Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

In my opinion the staff and local management are the most important aspects of any care home. In the case of Warren Lodge I have found the staff without exception to be caring and efficient. Obviously well trained but although probably poorly paid I have seen so many examples of carers and nurses going
"the extra mile" in looking after the residents. They are in the main happy in their work. My wife has been resident there for 28 months and is very well looked after and is as happy as it is possible for her to be under the circumstances. It is a great consolation to me and my family that her care is so good. Any health problems are quickly dealt with. I have visited at various times during the day and have been impressed by the fact that the staff are always welcoming and take a genuine interest in my health and welfare. Indeed I will go so far as to say that I regard them as a kind of extended family. The manager is relatively new to Warren Lodge but held a useful relatives meeting recently and was very receptive to relatives comments. We have already noticed some improvements and expect this to continue. It seems that the excellent housekeeping staff are somewhat understaffed as at times the rooms are not cleaned as thoroughly or as soon as I would like, I can see that they work extremely hard but clearly do not have sufficient time for the amount of work they are expected to do. This is one area where there is scope for improvement. I frequently have lunch with my wife in the dining room and generally find the food to be of a good standard with a variety of vegetables included. In the description of the home there is reference to the cinema, I am disappointed that this is unused as it is well appointed. I regularly make use of the Relatives Room where my wife and I can enjoy watching a DVD in a quiet comfortable space by ourselves. The gardens leave a lot to be desired but the new manager has said she will ensure that improvements to this aspect of the home are undertaken soon.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Warren Lodge Care Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.789 for Warren Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.789

  • 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 Warren Lodge Care Home is based on 15 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 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.

Akin Oyelekan

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

I joined the team at Warren Lodge at the end of 2022 after working in the care sector for over 18 years. I hold an MBA, a BSc, a Level 5 NVQ in Health and Social Care and a Registered Manager (Adults) Award.


Having worked for several leading care companies in the capacity of leadership, management, and commissioning services, I have extensive experience in managing care homes for older people, including people who live with dementia, learning/physical disabilities, and mental health conditions. I also have a wealth of experience when it comes to managing larger teams. My motto is to “provide a service we and our loved ones would like to receive”.


I love the fact that no two days are the same. I enjoy seeing how the care we provide makes a difference in our residents' quality of life. I’m passionate about elderly and dementia care, quality improvement and the provision of compassionate person-centred care to all our residents. I’m also passionate about motivating team members for career progression, team member well-being and clinical education and improvement.


I’m a family-oriented person, I love travelling and meeting new people. I have recently relocated from London to Kent and I’m loving it.
