In this care home for these times has been very strange. The staff have been close and we can talk about it with the other residents. At this time we have been keen to know what is happening in other countries and stay safe.

Greencross has been looking after my sister for approx 3-years now, and the family are delighted with the care she receives from the super staff. Extremely helpful, friendly and experienced. They go out of their way to ensure the best service possible. The family cannot thank them enough.

The home is excellent no complaints. They have dealt with the virus so well and always been in touch during the virus keeping myself updated on what is happening. The staff have been excellent all the time my aunt has been in the home and the staff have always been friendly when visiting.

My first visit to see my dad since lockdown with all measures in place, with staff ensuring we adhered to them. My dad looked very well, relaxed and in good form. He was seated in a comfy shed, brightly decorated and painted. This is a new construction and is perfectly suited for current requirements.
My family and I are so happy with the care my dad receives at this home.

During the recent lockdown, the staff at Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge have shown great care and concern for my father. We have been unable to visit for over 5 months but have felt assured that his mental and physical wellbeing were being taken care of during this difficult time.

Thank you very much for your feedback, it is an absolute pleasure to care for your Dad.

Because of Covid-19 I have only been able to see my husband once a week, but I know that he is getting first-class care. I only have to phone any time for an update on his condition and the staff are only too willing to give me information.

Was able to meet up with my brother again in surroundings within the garden of the care home. A lot of thought has been put into the visits. The staff are complying with government guidelines and nothing is too much trouble to them. The staff are good at keeping relatives informed of what is happening
within the home and always on hand to answer questions.

Reply from lLinda Robinson, Manager at Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge

We greatly appreciate this as we know visiting is difficult at the moment and we are glad that you feel that we are doing well.

I cannot recommend Greencross Nursing Home enough. My brother was there for 6 years. Unfortunately, he passed away in June this year. During the time he was there he received care that was second to none! The staff are amazing, they treat the residents with respect and care for them lovingly. My brother
was treated like family, he was happy there and I trusted them to take care of him, which they did with love right up to the day he died. I thank each and every one of the staff there for the way they take care of the residents.

This home is the perfect place for our mum, ALL staff are amazing and are forever going above and beyond what we ever expected. We are happy that Mum is happy and couldn’t think of anywhere we would rather she was than here.
Thank you to everyone for everything you have done and continue to do.

I have been at Greencross for over 5 years and cannot speak highly enough of the staff here. The staff go out of their way to ensure I am well cared for and that my life remains as normal as possible. I have been supported to attend family weddings near and far - even when it meant overnight stays.
My visitors are made welcome and when they cannot come to visit staff help me to go see them. Myself and my family look upon the staff as friends and we have a great relationship. I can talk to them about anything, any issues are sorted quickly.
My room is cleaned every day and my keyworker has helped me to decorate it myself the way I like it.
I am very happy here.

My Dad, who has dementia, is a resident. I am extremely pleased and overwhelmed with the care my Dad receives. As a family, we have no complaints at all. The staff are great and care a great deal about the residents. The home itself is lovely and clean. There are bright pictures and photos all around,
it's very welcoming. It's great to know my Dad is being taken care of so well.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.842)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.842) out of 10 for Greencross Nursing Home & 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.847 for Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 3.995 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greencross Nursing Home & Lodge is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.395

  • 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.
