From the beginning, all worry and doubt about putting Mum in a care home evaporated when we saw the excellent level of care provided. She has been made to feel loved and respected at all times and everyone has gone above and beyond in ensuring her evolving needs have been met.
The staff (all of them)
are what makes Acacia Lodge so special. The atmosphere is very friendly and always cheerful. Communication with relatives has been excellent and very much appreciated by all of us.

I simply wanted my mother to have care and be treated with respect but I got so much more. At Acacia Lodge staff understand that elderly residents are individuals, had full lives and need patience to help them adjust to being reliant on others now. My mother has seen the doctor, nurses, chiropodist,
hairdresser, visually impaired coordinator, has had checkups, plays scrabble and bingo plus more and uses the minibus. Acacia Lodge is well run and staff are held accountable. Mum is not shut away in her room. Doors are open, staff are visible, a cleaner is always around; it is a sociable floor. Nothing seems too much trouble when you ask at reception.

Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with Acacia Lodge. We are truly touched by your kind words.

I have a good relationship with the staff at Acacia Lodge.
My relative is well cared for and any concerns I have expressed have been dealt with promptly.
On my relative's birthday, I was invited to attend the care home and have lunch with her. It was a lovely experience, made more special as the
staff had made sure my relative's Christmas tablecloth was in place on our table.
She recently had her vision tested by a dementia-friendly visiting Optician company. The service was excellent however it did take a long while to arrange, despite being told her name was on a waiting list.
Generally, I am very pleased with the care my relative receives.

We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback and the trust you place in the care provided at Acacia Lodge. It's heartening to hear that you have a good relationship with our staff and that your relative is well-cared for. We're glad that any concerns you've raised have been promptly addressed, emphasising our commitment to open communication and responsiveness.

Mum was in two minds about moving into a care home and needed a little while to settle in. But after a month or two I can see that she absolutely loves everyone that looks after her. So much so that she says they feel like family. Everyone I have come into contact with is so friendly and genuinely cares
that my mum is well looked after and happy. She really enjoys the food there and loves a giggle with the staff. There are also sometimes quizzes/bingo/singers which she really enjoys and family are often invited to come along too. It is nice to have peace of mind that Mum is being looked after and is happy.

My husband has been looked after with care and compassion every day since he moved into the care home. When he could communicate, he used often to thank the staff for the help they were giving him. But now that he cannot communicate, and is unable to do anything for himself, he is obviously content,

Acacia Lodge has been great for my mum from day 1. I was worried and unsure, as I promised her I would never put her in a care home, this will haunt me forever as I had no choice in the end. The staff are amazing and care for Mum exceptionally well. The activities are brilliant and a lot of thought
and time goes into all of them. Mum is very settled, happy and I’m so glad I chose Acacia for Mum to enjoy life with so many other people and great surroundings within the home. I would highly recommend this care home, which is run exceptionally well.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.770)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) out of 10 for Acacia Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.770 for Acacia Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 291 Ratings = 4.77

  • 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 Acacia Lodge is based on 25 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 25 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.

Wendy

Wendy Fricker

Job Title: Lifestyle Lead

Joined: 2013

Hi, my name is Wendy!
I began my employment at Acacia Lodge in 2013 in the Housekeeping Department but soon realised that doing activities was something I wanted to try and would enjoy.
When the opportunity arose I applied for the role immediately. My manager has been my mentor and adviser and has encouraged me to keep the momentum going with everything I plan. Thelma nominated me for the Care Home Awards in 2018 and I made it to the final seven. A proud moment!


The best part of my role is bringing joy and laughter and creating special moments with our residents, families and staff. Offering reassurance and a hug to residents when needed is also so important to me. A chat and a cup of tea go a long way to making someone feel wanted or respected.


My role is important because, without the daily stimulation of activity, it is easy to become withdrawn, lethargic and poorly. Using my person-centred care skills I endeavour to make sure that everything is an activity, from care to meal times. Activities cover many daily tasks as well as the usual fun things.
