Care staff are excellent and treat everyone well. Uncle is always well dressed in matching outfits and clothes are very well laundered. Perhaps due to COVID regulations but only a minor issue, is visitors having to phone to arrange appointments to visit and wait until reception staff are free to escort
to the resident's room. It would be nice if visitors were able to access the coffee matching and other facilities.

Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home

Many thanks for your feedback regarding the excellent care your uncle receives. With reference to visiting, we are following Government guidelines which are changing all of the time and hopefully there will be further lifting of restrictions soon.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have waited nearly 4 months to submit my review so that I can give an honest review of my experience. I spent a lot of time researching and visiting numerous homes as I wanted to find the right place for my mum who has advanced dementia. Initially, I was a little apprehensive as the home was relatively
new so there was little feedback/reviews to read so I visited twice to view the facilities and on both occasions was made to feel very welcome. 4 months on and I am absolutely convinced Kirk Lane was the right decision for Mum, myself and our family. The staff are extremely caring and so friendly and I know Mum is in very safe hands and is very well looked after. Little touches make all the difference - Mum's first great-grandchild was born at Xmas and unbeknown to us until we visited, a staff member had a photo of the baby printed out and framed and placed by Mum's bed so she could see him - we were so touched by that. Mum is properly cared for in a wonderful caring environment.

My gran was the second resident into this absolutely stunning care facility. Even before she was in Kirk Lane the staff were going above and beyond to ensure her care needs were met and put in place and that we, as a family, were completely satisfied before she moved in. Unfortunately, she has dementia,
however, she is fully accommodated for, and everything from her personal needs to her health and wellbeing is looked after. The chef even makes food to order for the residents which is fabulous for people such as my gran who are quite specific about the food they eat and how things are cooked. Every need is considered. I could not recommend Kirk Lane highly enough to anybody who needs full-time caring. The staff are wonderful and really know how to build lovely, trusting, and caring relationships with not only the residents but their families too.

Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Kirk Lane Home

Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback that will be shared with the team. It is a pleasure welcoming new residents and getting to know families. We are delighted that you are so pleased with your gran's care at Kirk Lane - and so lovely that she is enjoying her meals!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.976)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.976) out of 10 for Kirk Lane Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.976 for Kirk Lane Home is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 Kirk Lane Home is based on 14 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.
