Proud to win the Care Home of the Year Award in the National Care Awards 2024, the team at Bartley Green Lodge are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents.

They support them to have an active role to play in how their home is run. There are a team of resident ambassadors, who do everything from supporting the home manager to interviewing potential staff, to providing feedback at residents’ meetings.

The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy, from live music, animal visits and pampering in the salon and nail bar, where a hairdresser visits weekly, to trips to local garden centres and community coffee mornings.

The team embrace the local community into life at Bartley Green, taking the residents to places like the nearby social club and out for pub lunches. And local school children are always greeted by beaming smiles when they visit.

The residents and team were so proud to win a £10,000 garden makeover in an internal competition run by the home’s provider Sanctuary Care, creating their own designs for a dream garden, with wooden pergolas, raised planters and a polytunnel.

As such the gardens have been a hub of activity this summer, with the residents growing everything from lettuce and carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. They were proud to harvest their produce for the chef to use in the kitchen.

Delicious home-cooked food is served in the dining rooms, with freshly-baked cakes for afternoon tea. And the residents and their loved ones have taster sessions, to give their feedback on the seasonal menus.

Bartley Green also has welcoming lounge areas and a vintage café, where residents can socialise and spend time with loved ones, who are welcome at any time.

Grandad has been at Bartley Green Lodge from March 2019 and since being a resident, he has been in great hands. The staff are so kind and caring. During the Covid-19 lockdown, Grandad celebrated his 90th birthday, the staff went above and beyond to ensure he had a great day and celebrated in style.
We can't thank the staff enough for organising it and the care they have given in our absence during this pandemic. It was great to be able to visit today and see Grandad at a safe two-meter distance, he looked so well and happy. Thanks to the manager for organising it and a big thank you to all your staff for being so caring.

Our mom went into Bartley Green Lodge in October 2019. We left her worried and concerned we had done the right thing. Well we did, Mom has settled so well. Mom is very happy and contented. The staff are absolutely brilliant, nothing is to much trouble. They continue to encourage Mom's independence and
encourage her to take part in daily activities. During this Covid-19 it has been really hard not to be able to visit as we would, but staff have done everything they can to enable communication one way or another. Wonderful team and Mom is very happy there. Thank you Bartley Green Lodge.

Caring for a relative is always a concern, but through this difficult period I would like to thank the amazing staff for their continued outstanding care for my dad and their support for our family. We have been encouraged to phone and Facetime him regularly in the absence of face to face visits, even
though the day to day routines for staff are as busy as ever. The staff have enabled him to communicate with us using an iPad and they have provided fun, engaging and relaxing activities throughout which we get to see as videos and photographs to share with the wider family, this has helped us enormously. He tells us regularly that he is very happy and relaxed and this means everything to us. Thank you to the Bartley Green Lodge family for making this difficult period as normal as possible for us all.

The staff at Bartley Green Lodge are so kind and caring, always showing 100% dedication and commitment to looking after all the residents. In March, the home went into lockdown and the staff have worked hard to keep relatives updated about their loved ones. Throughout these very difficult months, Bartley
Green Lodge staff have been exceptional. Thank you.

Mom has been at Bartley Green for three years now. The staff have always been kind, caring and supportive. Their dedication and kindness shine through every time we visit and especially so in these unprecedented times we find ourselves in. I have been kept up to date and the staff have been keeping
Mom and all the residents positive and as engaged as they can.

A fabulous team that have gone above and beyond to care for my mother during Covid-19. They have done everything possible to keep them active, comfortable and happy. The personal care has continued using every possible safe distancing but as we can all appreciate, must be so difficult. This is not only
difficult for me as a daughter but for the staff as mothers/fathers daughters/sons grandmothers/ fathers. They all need a medal. Well done everyone, we are so grateful for all you have done and are still doing. Keep up the fabulous work!

They have been exceptional during the Covid-19 major crisis phase, keeping residents and staff as safe as possible. Exceptional all round!

My mother passed away on 27th May and had a wonderful 8 months in the home. The staff brought her back to her old self and she volunteered to go on any event or activity. They couldn't get her to sing any better but oh they were so brilliant during the lockdown. I cannot speak highly enough of them,
particularly of the staff on the tulip ward. When we couldn't visit, we still had videos to enjoy and keep for our memories.

As Covid 19 lockdown approached, we had to make the difficult decision to put Nan into a home as she was unable to look after herself and her dementia had deteriorated. From the moment we arrived Nan was welcomed and settled down as we couldn’t go in with her. We have regular updates and everyone goes
over and beyond to help. Nan has managed to put on weight and from the pictures really looks like she is enjoying the company and interacting with others. I couldn’t recommend Bartley Green Lodge enough to anyone taking that difficult step in choosing a care home for a loved one.

During this awful pandemic, our mum has struggled with not being able to get close to us, but all the staff have encouraged phone calls and video chats. We were also allowed to stand at the wall overlooking the garden so she could see us from a distance. Within the home, activities have been amazing,
keeping spirits up with all residents. Everyone working during this time is brilliant, sending photos and videos to family members and this always puts a smile on our faces. Well done Bartley Green Lodge.

My mum has been under the care of Bartley Green Lodge for almost 7 years and throughout they have cared in a very compassionate way, ensuring her emerging care needs are met as the illness has progressed. The management and staff genuinely care for the resident's health, well being and emotional needs
and work hard to maintain a calm peaceful and interactive atmosphere. The weekly visit from the hairdresser is always welcome as is the variety of entertainment and activities. It’s very warm and welcoming and the choice of food is nutritious and plentiful too.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.880 for Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home is based on 22 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 22 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.
