My grandmother has been here since March 2017. The staff are always polite and helpful and answer any queries that I might have.


My grandmother's well-being has improved. She is more alert, happy, loves the staff and also the food.


Overall, I am extremely happy with how my grandmother is treated

- always with dignity.

When Mum arrived here following a stroke 18 months ago, I did not expect her to see Christmas but due to the care of dedicated staff, she is now approaching her 2nd Christmas! A big thank you to everyone.

Well managed and good atmosphere. Modern facilities and cheerful and caring staff.


On the downside, the caring staff do not have enough what I call 'arm around the shoulder' time with the residents. To meet my criticism, the staff to resident ratio would have to be increased by at least 30% which

would probably mean that the fees charged would have to be raised to make the enterprise viable.

My father in law was in Kings Lodge for 17months and I feel he was well looked after. The nurses and carers worked very hard to make his stay as comfortable as possible.
Yes, I would recommend this home to others.

My mum spent about 10 months at Kings Lodge. She was treated with care and dignity. My dad and I always felt welcome and spent many hours there with my dear mum. The staff are amazing and made my mums last few months a special time. We spent many hours in the lovely garden.

I feel very relieved to find a kind and efficient nursing home for my husband who has dementia. He has settled into the little community here and is quite happy to return after the family have taken him on an outing. The staff have always been kind and understanding, especially in the early days while
he was settling in.

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.
