I always get a polite, helpful and friendly welcome from staff. They always ensure all Covid protocols are implemented fully. The home is really well run, giving the greatest care for all the residents. They are treated with great care, dignity and respect. The fees are very good value for money. It
is always a pleasure to visit and knowing my friend is so well cared for and secure.

My dad was at Chatsworth Lodge originally for respite care. He enjoyed his stay there and was well looked after, enjoying it so much he wanted to stay. Staff were caring and also took the time to get to know Dad and his likes and dislikes and encouraged Dad to get involved with activities laid on especially
at the care home, which he did.
I can't praise them enough especially during these difficult times.

I cannot praise the staff enough for the care and support they have given to my Mum and all the residents at Chatsworth Lodge in this very difficult time. My Mum has celebrated her 90th birthday yesterday and even though as a family we have missed this big milestone celebration, the staff made it a
very special day for her.
The dedication to keep residents safe has been fantastic, as a family we cannot thank you enough.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My father in law moved to Chatsworth Lodge a year ago after a batch of ill health. He is not able to move around on his own anymore so living here has given him the constant safety and security he now needs with care staff on hand to attend to his needs including personal hygiene and washing clothes.
The day accommodation is warm, bright and airy. He is not able to join in with some of the entertainment arranged but the TV areas and hustle and bustle of activities help to create a homely (not alone) feel. Meals are regular, ample and well presented. Night time accommodation is comfortable with many additional safety features introduced to counteract his nocturnal activities as he has the propensity to fall out of bed. The home reliably manages prescribed drugs and ensures medical attention is provided. It has given me peace of mind knowing he is in a place of safety during this difficult time of his life.

The staff are friendly and caring with good efforts of communication to residents. The cooks ask what meal is requested individually to the residents. But staffing levels or just haste to get people up means skin creams and sometimes teeth cleaning do not happen. A good atmosphere.
Issues:-
Hearing
aids can be lost and found days later.
Clothes/toiletries are lost eg a named coat.
Chiropodist infrequent.
Laundry - clothes returned to the wrong room.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.445)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.445) out of 10 for Chatsworth Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.445 for Chatsworth Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (98 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.445

  • 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 Chatsworth Lodge Care Home is based on 25 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 25 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.
