As a family we honestly cannot thank everyone for their kindness, compassion and excellent care of our Mother. Mam is thriving and so very happy, the care and compassion shown towards her is heartwarming for us as a family. The positive culture and obvious Team ethos is tangible, and seeing such happy
staff ensures that the residents are also relaxed and feel truly valued. It is an absolute joy to visit Glenburnie Lodge - not only do the residents receive the highest quality of care and treated with dignity, but we as family members also feel extremely welcome, it really is a home from home. Glenburnie Lodge is an excellent Care Home and we feel very fortunate that Mam has found such a lovely place to live.

Thanks for your time this evening and it was good to know both matters I raised are in hand. I also should have added that you have a very engaging and positive team who strive to give the residents the best care and love they can, even after what sometimes must be a long hard working day. The home
made dessert of apple pie and bread and butter pudding are a particular treat.

Reply from Jacqueline Orrells, Managing Director at Glenburnie Lodge

Thank you for your review. I am glad that your concerns were resolved, we always strive to put things right where needed. I agree the team are amazing and they are so kind. I am glad that your mum is enjoying the homemade apple pie and bread and butter pudding.

I wasn't aware that such a place existed. It's permanently changed my view on the care home sector! It's made me consider my own plans, post retirement, even though that is someway off. I could stay here now, it's that nice and that well equipped. In short, I don't think it would be possible to achieve
a better standard for a care home, it's wonderful.

Reply from Jacqueline Orrells, Managing Director at Glenburnie Lodge

Thank you Nick for your very kind words. Your mum has settled well and enjoys being part of the activities within the home. She has made relationships with the ladies and gents as well as the staff.

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!

I am so happy and relieved that my husband has been able to come to Glenburnie Lodge as it just feels like a welcome home from home. The thought that has been put into everything, dignity and care for patients and family first and foremost. All staff are so caring and thoughtful, my husband has not
looked better than he does for a long time. The meals and cake etc are absolutely superb. We are blessed to have found such a caring home/community.

Glenburnie Lodge surpassed all of our expectations. My dad is looked after so well with dignity and expertise. Glenburnie is such a happy and relaxed place, I just loved spending time here with my dad and the staff. The food is incredible and my dad is looking the best he's looked in a while. We cannot

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.870)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.870) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.941 for Glenburnie Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.941

  • 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 4.929 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glenburnie Lodge is based on 13 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.929

  • 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.
