Herries Lodge

Overall Experience

My grandmother has always refused to go into a care setting until she visited Herries Lodge. She has nothing but praise for the whole staff team, they go above and beyond. The love and care they give to each resident shines through. I cannot fault the place at all, it's a home from home environment

with angels caring for your loved ones. We don't regret our decision and my grandmother now has a fulfilled, meaningful life.

Overall Experience

I have experienced care and kindness as a 'respite' resident. I have grown to admire their hard work. Has been good to get to know the other residents too. It has been a welcome few weeks in my recovery from three hip operations.

Review of
Dearne Hall
from Denise P (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 August 2025

Overall Experience

I cannot praise the home and staff enough for the care given to my dad. From the 1st meeting we were made to feel comfortable. Everything was explained to us. We felt staff listened to our concerns about leaving our dad in their care, we were given time to go through Dad's likes and dislikes. They spoke

to Dad despite his dementia and included him in the conversation. When visiting the home, the one reasuring thing was that no matter which member of staff we spoke to they could tell us what kind of day dad had had. All staff were friendly but profesisonal, they always had time for you. Dad enjoyed his stay in the home, and we would not hesitate to take him again for respite and permanent care if this was in his best interest. We want to say thank you to all staff, we were very grateful for their care and support in what was a difficult time for us as family.

Overall Experience

Mum was a resident since October 2022. She died recently. I cannot thank everyone at the home enough for their care, support and friendship to Mum. It is an exceptional home. The staff, facilities, entertainment, food and cleanliness. She could not have had a better home. The staff were always kind

and friendly towards me and the support they gave at the end of Mum's life will always be appreciated.

Herries Lodge

Overall Experience

The care my mother in law received in the two and a half years she was in Herries Lodge was exceptional from start to finish and on every level. The food, laundry, housekeeping etc cannot be faulted. The day to day care and friendship she received was second to none.
Sadly my mother in law passed away

but the care, love and dignity she received in her last days will never be forgotten and the support given to the family was over and above at a very difficult time. I can never praise or thank them enough. Truly outstanding.

Overall Experience

The staff at Prior Bank are brilliant! They are kind, caring, hard-working and committed to treating the residents with compassion and dignity. The food looks tasty and meal times are a real social highlight for the residents. Staff make an effort to celebrate special days at every opportunity.

A highlight for us was the pastor (who is also a shift leader). He led church services every week, and was amazing when my mother-in -law passed away - he led the funeral (which was lovely because he knew her well) and was a great comfort to us all.

Overall Experience

After visiting many care homes, we visited Oakwood and knew instinctively it was just right for our mum. Very welcoming, homely, lovely atmosphere and really good home-cooked food which mam enjoyed. Mam was extremely well cared for at Oakwood. She was surrounded by a brilliant team of very dedicated,

understanding and hardworking staff. We cannot thank all the staff enough for their love, care and support. We highly recommend Oakwood, it's a wonderful home.

Overall Experience

Oakwood Grange has been a true blessing for our family. From the moment my mum moved in, the entire team has been nothing short of amazing. They are warm, friendly, and genuinely caring - it's clear they treat every resident like a member of their own family.

What has made the biggest difference

for me personally is the peace of mind they've given us. Looking after Mum had become increasingly stressful and worrying, but since she's been in their care, that burden has completely lifted. I know she's safe, comfortable, and well cared for every single day.

The staff are excellent communicators and always keep us updated, which means we feel connected and involved even when we can't be there in person. It's such a comfort to know Mum is in such capable and kind hands.

I truly can't thank them enough - Oakwood Grange in my view is outstanding

My Mum moved to Prior Bank in June 2023. Whilst her dementia has deteriorated since then, the staff have shown continued care and compassion. We are updated as and when necessary and can call at anytime for a chat with the home manager.

Their hard work and dedication doesn't go unnoticed and we

appreciate all they do to keep Mum safe and well looked after.
