“our mum" was so poorly when she arrived at Marine Lodge the belief was “she didn’t Care long” with the correct care, love, attention and the understanding of 'our mums” special “care” needs, although mum is still "thriving” because the staff care and seem to be devoted to their roles + responsibilities.

My wife has been resident since May'23. We as family were very apprehensive but we are pleased she settled quickly, and is always warm and comfortable and well cared for. The staff know her well and are more than kind and caring. They are also most courteous to all our family members. Just a little
disappointed when necessary repairs for water supply in lounge, and lift which had broken took so long to correct. Lift still out of order.

My friend is very well cared for and loved by all the staff. She looks good i.e. hygiene and care. Plenty going on (which she doesn't like joining in). Food is excellent and I know she is happy.

My dad has been in Marine View Lodge for nearly four months now, and all of the staff and carers have made him feel welcome and have been kind and professional while caring for him. The food is good, and everyone is included in the activities arranged. He feels safe and secure and seems content in his
new home.

Many thanks for giving us the opportunity to care for your father, it is always a pleasure to give outstanding care.

My father came to stay at Marie View Lodge following a long hospital stay.
He was given a warm and caring welcome and his care has been exemplary. Everyone from reception, catering, laundry, cleaning, caring, nursing and leadership teams are professional, caring and ready to go the extra mile.
Thank
you for all your support.

We have only had experience of Marine View Lodge for two weeks but are more than satisfied with the care being provided by the home. My husband has settled well and seems content which is a huge comfort for me.

Apart from the soup, the quality of the food isn't very good. Too many meals with chips!
I would like to see regular nurses on duty for continuity, one week I saw four. If they stayed on the same floor, they would have a better understanding and knowledge of the residents. I also think there aren't
enough carers on Dad's floor.

Reply from Matthew Bell, Regional Operations Manager at Marine View Lodge

Thank you for your review. I will ensure I feedback to the chefs at the home and get the menu reviewed, we do, however, always use fresh produce and haven't had any other concerns raised regarding the food. Also, we don't use any agency staff at the home, and therefore, have a small team of nurses who cover all the shifts and any annual leave and sickness. Therefore, they will work on different floors to ensure they know all our residents and work across days and nights. Please do though, call in and discuss any issues with our lodge manager, who would be more than happy to assist you.

We have been very pleased with the staff at Marine Lodge. They go above and beyond in engaging with the residents, making them feel almost like friends rather than care staff. The residence is run professionally and recently the number and variety of activities has improved. A wish would be for the
rooms to be cleaned and hoovered more thoroughly/regularly. Recently, there has been no hot water on my mother's floor (for three weeks and counting) which means no baths/showers, which is not satisfactory. Overall, we are very happy with Marine View Lodge.

Reply from Sue Lawler, Manager at Marine View Lodge

Thank you for your kind words. I will make sure that the staff know that you appreciate all that they do. All rooms and public areas are cleaned on a daily basis, but I will draw your comments to the attention of our housekeepers. The hot water on your mother's floor is, we know, currently warm rather than very hot. That is being attended to.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.628)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.628) out of 10 for Marine View 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.628 for Marine View Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (329 Excellents x 5) + (95 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 457 Ratings = 4.628

  • 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 Marine View Lodge is based on 36 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 36 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.
