The staff have shown love to my mother-in-law. They have made her feel at home and that they care for her. Mother-in-law loves dogs and was missing having one of her own. The staff have now got a resident dog and he regularly visits the residents and my mother-in-law is thrilled. It has put a light
back in her eyes and it is great to have up-to-date photos of the two of them together. Mother-in-law has received the best nursing care she possibly could have received over this past difficult year of Covid restrictions. It has brought my husband and me tremendous peace of mind to know she is in the best possible place at this time and receiving the best care for all her needs. Thank you with all of our hearts, for all that you have done, and continue to do, to make Mum feel loved and cared for when we are unable to do so ourselves at the moment. God bless all of you.

My mum moved into Midfield Lodge in March following a rapid progression of Alzheimer's disease. From the moment mum moved in, she was cared for extremely well and was treated with kindness and thoughtfulness. The staff are truly wonderful and went above and beyond what we expected of them - they all
work so hard and really made an effort to get to know my mum as a person. Mum's day-to-day care needs, medical treatment and care for her well-being were of a very high standard. If there were any concerns about my mum, I was immediately informed and the nurses were very quick to pick up any changes in mum's condition. Midfield is a safe, happy and well-run care home and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody looking for care. I have been humbled by the kindness that they have all shown to me and my sister during the last few precious months of my Mum's life as she sadly passed away in December 2019 but feel grateful that she was in such a good place. Thank you.

My Mum went into the home on 2nd December 2019. She was very happy there. The care and love they all gave Mum as brilliant. Also, the care and support I was given too. Couldn't have been in a better place to end her days.

We went and visited this home before my mother arrived. We were shown around and able to meet the staff on shift. We were shown all the facilities on offer and were very pleased with everything we saw. Everybody was welcoming and made us feel at ease. As soon as my mother arrived from hospital, she
was made to feel welcome and offered a drink and food if she wanted. The staff all introduced themselves to her, making sure she could hear them and understand them. Although my mother was very stressed after the journey from hospital to Midfield, she was able to relax and recover from the journey. A very nice place and everybody is treated with dignity and respect.

My mum passed away at home in Midfield Lodge after moving in 10 months ago. Mum had Alzheimer's and was unable to walk at the point she came to live here. I have been overwhelmed by the care given to her and our family during her time here. Mum was very settled, happy and I could tell that she felt
safe and secure. All of her care needs were met with professionalism, dignity and a sense of humour. I feel that the staff all knew my mum well and they always had time to chat with her and any visitors. The bedrooms are not the biggest but they are functional and clean. The communal areas are welcoming with comfy furniture and there are beautiful gardens and easy parking. I'm a nurse and I feel very lucky that my mum was able to spend her last few months being cared for and was able to die here peacefully; all with such dignity and compassion. I have been touched by many small acts of respect and kindness shown to her. The staff are all very special people who go above and beyond to care.

My mother was well cared for in an efficient, effective and comfortable environment by staff who understood the need to maintain a low key presence around those suffering from Alzheimer's and similar cognitive disorders. A pleasant place to be despite not being most modern.

My father is cared for as well as you could be cared for. My sister and I agree on this.
The staff are friendly, talking to dad and us. We are always well informed of any problem dad has. The food is good and the homes are clean and tidy. We are happy with dads care.

I find Midfield Lodge a very much home from home place. It may not be as "shiny" as some I have visited but very welcoming and the staff are brilliant. The food is excellent and plenty of drinks on tap. My mum's room is basic, has no carpet and sometimes could be cleaner but that is my only gripe.

When Dad moved in, it seemed good but it soon became apparent management and staff issues were a problem. An awful lot of agency is used and therefore don't get to know the residents. This can cause problems especially in Dad's case, you need to know him and how to deal with his need before providing
the care. There has been a lot of management changes as well. When a certain senior is on, the whole home is different and organised.

Midfield Lodge was clean and the grounds were lovely and all the staff were excellent. They took great care of my brother and made sure that I was ok as well. I had food and drink and they were always there if I needed them to help or talk to. When he passed away, they made sure that I was ok and if
I needed anything I only had to ask. I can not praise them enough.

My aunt died at Midfield Lodge Care Home. I went to collect her belongings a few days later. I saw the administrator, she was very abrupt and unsympathetic. Quite surprising there seemed to be no interest or concern. I left feeling they did not care, just another death passing through.

Reply from Sherrill Thomas, Home Manager at Midfield Lodge Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Midfield Lodge Care Home - we appreciate all comments and feedback about our home. After reading your review I would like to offer my sincere apologies that you felt this way - we ensure our team are professional and respectful at all times so this isn’t something we would expect. We receive many comments on how supportive the home is and a number of relatives continue to visit the home even after their loved ones have passed away. If you would like to discuss this further I would be happy to talk in more detail with you. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.675)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.675) out of 10 for Midfield 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.675 for Midfield Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.675

  • 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 Midfield Lodge Care Home is based on 24 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
