Care Homes Owned by David J Mitchell

There are a few issues that we are having with her integrating which I have been worrying about, however the staff have measured me it is nothing they have not already seen and not to worry. The food is lovely and she is looking more healthy and has had her hair and nails done . There is a good mix of ages of the staff. The place is so clean and smells like a house not a hospital this is their home so that is how it should be.

as cannot compare it to other establishments so think my rating is fair.

them. Being a keen gardener, mum has had an active role in getting the garden summer ready, from advising about suitable plants through to planning and planting them out. Nothing is too much trouble for the carers and I feel happy knowing that mum is in a safe and caring environment.

always on hand to listen to feedback and take steps to adress any concerns. We feel relieved to have found a welcoming and caring home for Mum and believe she is happy there. I can't praise the hard working staff enough

with an improved quality of life for several years. It just shows what can be achieved with good care.

activities. I feel mum is safe and well looked after.

has declined over the last year, she has been given a walker and a fall pendant to support her independence..
I have been very impressed by communication from the home (medical reviews/ requests for items she needs renewing or replacing/ etc).
As a result of eating so well, my mother-in-law has put on weight & required new underwear, trousers and slippers!
She has suffered some health issues over the last year & these have all been dealt with in exemplary fashion.
I have every confidence in the manager: she is happy to be transparent with record keeping & has allowed us to check records (sleep/ medication logs/ etc), without any notification. I have found this immensely reassuring.

too happy to finish. All the staff were easy to approach and speak to about Dad's progress. Activities were regular, with stimulating content and from what I witnessed many of the residents seem to really enjoy the variety. Anyone who gets a placement at the home will have fallen on their feet.

Lodge after viewing several care homes in the area and were impressed by the atmosphere, as well as the managers and carers.
My mother settled in and she found friends among the other residents quickly. The carers are excellent - they are always positive and cheerful - and nothing ever appears to be too much trouble for them. The managers are always available to answer questions and answer any questions we might raise. While her mood may fluctuate as a consequence of her dementia, there is no doubt that she is far healthier and safer than would have been the case had she continued to live on her own. We are very happy that her psychological, social and physical needs are being met totally.

staff and especially the managers of the home, are particularly hands on with the care and they are always available to listen to any minor issues that we may have and always take action on the issues. The introduction of the nourish system has been great and means that we can see at any time how my mother is and what she has been doing, together with the people who have visited her. As she has the onset of dementia she does not remember a lot of things, but with nourish, we can see what has been happening and prompt her to make conversation during our visit.

the regular staff more than make up for it.

they were all treated in visiting. She was always clean, well-dressed and very happy.

2 weeks she was happier and started to put on weight and a year on and she is a different person. The care is so good and they are treated like this is their home. If they want to stay in bed longer they can. Games is fun for them and I would like to thank the management, nursing staff, games staff etc a big thank you for looking after my mum so well. This is a first class home and if I could recommend it anymore I would. It’s a smaller care home where the care is exemplary.

a regular programme of visitors, providing for hairdressing and chiropody and external entertainment. The medical care has been very good with the home quickly responding to any changes to dad’s health and providing effective liaison with the Nurses Hub or doctor’s surgery when necessary. A phrase often used by staff is that this is the residents home, there are no restrictions on visits and overall it has a very homely feel. There is always plenty of home cooked food and the home is always very clean and nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. Overall, my dad is very happy at Elizabeth Lodge and I along with my dad’s family are very pleased with the environment and care provided.

issuers - he moved in. The care has been exemplary. Not just the physical care but the friendly, personal interaction, the activities, and the trips out. The medical care was outstanding when he suffered complications of his existing medical issues and developed further ones. We were always confident that not only was he in safe hands but that he was receiving the best care. The ethos of the home that the home is the residents own is reflected in the socialisation, plentiful home-cooked meals and regular visits from opticians, hairdressers, chiropodists, singers and entertainers, and of course, the local district nurses. The home is kept immaculately clean, and nothing is too much trouble.
