Filsham Lodge

from Sharon W (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Although my dad has only been here a while, I have found the premises to be clean, staff friendly and welcoming. I'm updated on his situation at all times, quickly and informed of everything. The food has looked good and smells divine, and appears to be plenty of it on offer; he appears to enjoy it.
I can't say anything about activities as I have not been there when any are in progress. So far, he appears to have settled here fairly quickly and is as happy as he can be

Reply from Michelle Love-Patel, Manager at Filsham Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear your dad is settled well and you are happy with the care provided. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team! Take care

Our mum is very happy here at Ampersand House. She is showered regularly and kept nice and clean. The food seems nice too - the residents are well looked after and are given lots of snacks/drinks throughout day. Mum is looked after and has regular haircuts and pedicures. Sometimes they have a fish and
chip night, which mum loves. She loves it when the singer comes too. Mum has made friends here too!

I have nothing but praise for the care my mum.has been receiving at Ampersands. It was a very hard decision for mum to go into a care home but we could not give her the care she needed and deserved at home. She is always treated with dignity and respect. The staff are so caring not only with mum but
with our family too. Icant thank you enough

Reply from Sarah Day, Registered Manager at Ampersand House

Thank you for your kind review, I will be sure to let the staff know . we are very glad that mum has settled well and now has her days filled with visits from family and joins in with the activities, she enjoys going round to the cafe .

Ampersand House

from Graham H (Partner of Resident) published on 4 June 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I am delighted to share my glowing report for the dementia care home where my partner resides. The carers here are incredibly attentive and truly understand the individual needs of their patients, creating a nurturing environment. The security measures are exceptional, requiring permission for guests
to leave, ensuring a safe atmosphere. With ample staff, no resident is ever left waiting for assistance. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and kept impeccably clean. The lovely secure garden provides a perfect space for residents to enjoy the sunshine.
The dining experience is outstanding, with a wonderful selection of meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I visit her daily and find nothing to fault. Live entertainment, including dancing and singing, takes place at least once a month, bringing joy to all residents. Overall, I couldn't wish for a better place for her. Thank you to the entire team for their remarkable dedication and care!

My mother moved in to Ampersand in March 2025. She has received nothing but excellent care & compassion since her arrival. The support she has received and the emotional support given to the whole family during her transition to living at the home has been way beyond our expectations. The kindness of
all the staff is second to none to both us and my mum. I cannot thank the home enough for helping us over what has been a very emotional time. The decision for mum to go into care has been very difficult but her wellbeing and safety are & always will be our highest priority
I have complete confidence that my mum is receiving the best care possible & cannot thank everyone enough.
You are all superstars in my eyes.

We moved our mum here from another care home 18 months ago. Since she has been here she is so much better. The care she receives is excellent, she is always clean and her clothes tidy. Her meals are good and she always has plenty of snacks to keep her going. The entertainment they have good for them
and we can't praise them enough for the care they give her. The staff always give us an update when we visit and also phone us with anything we need to know. Thank you to all the staff at Caroline House.

from Mandy C (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was placed in Caroline House, June 2024, after a lengthy hospital stay due to her developing vascular dementia. She seemed to settle in quite quickly, which I attribute to the wonderful carers. She has a ground floor room with her own loo and, I believe, she is comfortable. The room is kept
clean & tidy. She eats her lunch, which looks & smells delicious, with a good appetite.
It is an older building but I think it has a good atmosphere. Mum can go to the dining room or the lounge but prefers to stay in her room. I'm happy that she is safe, seemingly happy and very well looked after.

There has been more uplifting changes at the home recently. When you walk into "Ash Wing" it takes on the appearance of a street, with brick effect walls, and all the doors have been laminated with colourful front door images. So unusual very impressive, fun, and it brightens up your visit no end.
Well done.

from Christine D (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My mother was at Ampersands for just over 2 years. The care when she first moved in was amazing! sadly it deteriorated rapidly. The communication is just awful. We had to report various complaints to the council for lack basic care skills; from personal items going missing mums wedding and engagements
rings, dentures, bras knickers so much always went missing, when reported all I got was it is a dementia home things do go missing. There is no care from the current manager. One of the last visits to see mum last year, she was in her room naked and shivering also in attendance with my daughters to see. We knew mum was ill at the time, we kept repeated asking to test mums urine, when I did it it tested positive for everything. It took ten days after to get mum the correct medication but in that time mum had an unwitnessed fall in the communal area to which she broke her wrist, mum never returned this caused mums deterioration which lead to her death. Would not recommend.

The care my son has received is good but the home is not suited to a young stroke patient. The room was very small with no en-suite. He needed physio which was difficult to achieve satisfactory results in such a restricted area.

Reply from Michelle Love-Patel, Manager at Filsham Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your honesty and understanding that your sons placement here was urgent and only temporary until a more suitable placement could be found. We will take your opinion on board when approached for this type of care in the future. We wish him the best of luck with his new placement now this has finally been found! Take care

My partner although he was only in Filsham Lodge a few months before his passing, the care and attention given to him from all the staff involved in his care was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, all aspects of his care were given lovingly by the staff. The home was always clean and tidy. I could
not have wished for a better home for my partner to be cared for in. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for everything they did for him and myself as you all made what was a very difficult time for me so much easier to bear. Thank you so very much.
