Devon Lodge Residential Home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Devon Lodge is truly exceptional. The staff are warm and attentive - and go above and beyond to ensure every resident feels safe, valued and cared for. The environment is welcoming and homely. Activities are thoughtfully planned to keep residents engaged and happy, and communication with families
is always open and reassuring. It's clear that the team is passionate about what they do, and it makes all the difference. We could not be more happy and we love spending time with Mum in Devon Lodge.

The staff at Devon Lodge are so kind to my elderly brother and try to get him involved in all sorts of things that are going on even though he now finds it hard to join in due to his condition. He always looks clean and neat when I visit which is usually once a week and the staff are always very welcoming
to me. I know the food is very appetising as I have visited when it was lunchtime! All in all the whole atmosphere at the home is lovely. It's a proper home as far as I can see!!

Overall very satisfied but there is just one area that requires attention which has been raised and discussed. In the main, the staff are very good at keeping my mother safe and happy. The grounds are very well cared for. The increases in the fees is also always a concern.

I can fully relax knowing that Dad is being cared for 24/7 and is happy in his new environment. He likes to be in the public areas and garden during the day and interacts with far more people than he would living alone. The staff are very kind and inclusive. My family are always made very welcome when
we visit.

Reply from Stacey Pym, Registered Manager at Devon Lodge Residential Home

Hello,Thank you for your thoughtful message.We are pleased to hear that your father is content living at Devon Lodge. It's great to know he is socialising well. He enjoys watching the wildlife in the garden and reading his books. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to providing the best care for all our residents.Thanks again for taking the time to complete a review for Devon Lodge.

Devon Lodge Residential Home

from Richard F (Son of Resident) published on 16 July 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Mum has been at Devon Lodge for five and a half years now and we have always had a good relationship with the management and staff. Whilst it is regrettable that Mum's overall state-of-play has deteriorated considerably in the last 18 months or so (not due to Devon Lodge I hasten to add), it is clear
that she remains well cared for, treated with dignity always, and a valued resident. I'm not really able to comment on things such as activities these days as this is now well outside of Mum's capabilities, being mainly bed-bound and almost uncommunicative, but I have seen at first hand the staff feeding her with great patience and compassion, and generally making sure that she is still included with things such as therapy animal visits.
Communication with Devon Lodge has always been good, and they are good at making visiting family feel welcomed and looked after too. I have never had any regrets about making the choice on Mum's behalf of Devon Lodge, and they have never let us down.

Reply from Stacey Pym, Registered Manager at Devon Lodge Residential Home

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words and support as a family member. I understand your view regarding the larger group activities that Mum previously participated in, but which she no longer feels able to join due to her changing circumstances. It's wonderful to hear that she continues to enjoy her one-on-one sessions, especially her pamper sessions and the animal visits. These experiences are important for her well-being. I will make sure to share your positive feedback with the team at Devon Lodge. Thank you once again for your support.

So pleased how well my father-in-law has settled in at Devon Lodge after spending nearly 6 weeks in hospital. The staff have played a huge part in my father-in-law's recovery. When I visit, my father-in-law often comments how pleased he is with his new home. My wife and I attended the Christmas party
at Devon Lodge on Sunday 22 December. The entertainment, food and staff were all excellent. Heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Devon Lodge.

My aunt is very happy and well cared for at Devon Lodge. It is a small but cosy and homely residential home. Staff are kind, caring and accommodating.
The food menus are very nourishing and healthy. There are activities every day which are well thought out and the residents are asked what they'd
like to do. There are opportunities for pampering sessions like hairdressing, manicures and pedicures. The home is well maintained and the gardens are lovely.
I chose this home after visiting a few others in the area and it ticked all the boxes for my Aunts care and my peace of mind.

I visit every other week my long term best friend. The staff are always very happy to ensure that my friend is aware of the visit. We are always treated to tea and biscuits and made verywelcome. The residents are very well looked after and all seem happy whenever or whatever they are doing. The staff
always put themselves out for anyone but particularly the residents they ensure everyone is treated appropriately and with dignity.

Very poor lighting in my mum's room. In general, the rest of the residence is very dark and gloomy. The decor looks very old-fashioned and needs updating badly. Note activities for the residents is a much not nearly enough to keep them entertained them need an element of fun in their lives. The front
and back garden needs to be tidied and replanted. Looking uncared for especially the entrance. The ensuite carpet needs updating in my mum's room. Permanent staff are very kind and caring. Thank you.

Reply from Stacey Pym, Registered Manager at Devon Lodge Residential Home

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I can appreciate when residents do not wish to participate in all of the activities offered; it can be disheartening for family members when they visit. The activities are decided by the residents. We will continue to book entertainers and singers in addition to the gentle exercise classes and our usual activity staff members to ensure stimulation throughout. The proprietor is currently redecorating the entrance hall. I apologise if this makes the entrance look uncared for. The small lounge, known as the 'quiet lounge', is designed with dim lighting for people who would like to self-regulate their emotions if they may be overstimulated. We are happy to move a standing lamp in the quiet lounge during your visits to ensure Mum's comfort. Thank you for your understanding and your support, we have taken your points on board, thank you.
