Review from Chris S (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2017

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

In my opinion, Soham Lodge is a superb nursing/care home. Distraught at the prospect of putting mum in a nursing home, I was wary of Soham Lodge when I first visited. True, I had heard very good things about it by word of mouth (always a good sign), but I wondered how an ex-motel on the edge of one
of the busiest roads in the area could possibly be the right place for my mum in the final stages of her life.
It was clear to me within 5 minutes of being shown around that Soham Lodge was the right place for mum. Clean, safe, beautifully equipped, homely, fully staffed with a very low staff turnover - which is a huge consideration, and small enough to be truly personal (only 30 beds). The critical thing is the standard of care. Well, mum is now a very happy resident and all I can say is yes, the staff in Soham Lodge really do care and it shows. As a carer remarked: " I love what I do. Carers who do not really enjoy their work are not employed here". Enough said.

Reply from Tanya, Administrator at Soham Lodge

Dear Chris, thank you on behalf of all the staff here at Soham Lodge for your extremely kind words and the time you took to post your review. It is a pleasure to have your Mum with us and I can assure that she will be kept as happy and comfortable as possible by all the wonderful staff here.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.766)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.766) out of 10 for Soham 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.766 for Soham Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 111 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 Soham Lodge 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 10 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.
