My brother is well looked after. One time he had a fall and I was contacted immediately and the doctor called.

I find Apple Blossom Lodge one of the best care homes I have ever seen. Staff are so kind and thoughtful and so helpful to us as a family. Today they organised a Christmas dinner in a hotel. What a lovely idea! It gave us as a family a Christmas to remember with our loved one and we had a beautiful
day. We can't thank them enough. I would recommend this home to everyone. Many thanks to you all for being so caring.

I have just returned from visiting my brother at Apple Blossom Lodge known also as The Retreat.
I am very happy with this care home. The kindness of the staff and willingness is abundant.
My brother has a lovely room for himself and his care couldn't be better.
Lastly the food is delicious..

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.135)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.135) out of 10 for Apple Blossom Lodge 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Apple Blossom Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.135 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Apple Blossom Lodge is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.135

  • 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.
