from B B (Son of Resident) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident in New Lodge for a number of years, She has been supported throughout this period by kind, compassionate and caring staff. The cleaning and laundry staff do an excellent job keeping my mums room and clothes clean. The staff that provide the care for my Mum are really good

with her and treat her with respect maintain her dignity at all times. The management staff have been very supportive and kept me informed about the details of my mums care. The activities provided by the care home for the residents are first rate.

My wife is well looked after by caring and compassionate staff. She has a comfortable room overlooking the garden, which is kept clean and tidy. Her medication is administered in a kind and friendly way. The caring staff are particularly good and interact with her whenever they can. The activities coordinator

tries to ensure that my wife joins in whenever she can.

Hartrigg Oaks
from K T (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

We have appreciated the care and support my step-mother has received particularly after the programme and daily routine set up by the CHAD team. Alzheimer's is a very cruel degenerating illness and both your staff and family and friends need guidance in dealing with the changing personality. The facilities

are clean and well maintained. The care team kind and helpful. The admin mostly efficient. My stepmother loves the activities especially with singing and music - please continue doing as many as possible. I see even very passive residents become vivacious and responsive to music.

Review of
The Oaks
from A T (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been in The Oaks for two and a half years and it used to be a fantastic home. This year 2024, the staff have left in droves and staffing numbers have been cut so much that weekend cover is not acceptable. There is often agency staff on a weekend that do not know the needs or even the names

of the residents. Staff on a weekend are run ragged. Both of the ladies who did activities have left, residents are now spending day after day just sat in front of the TV with no interaction at all. My mother has declined as she has nothing to stimulate her. If I ask what the activity is that day, I am told that there isn't any, just the TV. The carers are fantastic. They work extremely hard and really do care about the residents but the management need to have a close look at how they are treating their excellent staff before any more leave and the residents suffer further.

Bedford Court (Olive Lodge)
from D W (Son of Resident) published on 23 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I just wanted to thank Bedford Court for the way they made mother's last few years so pleasurable. All the staff were very caring and couldn't do enough for her. As with all homes, there are improvements that could be made in some areas if resources were unlimited, but its heart is in the right place

and I had no concerns over the way my mother was looked after.

Reply from Jenny Stobbs, Manager at Bedford Court (Olive Lodge)

Thank you for your lovely words. It was a pleasure to care for your mum. She was a great character and a big part of our Bedford Court family.

Bedford Court (Olive Lodge)
from Richard F (Son of Resident) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This care home used to be good but in the last year has really gone downhill. The management team are laughable, no kettle in the kitchenette for 4 days, how long does it take to get a kettle? The toilet is leaking into downstairs and will not be fixed for over 4 days. Believe this is a health and safety

issue.
Look elsewhere for a care home!

Hi, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear of your concerns. I can confirm that the kettle has been replaced. The delay was due to there being no management on site to purchase a new one. The…read more

from H S (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My dad has been in The Oaks for two years having been a bungalow resident from the beginning. He has a comfortable room, with recently refurbished ensuite facilities. He has his own furniture and furnishings with makes it feel like home. He receives excellent, respectful and considerate care from the

hardworking, dedicated care staff whose workload only seems to increase. The facilities are good with activities for all the residents who wish to join in. Residents are able to access a small shop, hairdressers, health activity centre, library, workshop and coffee shop to meet up with the wider Hartrigg Oak community.

Excellent care is offered to my mum. The staff is always friendly and approachable treating Mum with dignity and respect. A lot of thought has been put into the layout of the building offering many areas to sit, share activities, walk around the garden and maintain as much independence as possible.

The Oaks
from Alison G (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident in The Oaks for 18 months. It is evident that the current management team are determined to make changes to improve the quality of the lives of residents and where and when possible consider individual needs. THe permanent care staff do treat Mum with dignity and this caring

sensitive approach comes across and makes her feel cared for. They have a very demanding skilled job working with residents and relative and we very much appreciate all they do, often in difficult situations. I hope Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust do everything they can to retain sich quality of staff so they too are cared in the way they care for Mum.

Overall Experience

My mum has been at The Oaks for a month now and we could not be happier. She has settled in quickly and all the staff are incredibly kind and patient with her. She enjoys the meals, and there is a fantastic program of activities every day, which she enjoys joining in with. Her room is lovely, a good

size, and always immaculately clean. The grounds are also beautiful and we often enjoy a walk round the gardens or tea in the coffee shop. We feel extremely grateful that Mum is now living in such a lovely place and it has brought us great peace of mind to know she is being so well cared for and looked after. An absolute top-class example of a brilliant care home. Thank you.

Dad moved into Bedford Court (Olive Lodge) in December 2023, initially for respite after a fall. The home is welcoming and all the staff are caring and helpful. The managers are always available and their doors are always open. Dad now has a permanent room and appears settled. I can thoroughly recommend

Olive Lodge.

Review of
The Oaks
from C P (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I have nothing but praise for every aspect of The Oaks. My mother has been here for 8 months now and she continues to tell me how lucky she feels to be there. The staff are incredibly caring and patient with her, which is especially important for us as she has very high anxiety and a failing memory.

The staff are extremely attentive to her needs and do everything they can to make her feel comfortable and safe, but without patronising or infantilising her. Her room and ensuite are very comfortable and always immaculate. She has her own balcony and looks out over beautifully maintained gardens. There is a wide variety of activities on offer which she is always invited but never forced to join in with.

The Oaks
from L W (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother is staying in the Oaks for a period of respite care after a short stay in the hospital - her second visit in the past year. Since the moment she arrived, she has been made to feel safe, loved, listened to and cared for - and assured that she can stay for as long as it takes. Knowing that she

can recover at her own pace and will be fully supported back into her own bungalow when the time comes gives her great peace of mind. Me too. I have spent a lot of time in the Oaks during my mother’s stay and have been struck and humbled pretty much daily by the dedication of the staff, from management to nurses to carers. What has also helped me, in particular, is being able to have a close dialogue with staff and management over my mother’s situation.
