Mum moved into Horfield Lodge in March 2025.
In truth I was filled with worry about the move, for Mum and for myself.
After an 'up and down' first few weeks (for Mum and for me especially), Mum began to settle in very well. Her room is lovely and overlooks the Common. We furnished it to Mum's tastes.
The staff are fantastic. I cannot speak highly enough of them. They have all been (and continue to be) fabulous.
Mum certainly has her favourites too.
The Lodge provides lots of entertainment. Mum is keen to join in but also happy looking out over the Common from her armchair. A chair she often sits in and completes her WordSearches.
Our family have only but high praise for the staff and Home itself. They always involve myself in anything regards Mum's care.
I feel that I can approach staff with any concern I may have.
We continue to be extremely happy with Horfield Lodge, but more importantly, Mum continues to be very happy living there. Long may it continue.
Keep up the great work !
