I did not rate activities because I did not participate as I have had spinal surgery but the lady seems very enthusiastic. My overall experience has been wonderful, five-star luxury. I think the care has been exemplary.

My mother had the very best support anyone could wish for at Glenburnie Lodge. Every member of the plays their part. They gave love in copious amounts to Mum and all of the family. When days were good and continue now things are clearly dark. We could never have foreseen what end of life would be like
and to be honest Glenburnie Lodge has exceeded our expectations. I personally couldn't be more grateful. My mum deserves the best and she got it!

Reply from Jacqueline Orrells, Managing Director at Glenburnie Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure to support your mum and the team loved her. When somebody comes to live at Glenburnie Lodge then their family is important to us as well, we will always strive to support them as best we can.

I am delighted with everything, Mum's room is lovely, the whole building is very light and cheery with a beautiful garden which I'm sure will come into its own come spring/summer next year. The most important thing for me is that I feel Mum is in competent hands, all the staff are fabulous, it's a home-from-home
situation.

Reply from Jacqueline Orrells, Managing Director at Glenburnie Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased that your mum has settled well and is enjoying life at Glenburnie Lodge. It is also important that the family are happy too. We are also looking forward to seeing the garden bloom in the spring!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.306)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.306) out of 10 for Glenburnie 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.935 for Glenburnie Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.935

  • 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 4.371 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glenburnie Lodge is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.571

  • 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.
