We were obviously very disappointed to read your review. I am satisfied that everything possible was done to facilitate the needs of the resident and the family in this instance but am clearly very sad that you feel we didn’t achieve this for you. Barchester and Rose Lodge are dedicated to delivering the best possible care to every resident whose needs are appropriate to the home and will continue to offer the highest standards at all times.

Thank you for your feedback which is always valuable in helping us deliver the best we can for every resident. We were very sorry to see that you didn’t feel able to score us 4 and above in every category and would be more than happy to discuss your concerns further with you. Our home is running to the same standards and staffing levels it was in November last year and these standards are set above and beyond any minimum standard set by most care homes. I can reassure you that our safeguarding procedures are in place and rigidly adhered to at all times. Our activities are a key part of the great lifestyle we deliver to all of our residents and happen every day but we personalise this for residents whenever possible and are open to any and all requests for specific activities if they wish them. Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your concerns further should you wish to.

I tried to keep Mum at home and independent as long as I possibly could as I was worried where she might end up when a home was required. Not a problem with Rose Lodge. I have marked every area as 'Excellent' which is after 10 weeks. All I can say is Mum is happy and I am very happy as I have 'peace of mind' for her future.
Well done everybody and I mean well done and a pat on the back to all...

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.663) out of 10 for Barchester Rose 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.663 for Barchester Rose Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.663
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 Barchester Rose Lodge Care Home is based on 13 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
