I highly recommend the Lodge in all respects.

and helpful.
It was a pleasure to visit my mother whilst she was in the Lodge and to have lunch with her on a number of occasions. The food was delicious.

of feeding him by hand, moving him by hoist, dressing him etc. They carried out these tasks with kindness, good humour and respect. Here are some of the key good points regarding the Lodge:
- kind and patient staff,
- warm, very pleasant atmosphere,
- excellent freshly prepared food,
- responsive and organised management,
- experienced, professional and compassionate nursing team.
During the final week of my father's life, the staff at the Lodge were outstandingly kind. They spoke to us with compassion and brought us coffee, cake and meals by Dad's bedside so we could stay by him during his final hours. Thanks to the Lodge, my Dad had a peaceful and gentle passing. Thank you.

Mum's stay was brief but we could not have asked for more from start to finish. Thank you team.

she was being looked after so well when I went home. Thank you.

exception and always had a smile and a few words of encouragement.

Exmouth where she could enjoy fish and chips!! Hairdresser, chiropody, optician and visiting dentist are all available to all residents if needed. The Lodge entertainment is very varied from crafts, Summer Fayre, visits from local organisations and recently the commencement of their own choir. All this mum enjoyed although she may not have participated in everything!! Staff always made us welcome and encouraged relatives and friends to participate. Mum passed away recently and we were well looked after during this sad time with comforting coffee and hugs. The background staff (admin, catering etc) are worthy of note as well - to the whole team, we thank you for everything

provided is freshly cooked on site and a good menu selection. There are always plenty of activities available and regular visits from entertainers. Would recommend without hesitation.

care and attention to residents' needs is what makes this place stand out. I'd highly recommend The Lodge.

as well as the hospitality staff and other teams.
In addition, I was really reassured to have professional nurses monitoring the medication, especially the heavy-duty painkillers, and to have the personal care support. The Lodge also arranged a session with a physiotherapist which was a turning point as it gave me the confidence to move about more and understand how to manage the discomfort. I would not have had any of this at home.
I would not hesitate to recommend The Lodge to anyone with similar needs.

support, she got there and she had a beautiful room overlooking the garden which she loved. She was free to potter; to join in any activities she wished to which were very professional, and included outside speakers and interesting subjects, which she enjoyed. Also, lovely day trips out. Throughout her stay, she was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Her carers knew and managed her expectations well to the very end and there is quality in everything the Lodge team do for their residents; beautiful buildings and gardens, immaculately clean, fabulous care and wonderful food but most of all in my case, the general manager and her team's ability to involve me too. A huge thank you!

are grateful to all the staff. Special thanks from me to the receptionists that would run upstairs with the phone without complaint, just friendly greeting!

grateful to you all. Those extra years were entirely due to how safe and content she felt. The Lodge team helped support us right through to the end and beyond. All the team have been exceptionally kind, supportive and sensitive.

was too much trouble. The general manager would often call in for a chat and always made sure he was happy. She always had his best interests at heart and her aim was to make him feel as much at home as possible.
Choosing a nursing care home for a loved one is possibly one of the most difficult tasks a family may have to do but we chose well. I would therefore highly recommend The Lodge in Exeter.

comfort as a priority. As next of kin, I felt listened to and supported at what was an extremely difficult time. It is of no surprise that many staff stay working there for years! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly can’t recommend The Lodge highly enough.

to meet dietary needs. Interesting activities and gentle encouragement to residents to participate. Nothing to fault at all.
