Review of
Rowan Lodge
from David K (Husband of Resident) published on 29 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am very grateful for the excellent and comprehensive care which my wife received while she was resident in Rowan Lodge for seven months in 2025. That care has significantly improved her general health, mobility and alertness, and has enabled her to return to her own beloved home a few days ago. I

should also like to praise the staff in all levels at Rowan Lodge for their unfailing helpfulness, courtesy and friendliness to the residents and their visitors. During my visits I was always favourably impressed by the effective management of Rowan Lodge, its cleanliness and its attractive environment. I would certainly recommend Rowan Lodge as very suitable for anyone needing respite of long-term care.

I am very pleased with dad's care so far. I have made very regular visits and always the care home is clean, well staffed and welcoming. At a difficult time for the family we feel fully confident in the level of nursing, care and support dad has received. A very well run care home with an excellent

reputation.

Cedar Lodge
from Christina M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad came here as a long term resident in August this year and I cannot fault Cedar Lodge in any way. I would give them 10 /5 if I could. Wonderful, caring, kind, considerate, gentle, very experienced staff; brain and body stimulating exercises every single day, lovely food in a superclean, high priority

safety aware environment.
My dad came here slumped forward in a wheelchair sleeping most of the day and after only 7 weeks with a free physio programme is walking around on a frame, chatting to everyone and joining in with everything on offer.
I cannot fault this fantastic home; it's very family oriented and actually reminds me of a cruise ship for elderly people, their entertainment schedule is second to none !! A massive thankyou to Nenita the lovely manager and all her team for going above and beyond in changing my dad's whole life.
I would thoroughly recommend it and the whole place should get "outstanding"
I have no idea what extra they could do to improve comfort !

from Mark D (Son of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Holly Lodge provided exceptional care for my mother for 2 1/2 years. The staff showed exceptional care and respect for Mum as her health became weaker. Mum enjoyed so many activities at Holly Lodge, we were so grateful for all the staff for the love and care which they showed to Mum and the other residents.

We are very happy to recommend Holly Lodge.

Cedar Lodge
from B N (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident of Cedar Lodge for three years and we are so lucky to have found such a warm, caring and very professionally run home for her. After respite periods in another couple of homes in the area, we quickly realised the extent to which the team at Cedar Lodge goes above and beyond

in the care they provide. Staff are always friendly, responsive, on top of mum's current needs and medical appointments and importantly she has developped close bonds with many of them. The addition of the coffee shop area has been wonderful, allowing residents to receive multiple visitors in a welcoming environment and for the Lodge to host more events with family and friends. They are to be commended for coming up with new and varied activities, mum particularly enjoyed being able to have her wedding dress on display recently! We are so grateful to all of the team who work tirelessly but in good humour to the benefit of mum's health, well-being and our own peace of mind.

Oak Lodge
from L M (Sister of Resident) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I don't think I could think of a nursing home in which my sister would receive better care. Her physical needs are considerable and they are all met with, not only professional competence, but with a smile and a joke. The staff are kind and considerate and, importantly, treat her with respect.
The

home is kept beautifully, clean and attractive and above all, welcoming.

Cedar Lodge
from A D (Husband of Resident) published on 26 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dear wife was admitted 2.5 years ago with Parkinson's and Dementia. The quality of care has been excellent. Without exception all the staff are wonderful and they are deeply committed to what they do because it comes from the heart and there is a real sense of community amongst them. Nothing is

too much trouble for them and they are always proactive in attending to my wife's needs. My wife is now at final stage Parkinson's and is undergoing palliative care. All the staff have undergone specialist training in palliative care. Cedar Lodge is without doubt exceptional for what they do and I cannot thank them enough.

I have been very impressed with the level of care shown to my mum and the variety of activities she has been encouraged to participate in. The staff have always been ready to help and with a smile. I find it difficult to find any fault with Holly Lodge, and so pleased Mum spent her last few years here.

Thank you very much.

Cedar Lodge
from Hannah S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

We were very lucky to find Cedar Lodge. My father was with them for a year during which all the carers and wider staff treated him with immense kindness, compassion and care. The nursing team were brilliant - they were highly accessible and offered frequent feedback without needing to be asked. Dad

had access to a wide variety of activities and I enjoyed joining him for singers and visiting birds of prey etc. The activities team worked so hard! When dad was no longer able to leave his bed they would come to his room to read to him & look at his photobooks. I am very grateful for the care he received from everyone, when dad passed away it was clear that Cedar Lodge is like one big family.

Elm Lodge Care Home
from Jonathan J (Son of Resident) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The Elm Lodge team are superstars and constantly go above and beyond to care for my Mum. They recently pulled out all the stops so that she could attend my Brother's wedding. We were therefore incredibly lucky to have her there and she starred in all of the photos, which is incredible as she's wheelchair-bound

and doesn't speak very often now due to her Alzheimer's. She was smiling all day, which is the best possible outcome. I just want to say a huge thank you, to all the staff, for your continued, unwavering care. Mum is a better person for being where she is. I cannot rate Elm Lodge highly enough - you don't need to look anywhere else if you're on the journey to find care for your loved one.

Oak Lodge
from Maxine W (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has been in Oak Lodge for 4 weeks respite with the hope of later becoming a full time resident. Mum has dementia and obviously finding it all very different and a bit anxious at times,
all staff have been very caring and understanding of mum's needs.
Paying particular attention to her likes

and dislikes and with the option to join in with activities if she wishes, she is encouraged but not forced and I have been so pleased to see her joining in. The manageress is always happy to discuss any issues and resolve them promptly.
Oak Lodge has many bright and airy spaces, the dining area is like a restaurant and the food is excellent. Rooms are very clean and comfortable and gardens and surrounding area is beautiful.
Not only have the staff and especially the Manageress been so nice to mum, but also very supportive and nice to me too at a time of tough changes in our lives.
I would be extremely happy if mum could continue living here and i'd be happy to recommend Oak Lodge to anyone

Oak Lodge
from Rohini K (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been at Oak Lodge for about 3 years and I am so very glad that she's a resident there. All the Oak Lodge staff- admin, nurses, carers, maintenance etc...genuinely seem to care for her, and it's situated in a beautiful environment. She feels safe , looked after, and has made lots of friends

there, enjoying a wealth of different activities, from poetry reading, singing in their choir to floor curling!
In addition they have visitations from a host of different furry/feathered friends: alpacas, guinea pigs, birds of prey and so on.
School children regularly visit for chats, singing and making cards, and singers, musicians and dancers also entertain.
I am so blessed that she's enjoying her new home, thank you Oak Lodge for providing outstanding care and support to mum.

Oak Lodge
from Kevin M (Son of Resident) published on 16 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Really glad we found Oak Lodge for my mother's care. There is no doubt that she is well looked after in her twilight years, and has always said that she is happy here, which is a great weight off our minds.
The place is always bright, warm and airy and, along with the gardens, always well kept. The

staff are amazing, friendly and always know my mother (and us), by name, providing lots of varied entertainment for the residents, catering for their varied needs.
The impression, over the past three years, has always been one of a well managed and happy place, for which we are very grateful!

from R F (Wife of Resident) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I have visited many care homes with, and for, family and friends, over many years. The Lodge has proved to provide all that we required for my husband... a calm environment, genuine warmth between residents and carers, many opportunities for residents to be independent and make their own decisions,

ie - free movement inside/outside the building, choice of activities each day, choice of all meals each day, and a choice to join 'day out' trips. Above all this, the care all residents receive every day is outstanding!!

Holly Lodge
from Anne S (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident at Holly Lodge for five months. She has settled extremely well. Her anxiety levels have dropped dramatically, due to the skills of the nursing team and genuinely caring and polite staff. The catering team produce a wide variety of appetising and nutritionally balanced food. The

entertainment staff are always cheerful and have a great variety of activities on offer. They produce a news paper, which keeps residents connected to their loved ones. There are also places for those who enjoy quiet time. The beautiful gardens are easily accessible. Visitors are encouraged and welcome to call at any time.The cleaning staff keep everything spotless. Mum has regular visits from the lovely doctor, chiropodist and hairdresser, and enjoys having a manicure. Her personal hygiene is well managed and she is always neatly presented. The management team are efficient, helpful and approachable. I cannot fault this very caring home and would recommend it without hesitation.

from Caroline J (Guardian of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

From the moment we first visited Elm Lodge, we have been extremely impressed with the quality, standards and care provide by all the management and staff. We feel Elm Lodge reflects the services within a five star hotel. Our resident friend is happier, healthier, eating much better and totally content

with 'her new home'. She has an enthusiastic zest for life which prior to moving to Elm Lodge, she had lost completely. We cannot thank all the staff for all they have done in achieving this. We visit frequently and are always made to feel extremely welcome with delicious beverages and cakes always available for residents and their guests. We cannot praise the Elm Lodge Management and staff enough for their professionalism, experience, dedication and kindness.
