home - Especially the food, and I no longer have to visit her in tears.
So far, without exception, every member of staff has been friendly warm and helpful. (I visit at least three times a week).

years here in such a wonderful, caring and professional place. Can't thank you all enough.

respect. The staff are very friendly, devoted to the people they care for and deal with difficult situations in their stride. There are a remarkable range of activities organised for the residents. It is a very 'active' community, just look on social media, but it is still possible to find a quiet lounge when needed. The building itself is very warm and welcoming. It is new build and therefore specifically designed. The rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean. Thank you for exceeding our expectations.

Finally the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
A very enjoyable respite care stay.

friendliness of the staff, as have I. I particularly appreciated the email updates. It was also useful to see photos of my husband happily participating (on social media).

visiting each week. lots of activities should the residents want to join in.

Staff are extremely welcoming to family members. The manager has been a previous healthcare professional and this is reflected on the high standards of care.

until when I was making a fuss b) over my 2nd weekend, my strong pain relief almost ran out and I had to manage with paracetamol which was far less effective. An oversight had led to it not having been reordered earlier. The activities, the friendly yet professional staff, and the opportunity for privacy if I wanted it we welcoming. The hospitality was good.

vehicles available today and is spotlessly clean and safe. A quiet lounge is easily found as there are so many to choose from, and the garden room is our favourite. The main focus is to ensure that new residents settle into a change of circumstance with as much help as required from the Manager, one of the Activities Coordinator and, the Administrator. The laundry system works well and is well manage. The activities are designed to have fun, laugh and inclusive for all. There is no divide between the floors and when accompanied, the beautiful gardens are available. They are quiet, sheltered with a variety of seating despite only being open a couple of years, they look mature.

kindness and compassion, creating a genuine sense of care that flows through the plush carpeted hallways and beautifully decorated lounge areas. It's clear that the team truly enjoy their work and interact with residents respectfully and warmly. The weekly activities on offer are both varied and engaging, including a gardening club, bell-ringing demonstrations, and even building projects. These activities focus on encouraging social interaction, learning, and togetherness. The Lodge has far exceeded our expectations, providing a caring, engaging, and vibrant community where our mother feels safe, valued, and most important - at home.

home, delicious food with lots of choice. The only slight negative comment was reading the activities: they were often geared up (understandably) for residents who were much less mentally and physically able than my mum.

recommend.

are carefully themed, which promotes great conversation and memories.
The staff are the heart of this home. Every member of the team from carers to kitchen staff, from reception to house keeping, carry the same work ethic - placing the individual at the centre of everything they do. Exceptional people, who always find time to share quality moments with their residents.
Activity and Wellness play a huge part of daily life at Middleton. Residents can do as much or as little as they choose; something for everyone. The variation of activities and events is extensive. You only have to browse the Facebook page to see how much goes on. A personal highlight was the Mother's Day Tea Party.

that is led very well. As I say to my father, 'I'd like a few weeks stay here!'

I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.
