-star hotel.
My father has Parkinson's and it's essential he gets his medicine on time. This is now done religiously ( something that did not happen in hospital). Well done and keep up the excellent work.

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

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are thrilled to have your father with us and as always, should you require anything at all, just ask our staff or contact me anytime.

I came to Corrina when my wife (who joined me later) was in hospital and I was no longer able to look after myself. After much discussion, we decided that two separate rooms close to one another would fulfil our needs. This arrangement has worked out very well. The care I have received has been very
good and the carers are kind and helpful in every way.

My mother was transferred to Corrina Lodge from hosptial to received palliative care.


The care that she received was outstanding.


She was only there for a short time as she deteriorated very quickly but the staff were amazing and made her feel welcome from the moment she arrived. They were also

incredibly supportive to our family when she sadly passed away.

I always enjoy my visits to see my old friend in Corrina Lodge.
I always receive a warm welcome and it is clear to me that they really know him as a person - his personality, his likes and dislikes.
There is a genuine warmth.
I feel he is well cared for.
The staff I have spoken to have always been
so lovely and I have no doubts at all that my friend is in the best place.

As my mother has only been here for a week so far, this is all very new to her and her family. She has settled in quite quickly and has now been able to move to a brand new room.
Staff really charming and helpful, you just have to ask.
I have been having lunch here with her and found the food excellent
quality and a lot of thought has gone into the requirements of the residents, I thoroughly enjoyed my lunches. The staff find time for a little chat and make everyone feel welcome.

My brother was a resident at Corrina Lodge Care Home from January 2002, until his death in February 2017. During those 15 years, he was treated as a member of a loving family. The care was evident at all levels within the home. His funeral was attended by care home staff, including some who had actually
retired.
One could not wish for a more dignified and happy environment from Corrina Lodge.

Some issues with laundry although eventually resolved.
Food very erratic, sometimes cold and sometimes not cooked enough. Seems to have gone downhill since the chef left.
Too many agency staff who do not care enough.
Requests for doctors visits take too long.

Our son is 49 years old. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis over 15 years ago. He requires full time residential care and was moved to Corrina Lodge over 4 years ago in 2012. He has been very well cared for physically, mentally and medically, but as is to be expected his condition has deteriorated.
He can no longer use a self propelled wheelchair, has to be fed and helped to drink through a straw. He enjoys his food and a glass of wine at lunch and supper. He is content with his surroundings and appreciative of carers and medical staff who look after him so well and meet his needs. We are most pleased and grateful for the way he is looked after and for the friendly attitude of management and all the staff at 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.
