Dove Lodge

from C C (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family were so pleased to find the excellent care home Dove Lodge. From when Mum moved into her new home 20 months ago, we've always had peace of mind that she received the best care, love & attention. Compared to other local homes Dove Lodge was an obvious choice, leagues above others in many respects.
Mum loves the peaceful ambience of the home & choices of areas to relax in. The friendly, caring staff always give time to chat to us all. The excellent & varied choice of food & drinks made it feel 'hotel-like'! The inspired variety of ideas from the activities team was well received, plus the residents meetings. Dignity is always shown. Prompt responses to sudden needs, a given, all managed by the outstanding leadership & hardwork of the manager. Thank you.

I am so grateful to Dove Lodge care home for the outstanding care they've provided to my Mum. I have fond memories of supporting Mum with craft activities. The staff were incredibly considerate and gave friendly care throughout my Mums stay with you. We were able to go on holiday knowing mum was having
the best of care. The family were recognised and treated as part of the loving family here at Dove Lodge. What struck us the most was the truly compassionate and loving nature of the staff. They didn't just care for Mum, they loved her! This made for a wonderful environment and we will continue to recommend this outstanding home.

My stepmother had a very positive experience at Dove Lodge. She described it like being at a five-star hotel. I found it to be on my visits, friendly, superbly run and spotlessly clean. I thought the staff were very caring and supportive. Right up to the day she died they offered their best and were
very considerate towards myself and other relatives.

I cannot recommend Arcot House highly enough. My 91 year old mother spent two amazing weeks there recovering from an injury. She left feeling very much better due to the professionalism and enthusiasm of the staff. Each and every one of them go above and beyond in every aspect of their work. They are
all so positive and their smiles say everything about how much they genuinely care. My mother and I wouldn't hesitate to use Arcot again should the need arise. Thank you so much.

I wanted to share my appreciation to all the kind staff at Arcot House who have not only made my mother-in-law welcome, comfortable and safe, but have changed my perception of care homes altogether.
Arcot has the feeling of a happy family home where the residents receive a wonderful
program of entertainment
and companionship from the activities coordinators, and a fabulous and varied home cooked food from the kitchen staff. Above all every member of staff is kind, caring and seems genuinely happy to be working there. give it a few years and will have my name down.

Mum arrived 2-and-a-half months ago and has already settled in well. Management is very professional and Mum's safety and security is treated with very high importance. Staff (carers and activity) are excellent, incredibly caring and have really got to know Mum so she has settled quickly. Communication
is great and I feel listened to as Mum's daughter/carer. Mum loves to be busy so the varied activities keep her occupied and independent. Feel so blessed to have found Doveridge as Mum says she 'loves being there'. Thank you x

I would single out Dove Court for the exceptional quality of care, which is warm, attentive, friendly and compassionate. My mother recently died at the home after being a resident for four years and the gentle and loving way she was looked after in her final weeks and days meant so much to my family.
My father lives there now and is so well looked after. He drove a car until recently and greatly appreciated the parking space he was given. I would highly recommend Dove Court.

from Teresa M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have waited purposely for my review of Doveridge so I may give an honest and knowledgeable opinion. My mum has been a resident for approximately 10 months and I can honestly say I can't be happier to see how she has thrived. Her needs are met and surpassed by the wonderful staff who are given the
freedom to spend time with each resident and really get to know them. The food is excellent with a choice for all requirements. As it's a small home it has a very homely feeling which so many lack and this reflects in the contentment of residents. There is plenty of entertainment on tap and trips out which are thoroughly enjoyed. I have to take my cap off to the management because as we know the home is only as good as those that run it and this home is wonderful.

My grandmother became a Dove Lodge resident this year, and as a family, we were really apprehensive, but after just a few days, it was clear we needn't have had any such thoughts. Straight away, we were confident that my grandmother would settle in, be happy, but most of all be safe and well looked
after. It's clear the staff are well trained and care about what they do. We feel very grateful to have found such a lovely environment that my grandmother loves. Thank you.
