My husband has been at Oak View for just over three months. In that time, despite his dementia deteriorating rapidly, he has always been well looked after, treated with kindness and care, supporting him to retain his dignity and independence, as much as possible. He is safe, warm, and comfortable in
a lovely environment. The staff really understand the meaning of 'care', which is a joy to see in sometimes very challenging circumstances.

My dad has been living at this care home since August 2025 and overall we've been very pleased with the care he's received. The staff are kind, patient and caring and they treat residents with dignity & respect. Communication with the family has been good, and its reassuring to know eh is being looked
after properly. The home itself is clean and welcoming and there's a calm, friendly atmosphere. Well done.

My husband is cared for in Oak View with kindness & compassion. His food is carefully and thoughtfully prepared and the staff look after him with care and attention. All the staff are kind and thoughtful and carry out their duties with cheerful good humour. They are always smiling and providing a kind
and happy atmosphere for the patients. I cannot praise them highly enough for the excellent job they carry out.

Excellent home from cleaners to management. A friendly welcome on each visit the resident i visit is all care and is always washed dressed and comfortable. The food is a good variety and seldom does she leave any. The room is bright clean and comfortable

I am very pleased with Shedfield Lodge. The staff have made me very welcome, in fact they have made me feel at home here, which is very comforting and my wife is being very well cared for, which is paramount to me.

I cannot express how excellent the care of my mum was at Oak View Care Home. She was there 4 years and the love and care for her was excellent. We always felt welcome when we visited and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were so caring and understanding when my mum became poorly and she could
not have been in a better place. Thank you to all the staff and keep up your good work.
Reply from Lauren Geach, Assistant at Oak View Residential Care HomeThanks you for your kind words about the team at Oak View. We really appreciate you taking the time to write us a review and are pleased to hear the care your mum received was excellent. It's also lovely to know how welcomed you felt during your visits to the home.

I wanted to write to someone in authority to express my thanks for the way the Team at Hunters Lodge have been looking after my father. It is nothing short of AMAZING.
You can therefore imagine how distressed we all were when that time came. Mum, 87, simply couldn't manage and it was becoming a living
hell for both. As a result, we visited Hunters Lodge whilst Dad was in hospital and decided to move him in straight from the hospital to Hunters. It was a difficult few weeks whilst he settled. As a family we felt that we had betrayed him.
To sit there today and see my ' hero ' with a smile on his face and happy with life, is something I thought was long gone. So, please, pass on a BIG THANK YOU to everyone. It is greatly appreciated. That love they show to the residents also extends to the family members who are always welcomed by the staff with open arms.

My husband has only been a resident for a short time. From what I have seen the staff seem very caring and are aware of the movements of all the residents. I am made welcome when I visit. My husband is non-verbal but he smiles a lot so I assume that he is happy. I am sure that he is very well cared

My Father was diagnosed with Ahlzeimers in 2024, having placed Dad in another local home it became apparent that with Dad only being 69, he was to active and aware of his surroundings than the home were equipped to deal with and his stay became very uncomfortable for him and us as a family.
We feel
both grateful and lucky to have found the team at Hunters Lodge, they immediately assured us they could accommodate and work with Dad given he was still very active and had not lost his sense of humour. We immediately witnessed a positive change and through care, patience and understanding of the welfare needs he became incredibly comfortable and happy in this environment and in turn so did we.
His level of care and the dedication shown towards him was faultless, the environment is fun, bright, clean and enjoyable for residents and families. Sadly Dad passed in August, we were truly humbled by the care, diligence, compassion and accommodating nature.
We could not recommend more highly
Reply from Lauren Geach, Assistant at Hunters LodgeThank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It is so wonderful to hear that you feel your father was well taken care of by our team. We are very sorry for your loss. It is always a pleasure to be entrusted with the care of people's loved ones.

The most amazing, caring staff, nothing is ever too much trouble. The care they gave to my mother has been wonderful . Every member of staff are all so gentle, patient, never stressed or rushed. Their communication with us couldn't be faulted. An extremely good care home, couldn't recommend them highly
enough to any relatives wishing to give their loved ones the best care!
Reply from Lauren Geach, Assistant at Hunters LodgeThank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate your feedback. It's great to hear your experience with our team has been so positive.

We have been so impressed with Hunters Lodge since my frail Mother was admitted 7 weeks ago. The staff have gone to great lengths to tailor care to my mother's needs, the staff are excellent, the food is always hot and delicious, and she has been treated with great kindness. The staff went above and
beyond to organise and host a wonderful afternoon tea for my mother's 100th birthday, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It makes a great difference to my sisters and I to know she is in good hands.
Reply from Lauren Geach, Assistant at Hunters LodgeThank you so much for your kind words. It's lovely to hear that you and your family feel supported and that your mum is receiving the care she needs. We do enjoy celebrating milestones with our wonderful residents and their families. It was an absolute pleasure to do so for your mum's 100th birthday.
