Overall Experience

The staff (at the Evergreens Lodge Sherborne) from manager down have been exemplary. My dad was treated with respect, compassion and dignity in what a traumatic situation.

from K N (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My brother, sister-in-law and I visited my father a few days after he moved in. He was clean, well dressed and happy and smiling. His room, although very small, was clean and adequate. We sat with him in the conservatory, and the staff were very nice to us and to him. It was Burns supper/lunch, and

residents had Haggis, Neeps and Tatties and a Piper in full Scots dress played the bagpipes. The staff then got the residents together for a photo. We, as relatives, were treated very well and invited to have lunch with our dad. He was also treated very kindly, particularly by the manger who was on duty. All the staff knew my dad's name. He said he has been helped with washing and dressing and was happy.

Overall Experience

Mum has been in the home for 18 months. She settled easily and is clearly happy and content. Staff really get to know the residents and this makes such a big difference. There are often activities for the residents to become involved in, certainly enough fo mum. Food is plentiful and I very not had

any complaints.

Although the building might not be ideal in many respects, staff make good, creative use of the space. The home is kept clean and safe.

from P M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our mum has settled in well over the last four months after not being very keen to leave her own home. The staff are very kind and have lots of time for her. They always seem cheerful and interact well. There are so many activities and trips for Mum to join in with which is great. She is making friends

with the other residents and enjoys the garden and conservatory because she likes to sit in the sun. I feel happy that Mum is in a comfortable home and being taken care of well.

Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident at the Nazareth family for two and a half years and our true appreciation for the love and the care for her is un-measurable. Without the dedication of every member of the caring Nazareth staff, dear Mum would not be enjoying her life to the full as she is today.
She is respected,

involved in daily activities, medicated, fed the most gorgeous food, kept warm and snug, and we are truly blessed and for what you all do at Nazareth, thank you all!

Nazareth Lodge
from Chris S (Son of Resident) published on 12 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My 94-year-old mother has been a resident for 3 months. Has been a difficult time for her moving from her home of 45 years, where she was still relatively independent, into care where she has given up a great deal of her independence; but the staff in Nazareth have been very kind to her and made her

feel welcome from the first day. Nothing is too much trouble. She has some issues with her memory and can be confused and difficult, but the staff have coped incredibly well and made her feel respected and listened to.
The range of activities is excellent. This last couple of weeks, they have arranged trips to Longleat, Weymouth and other locations, a visit by a Birds-of Prey handler, flower arranging and other activities and quizzes. There is something for everyone. The home is small, homely, clean and well-maintained. It has a lovely, well-maintained garden and a conservatory where my mother spends a lot of her time.
I would strongly recommend Nazareth. It's an exemplar of how a care home should be.

Overall Experience

First impression - clean, fresh, not stale smells which often greet you in care homes.
Staff very welcoming and homely. Privacy given for relatives visiting if necessary.
Noticed gardens and activities available for those that are able, facilities also available for those who are less able.
Tea

and biscuits offered to us (visitors).
Only negative, lift needs sorting for wheelchair users, not enough space. I didn't use lift anyway.

Overall Experience

My wife came for day care every weekend over the last 6 months. She was always treated with great dignity, kindness and compassion. She always came away bright and cheerful.
The staff at Nazareth Lodge have been absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend the care that they gave for my wife as a day

care patient.

from Michael O (Brother of Resident) published on 6 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Excellent and very caring staff. The staff and carers were extremely efficient and empathetic to the needs of the residents. I was very pleased to see my sister was happy and healthy. When asked if she liked it in the home, she made it very clear that she did. I seriously couldn't fault the home. I

met a lot of the carers and I spoke to a lot of the residents who were happy and content. The choice of food was excellent and snacks were frequent. 10/10.

Over the past few months, I have seen a real change in Evergreens Lodge. The home is bursting with life, the activities on offer are varied and person-centred and the new manager, and her team, go out of their way to make me feel welcome and a part of the home when I am there.

from L F (Son of Resident) published on 20 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our parents were moved into Evergreens Lodge as a month long trial back in February 2023. We, the family, are over the moon that they have settled and are really happy to make it their forever home. Our parents have different medical needs and are no longer able to live a safe life at home. The staff

go above and beyond to make sure their care needs are met. The menu is changed regularly and, being that Father is a foody, it's important that the food in general is outstanding. The manager and her team are accommodating to us, but most of all, they go way beyond to ensure my parents are happy and content in every way. They have full access to a wonderful garden area, which again is something my parents find important. I'd recommend Evergreens Lodge in every way.

from Claire S (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Nazareth Lodge - the place is so homely and very up-to-speed with regard to decor and furnishings without that horrid residential home feel. The biggest plus is the staff who are incredibly helpful and friendly but at the same time are professional. My Mum has been a resident for 18 months and a daycare

visitor for 3 years and has always been so happy there.
My Dad spent a short time there and their care for him in his last days was exceptional he was very happy to be there and so well looked after.
I would thoroughly recommend Nazareth Lodge for your loved ones.

Reply from Becky Whitley-Lewis, Admin at Nazareth Lodge

Thank you. We're very proud of Nazareth Lodge and all of the staff here. Your Mum feels like one of ours and is always ready with a kind word and a compliment much as you are. We appreciate it more than you know.

from Jennifer G (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum moved into Nazareth Lodge on 1st March 2022. Both she and I were so relieved to find such wonderfully caring staff there. In fact, we have been exceedingly impressed by the friendly, caring and professional attitude, which extends throughout the whole team of personnel working there, towards the

residents and their relatives as well as amongst each other.
Mum is now 102 years old and needs a high level of care, and she has been consistently afforded respect and kindness along with an understanding of increasing the care as her condition progresses, physically and mentally. She very quickly “adopted “ the staff as her own family, and I am so grateful to them all for the unconditional love and care they have shown my mother and also to me.

Reply from Becky Whitley-Lewis, Admin at Nazareth Lodge

Thank you for this. Both your mum and yourself feel like family and we are so grateful for the kindness that you both show to us constantly. We love having your mum here and very much look forward to your visits and your genuine interest in all of us.

Overall Experience

My dad came into the home due to his short term memory problems. Obviously, this was a huge decision for him and I to make. The staff have supported us with this transition wonderfully.
It has been really hard for me but him too and I thank the staff for their support of us as we work our way through

this difficult transition. My dad is always confident to tell me that the staff are lovely, accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. All the way to rushing out at dinner time to get him some pickled onions to have with his meal.

Reply from Becky Whitley-Lewis, Admin at Nazareth Lodge

Thankyou for this. We love having your Dad here. He is always ready with a kind word, a compliment and his quick wit. He already feels like one of the family.
