I have received nothing but friendliness and reassurance from all of the staff during, what for me was a daunting task. The whole atmosphere is calm and safe. I was pleased that social outings were available and my partner is becoming more settled as each day goes by. Many thanks to the staff, keep
up your good work.

Mum has been at Heald Lodge for several years.
We are very happy with the care and support she receives there. Staff are very caring and patient, Mum likes the food and care is taken to keep people safe. The home has good facilities and keeps residents entertained with various activities. We are pleased
we chose the home, they work hard to make it feel homely with a family atmosphere.

My mother has been in Herald Lodge for 2 years and she is so happy to be there. She feels safe, she tells me how well she is looked after and how good the food is. She enjoys the recreational activities.
The staff have been very pleasant to talk to and keep me well informed of any occurrences involving
Mum and hospital and doctor visits.
I am very pleased with how my mother is looked after. Thank you to all the staff, for how you all look after my mother.

My mother moved in last year and the care and support she has received from the staff at Herald Lodge has been amazing. Their care with dignity has supported the self-respect of my mother as they recognise her capacities and capabilities. Their respect for what she can do, the way they took the time
to find out who she is and the life she has lived have been great in making her feel comfortable in her new environment over the past months.
I must also say that the support they have given me whilst I have adjusted to this new situation has been appreciated. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they always keep me up-to-date on how she is which has made the transition in this situation easier to cope with.

Reply from Lindsey Rudd, Customer Care Administrator at Herald Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is so important to find out as much about our residents as we can in order to do all we can to make them feel settled and at home quickly. We also know the importance of supporting families and loved ones to ensure a smooth transition. It's wonderful to hear this is having such a positive impact.

We were very pleased to find this care home for my mum and lucky that they had a room available for her at short notice. It was an anxious time for Mum as she had really wanted to stay in her own home. However, we found a true 'home from home' in Herald Lodge and everything possible was done to make
the transition as easy as possible for us all. The home is warm and comfortable and the facilities are excellent. Everything is spotless and Mum seemed very happy in her room. Every member of staff from managers to carers and domestic staff were kind and supportive and they could not have done more to help Mum and the family. Nothing was too much trouble. Sadly Mum's stay in Herald Lodge was short and she did not get to experience the many activities on offer. I know she would have enjoyed them as there was always something going on that residents could choose to do. Many thanks to all staff for providing outstanding care to my mum, we will never forget your kindness and support.

It took my partner a little time to settle during which the staff showed great sensitivity to both her and me. She is now very happy, calm and settled in the environment. I am at the home frequently and can only say that the level of care, concern and dedication of the staff to all the residents is
to an exceptionally high standard. Choosing a care home is a traumatic experience and I visited a good number before making my choice. I don't have any regrets and we are both happy people.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Herald Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review. We know it can be difficult when someone moves to a care home but we know that the support and care that our wonderful team shows can be just what they need to help new residents settle. We are so pleased you are happy with your choice and that we can continue to make you both happy.

Every time I visit Dad seems very happy. He enjoys his food. He's always whistling and singing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice wide long corridors. My daughters and I are very happy with his care. The rooms are tidy. My only criticism would be there is sometimes a stale odour on the top
floor, maybe due to accidents with residents and carpet on the floor.

Mum was welcomed into the Herald Lodge family last year and the team supported her and the family with compassion, care and professionalism right to the end. Despite Mum's numerous challenges, she enjoyed her time there, her surroundings, relationships with staff and other residents and as a family
we had every confidence that Mum was not only in a caring environment but enjoyed her time there.
Mum leaves a void in us all but it’s a comfort to know she was cared for in her final months.
Thank you hardly seems enough but know that the Herald Lodge family make a real difference to people's lives. Keep up the good work and bless the staff team and residents.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Herald Lodge

My sister has been in Herald lodge for over a year now and I have found the staff cheerful, caring and attentive to her needs. She enjoys walking in the garden and taking part in the activities that are arranged for the residents. Food is plentiful and cups of tea and cake are always on offer whenever
I visit. I like the fact that the terms are all-inclusive which means she can get her hair cut or her nails trimmed regularly. I also like the fact that the staff are smartly dressed, which always presents a good image when first visiting the home.
Overall, I am very happy with the home and the care she receives.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Herald Lodge

Our all inclusive fee is designed to offer reassurance to our residents and their families that there are no hidden costs and all their needs will be taken care of.

I have nothing but admiration for the whole care team. From the moment my aunt came to visit 4 or 5 times before her admission, the ongoing care and treatment she received. She has been able to form friendships and enjoys having her hair done, and she loves the food.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Herald Lodge

Thank you for your kind words, it’s lovely to hear that your Aunt is taking advantage of all that Herald Lodge has to offer. We will pass your compliments on to the whole care team.

I visit my nan regularly, and the management and staff are so kind and always smiling. I feel the homely feel when I walk through the door and would not have my relative anywhere else. There are always activities she can join in with, and if she does not want to, they do an activity with her. So supportive
and a pleasure to have as part of our family.

My mother-in-law stayed here for about 15 months but she recently passed away. While she was there, she was looked after with so much care and love that it was a pleasure to see. The staff are wonderful. They keep you informed of everything relating to your loved one and any request is never too much
trouble. I cannot thank all of the staff enough at the home for what they did for my mother-in-law and for being so lovely and caring for her at the end. I will never forget you all.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Herald Lodge

Thank you so much for your kind words, especially at such a difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss but glad that you think we helped your mother-in-law in her final days. It is incredibly important to us that families feel reassured and informed so that we can try and ease some of the worries that we know you must feel. We are proud of the care and compassion that our staff show to our residents and their families and we can only thank you for acknowledging this here. Please remember you will always be a part of the Herald Lodge family and you will always be welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and reminisce about your mother-in-law – she will be sadly missed.

My mother stayed for three weeks and we were very pleased with all aspects of her care at the home. We would have been happy to continue at the home except that the costs are too high. Once the self-funding ends, there is still an ongoing cost of more than £700 a week, which is not sustainable, so we
have sourced another care home with lower costs.

Thank you for leaving this review for Herald Lodge. The care team will be so glad to hear you’ve been happy with your mother’s care.

Ideal care homes. The name definitely covers what you are looking for. Peace of mind and the decor of the home is exceptional throughout. The resident's room is outstanding and bathroom/en suites, the cleanliness top notch. Made mums move from respite to permanent home go smoothly. Mum has started to
join in the activities and only on the second day. This makes you know you got it right.

Reply from Rebekah Steward, Customer Care Team at Herald Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to review Herald Lodge. How lovely to hear your Mom decided to make her stay with us permanently and that she is enjoying some of the wonderful activities on offer at Herald Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Herald 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.841 for Herald Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.841

  • 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 Herald Lodge is based on 14 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
