My father received nursing care and the nurses and carers were very conscientious, hardworking and friendly.
It was also very easy to speak to the manager if I had any concerns.

Kings Lodge is a beautiful home, it's clean and fresh smelling which is most important. The staff are always polite and I'm always greeted with a smile.
All the care team have been wonderful and have a great knowledge of their job. The activity team are great there is always something for the residents
to do, whether it be a beer in the garden or a game of wheelchair basketball! The manager's door was always open for anything we needed, which made us feel very at ease.
Overall a great hard working team, happy content residents and brilliant value for money. Highly recommended!

Although my mother was only a resident at Kings Lodge for a short time, I was extremely pleased with the attentive care and compassion the staff provided. The home is very well organised and all staff (admin and nursing) were very friendly and helpful at all times. They also looked after our family,
in particular, my elderly father, during his extended visits to see my mother.

My dad came in for respite care at Kings Lodge, he was in for a month. Unfortunately my dad passed away on 7th March at Kings Lodge. The care I saw your employees giving my dad was outstanding (they really did care for him as if he was their own).
I cannot thank them enough. Please pass on our thanks
to the staff.

We have found the care provided by King's Lodge to be of a very high standard. All the nurses and staff have been honest, approachable, friendly and very caring. Communication is good and my Mother despite her condition, is content and happy in her own way.

- Very impressed with the kindness of staff and welcome to relatives.
- The cleanliness of rooms and facilities is a key factor in the choice of home.
- Good communication following any medical concerns.
- On hand, medical expertise, mainly good but calls to outside services are immediate if required.
-
Opportunities to meet staff and managers.
- Making birthday's special.


The induction on the first day of arrival could have been more thorough in terms of explaining procedures.

The manager was very thorough in his admission appraisal and Management Plan. Translating the Management Plan had its initial problems but speaking to the management I found them very approachable. The nursing care needed for my mother has been diligently followed and with care even though it is problematic
both for the staff concerned and my mother. They have catered for the eating preferences of my mother. The rooms are large, clean and modern, which helps not only for nursing care but when my bed-bound mother has a small group of family visitors. When I visit my mother I have always been welcomed and asked how I am. In the circumstance, I find this considerate. I am very thankful and appreciative for what they are doing.

My husband has been living in Kings Lodge for nearly a year and I visit him almost every day. During my visits I see members of staff providing care in a thoughtful, considerate manner. On the whole, maintenance members of staff act promptly, the cleaning team are always in evidence and respond immediately
to any spillages, the activities team take a happy, hands-on approach and the carers do their utmost to make sure the residents are comfortable and happy. The receptionist always has a pleasant greeting on arrival as does the manager who appears to have earned the respect of the staff. The nursing staff are on hand to discuss medical problems that arise and to alleviate any concerns. On a personal note, some days are not as good as others but I know I can approach any member of staff for support at these times.

The Home looked after both of my parents. My dad was ill when he went to the Home and the staff were so gentle and caring I feel they helped him die with dignity.
After dads death they looked after Mum I asked her if she wanted to move and got the reply "you dare and i'll disown you". Mum loved the
home and all of the care staff
who were always gentle, kind and spent time with her when I couldn't get there. They always phoned if any problems with her health came up and kept me up to date with what was happening

My Mother was in Kings Lodge for about 14 months and suffered from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. She had a very pleasant room. It is a nice spacious home with plenty of natural light and easy for access. I have no complaints as the staff work very hard despite working such long hours, in difficult circumstances
and for low pay. Mum was relatively easy for staff to look after as her mental health went inwards and she was placid in nature. However, sadly her physical and mental health deteriorated very quickly. In her last few months she was not able to sit so permanently in bed and she could not eat or drink for herself and needed her food to be pureed. Mum needed 24/7 nursing care in order to keep her comfortable and to give her a reasonable quality of life. Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep on the 17th November 2015. The Manager is doing a great job and doing all the right things, he has a very challenging job but I am very grateful for the hard work.

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.
