The Lodge

from Clare H (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving my Dad into a care home was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. My Dad is 88 years old and lives with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's disease.


The sensitivity, compassion, and kindness shown by Clare and her team have been exceptional. Clare leads her team with genuine

care, focus, and attentiveness, creating a warm and supportive environment dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for both my Dad and all the residents at The Lodge.


The building and grounds are peaceful and calming, while the atmosphere within The Lodge is welcoming, safe, and friendly.


I have absolutely no doubts about our decision to move my Dad into The Lodge. I feel reassured, settled, and happy knowing that he is receiving the specialist care, support, and kindness that he truly deserves.


Thank you, Clare and the entire team.

Reply from Clare Hatcher, Care Manager at The LodgeThankyou so much for your review, we understand how difficult these times can be and are happy you feel reassured with choosing The Lodge.

The Lodge

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Placing and then leaving one of your parents in a Care Home is a very worrying time for any relation and it was the same for us, but my Mother-in-law, who has been in the caring hands of the Staff at The Lodge in Maldon for 3 years now, has been thoroughly cared for and looked after much more than we
could have ever hoped for.
The difference it seems at this Care Home is, that each and every member of Staff DO care and look after all Residents with kindness and professionalism.
At this particular Home the care is 'all rounded', apart from looking after the Residents, they enjoy good food, parties, indoor and outdoor events, regular entertainment and involvement with seasonal activities such as Easter and Christmas and Birthdays for each Resident is celebrated individually.
It is very comforting to know that Mum is in a safe and happy place and that she is well looked after at all times.
Thanks to all the hard work given by the Staff and the Manager Clare at The Lodge in Maldon.
Reply from Clare Hatcher, care manager at The LodgeThank you so much for such lovely words. Your mum is a pleasure to care for and I'm happy to hear how well cared for you feel she is. I will pass your kind words onto the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been living at Manor Rest Home for a few months now and I am full of praise for Sandra and the team.


Mum has complex physical and emotional needs related to mobility issues and mixed dementia. The carers take great care to provide a safe, clean, fun, and stimulating environment.


I

have been able to contribute to her care plan, and receive regular updates and photos of the many activities in which mum is participating. Some of these activities, such as arts and crafts, mum is doing for the first time in years.


She has put on weight and tells us when we visit how lovely everybody is, "they're my friends" she says.

Reply from Sandra Beniuse, Register Manager at Manor Rest HomeThank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that your mum is happy at Manor Rest Home and enjoying the activities and friendships she has made. It means a great deal to the team to know that our care and support are making a positive difference. Thank you for your trust and continued support.

My Grandad has Advanced Alzheimer's and has been at Manor Rest Home for about 6 years. He is very well looked after, and has settled in well. We wouldn't move him now. The staff are very welcome and all very friendly, when visiting they cannot do enough for us and you can see the care they have for
their other residents. They do great activities daily, including parties for family members to join. We get regular updates on our grandad through a social media group. We couldn't recommend them enough and are very grateful for the love and care our Grandad has received over the last years.
Reply from Sandra Beniuse, Register Manager at Manor Rest HomeThank you so much for your wonderful review. We are honoured to have cared for your Grandad over the last few years.

What can I say, my father has been at The Lodge for 10 months now and I can honestly say We as a family have no complaints. My father is cared for amazingly from everyone who works there. He is happy, safe, well fed and healthy.
I had Christmas dinner with my dad at The Lodge and it was like home
from home with a lovely Christmas dinner, the atmosphere was great.
Leading upto Christmas there was entertainment for the residents nearly every day which was wonderful.
I am so happy that we found The Lodge to care for my dad and I would definitely recommend this care home, as it's homely and has that personnel touch to all residents.
Thank you all at The Lodge for your support and care towards my dad.

The Lodge

from Peter B (Son of Resident) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a delightful warm and caring environment, I totally recommend the friendly, happy, cosy, and kind atmosphere at The Lodge. Exactly a year ago, my Mother and Father were really struggling, and we looked at 20+ places for them, and chose The Lodge, due to its welcoming and homely atmosphere. This
has proved a great choice, and it really feels just like being at home.


The Lodge helped us, and our mother, to deal with the heartbreaking loss of our Father a couple of months later, and what feels like an extended family of carers and indeed other residents at The Lodge make every day there special, safe, and friendly. If you are thinking of a spot for respite, or for longer term care, I really recommend this place, and these people.


The team at the Lodge has recently won a string of awards, which are are richly deserved. The home maintains a group messaging chat, which gives updates every day of the interesting and varied activities, and keeps everyone updated; really lovely!

Reply from Clare Hatcher, care manager at The LodgeThankyou for such a warm hearted review, i will pass your kind words on to all the staff, it is an absolute pleasure to have cared for both your parents.

Even though my lovely dad only spent a short time at the home, he made a big impression on the staff. All the staff, without exception, were 100% committed to making my dad's stay as comfortable as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They also comforted family members when the strain got
too much to bear. When Dad finally died, the compassion shown by all the staff was welcome. Two members of staff attended Dad's funeral. I cannot recommend Manor enough for everything they do. Thank you.
Reply from Sandra Beniuse, Register Manager at Manor Rest HomeThank you so much for your kind words.

I cannot state how amazing all of the staff and management have helped my father.
When my Dad first went into care he was unable to walk! Now he is up dancing and is integrating in activities.
I'm currently house bound with Mental Health issues and the guilt I feel not being able to see my father
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.

Dad has been at The Lodge for just over a year now.
I can't fault the care he receives and the fact that he has a dedicated carer means that his care is personal to him. He is not just another resident.
Communication between the carers / management and resident's families is excellent and no reasonable
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.
Reply from Clare Hatcher, care manager at The LodgeI am pleased to hear such wonderful feedback on our activities, thankyou for your lovely comments.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It's a little tricky for me to write a comprehensive review as I don't visit Manor Rest Home very often and my brother isn't particularly communicative so it's difficult to say unless I was there for a significant time period. What I would say is that since the relatively recent management change, the
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.

My mum has been at The Lodge since July 2021.
It has always been a really caring place, with excellent staff. Since new management have taken over it has gone from strength to strength. It is comforting to know that my darling mum is looked after by professional but top tier caring staff. Food has
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.

Manor Rest Home has been quite transformed under the new management. Residents are entertained and involved in many activities. My dad is a reluctant participant but he seems to be enjoying himself and I have noticed a more positive demeanour in him and his fellow residents. I do not visit very often
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!
