Horsell Lodge is located on the outskirts of the delightful village of Horsell. The home is built to the latest care standards offering dementia, residential and nursing care on a permanent and short stay basis. The home prides itself on providing exceptional care in the best possible surroundings with a focus on person-centred care, clinical excellence and family values, including professional physiotherapy sessions.

There are many different enticing spaces to relax in such as the bistro and quiet lounges dotted around the home, as well as a cinema and hair salon. With beautifully landscaped gardens and wind-proof glazed balconies providing outdoor seating all year round.

They are proud to be part of the only care home group to have their own unique award-winning dementia training ‘My World’ which is accredited by City and Guilds. It highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, in addition to addressing clinical aspects of care.

Safety and comfort are a foremost concern, so all rooms are fitted with a nurse call system and acoustic monitoring for residents' peace of mind. As well as improving quality of sleep, acoustic monitoring can help to reduce the risk of falls. For those living with memory loss or dementia, design features include dementia-friendly elements such as interior decoration, new stable door feature, light levels, floor coverings and signage which help to promote a sense of calm and wellbeing, while enabling people living with dementia to find their way around independently and safely.

Horsell Lodge offers first-class facilities and accommodation, allowing residents to feel welcome, relaxed and secure whilst also enjoying an active and independent lifestyle. If you’re a little unsure of what type of care is needed, or would like to move in as a couple, they’re happy to help with the details.

We were very lucky to find Horsell Lodge following my mother's accident and discharge from hospital. We were really impressed by the kindness and efficiency of the management team in assessing my mother and getting her transferred quickly to the home, at a busy time before Christmas. The team have provided
wonderful respite care for her while she heals. The care has been attentive, kind, respectful, everything you could hope for. The nurses and care assistants are second to none in their professionalism and warmth. As a family we could not be more pleased with the support provided to my mother after a traumatic experience.

When my mum suddenly needed palliative care, the manager, deputy head nurse, clinical lead and the office staff, along with the carers and all other departments, including housekeeping, rose above and beyond to provide compassionate and supported environment for my mum. They extended this love and support
to all the family members at this difficult time. They made this time bearable for us and were always there when we needed them. Sadly, my dear mum has now passed away. I will miss seeing them all.

We unfortunately needed to move my mother into full time care at Horsell Lodge due to her worsening dementia.
From the first contact with the home throughout the admission process and from her very first moments at the home all of the staff, carers, managers etc have been outstanding.
A very difficult
and emotional time was managed with the utmost care.
My mother is being extremely well cared for and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Horsell Lodge to anyone.

My mother has been in Horsell Lodge for over 3 years and they are taking very good care of her, in fact, I can't speak highly enough about the care she is given. There has been the odd issue (hardly surprising given Covid and nationwide care sector challenges) but the few problems have been addressed
promptly and comprehensively, which is precisely what one would want to see from management and staff. Mum has recently celebrated an important birthday, so we used the hospitality service and the private dining room to hold a family lunch party for her, her children, grandchildren and partners. The preparation was thorough, the room very well-decorated, the food was really excellent, and the service superb. The hospitality manager did an excellent job, and the individuals who attended to us on the day were attentive, considerate, and cheerful. They were absolutely brilliant, and we cannot thank them enough for looking after Mum and the rest of the family on what was a very special day.

We recently had lunch for 8 family members in the private dining room of Horsell Lodge to celebrate my mother's birthday.
From the pre-lunch drink at 12.00 to a final cake with candles after dessert at about 2pm the hospitality team were magnificent.
They had decorated the room in advance with fresh
flowers, a table display and birthday banners and had previously given us the opportunity to add anything we wanted.
The quality of the food, which was from the resident's menu and chosen in advance, was very good and, the portion size was huge!
We must give the hospitality team who did all the work in advance and, cheerfully and efficiently served us on the day, many thanks for a wonderful meal and a day that we will all remember.

My mother assumed she was in prison and certainly felt like this, despite paying own fees. Not sure how they got around taking her here without Social Services being involved, my previous review (on another platform) has been taken down saying I wouldn't allow my dog to stay here. The care staff were
nice and kind to my mother, but this home hadn't trained them properly in how to move a person in extreme pain with slide sheets and ignored all pleas to do this by aggressive Sister in charge and manager who caused me real upset when I questioned the care. They also didn't ever want to call a doctor when clearly needed.

Reply from Julie Bignell, Horsell Lodge Manager at Horsell Lodge

Dear Suzanne, we're really sorry to hear the feedback you've provided about your mother's experience with us, and would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in more detail so we can both do our best to improve, as well as hopefully alleviate some of your concerns. I understand that the team at Horsell Lodge have tried to get in touch with you already - as the Home Manager, I am here to help and to answer any questions you may have - my door is always open, or do please feel free to contact me to arrange an appointment at a time that's convenient to you - this can be in person or also by telephone if you prefer.

We visited my friend on 3rd June. We were greeted in a friendly manner and taken to find her. We chatted and were then taken to a separate dining room to have lunch with her. The room was beautifully set out and comfortable for the three of us to eat and talk privately. The delicious meal was cheerfully
and efficiently served to us by one member of staff in particular. He appeared at the right times to bring our food and drinks and then to clear the plates, always with a ready smile. We had a very happy and special time with my friend. A big thank you!

The customer relations man was a fantastic introducer to Horsell Lodge which included him being available on text and replying promptly to every question I sent him.
Once in, my dad received a welcome basket and we worked together on a good care plan for him.
Horsell Lodge has also been available
on the phone for updates when I requested one.
I was delighted to see my Dad a week late both clean-shaven and already getting involved a little in the home's activities.
They seem kind and considerate of my dad and our requests too.

My mother has been a resident at Horsell Lodge for approaching five months and now proudly calls it home and is grateful every day for the exceptional care and support she receives.
Particularly praiseworthy is the sincere kindness and personalised attention each member of staff provides to each resident.
This extends beyond the numerous carers to the nursing staff, activities and entertainment team, housekeepers and hospitality.
We recently celebrated my mother's 90th birthday with close family and friends in a private lounge within Horsell Lodge. The staff had taken the time to decorate the room, including personalised balloons, and provided a delicious selection of party food and a homemade birthday cake. On the day a young chap from the hospitality team looked after all the guests, and everyone commented on his hard work and professionalism. Just one example of the commitment shown by the team which sets Horsell Lodge apart.

The home brilliantly organised a very special lunch for Mum's 90th birthday. The in-house catering team, which I understand is a new team, could not have done any more to make it as special as it was. Tables were brilliantly decorated and the team even had some of Mum's dancing pictures displayed. We
were served the menu of the day (chosen in advance) by two of the team. The younger of which was his first time in this environment. He was very professional at all times and courteous in his approach. Overall a fantastic experience. Would thoroughly recommend a private dining experience at Horsell Lodge, which came close to fine dining.

Horsell Lodge provided an excellent safe environment for my mother while she recovered from a fractured pubic rami. All the staff were professional and very caring, the management team, nursing team, nurone team, activities team, ladies on reception, the catering team and the housekeeping. The room
was spacious and well-equipped with an ensuite and fridge. The daily activity programme was well thought out and well presented. The food was very good with choices provided at each meal. Access is the garden is an excellent facility as is the hairdressing salon. Thank you to all the staff who enabled my mother to recover well.

A feeling of safety for my well-being. Happiness is all I am feeling, The warmest greetings from all carers from morning to night, then all through the night sleeping knowing someone is always there for you. An exceptional chef who caters for all resident's needs. Never a wasted moment of the day, so

This has always been a good home, I visit a friend a few times a year, and this visit and the whole home were elevated to the next level thanks to the new hospitality manager, the event I attended was one I would have been delighted with if it had been in a restaurant, to receive such 5-star service
in a care home was way above my expectations, I had a chat with him and he explained he was new but had great support from his two managers to move standards forward, it is obvious he is succeeding, a good care home is now a very good one.

Care home is generally ok. I think management could be more proactive on the floor. The food is appalling, a lack of respect towards what people want to eat and what’s written on the menu and what’s actually provided. No snacks or fruit available. Most staff came across as pleasant. A strong resistance
to get a doctor appointment as this cost money, even though it was clearly required. At the end I thought there was a lack of compassion from the home and no communication or any interest shown. It was just about money ultimately.

The nurses worked above and beyond their duties. All the staff were very caring, special people. I came here convalescing after L4/5 lumbar spine decompression and fusion as I live on my own and have no one to look after me. Very heavy duvets on the beds, I had to ask for a lightweight one which they
found 2 days later. Beautiful modern decor throughout.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.608)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.608) out of 10 for Horsell Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.608 for Horsell Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.608

  • 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 Horsell Lodge is based on 20 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 20 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

As the Home Manager I believe our residents should be able to live the life they want and be able to be themselves. I enjoy taking on the responsibilities that come with managing a home and I encourage the inclusion of everyone in the home, to create a friendly environment and a great place for us all to live and work.


I have worked in a variety of roles within the care sector for over 40 years, including being a registered nurse in the NHS for 20 years in intensive care and then moving to a nursing role within a care home. From there I progressed to Home Manager and have managed various sized homes, giving me great experience and having worked as a nurse in this setting previously I understand what the day-to-day role involves so I can support my team.


I operate an open-door policy and am approachable, not only to my team, but to the residents and their relatives too as it is their home. I encourage residents to make their rooms their own, by bringing in meaningful items to help make it homely for them.


The care background of the owners of Caring Homes is what stood out to me when joining as they understand what is involved at home level and there is a strong support network in place for me and my team to continually develop. I am passionate about seeing my team members grow and develop in their roles at the home as I work with them to offer the best care and environment possible for our residents.


In my spare time I love to travel and understand different cultures, I never go back to the same place twice as the world is so big and has so much to offer. I am also interested in ancestry, which I find fascinating and is a journey of discovery.
