Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cambrian lodge feels like home. It's warm, safe & welcoming. It provides appropriate care for individuals & adapts care as needs change.
Mum's been there since August & I can't speak highly enough of ALL staff. They ALL treat the residents with great care, kindness, patience & compassion. They also
extend that care to residents families.
We are kept informed of any changes medically and emotionally.
There's great, appropriate entertainment where everyone is encouraged, but not forced to join in.
There's a regular doctor, podiatrist & hairdresser who visit weekly.
Meals are homemade, delicious, nutritional & appropriately prepared for individual needs.
It's heartwarming how residents interact with each other as well as staff. Families are welcome & encouraged to visit any time .
It's a professionally run care home which genuinely is a caring home with wonderful staff who also bring joy & humour to the residents day. We're so lucky we found Cambrian lodge. Thank you to all of the staff.

Mum has been a resident at Cambrian Lodge since August 2025. It's a great responsibility isn't it, finding a home for a relative and obviously you only want the very best for them


She has settled in extremely well. We were very impressed in that prior to mum's stay here, the home were keen to get

to know her current needs, likes, dislikes and her background.


So when she did arrive, they did everything they could to reassure both mum and our family that she would be safe, well looked after and cared for and treated with respect and dignity.

The staff are all really lovely. They always have time to explain anything that might be causing concern. They are very positive and smiling. The GP comes in regularly and any health issues are followed up. There's regular entertainment and exercise for anyone who wants to join in. Visitors are made
very welcome.

My husband has a very pleasant room on the lower ground floor. From the beginning of his stay, the staff were always caring and pleasant at all times. They are very patient and understanding. My husband is always bodily clean. Whenever I visit, I am offered a cup of coffee or tea, depending on the time
of day. The same applies to family and friends. We are made to feel welcome, and my queries always answered.

My father spent the last two months of his life at Cambrian Lodge. It was a relief to know that Dad was safe and well cared for as he became increasingly frail. The staff are all professional, friendly, and caring. They kept us informed of Dad's health and treated him with dignity to the end. Cambrian
Lodge was a good choice for Dad and for the family.

My mother is lucky enough to have a beautiful room at Cambrian Lodge. The room is newly painted, curtains washed and deep cleaned, new shelves put up on request, mum's pictures put up where she asked. A wonderful, loving, personal greeting from all the staff and a great cup of tea on arrival. Mum loves
her room and is feeling settled. Her meals and requirements all taken note of. Personally, she feels safe. All visitors say the same thing when they exit the building - you don't want to leave. I feel that way. It is a home not a facility. Everyone is so kind - lucky mum to be there.
Reply from Rob Davin, Operations Manager at Cambrian LodgeBeautiful words, thank you! We pride ourselves on a loving, caring, personal place to live and a special thank you must go to the staff team at Cambrian Lodge. We are glad you feel at home here and that our staff have made your experience so positive. It is truly rewarding to know our efforts are appreciated!

For four years my mother has resided here and we are all very happy with her care. The building is old-fashioned but comfortable and the caring staff attentive and friendly. This was the only care-home that asked us about mother and her interests before we signed up. Others spoke of money very early
in our discussions.

The activities and entertainment are great at Cambrian Lodge. The activities are engaging and entertaining, from crosswords, quizzes, bell ringing or arts and crafts, there's always a full activity schedule that's enjoyed by all. There seems to be a personalised approach to ensure there's something
for everyone and this along with the regular movement and exercise sessions create a really fun atmosphere. Also the events such as the summer fayre are well organised and enjoyed by all the residents. Not only is the care and support here great but the activities are fantastic.

My father has been treated with the upmost kindness and respect by all at Cambrian Lodge. He was recognised and known as a person and encouraged by all. Especially as his health declined, he was given more 1-1 time on top of a busy schedule - time was made to hold his hand and be there for him. Not
having to move him and being cared for in a familiar place where he was known and cared for was a huge comfort to both him and the family. We were supported every step of the way.
We cannot recommend the manager and the whole team more. They showed care, compassion and respect at all stages and supported Dad and us to the very end going above and beyond. A well-run home which felt like a home for Dad and a welcoming place for us. Professionally kind. Thank you all - we are so grateful for your care and kindness and wish you all well- what an amazing group of people you are. We really appreciate and thank you for all you do for both the residents in your care and the families.
Reply from Molly Burrows, Manager at Cambrian LodgeThank you for such lovely words. We recognise how important family are, and how much more alive the home is when family and friends are in it. It is of much comfort to me and my team, to know that despite the sadness of the loss of a loved one, we were able to provide compassion and dignity for you all.

My Grandfather is a resident at Cambrian. All of the staff are wonderful and very caring! The staff have great communication and interpersonal skills and made sure to keep me updated regularly when my grandfather was deteriorating. Their care towards us and my family at such a difficult time has been
very comforting! Thank you to all of the staff at Cambrian.
Reply from Molly Burrows, Manager at Cambrian LodgeThank you so much for your lovely review. Supporting people through the difficult part of life's journey end is about supporting not just the residents, but also their loved ones. It was a true pleasure to care for him, and we will miss seeing you all.

I visited a family friend at Cambrian Lodge earlier this month. It was my first time visiting him at this home as he has only been there for just over a month but I was delighted to see how quickly he had settled in he has already built up quite a rapport with the staff who were very friendly and accommodating
to me during my visit.
He spoke at length about how he was enjoying it and specifically about how comfortable his bed was which was great to hear. He also spoke about the camaraderie between fellow residents and how he was taking up new hobbies since moving in.
It was reassuring to see him so happy and settled and I would like to thank everyone at Cambrian Lodge for looking after him so well.
Reply from Molly Burrows, Manager at Cambrian LodgeThank you so much for your kind review. We have had lots of projects on the go recently, and have managed to encourage people with crafting and gardening who have never tried it before, so we are thrilled to be expanding people's hobbies and allowing them to thrive!

Access to the care home controlled and generally answered fairly quick time not kept waiting too long. After signing register access to visit is good. Staff and management always seem to have smiles and pleased to welcome you.
Ground floor room is suitable for Mum's needs unfortunately does not attend
activities as she is quite frail.
Carers managed to wash/dress Mum and moved into lounge for birthday treats which was helpful and visitors accommodated. Very nice day. Regular staff always helpful and smiling.
Choice of food good and nicely cooked and prepared. She eats well.
Reply from Molly Burrows, Manager at Cambrian LodgeThank you for your kind review. We feel very strongly about celebrating birthdays, because as we get older, every milestone is a celebration of life! It is always lovely to see families gathering together and we are glad to facilitate

From the moment my son and I walked into the building I felt hope not knowing what to expect. We were met by the manager who put all my worries regarding my wife's care to rest. The home and staff could not have been nicer. I have been married to my wife for 65 years, yes I miss her but it gives me
peace of mind knowing she is in a home that is simply just like home! Thank you.

This care home has a wonderful aura of care, calmness and family - it is always difficult experiencing a loved one entering a care home but the manager and her excellent team make that transition as good as it possibly can be. The staff are always happy, smiling and attentive treating everyone with
love, affection and dignity. I came away from visiting Mum today with an easier conscience that she is in very good hands and everyone makes us so welcome whenever we visit. Keep up the fantastic work.
Reply from Molly Burrows, Manager at Cambrian LodgeWow! Thank you, what lovely words. We're so pleased your mum is settling in so well, and thrilled that you feel you can be rest assured that she is loved and cared for. We celebrate family here, and couldn't do that without support from family members and visitors.

This caring attitude of all staff and the manager at Cambrian Lodge is, in my opinion, outstanding.
It's always easy to communicate with the staff and the responses are always friendly and most important, very helpful.
These busy staffs don't simply respond to needs but continually engage with residents
and the result is a palpable feeling of 'home'.
An excellent example of what a care home should be and I'm so glad my friend is being cared for at Cambrian Lodge.
Reply from Molly Burrows, Manager at Cambrian LodgeIt brings us such joy to hear your experience is a positive one. We are incredibly proud of the team and how they show dignity and passion every day. Thank you so much for an incredibly heartwarming review.

My father moved in December for respite and needs more care so he has stayed - permanent residence now. The manager was amazing at getting him in and settled. She and the staff are amazing, go the extra mile, always smiling. Helpful and available. The manager has made many positive changes to Cambrian

This may be adequate as a `care home` for elderly people but it is most definitely not! a care home for our loved ones who are living with dementia. The majority of staff (excluding the deputy manager) were compassionate and mindful of the resident's needs but lack the understanding and training of
even the basics of caring for an individual who has Dementia.
Reply from Richard White, Managing Director at Cambrian LodgeI'm sorry that you decided to leave this review as it doesn't fairly represent our disagreement, which wasn't about the care your husband received or the home, but was about your unwillingness to comply with contractual obligations. Cambrian Lodge is a lovely, warm and caring home with an excellent Manager and Staff. Our Staff are well trained, including all aspects of Dementia care, and deliver an excellent service to the people who live with us.
Your husband is a lovely man and we were sorry to see him go: We wish you both well.
