My nan moved here in the last couple of months and there has been an instant improvement in her health and wellbeing. She has started to lift her mood daily and is actually wanting to get out of bed, unlike her last placement. The home is beautiful and the staff are fantastic. Always a welcome feeling
when you arrive. I highly recommend Lakelands Lodge. Also, the concierge and manager are fantastic and really friendly.

Reply from Susan Derby, Business Development Manager at Lakelands Lodge

This home came recommended to us by a friend, whose mother was already a resident. It is not a ‘one size fits all’ organisation I am very pleased to say. Shortly after Dad moved to Lakelands Lodge we were contacted by the manager, who advised a change for Dad, due to what he thought was in Dad's best
interests, after having spent some time with him. We were so pleased to hear this. It established trust with our family that Dad is in a place where people really care. The manager and his team are easy to contact and talk to. Due to Covid-19, we are taking Dad out for walks at most visits but we are very much looking forward to spending time in Lakelands Lodge and I can’t say the same for some of the other homes I have had visited on occasions.

Reply from Susan Derby, Business Development Manager at Lakelands Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to review our home, Lakelands Lodge, and for such wonderful words. The team will really appreciate it, your feedback is truly invaluable to us.


As you say, we are not a "one size fits all" care home, and we treat our residents with the respect, care and dignity they deserve. We cannot wait to spend some wonderful times with our residents and their families when the time allows. Inside and outside the Lodge, there is so much to do. Thanks again, rest assured, your dad is in good hands. Best wishes.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed. The Covid regulations were strictly adhered to. The staff were very friendly and approachable. Beautiful, clean rooms. My husband was well settled and is being very well cared for, he was alert and responsive. He is treated with respect and the dignity
that he deserves. He is eating well too. I wish that he had been moved here years ago.

Reply from Susan Derby, Business Development Manager at Lakelands Lodge

I feel this home failed my husband's needs in several ways. His health and mobility have improved dramatically since moving elsewhere. However, some of the care assistants there were very kind and helpful,

My dad has been in Lakelands Lodge since it opened. We cannot thank the staff enough for all their care and support, given to my dad. The cleanliness of the home is to a very high standard. Management are also very approachable and supportive. As a family, we are kept informed about any changes with
Dad. I would highly recommend Lakelands Lodge.

Reply from Susan Derby, Business Development Manager at Lakelands Lodge

We are so glad, Susan, that you have found contentment in knowing your dad is being so well taken care of at Lakeland Lodge. Being a new lodge, the staff here are new also but have all been chosen for their experience, caring attitude and love of working in the care sector. It is a fantastic place to be part of, the smiles and fun are all we ask for. It is a pleasure to be there for you all, and rest assured, our manager and staff are there any time to help. I will pass your lovely message on to the staff and manager.

Due to Covid there is only so much I can comment on - but my husband has only been in Lakelands for 3 weeks, transferred from hospital after a fall. All the staff I've spoken to on the phone or seen face to face have been exceptional at a very emotional time. They have gone out of their way to help
in anyway possible. They are friendly, very kind and deeply caring and my husband has settled in well.

Reply from Susan Derby, Business Development Manager at Lakelands Lodge

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Lakelands 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 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.613 for Lakelands Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) + (167 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 597 Ratings = 4.613

  • 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 Lakelands Lodge is based on 50 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 50 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.
