Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our experience with Canmore Lodge has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment my mother moved in, it was clear that the staff genuinely cared about her well-being. They were kind, compassionate, and always went above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable, safe, and respected. The environment
was warm and welcoming, making it easier for our family to trust that she was in good hands.
The caregivers were attentive to her needs and were proactive in keeping us updated on her health and any changes. It was evident that they treated her like family, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. The activities offered were also wonderful, providing both physical and mental stimulation that greatly enhanced her quality of life.
We cannot thank the team at Canmore Lodge enough for the love and care they provided to my mother during her time there. It was truly a place where she felt cared for, valued, and at home.

Could not think of a better place for my husband to spend his last few months. The care, compassion and 'can-do' attitude of the entire staff is unbelievable. We are grateful for the kitchen staff, cleaning staff and all the nursing staff.

On entering Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home, the first thing you see is the smiling face of reception, the care, love and attention that was given to my mother was second to none. The pressure that was taken off my family was immense. From the nurses to the laundry lady, I can't thank you all enough.

The most important item for myself and my family is knowing my wife is well cared for which takes the pressure off us.
The staff are all very caring, well mannered and friendly. They go the extra mile and always cheerfully to me.
We have built up a very nice relationship with all the staff, from management
to the nurses.
Long may it continue.

Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home has looked after my aunt these last seven years until her passing earlier this year. The physical care was exceptional as my aunt was always clean, kempt, neatly dressed and smart-looking. But, more than this, she was lovingly cared for emotionally. My aunt looked
up to the nurses and carers with smiling eyes and likewise, the staff spoke with her kindly and lovingly. The 'family' atmosphere there is tangible. When any health problem arose, Canmore Lodge acted quickly and professionally.

My aunt stayed in Canmore Lodge for the last eighteen months. The care she has received has been of the highest standard. She has been visited several times every week by family members who are all adamant that she could not have been better cared for anywhere.
The atmosphere in the home is fantastic,
the meals etc. are of a very high standard too. Thank you to all the staff and relatives of other residents who echo the thoughts I have expressed.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.960 for Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.96

  • 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 Canmore Lodge Care Home is based on 21 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
