Family members are not safe under Kenyon Lodge's care. Nursing staff failed to call an ambulance when clear stroke signs were being exhibited and she was found unresponsive in her room after being left alone for 1.5 hours.
Food is not home cooked contrary to some other reviews, as one of the 'chefs'
told us we do not cook the food, it is brought in as we cannot cook for 60 residents. Staff openly call the manager names. Very unprofessional.
Care staff do not respond quick enough to residents who are on palliative care ringing their buzzer. I have witnessed with other residents as well as my own family member.

Reply from Shaun Morrissy, Home Manager at Kenyon Lodge

My parents moved into Kenyon Lodge during the pandemic and lived there for over three years until my father's death in November 2023. It is difficult to sum up in words the peace of mind I had whilst they were there, but I will try to convey in this review, my personal experience. The staff are caring,
conscientious, and polite and do their upmost for the residents. Because I was permitted to be there beyond visiting times due to unique circumstances, I knew the staff continued with their dedicated work. In short, when you have a family member in KL, you become part of the KL family and together with the management and staff, you create the optimum atmosphere for your loved ones. When my mum passed away at the beginning of 2023, it was as though the staff had lost a member of their own family as they become so close to the residents. My dad continued to live at Kenyon Lodge after my mother's death and when he passed away, knowing that he was so well cared for, was a great comfort.

Reply from Shaun Morrissy, Home Manager at Kenyon Lodge

Thank you for your kind words, such positive feedback is much appreciated by the whole staff team, who always strive to deliver the highest quality care to our residents at all times. It was our pleasure to be entrusted with the care of your parents who are still very much missed by the staff.

Moving my dad for the 3rd time has been very difficult. I was nervous at first as I live close by and heard it had a poor reputation. Dad has been here for 6 months and he has no pressure sores which is unusual as he is bed-bound and had many before. He has a few baths more here and he has not sat in
a chair in 3 years. I was amazed to see this and very thankful, he also gained weight which is positive.

Kenyon Lodge is a secure and safe place for my elderly mother.
The standards of cleaning, care and continuous attention to detail is excellent and I am confident that my mum is very well cared for.
The dayrooms and dining rooms are clean, well-presented and well-used.
I particularly like the central
garden areas where walkways and benches add real value and again, are well used by residents and visitors and a nice view out of bedroom windows.

Reply from Tina Johnstone, Regional Operations Director at Kenyon Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review of Kenyon Care Home, of the care provided and the environment available for the residents and their loved ones to enjoy. We cannot wait to see the end result of the garden space once fully completed.

My dad moved into Kenyon Lodge in January 2024. When we viewed the home we immediately felt this was the right home for Dad. The staff are lovely, engaging, polite and make eye contact. The home-cooked food was also a plus. Since Dad moved here we have been happy with Dad's care. I have to date, no

Mum came to Kenyon Lodge initially for respite care over Christmas. She returned on a permanent basis at the beginning of February.
She has settled in well and enjoys the company and activities, having her hair and nails done as well is a bonus.

Changes to Kenyon over the last 12 months, new manager, refurb (tidy up) and new staff have all been positive and the family feel it has improved our experiences and Mum's care. The nursing staff and carers know Mum well and provide personalised care for her. Mum is settled in Kenyon and we feel that
Mum would be happy to stay here. She enjoys the food and chatting to staff on her good days.

A lovely home with caring staff. All staff were amazing with my Dad, nothing was ever an issue and they went above and beyond, not only for Dad but for his family who visited him. They treated Dad with dignity in his last days. Would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of coming to Kenyon Lodge.

My dad moved into Kenyon Lodge after coming out of hospital after a bad fall, which he no longer could walk after. He suffered with severe dementia. The staff at Kenyon Lodge looked after him so well, caring about his wellbeing. The nurses in particular were wonderful. If in the future I had to go into
a care home myself, this would be the place for me. I can't recommend the home as much as I am, it's wonderful.

My stepdad went in for respite, he’s been in for two weeks up to now in a four-week stay, in this time he has been involved in a trip out to the sea life centre and been involved in a rock and roll night which I attended. They interact with him really well and make it enjoyable for him to be there,
he is able to see and interact with other residents and all of his needs (as he can sometimes be fussy) are beyond met.

My dad stayed here for respite from 16th to 26th June, during his stay he was treated with respect and compassion and his dignity was upheld throughout. He really involved himself with karaoke and the activity staff member took him to his much-loved bowling club in sweltering heat, he pushed my dad
in a wheelchair to ensure he enjoyed his experience. Dad loved his room with a view of the bird feeder and gardens. Staff assisted him to feed the birds and were always on hand to help. Dad said he enjoyed the food most days, he hadn't eaten for 4 weeks before coming into respite, however, he ate everything whilst here. He commented on how peaceful the ground floor unit was and that his stay had indeed been a pleasurable one. He will be back in July. Thank-you to everyone involved in my dad's stay, you have made some lovely memories for him.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.585)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.585) out of 10 for Kenyon Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.585 for Kenyon Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.585

  • 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 Kenyon Lodge is based on 19 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 19 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.
