and smartly dressed.
Management are always checking on residents and my dad, and always avalible to discuss my dads care.

is helped by the wonderful and numerous photos that are sent on the group they have set up.
The photos are amazing and I can just see the happiness on my Dads face. They are active in finding everything each individuals true likes and loves are/where and bring as much of that with their personalised interaction as possible. Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort that you put into caring for my father and everyone's else's beloved family member.

Her room is bright, fresh and clean, and her treasured possessions are carefully looked after, and she is always fresh and clean and comfortable, whatever curved-balls nature throws at her.

Initially both our parents came to The Lodge, and they helped us when Dad got very ill, and kept Mum comfortable when we lost Dad, and were just so kind, thoughtful, and caring.

If you're reading this review, you're probably going through what we went through when picking a place for your "next stop"; well we feel this has been a great choice, and the staff are absolutely superb; every single one!

If you are thinking of The lodge for yourself or a loved-one(s), I think this place is lovely!

all.

and involved to keep their minds working. My dad is so happy here which makes me happy knowing he is well cared for, well fed and safe 24 hours a day. I can't recommend The Lodge Care Home enough, its hard to think of your parent/s going into a care home but at the Lodge you have no worries as it's just an amazing place.

request is too much trouble.
The Lodge endeavours to regularly provide stimulating activities for the residents, employing a range of equipment, technologies and providers. Given the age profile of many of the residents, activities are targeted to ensure relevance, for example, the recent VE day celebration which was themed as a street party on the grounds at The Lodge.
They also try to maintain a connection between the residents and the community, often involving local schools and, where aporopriate, facilitating trips to places of interest.
Placing dad in the excellent care of The Lodge has brought peace of mind to our family, knowing he is safe, appreciated and well cared for.

communication has improved by the use of WhatsApp and text message and I welcome that. Also the activities which have been introduced are varied, relevant and accessible to all. I don't know if they were already in place but if they were, they weren't publicised as well as currently. I've always found the staff very pleasant when I've visited. The building itself is dated in places but I can already see improvements are beginning to be made in that respect.

always been and continues to be nourishing and varied, with really lovely personal touches like each resident having a cake baked especially for their birthdays. There are always activities and events going on and relatives are welcomed at all times. It's the little things like this that put 'home' into the care home. My family are very happy with the management, staff, facilities, food and accommodation. Lovely happy home.

as I live in Somerset, but I have felt the difference on my last couple of visits. Excellent work manager and team, it means a lot!

exemplary care and nursing skills.

The manager and deputy respond immediately to any concerns or requests and do their utmost to help. They always show such knowledge of my Mums needs and problems and they call the Dr/ nurse/ paramedic quickly for any health issues.

Visitors are made to feel so welcome and the door is always opened with a smile.

Having your loved one in a care home is the hardest and saddest situation but the Lodge gives you peace of mind that they are looked after in your absence.

very kind and caring . He loves the staff and has no complaints. He entertains and is being entertained.
We quite often get a lovely cup of coffee when visiting and the staff are all very welcoming when we arrive

happy here and when asked she says she likes it.
They have a hairdresser that goes in once a week for those wanting there hair done and a chiropodist that also goes on a regular basis, which is good for mum as she has diabetes and her feet need to be looked after.
Last year they had a Christmas party for the first time, which was lovely all members of family were invited along, and we were recently invited to a coffee morning but I was unable to attend.

her
The actual rooms could do with updating but I know this is going to be done when possible.
The room is always clean and tidy
The staff are very friendly and if you have a problem with anything there is always someone to talk to and try and put things right .
The one comment I would say who ever gets her dressed could take a bit more care in choosing what she wears ( thinking of the weather)
The new manager is on hand most of the time and she is always willing to help and talk with you .
Overall I'm really happy with care and like the home.

husband's mother is very happy and content there, she enjoys the company and very much enjoys the food. I personally would recommend this home to anyone looking to have a relative cared for because the staff are so kind and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and their involvement between themselves and us, (as relatives), is continuous to help keep on top of any concerns that we might have. (Nothing is too much trouble).
The location of The Lodge is very pleasant, the rooms are very clean and well kept and the food freshly cooked is outstanding.
We would definitely both recommend The Lodge as a good home to be considered for your relative!
