I cannot speak highly enough of the care my mother receives at Llantarnam Lodge. She has been there for several years and is very content and happy. The staff are incredibly dedicated, compassionate, and professional, always ensuring her needs are met with kindness and respect. I have complete peace
of mind knowing she is in such good hands. The staff are always prompt in answering the door and calls, and I generally have no issues with the level of communication. The team here truly go above and beyond, and the addition of new team members has further strengthened the level of service. I am deeply grateful for their hard work and commitment to making life better for everyone.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

I am absolutely appalled by the level of care my grandmother received at Llantarnam Lodge Care Home. She suffers from dementia, and during her stay she was left alone without anyone checking on her for prolonged periods of time. This left her distressed and confused. The situation escalated when she
fell and suffered a broken hip, yet we were not informed by the care home staff. It was only when my grandmother's condition worsened that we discovered the extent of the neglect. She is now hospitalised, and her prognosis is uncertain due to the lack of proper care and attention she received at the care home. I submitted a review previously and the response from the director was that 'she is doing very well and ready to be discharged from hospital' which couldn't be further from the truth and misleading to the general public. The disregard for her well-being is utterly inexcusable, and I strongly advise anyone looking for a care home to avoid this place at all costs.

Avoid this Care Home at all costs. Communication is extremely poor - in my experience you are unable to contact the Care Home when you need to. They do not answer the phone or the front door. You are charged for your notice period even if your relative is hospitalised due to the Care Home's actions/lack
of actions. There are very limited activities for the residents. There are four care staff during the day for twenty-five residents and two at night for twenty-five residents even if residents are poorly/ requiring additional care. Management in my opinion don't have a true reflection of what is going on - they're unable to support their team. When you leave a negative review on carehome.co.uk their Responsible Individual and Director leaves a comment stating 'I am pleased to be informed that your grandmother is doing very well and that she is ready for discharge from hospital.' which is a total lie to make themselves look better to the general public.

I was very pleased with my initial contact with home. Staff very pleasant and most helpful. I was shown around the home which was very clean, bright and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and had ensuite facilities. My husband took a couple of days to settle in but after was quite at home. His daughter
visited and my son-in-law as I was away, both found him very happy. I would certainly use the care home again.

My father has lived at the Lodge for 9 months and has loved it so far. The care staff are wonderful and work very hard to ensure Dad's needs are met and he is happy. The food is wonderful, although there could be a better selection of fruit or snack options throughout the day. The activities need improvement.
Parties and activities thrown by the staff are wonderful but a more consistent activities staff member would be ideal. Overall I am very happy with the care Dad receives and always feel as though he's being left in safe hands.

Thank you for your review Sharon, it is very much appreciated. We take on board your comments regarding the snacks and the permanent recruitment of an activity coordinator - which is ongoing. I will be sure to relay your positive feedback to the whole team at Llantarnam Lodge. Kind regards.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My mother resided at Llantarnam Lodge for 8 years, during which time she was cared for very well. My mother had dementia. Mum was very happy and content there. The staff are all very caring. The management staff were always extremely accommodating and supportive. The facilities are very good and clean.
The food is good. Fees are on the expensive side and did escalate year on year. The entertainment provided for residents unfortunately does fall short compared to other care homes. I would have liked to see more to occupy the residents and more inclusion of family members, regular coffee mornings, social events etc. Communication was also a little lacking in this area. Mum's end of life care was exceptional and very dignified and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Reply from Rita Patel, Director at Llantarnam Lodge Care Home

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We, the staff management and myself were very fond of your mum and she will be missed dearly.
The areas of improvement you have mentioned will certainly be worked on with the current team in place. I wish you all the best.
Kind regards

My father, who is 98 years, stayed at the Llantarnam Lodge for about two weeks in July. He really enjoyed his stay. He said that all of the staff were friendly, kind, helpful and attentive. He enjoyed the food and the facilities. He also enjoyed interacting with other guests and residents. I had some
interaction with the manager and some of the other staff and found everyone to be professional, affable, approachable and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Llantarnam Lodge to anyone looking for an excellent care facility.

After both my sister and I looking after Mum for eight years we both realised we weren’t enough for her at the point she reached due to her Alzheimer’s. We cannot praise all members of staff at the home. Caring, attentive, professional and also a sense of humour! The staff are all so approachable, kind
and reassuring and nothing is too much trouble. At first, Mum found it hard to settle in, but with the patience shown towards Mum and constant reassurance from all members of staff, she got there in the end. The home is clean and inviting and she is now in a routine which has helped her immensely. She’s happy, has made new friends and we as a family are so very grateful for all their help in welcoming Mum into this wonderful environment. So a very big thank you!

What a wonderful home away from home. All the staff have been welcoming, kind and friendly. My mother-in-law has been settled and happy since the moment she arrived. I have been so impressed by the care she has received from everyone. I am told every day by my mother-in-law that the food is fabulous
and the ladies (carers) are so considerate, accommodating, and kind. The cleanliness of the home is excellent. What an amazing place. I would not hesitate to bring my mother-in-law back when the need arises.

My Mother has been a resident at Llantarnam Lodge for a while now and as a frequent visitor, I find the staff very friendly and welcoming and always pleased to offer an update on how my mother is. A while ago, mum was in a dark place but now she is so far from that. Previously she wanted me to take
her home but now she frequently tells me how happy she is at the Lodge. The staff clearly have a focus on the needs of the residents, mum has Dementia and not only are there frequent activities and events, but there has also been a recent introduction of electronic pets. These devices can be very therapeutic, especially to those with Dementia, being around these pets, the difference in mum is astonishing, it is a joy to see. Yes, mum is in her own world but it's a happy place which is more than I could wish for. Personally I wish to send a heartfelt thank you to all the team at the Lodge, undoubtedly they have a challenging job to do but it is done very professionally.

Llantarnam Lodge provides an environment far superior to all others in the locality. It is well designed to provide the highest standard of care, using many state of the art systems to monitor and ensure a safe, secure home for all.
The Lodge is well managed and the staff are professional, courteous
and all have that caring gene. The Lodge manager leads by example and sets a service tone that echo's through everything in the home. I was most impressed with the way in which my uncle's ailments and needs were immediately recognised and provided for. Be it medical or wellbeing or simply a "like", it was catered for, swiftly and without having to ask or chase. They are simply "on the ball" across everything. Their attention to detail is impressive. The Lodge provides not just a care service but a complete care service. My first impression was very good and that has not slipped at all. Three months in, consistency of standards and service provision has not faltered.

Reply from Arun Patel, Director at Llantarnam Lodge Care Home

Thank you, Steve, for your kind words, I do feel your Uncle has settled very well with us. The manager and the team are very passionate about what they do and how they do it and will be very pleased to know that it's being noted and recognised. I'll take great pleasure in passing on your comments to the manager and the team. Kind regards Rita Patel Responsible Individual.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.576)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.576) out of 10 for Llantarnam Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 3.776 for Llantarnam Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (32 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 3.776

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Llantarnam Lodge Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 8 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.
