My mother has now been in Lighthouse Lodge for almost 3 months and I cannot thank the staff enough for the excellent care they provide and she receives. The carers and nursing staff are friendly and devoted and look after my mother and all the other residents with due caee re and attention and are always
prepared to go that extra mile.
The support staff too, be it in catering, entertainment, cleaning and maintenance as well as the front of house staff are all lovely to deal with too and nothing is too much trouble. I can only thank everyone for the attention, care, love and respect they show towards my mother. I think the home is first class!

from S R (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Thank you for the outstanding level of care you offered my Mum, who came to Parklands Lodge recently for a short term stay. My first impressions were a clean, modern, well maintained establishment and the bedrooms and communal lounges are very spacious and bright. Both Mum and I were really impressed
by the friendly, welcoming environment from the start, there is an overall positive feel about the place which helped Mum to settle in very quickly. Everyone is approachable, helpful and attentive to the needs of the residents and I felt completely reassured that my Mum was in good hands. Mum enjoyed the comfort of a large, airy bedroom overlooking beautiful gardens with her own shower room. She made friends with other residents and staff over a few rounds of dominoes and enjoyed delicious homecooked meals, they even cater for visitors and a family meal can be arranged. Mum truly had a fabulous time at Parklands Lodge and I know she was reluctant to leave. Can't thank you enough!

Reply from Sarah Lyon, Lodge Manager at Parklands Lodge

On behalf of myself and the team at Parklands Lodge I would like to extend our gratitude and thanks for such a positive review of the lodge. It was an absolute pleasure to have been able to support mum in what must have been a very daunting time, we are sincerely grateful for your kind words and I will personally share your feedback with the team. It was indeed sad to see mum leave us here at Parklands but as always please know that should you wish to keep in contact then please do not hesitate, mum did indeed make new friends and acquaintances and it would be an honour to see mum and yourself in the near future at one of our events.Heartfelt thank you from team Parklands.

Mum was admitted to Woodlands after a fall when she was exhausted, distressed and in severe pain. From day 1, the manager and staff welcomed her warmly and reassured her. Her pain was quickly managed and in a short time, thanks to the care and attention of staff, she began to thrive. 'Respite' has now
become 'permanent'. Mum is very happy. An excellent care home - and welcoming to visitors!

My husband has been a resident at Woodlands Lodge for almost 4 years. From day one, we have experienced excellent service on every level. I visit my husband every day at various times during the day, including late into the evening, so I see all the staff during that time. The quality of care and support
is consistently excellent at all times. I am delighted with the staff and facilities. I couldn't wish for my husband to be in a better place.
