Overall Experience

Recently my aunt has been placed at Elizabeth lodge.she went for a taster day and throughly enjoyed and did not want to come home. She has been there now for about 4 weeks and is really loving it. The staff go above and beyond and they keep the residents active with great games and interactive entertainment.

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.

Overall Experience

The staff are always friendly, helpful and attentive. They give us the assurance that we want that they care about their resident's quality of life in their later years.
The room could do with a lick of paint, is my only criticism, but otherwise very satisfied.
Value for money is hard to answer,

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

Overall Experience

Since Mum moved into Easterlea just before Christmas 2024, she had been made to feel part of the family there. All the carers are very friendly and I am made to feel part of the family on my visits there.
They have taken the time to find out about mum's interests and actively encouraged her to pursue

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.

Overall Experience

We chose this Care Home for Mum because it us relatively small (less than 20 residents) and the staff are caring, attentive and fully engaged in the well-being of the residents. I feel that the staff have come to fully know our Mum and that they genuinely care for her and about her. The management are

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

Overall Experience

My aunt was at Elizabeth Lodge for the last years of her life. All the staff carers looked after her with real affection and kindness, though I am sure she was not the easiest of residents to cope with. When admitted I expected a short stay before her demise as her health was so poor. She actually continued

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

My dad moved to EL in late 2023 (i admittedly am a huge worrier and was very nervous about moving him to a care home) but from the second he arrived I was completely put at ease. Dad was made immediately welcome, as were we as a family. I visit regularly and we are always made to feel nothing is too

much trouble. Dad is happy, well looked after, and he has a good rapport with all the carers. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

from Carla M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 1 July 2025

Overall Experience

I am really pleased with how well my mother-in-law has settled into the home and how well she is looked after. Naturally quite shy, she has made friends since moving in, & interacts with others and participates in activities far more than I had ever thought likely, or even possible.
Although her mobility

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.

Overall Experience

My father was placed at the home for three months before a gradual decline meant he had to be moved to a nursing home. In that time we built up an excellent rapport with the staff, frequently talking over Dad's needs and condition. Dad was excellently provided for with delicious meals that he was only

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.

Overall Experience

My mother was admitted to Elizabeth Lodge, at the age of 94, in May 2024, when it became clear that she was no longer capable of independent living. Her memory and cognition had deteriorated significantly over the previous year and she accepted that she needed round the clock care.
We chose Elizabeth

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.

Overall Experience

The rest home is very homely, having visited many homes for our mother-in-law, this was the home that we chose for our mother to reside in. The staff are very attentive delivering excellent care to each of the residents. My mother feels very safe in the home and has all her needs taken care of. The

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 staff at Easterlea Rest Home are all amazing. They have caring attitudes and have shown so much kindness towards our mother. They make relatives feel so welcome and have shown understanding and compassion when first settling mum into the home. The care home is smaller compared to some others but

the regular staff more than make up for it.

My mother, who has vascular dementia, went to Elizabeth Lodge Rest Home on the 18th of April 2023 for two weeks. It is the second time my mother has been in here and she was looked after very well. All my family that visited Mom up to the 27th of April 2023, when she came out, remarked to me how kindly

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

Overall Experience

I have struggled with the decision to put my mum in a home which was something she did not want but what a difference in her she is so happy. She came to the home in a very bad state having been in a 6 week placement and was so depressed and was recovering from Covid that made her seriously ill. Within

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.

Overall Experience

My father moved into Elizabeth Lodge last year and has now been there for 6 months. From the moment he first moved in the care and welcome has been first class. All the staff are friendly and approachable and take a great pride in their work and show a genuine care for their residents. The home has

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.

Overall Experience

My father visited Elizabeth Lodge when my mother-in-law was a resident and made a passing comment that, were he ever to end up in a care home, he'd like to be somewhere like this. Be careful what you wish for; a few years later, when he became unable to live independently and suffering from some medical

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.
