Our experience as a family with a relative in Athorpe Lodge was a very positive one. I don't think dad would have come home if he hadn't had the care and physiotherapy that he got at Athorpe Lodge. We cannot thank the staff enough for all they did for him, and that goes for the cleaners, the carers,
the physios and everyone in between; they were all amazing. My parents are both 92, and although my mom wasn't a patient, the respect and care they were both shown was second to none. I would fully recommend Athorpe to anyone who needs a safe place for their parent or relative to be looked after. I can't think of a negative word to say about my dad's experience in Athorpe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My mum was in Athorpe Lodge for just over 3 months and in that time she received excellent care.
The staff are caring, and compassionate and go above and beyond to help.
As well as supporting my mum the staff were a huge support to me too.
The food was excellent, and the bedrooms were of a high standard
and decorated beautifully.
Sadly my mum passed away on the 22nd of November 2023, but I know she was very happy at Athorpe.
I just want to say a huge thank you to 6 members of staff in particular and the other staff for looking after my mum and me.
I will be forever grateful for everything you did for my mum and dad.
I would recommend Athorpe 100%.

Reply from Melanie Backe, Administrator at Athorpe Lodge

Thank you for your kind words, I will ensure these are passed over to the care staff team. It was a pleasure to look after your mum and she will be sadly missed by us all.

My brother has been a permanent resident at Athorpe for nine months and his complex needs have been met in a kind and compassionate way. The staff throughout the home have been brilliant from the start. I can't fault their attitude or commitment and would recommend Athorpe Lodge to anyone looking for
a similar level of care for a loved one.

I visit at all times including weekends. Staff are always pleasant professional and happy to help. Clients all appear comfortable and settled.
Dignity and respect are important to me and the care of a dearly beloved friend is my highest priority, the home appears to have the balance just right. Also
trying to encourage a little independence.
I’ve been visiting weekly since October 2022 and have had no issues at all. I put satisfactory for food as I wish they would provide whole meal bread not white and a greater variety of cereal. But it’s a minor grumble when overall I find it excellent and I’m very picky.

My mum has been at Athorpe Lodge for nearly a year and the staff are lovely and caring and willing to have a joke with her, the care she gets is brilliant. She has ups and downs and the staff are always on hand to talk with her and comfort her. Mum has a great sense of humour and has the staff laughing
often which boosts Mum no end many thanks for being so kind to her really is very much appreciated.

My mum has been in Athorpe Lodge for a year now on Clarence Ward. I am so happy with the care she receives. 2 members of staff, in particular, are so helpful (even face timing on Christmas Day to speak to mum, as I live two and a half hours away). The staff go beyond the call of duty and mum is very
happy.

My mum has been on the Balmoral section of Athorpe Lodge and the treatment and care mum has received has been outstanding. The staff are amazing, they are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you or any member of your family is in need of this type of service then look no further
than Athorpe Lodge. It is our first dealing with anything like this and I'm glad my mum has been treated with dignity and respect. The food in Athorpe is plenty and very tasty. My mum is one of the world's pickiest eaters, she has eaten pretty much everything that has been cooked and actually put weight on whilst being in Athorpe, very happy about that. Thank you to all the staff at Athorpe, you have all been amazing, very much appreciated.

Reply from Kathleen Harrison, Manager at Athorpe Lodge

Thank you for your positive review in relation to the care your mum received, both myself and staff are pleased that your mum enjoyed her time with us and that her rehabilitation went well.

It has taken me a while to write this review, which I do apologise for. My Dad came to Athorpe Lodge for rehabilitation in June and he absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, his health wasn't that great and his rehabilitation had to be stopped and he became a resident in July due to his deteriorating health.
Can I just say how marvellous the staff are on both the rehabilitation section and the nursing section. I was kept fully informed of how my Dad was and the staff were so friendly. He always had a smile for them, the care was brilliant and the food looked lovely and there was always plenty. His room was spotless, it was like a hotel room and the views from the windows were brilliant. Yes, the hot days of July were a bit of a task to control but the efforts of the staff never wavered. Thank you so much for making my Dad's last few weeks on earth one of the most kind, patient and attentive. You are all a credit to the service.

Reply from Debbie Charlesworth, Administrator at Athorpe Lodge

Just a quick message of thanks to the staff of Athorpe Lodge who take wonderful care of my Mum-in-law. She has made great progress since becoming a resident and that is testimony enough to the support, care, and attention she receives from the Athorpe Lodge staff. We as a family recently attended the
Queen's Platinum Jubilee garden party organised by the staff. We had a wonderful time, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and cherished the opportunity to roll back the clock and celebrate with our loved one at a social event. Judging by the reaction of all the people attending they shared the same sentiment. Keep the events coming to Athorpe Lodge and thank you from all the family.

My mum has been in Athorpe Lodge for over four years. The standard of care given by the staff in Athorpe has been excellent throughout this time. Covid was obviously difficult for everyone and they performed very well. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I visit my mum who is a service user. From reception through to the staff on the unit all the staff I have encountered are wonderful. They genuinely care for the residents. I have got to know the receptionist and trust her and because I trust her it makes me also trust the other staff through association.
I also have got to know the lovely and dedicated care team on my mum’s ward, these people are wonderful, so caring and I can honestly say that they love the residents in their care. The management team are always available and they are all very approachable. I am very happy that my mum is somewhere where she is clearly loved and cared for.

My husband was admitted here 3-weeks ago for rehabilitation. I can honestly say that the care and support from everyone have been amazing, from the carers, nurses, physio and even the receptionist. I couldn't have a better place for his recovery, definitely recommend Athorpe Lodge.

My Dad moved in here in August 2020, first on the hospital unit and then permanently from October 2020. This home is beautiful, the staff are amazing and they do a phenomenal job in looking after their service users. They keep my Dad safe and well looked after. The receptionist and admin team are friendly,
warm and welcoming. I love visiting there. Dad has made heaps of new friends and loves it there.

My husband has been a resident at Athorpe Lodge since September 2021. I can honestly say that the care he has received has been of a high standard. All the staff throughout the home are friendly, dedicated people and treat residents with respect and dignity. They not only look after the resident but
care about the well being of their families. I know that when I leave my husband I feel safe in the knowledge that he is in good hands. Peace of mind is everything. The home itself is very clean and very well presented. The grounds are well maintained so that on fine days residents can sit outside with family and friends. Meals are very good too.
I would not hesitate in recommending Athorpe Lodge to anyone.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.888) out of 10 for Athorpe Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.816 for Athorpe Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 76 Ratings = 4.816

  • 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 4.072 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Athorpe Lodge is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 94 registered maximum number of service users is 18.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.372

  • 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.
