My dad went to Homer Lodge for respite and physio after a spell in hospital. He was put on the 3rd floor at the end of the corridor for 3 days and nights. There was a constant alarm going off (obviously a resident was pressing the alarm although no one was attending). On the 3rd morning of him being
there a carer walked in to his bedroom at around 7am, pulled his quilt off him then pulled his pyjama bottoms down (dad being half asleep asked what she was doing). She then pulled his quilt back over him and said you don't have a nappy to change and walked out. Dad is not incontinent. This should never have happened, there is no dignity in this place. Myself and siblings took him out of there were he is now recovering at home.

Reply from Bogdan Florea, care home manager at Homer Lodge Care Centre

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I'm very sorry to hear about your concerns. We take dignity, respect, and quality of care very seriously at Homer Lodge, so it's upsetting to learn about your experience. I want to assure you that we investigated this matter thoroughly. Our records indicate that all care provided to your father was in line with his needs. He was independent with personal care, mobilized to the toilet unaided, and there were no incontinence checks as he didn't require them. Night staff didn't recall the described incident, and documentation reflects only life and well-being checks during his stay. We also noted your father enjoyed meals, interacted positively, and expressed appreciation for the care received. We're sorry this issue wasn't brought to our attention immediately, as this would've allowed us to address your concerns directly. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss further. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.

I was placed in transitional care at Homer Lodge Care Centre after a fall. My stay was temporary. I found all the staff very helpful and polite. The carers were lovely. Even the cleaners were lovely and engaged in conversation. The food was good and you had a choice of different meals. My care was designed
for my needs and I had visiting Physio Therapist. The only thing I would say is perhaps the meals could be a little hotter for my liking.
I went to a seated exercise class held in the lounge. It was very good. The guy taking you through exercises made it fun and engaged in personal conversation with all service users.

Reply from Bogdan Florea, care home manager at Homer Lodge Care Centre

Thank you for sharing your experience at Homer Lodge Care Centre. It's great to hear that the staff, from carers to cleaners, made your stay comfortable and engaging. It sounds like the team provided excellent support, and it's wonderful that your care was personalized to suit your needs, including the visiting physiotherapist. We're also glad that the seated exercise class was enjoyable and interactive, making a positive impact on your rehabilitation. Your feedback on meal temperature is valuable, and we'll be sure to pass it along for future improvement. Wishing you all the best!

My stay at Homer Lodge was due to an accident where I was confined to bed rest initially. My room was spacious and clean. The management were hands-on with all professional ethics where the patient comes first. I was very impressed with how well the facility was organised and how attentive and friendly
the staff were. The chef and kitchen staff were concerned about allergies and catered for our personal meds to a very high standard. I can recommend Homer Lodge and will revisit on my passing as I know I feel very welcome as a friend.

My father spent 3 weeks at Homer Lodge in an active recovery bed. He definitely benefitted from this. He was well-fed and had the chance to recover his strength after 3 weeks in hospital. He had access to health professionals and a caring team of support workers.
From the family's point of view, we
were impressed with the care and support he received, enabling his return home when we didn't think it possible. We feel we would have benefitted from more info, more about what was on offer, visiting times, access etc. Perhaps a sheet of info could be provided.

My mum was taken to Homer Lodge after being in hospital. She was treated very well at Homer Lodge. The only complaint really is that when she arrived there her medication was not sorted out straight away because it was the weekend and no doctors available for prescription until nearly a week later.
It causes a toxic build-up when patients do not have their recommended tablets, it is not good. The staff and management listened and acted as best they could. The staff are all thoughtful, caring and have lovely personalities. Thank you.

My mother-in-law was a resident of Homer Lodge from June 2023 to February 2024, when she passed away. Although the physical building is not luxurious and the location in the city is not near a country park, everything else about this care home is exemplary. The freshly cooked food (home cooked on the
premises by superb chefs) / the very high standard entertainment (with an emphasis on 'arts and crafts' in a participative style) / the cleanliness (the whole place always smelt of pine or fresh lemon) and tidiness / the warmth in winter / the comfort of the armchairs / the service from the medical professionals (physiotherapy, nursing attendance, doctors etc) / the full-time maintenance staff to ensure any electrical or plumbing issues were quickly repaired etc. Most importantly, the genuine affection and brilliant care shown towards her by every single staff member was outstanding. We shall miss you all. Thank you.

Although the location of Homer Lodge in a residential built-up area with no on-site residential parking and the building is a bit 'dated', (albeit being constantly updated), the important features of the care home are very impressive.
The cleanliness, outstanding cooking (all done on-site in their
own kitchen and high-quality fresh food, changes daily with excellent chefs) are all high quality along with the entertainment, warmth and management and housekeeping, but the most outstanding feature is the care. The genuine affection, love, care and attention shown to my mum since her arrival in June '23 has been exemplary.

The first thing that gets mentioned is food. Excellent home cooking that I have seen and smelt and my mother absolutely loved it and started eating things she had said in the past she said she didn't eat.
The car park is accessed from the street and allows time to gain access to the building as it
is secure and you also have to be let out by staff.
There appeared to be enough staff (I'm no expert) and the staff are very compassionate and even the cooks and cleaners knew the names of residents and appeared to engage when opportunities allowed. I noticed that the daughter of a long-term resident knew the names of all the staff which, to me, indicates a low staff turnover and so most beneficial to residents.
No TVs in rooms but noticed there were aerial connections and some people had TVs so assumed had been taken in for them.
Perhaps one suggestion would be to have a checklist in patient rooms that includes even the basics as we realised her teeth were not cleaned for a few days.

Reply from Bogdan Florea at Homer Lodge Care Centre

Thank you for your review of Homer Lodge. We are delighted to hear that your mother enjoyed our excellent home cooking and that she found new foods to enjoy. Our chefs take great pride in preparing nutritious and delicious meals for our residents. We're glad to know you felt confident in our security measures for parking and building access. Your comments about our compassionate staff, including cooks and cleaners, who engage with residents and know them by name, are very encouraging. A low staff turnover is indeed beneficial, fostering familiarity and comfort for our residents. We appreciate your suggestion about having a checklist in patient rooms.

My husband was admitted to this far below standard Care Home. We can honestly say that the attention from the staff was brief and he had to wait a very long time when he called for attention of a personal nature. Personal hygiene of a morning was scanty and I had to attend to this myself. Most of the
staff were pleasant but we felt needed more in-depth training to achieve the standard of care that they were expected to deliver. Communication was pretty much nonexistent. A complaint to the Area Manager took three days for a result and I had to ask for the outcome. My husband was not given the opportunity to explain his side and it was dismissed. He was mortified to have not been believed. The entire home is far from clean in all areas, which we found very distasteful and there was a very unpleasant odour throughout. I hope no one else has to suffer the way my husband did as it has had a very traumatic effect on his life. Needless to say, he is now home and happy with his loving family.

Reply from Lydia Gardner, Area manager at Homer Lodge Care Centre

We welcome reviews both positive and negative. We are sorry you feel the care home didn't meet your expectations. We will take on board the feedback you have given, and use it in a positive way for the future. Thank you for taking the time to write the review.

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Homer Lodge Care Centre is based on 20 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
