Acorn Lodge is a well-respected care home in Nuneaton that has facilities for residential, dementia or short-term respite care.

Just a short bus ride from the town centre, the home happily accommodates couples and companions who wish to remain together as they continue their care journey and make new memories side by side.

All rooms are furnished to a high standard and the spacious lounges offer opportunities for socialising and participating in activities. All residents are able to enjoy communal films in their cinema and get their hair done in the hair salon.

Our friend has been staying at this residential care home for the past 3 1/2 years. Our friend is very happy here. There is regular entertainment (under normal circumstances Pre Covid 19 ). She has her hair done weekly, and she is very pleased with the care she is provided with. She is very happy with
the food and all of the staff. We feel that the establishment is well run, very clean, well decorated and is furnished to a high standard.
All of the staff are also very caring and happy; I particularly like the manager, the girls on reception and everyone else that works here.
To know our friend is in such a lovely place is comforting for us and we do not worry about our dear friend.

Reply from Jacky West, Home Manager at Acorn Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your lovely review, it's so nice to hear that you are so happy with everything here, and it's our pleasure to look after your friend. I will ensure that your kind words and review are shared with all of the staff team.

Mum has been a resident for over two years. She has been well looked after and is very happy there. The staff are very caring, which is very important to me as I do not live locally. They are always happy to answer my questions when I phone Mum. During this difficult time, I have felt relieved to know
Mum is safe and that the staff are working extremely hard to keep the residents safe.

Reply from Angus Matthew, Senior Marketing Manager at Acorn Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you so much for your review. I am very happy to hear that you are happy with the care and standard of the home at Acorn Lodge and I will ensure that your comments are forwarded to all of the staff.

Mum has been a resident since February 2018 and in all of the time that she has been there, her care has been excellent. The staff are so friendly, helpful and professional, nothing is too much trouble. Mum has always been happy and contented when we have visited her.
During this recent time of uncertainty
the staff have been exceptional, their understanding, care and support has never altered.
Well done and thank you to you all.

When mum came into here 18 months ago she was unable to do a lot of things especially those she enjoyed. With encouragement from the staff, she has greatly improved. They have helped her master her mobile phone so she can keep in touch with myself and my siblings. In particular, one carer has helped
and encouraged her with her knitting she now knits toys like she used to and says she can do it.
This carer takes the toys home and sews them up and fills them with stuffing for her and brings them back so she can display them in her room. She also has been encouraged to join in activities and mix with residents.

Mum has been at Acorn Lodge for just over 1 1/2 years and in this time has been extremely well cared for. I, as her daughter, can rest easy knowing that she is well looked after. The home itself is lovely and the staff can't do enough for you, they are very approachable and if you need any help and
assistance they are always willing to help.

Lovely, caring staff. Looked after my mother for two weeks respite. She was so happy at Acorn Lodge and enjoyed the activities on offer. The rooms and facilities are clean and bright and the atmosphere friendly. I and my family would be happy to recommend the care home for either a short break or a
permanent residence.

My Dad has been at Acorn Lodge since May 2018. He came straight from hospital, having had a nasty fall. He receives a high level of care and support and his health has improved significantly. The staff are busy but always quick to help when needed. The home is very welcoming and we now have peace of
mind.

I visited a resident of Acorn Lodge care home today.
I was impressed with the home, this was my first visit. The home was clean and well appointed, with lovely gardens. I visited the resident's room which was comfortable and had some personal photos in.
The staff were cheerful, pleasant and very caring
and helpful.
I was pleasantly surprised. The home was like a five-star hotel.

Mum has been encouraged to take up knitting again.
She couldn't stand, let alone walk, which has come on fabulously.
Mum is much happier here than she has been for the last couple of years.
Staff here are friendly, welcoming and now feel like extended family.
Mum is in safe hands.

Overall the care and attention afforded to the residents seem to be of a high quality from my observations when I am visiting (twice a week). However, I have not visited any other homes so cannot give a comparison. The high turnover of management-level staff is concerning! Not all organisational changes
are thought through e.e., seating in the upstairs lounge area is now very difficult to navigate and not5 really conducive to conversation - visitor to resident!

My mother moved into Acorns from another care facility in October and from the start, the care she has received has been brilliant. The surroundings are modern and suitable for her needs. There is a stimulating entertainment programme, painting, visiting singers and entertainers, even a petting pony.
On a recent emergency visit to the hospital, a Carer went with her until I could arrive. The ratio of staff is really good. They are even helping to arrange her 100th birthday in June!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Acorn Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.958 for Acorn Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Acorn Lodge Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 10 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. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.833

  • 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.
