Littleton Lodge and all the staff are always fantastic whatever time of day you arrive, always a smile and a chat, making you feel at home. The care for everyone is fabulous, and many an activity you can stay and enjoy with your loved one, from bingo to singing and dancing. I can't thank them enough
for all the support, help and understanding they've given me and all of the family, especially my nan.

The care dad has received since being at Littleton Lodge has been exceptional. He settled into his new way of life a lot quicker than we anticipated due to being made so welcome. The food here is delicious and nutritious, and dad often has seconds! Special thanks to all the staff for making Dad's life
comfortable at Littleton Lodge. Our last mention to the front-of-house manager for going above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Littleton Lodge

Thank you for this fabulous review, it’s great to hear your dad has settled in so well and enjoying the home comforts. We agree with you, our Front-of-House Manager is an absolute star!

Love the plan to take my dad to the football. He's so much happier sitting in the day room, joining in the activities. The carers really treat Dad with respect and make him smile. A really nice touch would be if carers could accompany Dad to help us if he has a long hospital visit.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Littleton Lodge

Thank you for your review, it’s great to hear that your dad is so happy at Littleton. Please, if he has any hospital appointments planned, just let us know, we will always aim to have someone accompany him where possible, as well as arrange transport, it’s an important part of what we do to ensure our residents have an all-inclusive, luxury experience.

My mother spent 14 months as a resident at Littleton Lodge during which time she thrived. The standard of accommodation and service has been excellent, more akin to a luxury hotel. The staff were devoted and caring and the variety of support and entertainment is excellent. I would recommend Littleton
Lodge.

A very friendly welcome soon overcame her initial trepidation. The carer's attention helped her to settle in. It was good to know that she was safe, being looked after with care, and respect and being treated with dignity. Any problems were dealt with efficiently and without fuss. This well-appointed
care home, the many activities, excellent food and wonderful caring staff are simply the best. I could not hope for anywhere better.

Littleton Lodge is the most wonderful lodge you could wish your loved one to be in when needs must. Apart from it being a new build establishment, the facilities are second to none and the building itself has been so well thought out, from layout to decor to the garden. The staff are so approachable
welcoming and caring and truly work as an extended family to your own. The food is beautiful and as a relative said 'it's like the Ritz'! Our relative is so happy in her place and is 'at home' with themselves at Littleton Lodge. I would highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone. Lovely people, first-class residency.

I have really been made to feel welcome from the day I arrived at Littleton Lodge. All the staff and management are very warm and caring and treat me with dignity and respect at all times. My family has always felt welcome and are able to visit me at any time. On the occasions I don't feel very well,
the staff always make time for me, and I never feel rushed or that I'm imposing on their time.

Mum moved to Littleton Lodge on 4th July 2022 and since this time I cannot find any fault against both home and the staff. Everything is exemplary and excellent. Mum has Alzheimer's and forgets what she has been doing on a daily basis. The social media page is a godsent. I can look each day and see
what activities mum has participated in. I can see mum undertaking activities she hasn't done in years. I would recommend Littleton Lodge 100%.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Littleton Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. It’s so important to our care team at Littleton Lodge that our residents feel encouraged to take advantage of our activities and entertainment facilities, so that they can live each day to its fullest.

Care was good generally but management made very poor decisions (purely based on hearsay) that resulted in contract being terminated without giving any notice leaving my uncle homeless.
They advised they could no longer provide his care despite him having lived there for 2 weeks and no issues arising.
The
family should have been consulted and a notice period given. The stress and anxiety on him on the day of his eviction cannot be forgiven.
Our feeling is they were more worried about their reputation than his welfare. Their excuse was "we need to consider welfare of other residents" but he had done nothing to give them any cause for concern during his 2-week stay. After many hours of negotiations, they found him a respite home nearby but was only a short-term solution and would have meant him moving again which was not acceptable and unfair so we declined and brought him to live with family until a permanent place could be found. Decision was inhumane. Formal complaint raised and escalated to CQC.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Littleton Lodge. Didn't know what to expect never having done this before. I was more than surprised. It was more like a hotel than a care home. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

This care provider can consider itself more a family home than a care facility. The staff are friendly, and considerate and have the residents well being as a top priority. The home is only a year old it is bright, modern and always spotlessly clean - a credit to the staff. I cannot comment on food
or activities as covid has provided a real challenge. But now the home is opening its doors and 'breathing'

My wife stayed from Monday 28th March to Monday 11th April 2022 while I had a short break from being her 24/7 carer for the past several months. As a family, we felt we made a good choice my wife had a few health issues prior to staying culminating in the paramedics taking her to hospital on three occasions
during this time the staff looked after my wife very well.

Not recommended for Dementia Care. Littleton Lodge state that they provide Dementia Care, so we booked Dad in for a 2 week respite stay, with a view to extending this to long term if appropriate. After a few days, advised by the centre manager that his level of dementia (medium) was more than they could
accommodate (even though we did describe his condition very thoroughly during the assessment interview), and they were concerned about how his behaviour was affecting other residents. Very limited respite to family, telephone conversations consisted of reading his issues – left us feeling guilty and anxious that he was a challenge to them. Home itself is immaculate and very well-equipped, staff are friendly and accommodating. Infrastructure does not currently allow for differentiation between levels of Dementia care – ideal for general residential care, but unable to support more challenging behaviours - anything beyond very low level Dementia may be an issue to them.

Such a lovely welcoming home from home. The staff can't do enough for my dad. He always looks so smart when we pick him up to go out. He smiles more now and thoroughly enjoyed the quiz at the local pub.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Littleton Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 41 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 4.856 for Littleton Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (424 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 486 Ratings = 4.856

  • 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 Littleton 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, 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.
