Care Homes Owned by Elmfield Care Ltd in Gloucestershire

My Mum-in -Law has now been living at Nodens Manor in Lydney for over 6 months.This was a huge decision for herself and the family initially but she felt 24 hour care and support was now a necessity.We have been delighted at how well she has settled into life at Nodens ,the support and care from the staff has been excellent and the lovely homecooked food a great hit!As a family we feel relaxed and welcomed as visitors,we all gathered recently to celebrate her 90th birthday together in the gardens and Nodens made every effort to give us a celebration to remember.We thoroughly recommend it to anyone needing a care home for a loved one,we are so glad to have chosen Nodens.

Every member of staff I met was amazing - full of warm smiles, compassion and genuine kindness. Everyone was so welcoming, and it was immediately clear how much the residents are valued and cared for.

It really is a beautiful home, and it's evident that it's run by people who genuinely care. You take the word "care" far beyond simply being a job. You are all incredible.

My mum came to stay at Nodens for 3 weeks respite. She loved her stay and was great for the family to know she was safe and cared for. The staff are all lovely and mum loved them all. We hope Mum will come back to stay again in the future.

Mum loved the entertainment.

We are very lucky to have this right on our doorstep and would definitely recommend.

Our mother was very keen to move to Nodens Manor when she realized that living independently was becoming more difficult and restrictive due to her medical issues and visiting a friend who had moved there.

We took her for a visit/tour and were all very impressed, not only the facilities but also how the staff and residents interacted and the general atmosphere. Mother decided there and then that she was sure it was the right move for her and she moved in a few weeks later.

Due to memory problems she forgot all of the above and was sure that we had "put" her there against her will and was insistent she could go home and manage well on her own.

Over the past 6 months we have seen major improvements in our mothers outlook and general health. The staff have been amazing at making her feel involved and have encouraged her to join in the daily activities, she is spending much more time engaged and happy. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

Everything about Nodens is amazing.

When visiting our friend, we found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. A very safe and secure environment. The area we had to visit was fairly private and very comfortable. We were offered refreshments throughout.

There are activities every day for residents to participate if they wish and family and friends of residents are encouraged to visit and participate too.

Since mum became a resident at Nodens, Lydney my family have nothing but praise for the way mum has been cared for. Initially we worried that mum would isolate herself in her room. However. we have been really surprised how well she is mixing with other residents and joining in activities. The decor is lovely, warm, light and comfortable and there is nothing "institutional". Mum really likes her room and bathroom and they are cleaned to a hug standard.The carers are excellent and nothing is too much trouble to help mum. Mum has had a couple of falls and we have been contacted promptly and updated when necessary. Mum loves the food and it's a relief that she is eating so well.

Dad has been in Nodens Manor for nearly 10 months now and we are very happy with our choice of home for him. The environment is welcoming, friendly and relaxed and the staff are excellent with the residents, devoting time and care to them. Dad has dementia and Nodens gave him a chance when he first arrived until he settled and was on the right medication. He now feels safe and secure, loves the food and occasional glass of wine, joins in with some of the activities and in the summer, he liked to take his book outside and sit in the garden reading. I am able to have care reviews with the senior team when I request them, which is reassuring. I would definitely recommend Nodens Manor to anyone considering a care facility for those with or without dementia.

My mother loved her time at Nodens Manor. The variety of activities available kept her active and stimulated. She enjoyed the food too. Her only problem was being able to switch the TV on and find the channel she wanted and then change the channel later. She needed help to do this every time. The LG system is not user-friendly.

Caring at home for my husband who has Alzheimer's disease was/is challenging and sad in equal measure. The time came for us to find a team of carers for him. We particularly looked for places that provided a range of activities, had skilled, compassionate staff and pleasant surroundings. Respite care turned into permanent care as the move improved his quality of life.

A lovely first visit over to Nodens Manor to visit our friend. Wonderful team and environment. She is very lucky to have so many caring people around her. She's been there a month and is happy she made the decision to move in. We enjoyed a tea and cake with her - victoria sponge! Thank you.

Mum enjoyed the choice of food with varied options each day, and she loved the Tai Chi class she joined in on! Thankyou to the entire team.

I visited Nodens Manor a number of times to see and support a friend who lived there. She was very happy during her long stay there, and well cared for in her final days. The team appeared caring, thoughtful and kind, supporting us and her with any requests. Nothing felt too much of an ask, and we were always made to feel at home as much as she was. She has a lovely room which opened onto a garden which she thoroughly enjoyed on the sunny days, and she made some wonderful friendships. We wouldn't hesitate to call Nodens Manor if we needed to come into a home one day after seeing how happy our friend was there. Thank you to the whole team for making her so happy in your care.

Always looking forward to going back.

I would highly recommend this care home.

My husband stayed at Nodens Manor for a week's respite care, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptionally wonderful care he received! Every detail of his personal needs were thoughtfully taken care of, not only the actual high standard of the accommodation but the excellence and compassion of the staff made him and me feel better for the experience, I'll be happy to leave him again, whenever I need to. A very big thank you to all at Nodens!

We can't thank the team enough for all they did for Nan and us through her stay. We'd reccomend Nodens over and over again to anyone considering a place here.
