Care Homes Owned by Aunjali Johar

My Mother was treated with dignity and kindness throughout her stay by all the staff at Astral Lodge. I was sent regular messaging app updates from the staff also, as I live in London . I visited her frequently, took her out to local amenities and enjoyed the communal garden with my Mother, who had dementia. I was fortunate to be with my Mum when she passed. All the staff were supportive, professional and kind to me at that painful time. I recommend this Care Home highly

Staff are friendly, interact with residents in a warm fashion & make them feel human & valued. A very clean & comfortable homely feel, not like a sterile institution. Every one is treated with dignity & respect. Lots of activities for mind & body. Choice of meals every day. I cannot find fault with anything & my mother is very happy to be there. It is such a relief that she is safe & so well looked after.

My brother has been in Aarandale Lodge for the last nine years. From day one the home provided the best care we could hope for. He settled quickly with their help and it became his home. They always kept me informed of any medical needs etc. for my brother. The manageress must be mentioned who did anything, she demanded of her staff and often joined them, helping, etc. Even to the passing of my brother, who was in palliative care, they allowed him to stay at the home (he called his home) rather than go to hospital. One of the staff was with him at the end. I cannot praise this team enough. He was taken out in a wheelchair, enjoyed activities and music provided in the home. Food with a menu every day with cook knowing his favourites. I absolutely recommend Aarandale Lodge to anyone.

Mum has settled in very well and has started to meet new friends and join in various activities.

For several years Mum was a resident at Astral Lodge Care Home. During the last two and a half years of her life , she was bedridden and required much care and attention. The staff at Astral Lodge were marvellous and looked after her wonderfully. They were very caring and attentive and they always did their very best to make her comfortable and care for all her needs. All the staff ( management and care staff) were very friendly and approachable and they always made me very welcome when I visited Mum. I always left Astral Lodge knowing that Mum was in very safe hands.

My dad stayed at Astral Lodge for a month after his stroke. The staff were very kind and friendly and looked after him well. I was happy with the care he received whilst he was there. My dad was eventually moved to a care home that specialised in stroke rehabilitation which is what he needed.

They showed care & compassion throughout & Mums dignity was respected at all times.

I have nothing negative to say and would recommend Astral Lodge to anyone looking for a caring, professional and family orientated place for their loved one.

Both my aunt and uncle were diagnosed with dementia within weeks of each other in 2024. It as a huge shock to the family when they were placed into the care of Aarandale Lodge. All our worries and concern for their welfare just disappeared over the weeks, we could see how well they were treated by all the staff, the care they have, and most recently (July 2025) our uncle had to have a major operation, but just 4 weeks later he is eating well, more repsonsive, and looks content. This is certainly down to the care he and our auntie both receive at Aarandale Lodge

It was a home from home, the staff were compassionate yet remained fun. This was essential for my mum. Even in the last days, the exceptional care and love showed. The kindness they gave mum was also extended to us. In my advancing years, I hope to find a place to rest just like this. P.S. The restaurant was fab.

The staff at Arandale Lodge are always very welcoming and continue to provide a high standard of care for mum. She appears well and content with her environment, which is consistent on every visit. We also appreciate that mum's individual needs are being met. Her room and personal belongings are spotless! We are so happy as a family that she is being so well looked after, which is very reassuring.

My Mother moved to Aarandale Lodge in December 2025 and lived there until July 2025. When she first moved in, Mum was fairly active and enjoyed the activities and facilities on offer. Unfortunately her health deteriorated fairly quickly and she became bed bound. I can only praise the Manager, and her lovely team for looking after Mum on every step of her difficult journey and for enabling her family to be as involved as we were.

The care given to our mum for the 20 months she spent at Aarandale Lodge was first class. The high standard of cleanliness and support given by the staff was excellent. The last few days of my mum's life their care and concern for her was exemplary. Thank you the manager and all at Aarandale Lodge.

I visit every week to see my brother. The staff are always working hard and very friendly. I know my brother is happy and is very well cared for. He has a television in his room and can watch the sports that he loves. Excellent.

Aarandale Lodge is very well managed by the manager. She responds promptly to email communciation and deals quickly with issues and queries. Her team are polite and responsible. They always treat residents with dignity, care and respect. My mother always looks clean and well cared for. The staff put energy and effort into activities to keep residents entertained and post these onto a private group on social media. I would recommend the care home to anyone. It is great value for money.

Always a warm reception when I arrive to see Mum. Mum is treated very well. She is bedridden so doesn't get to the activities but if the activities can get to Mum...they do!

My mum is a resident and has been for the past five years. She has always been looked after well and the staff and manager are friendly and efficient. She likes it there and enjoys the entertainment they have for the residents.

Our mum has recently come to stay at Astral Lodge, and so far, we as a family have found the home itself has a nice feel to it, and the staff are very welcoming. The manager has corresponded with us on how our mum has been settling in; she also asked about our mum's hobbies and present interests, which is nice as it shows that they want to know about her likes and dislikes to help her whilst she settles.

Astral Lodge looked after our lovely relative for nearly 2 years until he sadly passed away. The staff were always so friendly and helpful with anything we asked. He always looked well cared for, was always clean and was always happy to be in the company of the staff. We were always welcomed when visiting and were invited to events they held and, if we were unable to attend, would be sent pictures of Uncle enjoying himself at them. We will be forever grateful for everyone's care and patience with him at the home. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who has a loved one with dementia needing great care.

We have been very lucky to find Astral Lodge for our mum. The staff are caring and friendly, providing a calm and relaxed atmosphere which is very welcoming. The manager is always approachable and sets the excellent tone of care, which I feel is second to none. We are so pleased with the care that my mother-in-law has now moved into the home too. Would highly recommend it to others.
