Review of Buckingham Lodge from J J (Wife of Resident) published on 7 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband has been at Buckingham Lodge now for 3 years. He is so well cared for as his Alzheimer's progresses.
Any problems I'm always notified.
The staff are just so caring and lovely.
He used to join in with activities but is now happy just to doze in his chair. He is very contended and obviously doesn't feel the need to be entertained.
His room and bathroom are always clean and tidy.
He enjoys the food, the afternoon treats of fresh fruit and cake always look delicious!
Someone mentioned that the place looked run down and in need of redecorating.
I haven't found this to be the case at all. Everywhere is clean, a few scuffs on the wall, but so what? For me and far more important than anything is the care that is shown and given by the hard working and lovely carers.
Simon the manager is so very supportive and easy to talk to.

I have nothing but high praise for Buckingham Lodge and I'm so grateful for the care they give to my husband.

Overall Experience

My nan is always happy when I come to visit, shes very well looked after. Staff are always friendly and always there to help if we have any questions. Home is always clean and tidy. I have been to a few homes but by far Buckingham Lodge is the best and feel my nan is very safe here. Would definitely recommend Buckingham Lodge!

Review of Buckingham Lodge from Alison S (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I recently lost my Mother who resided here and had been here for many years, her end of life care was full of respect and I felt that they cared as much as I did about her. I was welcomed into the home at any time of the day and night and was always checked on to see if I was okay whilst there. I would highly recommend the home, staff and management to anyone looking for a home for a loved one in this area.

Overall Experience
Manager and staff went out of their way to hp me locatey friend's room. Each person stopped what they were doing to talk to me in a friendly and accommodating way.
The care home was beautifully decorated and airy.
My friend was very happy to be there, even thought it was for respite

He told me that the food was excellent and the staff were kind and so helpful. 5 stars

Review of Buckingham Lodge from Chris P (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum has been at Buckingham Lodge for a few months now and I am so pleased with the care being provided. Mum has dementia so visits can be difficult with her telling me she has no one to talk to and nothing to do. However, photos on display at the home and photos/videos on social media show me she has friends and is involved with the many activities provided. It's so reassuring to see these.

Mum's health is closely monitored, updates provided regularly and I can visit at any time. Mum looks so well and much better than when she arrived. I would highly recommend this care facility. The management and staff are outstanding

Review of Buckingham Lodge from Andy M (Son of Resident) published on 7 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Buckingham Lodge was the perfect place for Mum to be over the last 2 years. We had no idea at first that their staff were so caring when faced with some of the biggest challenges that anyone could face. Mum was looked after so well and they protected her dignity throughout her time there. We thank you so much for your care and service to Mum, I can't recommend you enough.

We couldn't be happier with the care my mother-in-law receives here. The staff treat her like their own family, with so much dignity and kindness. It's a huge relief to know she is safe, happy, and genuinely loved. Thank you for making her feel so at home for the last 6 years!

Overall Experience
Mum has been in Buckingham Lodge care home for just over 6 years. Staff go above and beyond to make life as easy as possible for her. She is bed bound and has had quite a few hospital admissions over the years , with the home adapting to her changing needs.

As her daughter, I have the reassurance that she is in a safe and caring environment, surrounded by well trained carers. One of the main strengths of this home is the communication. I am kept informed of any changes or concerns and when times have been hard, I am grateful to the compassion and empathy the staff show me and my family.

Review of Buckingham Lodge from S S (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Throughout mums stay she was cared for and spoken to with respect. She was clean, well dressed and had really happy times. She enjoyed the dancing and entertainment and seemed to love the carers. As a family we witnessed Unbelievable care and empathy during a difficult time later in her Alzheimer's journey. Mum was given choice until she no longer could and treated with dignity and gentleness until she passed. This was an exact fit for her even though we didn't realise it at the start. The food was excellent with fresh fruit and nutritious meals. Her birthday cake was stunning. They provided special events during Christmas, Valentine's Day , Halloween etc and communication was brilliant.

Review of Buckingham Lodge from Malcolm M (Husband of Resident) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I never cease to be amazed by the professionalism of all the staff. They truly love their guests and treat them all with great dignity
This excellence is probably inspired by the outstanding senior management, especially the manager Simon
Well done Buckingham Lodge. I will forever be grateful for my darling wife's treatment over a period of two years.

Thank you.

Review of Buckingham Lodge from David L (Son of Resident) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum has been at Buckingham Lodge for approximately 3 years, doesn't time fly when your having fun!! She has been looked after with care and affection over that entire period. Not an easy lady to deal with either. Dementia is a horrid disease taking Mum away from us slowly but surely. The team have coped with all sorts of issues over that time but always managed these situations with proffessionalism. I can fully recommend the home for your loved one.

Overall Experience

We visited our friend and once again it was good to see how happy and well looked after she is at Buckingham Lodge. This Care Home is excellent, it is always very clean and has a welcoming ambience. The Staff are so friendly and certainly very caring. We always read the menu and it certainly appears well balanced and tempting. There are many activities organised by the staff for the residents and by looking at the photos these are well attended and enjoyed. We would, and do, recommend this Care Home.

Overall Experience

My mother has been staying at Buckingham Lodge since February and my family and I are very happy with the care she receives. All the staff are really friendly and supportive, and her room and en-suite are always immaculate. Although Mum has advanced dementia, the staff still find ways to help her engage, and are very respectful of her. We are so grateful for everything they do.

Review of Buckingham Lodge from Dawn T (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum came into Buckingham Lodge on the 2 nd June of this year. She has a beautiful room with an en-suite bathroom which is always kept very clean at all times. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and it is always a pleasure to come in and chat to them. There is always a varied menu on offer and some lovely sweet treats as well. If ever mum needs to see a doctor, this is dealt with very promptly. The staff always phone me if they have any concerns regarding mums health which puts my mind at rest totally. Mum sees more people in a day than she ever did living on her own. She is safe and very well cared for by the wonderful caring team.

I am so happy that I chose Buckingham Lodge.

Review of Buckingham Lodge from Lynne A (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
High standard care delivered with kindness, compassion and respect. My mum has been a resident for a number of years and they have sensitively adapted to her deteriorating condition which has helped not only her transition but ours as a family.
Unfortunately mum does not join in the activities we see happening with us residents but they seem to be having as much fun as she used to and it is a joy to see.

Thank you from us all.

Buckingham Lodge is a very caring home. They have really helped my Dad settle. They have provided a personalised welcome pack. They have also taken him to church which is really important to Dad. They are also taking him to his favourite cafe. I feel he is respected and loved. Thankyou.

Overall Experience

I am really happy with this care home. There is a genuine feeling of care from everyone within the home. We have been here for over two years now and wouldn't want Mum to be anywhere else. Everyone here shows care and compassion and kindness to each and every person including families. Communication is exceptional which for me is so important.
