My mum came to Kings Lodge for end of life care from hospital and unfortunately, she was only with them for 15 days as she was very unwell. I had a choice of several homes to send her to but had a lovely feeling about Kings Lodge from the very first visit. I was not disappointed.
My husband and I
spent long periods of time with mum and I was so impressed with every member of staff we encountered. They were always attentive and professional when administering care but also showed such patience, care and compassion to mum at all times, especially in her last days. Even indirect staff including household, admin, catering were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was always very cheerful and positive. Not only did the staff support mum but they really made us feel included in decisions about her care and took time to explain everything and offer us support during such a difficult time.
I cannot praise the team enough, would recommend them without reservation.

Whenever we visit Kings Lodge, we’re always made very welcome the staff are all really kind and helpful. At Christmas, myself and my husband visited my father-in-law with our 3 children and the staff were fabulous, making sure we were all happy with drinks and space in a family room for quality time
together, to relax and play games. We all had a lovely time, we always receive a warm welcome. The home always provides lots of activities for the residents and don’t think my father-in-law could be anywhere better.

My brother-in-law was not coping with everyday life at home. He has been at Kings Lodge for approximately 1 year and the improvement in his mental state/happiness is remarkable. The staff at Kings Lodge understand his needs and treat him as an individual. His surroundings are light and airy, he enjoys
the garden and is now taking part (with encouragement from the staff) in the varied activities on offer. Visitors are always made very welcome.

I am pleased to say that the service provided by Kings Lodge is excellent. As a family who are spread across the country from Scotland to East Anglia we need to know that mum is receiving the best care that her condition warrants. I don't visit very often but am confident that mum's care meets all her
current needs and that if anything was to change I would be advised accordingly. When I do visit the staff are always available for a chat and to discuss mum. Mum's room is always clean and tidy and the overall atmosphere is relaxed.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

This is a care home of 72 beds on 3 floors.
We have an excellent activities team of four so there is no need to get bored.
This team is based in our 'pub' room where drinks, hot and cold, are available when the room is staffed.
Each floor has a game afternoon once a week with all the usual tabletop
games.
I have been here for 15 months.
I would recommend a large home like this over small homes where I have had respite care in the past.
I have the advantage of an electric wheelchair.

Very happy with the care Dad receives at King's Lodge and so pleased he is happy and settled too.
Well cared for by staff and we have the peace of mind he is safe and looked after.
Staff always on hand when he needs something but he can enjoy his own company and his TV in his room as much as he likes.
Visitors
(including dog) always made welcome.
Staff keep the family well informed re his well being.

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.
