My husband has been in the home for 9 months now and his and our family experience has been good. Our experience has been limited to our visits, but we have had a few grumbles from my husband, which have diminished with time. The care and kindness of the staff has been excellent. Also the occupational
therapy team, who show a great deal of patience and commitment. The medical side of care has been promptly dealt with there whenever needed. Altogether, both my husband, myself and the family are very satisfied.

My brother's care team are keen to improve his life experience. They listen to concerns and make his care plan better to suit his ever-changing needs. More care homes should work in this was to help residents to live, not just to be cared for but to continue experiences that make them happy every day.

As my husband has only been a resident for two weeks it is difficult to write a review. First impressions are very good and all the staff are very helpful. I also like the security of the home.

My family are very impressed with the standard of cleanliness and equipment in my husbands room. The Christmas party was excellent and he was at his happiest with all the celebrations. At other times, he has little to occupy himself with while on his own but this can be due to him sleeping during the
day and his inability to remember what has been going on. He thoroughly enjoys fresh air and any mini-bus trips.

I have visited Kings Lodge at various times during my husband's stay in the home and at no time have I seen less than the wonderful care they all receive. The food is highly thought out and excellent. The staff have a very difficult job and work hard to look after the patients.

My relative has been in Kings Lodge for some time. Now I am grateful for the care that he has received and is still having, healthwise, physically and mentally by all the staff, not only nursing staff but all the other staff in the building who go about their daily business with a friendly smile.
Not
only has he been looked after medically but has been stimulated mentally by entertainments and outings organised by staff, employed solely for the reason of arranging concerts, visits from various speakers and even animals. There is also a bar!
What more could one ask for.

I did recommend the home to a dear friend, who has since sadly died. Kings Lodge caring staff were lovely to him as they are to my mother, who has been here for four years now. Staff are lovely. Food choices are excellent, altogether a wonderful home.

Unfortunately, my mother did not spend long at Kings Lodge but the care she received during the few weeks she was there was exceptional. Every member of staff was so kind and friendly.
There was such great effort to care for my mother and keep her comfortable until she passed away.
I cannot speak

My mother-in-law spent her final weeks at Kings Lodge being looked after and cared for so compassionately by the excellent staff.
Everyone was so friendly and showed total professionalism. The nursing home had such a "caring feel" which made our visits so pleasant even under sad circumstances. A fabulous
team from the manager, nursing staff and support staff which is a tremendous credit to LRH-homes.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Kings Lodge 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.913 for Kings Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.913

  • 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 Kings Lodge is based on 21 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
