The premises are new, clean and well laid out.
The carers provide a good standard of care.
The residents benefit greatly from the stimulation they receive from the in house entertainment and external visits.

My husband spent his first ever period of residential respite care (2 weeks) at Abbey Wood Lodge. He was admitted during a period of extremely agitated and difficult behaviour at home. He settled into care very quickly and seemingly easily and developed very positive relationships with the care staff.
Presumably as a result of this he seemed to be much calmer in himself each time. I visited and reports back from friends and family who visited echoed this. All in all, as positive an experience as I would possibly have hoped for.

My dad has just spent a week at Abbeywood Lodge (2nd visit). Could not fault the care given during his stay. Love the fact that the wonderful team do so much with the residents whether it's celebrating a birthday or going out for lunch. My dad seemed very happy and content to the point that he did not
want to go home. Would highly recommend Abbeywood Lodge - second to none. Well done to all the team.

My relatives, a husband and wife both 94, have been in residence at Abbey Wood Lodge for almost 12 months now. The care and attention they have received has been superb and in my opinion could not have been better. My cousin unfortunately became quite ill and after the hospital discharged her back to
Abbey Wood Lodge she was treated with great care and compassion until she passed away. The care received could not have been bettered. Since her passing her husband has been given excellent after care, he has been taken out to various venues and really pampered. This has been greatly appreciated by the resident and more so by his relatives. This has been a very caring home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.808)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.808) out of 10 for Abbey Wood 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.808 for Abbey Wood Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (431 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 494 Ratings = 4.808

  • 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 Abbey Wood Lodge is based on 40 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 40 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.
