Overall Experience

Mum came into Heath Lodge Care Home in Feb 2023, one of 3 first residents. Early settling difficulties were managed well. The home has grown well, to 56 residents, under the excellent management of the manager & her professional team.
Mum is well cared for, both physically & emotionally. Nothing is

too much trouble for staff, from managers & admin, cleaning, carers, caterers & activity staff. Mum gradually joining in with a few activities now.

Overall Experience

My 94 year old Mum was in Coronation House for a month's respite care/rehab following a fall at home and also 2x hospital stays. From the very first phone call and then the initial meeting at my mum's house, we knew that Coronation House was going to be good for our family. During her stay, we were

all impressed by the care given and the friendliness of all staff. It was lovely to be able to visit our Mum at any time, and also to be able to make tea/coffee whilst there. My mum had initially been resistant to staying, but agreed in the end that it was a lovely place and that the care given was excellent. Thank you!

Reply from jan gibbs, Regional Manager at Coronation House

Thank you so much for your very kind words. The manager and her team spoke very fondly of your Mum and said what a lovely lady she was and that it was a privilege to care for her. We are all really pleased that she had a wonderful time and that you were pleased with the care she received.

Overall Experience

My friend has been resident here for two years. He loves it. The care he has received is fantastic. He can be awkward and grumpy sometimes because of his dementia but the carers take all in their stride with him making him laugh and change his mood. Nothing is too much trouble, and he, despite his reluctance

at first to come into a care home, recognises that he is safe and secure with a caring, friendly atmosphere, it's the best place for him.

Reply from Jan Gibbs, Regional Manager at Broadlands Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much for your very kind feedback. We really do value your time to do this. I am so pleased to hear of that the manager and her team have been able to provide a safe and caring environment. We will certainly make sure the team see your feedback.

Overall Experience

I have visited Woodland Court several times since it opened, most recently to play The Last Post on VE Day. The staff are so kind and welcoming, which helps create a very relaxed atmosphere for residents and visitors alike. The Head of Entertainment, has a great spirit, which is exactly what is needed

in a care setting. And the chef's food was superb for the VE Day lunch. My father was in care in another excellent home, so I can safely say that Woodland Court is among the best. I greatly look forward to my next visit.

Overall Experience

My parents were really looked after at Coronation house whilst enjoying some well needed respite. The staff were friendly, caring and always professional in their work. The residence itself is beautiful and more like a hotel than a care home. My parents are vegetarian (and fussy eaters) and they thoroughly

enjoyed the varied menu. My mother has complex medical needs that require timely medication and this was taken care of perfectly. I confidently recommend this loving care home to anyone who is looking for the very best care for their loved ones, it's amazing.

I am delighted to hear that your parents had a wonderful time at Coronation House and that our team were able to meet with your expectations.

Heath Lodge Care Home
from Kevin H (Son of Resident) published on 28 April 2025

Overall Experience

My mum relocated to Heath Lodge following a hip replacement. From the first day I found the care to spot on. She needs quite a bit of personal care assistance which is provided with great care and respect. It takes skill and patience to do this without causing distress. Mum has quite bad dementia although

she has great humour about her. However they are well able to deal with quirky conversations. Oh, and they make a great cup of tea - essential for mum!

Reply from jan gibbs, Regional Manager at Heath Lodge Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We genuinely appreciate your feedback as it helps us to understand where we can improve and enhance the experience for our residents. I'm so pleased to hear that you found the care to be 'spot on' and that your mother was treated with care and dignity. i will certainly ensure your feedback is passed onto Hazel and her team.

Overall Experience

The experience of visiting Heath Lodge was excellent. This very much includes the combination of both carers and residents. Along with the environment, location and space - Indoors and out. During a visit over many days, the experiences was one of harmony, perhaps uniquely found within a holistic elderly

care environment. The kindness, compassion and communication of staff was very apparent and appreciated. The home is modern, new and designed with much deep consideration for its users. It felt closer to a comfortable retreat with well designed rooms and communal spaces located around an outdoor space with excellent potential. New trees, blooms and accessible flower beds are a continuous process, informed and inspired by residents ideas. Sitting out in the sun you'd be forgiven for thinking you were enjoying a holiday. Restorative respite at its best. I left feeling confident family thrive at Heath Lodge

Overall Experience

Mum was the first resident here for a week of respite care and the staff couldn't have been more attentive. The kitchen staff cooked just what she asked for and the portions were very generous, building mum up and going over and above to make mum feel at home. Obviously as the home is brand new, the

fixtures and fittings are immaculate, comfy and well thought out. The staff took time to get to know mum, her history, her likes and dislikes. We even popped back for a cup of tea and cake and the staff were so welcoming and spent time chatting with mum and me and making her feel special. We will definitely be using this home again. She did plenty of activities and although she has Alzheimer's the staff were patient and stimulated her brain with lots of different activities. Lovely people, nothing is too much trouble for them. The price is competitive. Not the cheapest in the area but not the most expensive. Certainly cheaper than some which are nowhere near the high standard of this one

Overall Experience

On the whole a good experience. Could do with more staff at times and there were variations in the quality of the food, particularly in the cooking.
Considering the cost I think the standard should be better,
There were no managers available over the weekends which is very surprising

Reply from jan gibbs, Regional Manager at Heath Lodge Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback regarding your experience. Of course we are disappointed that not all of your expectations have been met and as we take all feedback seriously, please be assured that your comments will be discussed with our team. I can advise you that whilst our General Manager and Care Manager' working hours are mainly Monday to Friday, they do provide management cover at the weekend and of course we always have a Unit Manager covering the whole weekend.

Overall Experience

I have held off writing a review for Heath Lodge Care Home for three months to ensure I got a very clear picture of the home, the staff, food, activities and overall care of my mother who is living with dementia....
I can now say, without a shadow of a doubt that Heath Lodge is an absolutely fantastic

Care Home in my opinion. I visit my mother a couple of times a week and after the initial settling in period, which is always tricky with dementia, she is now very happy. All of the staff are friendly, caring, polite and calm, they seem to genuinely care and know every resident well. The meals are delicious and mum always clears her plate (as do I when I join her for lunch!). There are daily activities which are varied and stimulating. The bedrooms are beautiful, my mother's has a door onto the enclosed garden which she loves. I genuinely can not fault this place and rave about it to my friends. It is such a relief to know my mum can spend the rest of her life in such a luxurious Home.

Reply from jan gibbs, Regional Manager at Heath Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your very kind feedback and I am pleased that you have found Heath to be the right home for your Mother. It is always a very daunting experience finding a new home for our loved ones, our team understand this, and they do their very best to make every day special. I will certainly pass on your feedback to our team.

Overall Experience

I have been hugely impressed by Coronation House. The staff show genuine care for the residents, spend time with them, encouragement do things for themselves, show signs of knowing them well individually. They are very responsive to the resident's needs. Everytime I visit (on average every 2 weeks)

some kind of activity is underway, singing, dancing, quizzes, film shows etc. The food looks very good. The rooms and decor are fantastic. The staff is very welcoming to visitors. They are clearly proud of where they work. As with the every care home I have visited, I do wonder if residents get enough vitamin D! I love the clothe labelling - v. efficient + works!

Reply from jan gibbs, Regional Manager at Coronation House

Thank you for your feedback. it is so pleasing to read your comments as all our staff are very passionate about the care and service they provide to our residents. i can assure you that residents do go out for walks and trips and are actively encouraged to enjoy the sunshine when we finally have some.

Overall Experience

My mum has now been a resident of Woodland Court for just over a month and I can honestly say the level of care she has received could not have been better. Within two weeks, the staff had been able to get my mum more mobile again and she has put on weight following a stay in hospital. Of course the

home is new so fresh and clean but it is the staff and mangement that make this home special and the best in Great Yarmouth (in my opinion having tried mum in 4 other local care homes).

Mum has temporarily been in Broadland Lodge whilst we wait for the home in Gorleston to open, and I would say the care she has received has been excellent. We have tried Mum in several homes previously for respite, and Broadland Lodge is by far the best we have tried. The staff are the most supportive

and caring I have come across. I can only hope and wish that the same standards are applied to the new one in Gorleston.

Reply from Jan Gibbs, Regional Manager at Broadlands Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much for your very kind words. I am so pleased to hear how well your Mum was cared for in our home. I feel sure your Mum will equally enjoy her stay at Woodland Court. Another beautiful home with dedicated staff. I will make sure your feedback is given to the team at Broadlands.

Having had a serious fall, my mum needed some additional help and care to aid her recovery. Coronation House have gone above and beyond to help her recover and have given her excellent care over the last two weeks. The staff are wonderful and kind, nothing has been too much trouble. I would recommend

Coronation House to anyone who needs respite, or any full time care needs.
