Had an absolutely wonderful afternoon yesterday with the children of the local school coming to interact with the Residents and family's ,
The home Activities coordinator Kelly was amazing organising the children to come and play games on a one to one basis with the residents
,
The home Had some lovely games to play and the children interacted with each and everyone of the residents
Bringing back great memories of there children/Grandchildren ,
The smiles from the Residents faces and the children for awareness of older people living in these sad times with this awful illness,
Thank you Butterfly Lodge and thank you for organising the wonderful children taking time to do this

Warm & welcoming staff on arrival. Helpful & enthusiastic. Nothing was to much trouble. My Uncle looked amazingly well. He was happy & upbeat and said he is happy within the establishment. We were brought teas & biscuits during our visit. Overall a feel good factor around and other residents appeared
to be happy.
We, as a family felt comfortable throughout our visit.

Would just like to say what a wonderful nursing home this is
I don't visit very often but when I do I'm always made to feel so welcome
Everyone goes above and beyond in this home
Always happy to help
I feel that my mother in-law is very cared for and very happy in this home
I would like to
say that my mother in-law was at another home that was not like this
They care and they understand what families are going through and most of all what residents need
Thank you

This is a review for my nan, who has been at Butterfly Lodge for over 12 months. After having to remove her from another care home, Butterfly Lodge has completely restored our faith.
A care home is truly about the carers and staff, and everything I have seen since my nan became a resident has been
nothing but kindness and genuine care. There are always lots of activities, residents are treated with dignity and warmth, and everyone looks well cared for and well presented.
I can't thank Butterfly Lodge staff enough for the love and care they have shown my nan - it gives our family real peace of mind knowing she is safe, happy, and respected.

A beautiful home all round. I can't fault the service they provide, my grandad is well looked after and he's happy. They do so many different activities so it's not just care they do they bring joy and happiness and love. There is never any concern about my grandads care, he is safe and happy and definitely
at home at butterfly lodge

My Mum entered Butterfly Lodge on 8th December 25.
The ethos is compassion, caring and inclusion and the lovely staff are committed to all these and more.
They have a lovely garden the residents can use in the summer months and do trips out in their mini bus.
The meals are very good with excellent
menu choices with bright and airy dining area.
The care really is first class.

I was more than happy with mum moving to Butterfly Lodge. I knew staff previously which was one of the reasons i was happy. The fact the staff were still in place spoke volumes. The layout the cleanliness all played a part. The staff were attentive and happy to answer any questions. I was updated
about care when needed, I was made to feel welcome. When mum passed the support I was given was touching. They came and embraced me whilst others attended to mum.
She wasn't just a resident, she was cared for, for who she was and will hold the home in high esteem.
I will leave top marks because of how I found the home to deserve.

My sister-in-law came to Butterfly Lodge April last year from a Care Home due to many falls and has been so well cared for since arriving. She has 24/7 nursing care which is outstanding, her carers have/are the best you could wish for and ALL the staff from from management to the rest of the wonderful
crew can't be faulted. Would highly recommend this lovely Home to anyone looking to have a family member who needs nursing care.

I cannot thank the whole Butterfly team enough for their amazing care, professionalism, and outstanding approach to residents and their families.
Mum had been a resident at a previous care home, which did not cater for her needs, and it gave me great concern about moving her. From day one my concerns
were no longer with regard to how she was cared for and treated.
Every member of the team treated her with respect, and great care. Mum was medically looked after which is obviously essential, but the wider picture of keeping her spirts up, treating her like a member of the family, made the difficult situation of a loved one needing care, much better than expected.
Mum loved the activities and the opportunities to get out and about. She was happy, and enjoyed lots of singing and dancing, which was incredible given the circumstances that the dementia created for her. Seeing her smiling, enjoying herself was very precious. Cannot recommend enough. Fantastic team and words are not enough.

Ever since Mum arrived the home staff have done all they can to ensure Mum is comfortable, safe, well looked after and included where possible with other residents.
The staff are happy, friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
We couldn't ask for a nicer place for Mum to be, we know she is cared
for & safe and that is all we ever want for her.

After being placed in a nursing home chosen by the NHS after a stay in hospital ; fast tracked as "end of life" , Mum had a miserable stay in a totally unsuitable and uncaring nursing home where she was going downhill fast.We were so lucky to find Butterfly Lodge had a vacancy 6 months ago and the
change in Mum has been totally amazing! She is now moving around (quite often without her frame) and giving the staff the run around . She has put on weight and she has now got rid of the constant cough that she had! She is eating things that she would never have eaten before ( although she is very fussy) ,and she joins in the games and many events that are on in the lounge.On her 98th birthday she was taken out to the memory cafe where she spent the morning dancing.The turnaround in her well-being has been unbelievable and is all thanks to the caring and lovely staff who are always ready with a smile and a hug.She is still under "end of life" but she is now in the best possible place.
Reply from Clare Sinclair, Manager at Butterfly LodgeThankyou Nikki for your lovely review it is certainly great to see your mum doing so well.

Mum moved to Deer Park at the end of December 2025.
She has been welcomed warmly and is cared for by a friendly happy team of great carers and nurses who understand mum and have the experience and ability to care for her.
Other members of the family have been to visit had have remarked that the
atmosphere at Deer Park is happy and friendly, inviting, clean and bright with some fantastic light elements, the staff are kind and are happy to help- tea is always available :)
Reply from Suzanne Evans, Registered Manager at Deer Park Nursing HomeThank you so much for your lovely feedback. It was a big step for your Mum to move to Deer Park, so I'm pleased she's settled in well. She's such a lovely lady, and a pleasure to care for.
It's good to hear that you are all pleased with the friendly, welcoming atmosphere - the team enjoys making everyone feel at home and we'll keep the tea flowing!
Thanks again for your kind words and for trusting us with your Mum's care.

My 99 year old Mum was the first resident to arrive at Deer Park when it recently reopened. As the only resident she was treated like royalty and as more and more residents arrive she continues to receive the same wonderful care and, when required, nursing. From the very beginning when Mum was being
considered for discharge from North Devon Hospital I was constantly contacting Sue, the manager at DP, to see if they were ready to take new residents. The responses were always prompt and very reassuring and thankfully we got a call to say that DP were ready to welcome her.
It's a worrying time for family but the whole team whether it be Sue or Nic (admin) or any of the nursing or care team have removed almost all of those concerns as we know she is safe, warm and extremely well cared for. One other aspect worthy of mention is the food. The quality and variety of meals offered is exceptional, it all just adds to the knowledge that my Mum couldn't be in a better place.
Reply from Suzanne Evans, Registered Manager at Deer Park Nursing HomeThank you so much, Chris, for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review.
It was a true honour for us that your Mum was the very first resident to join us when Deer Park reopened under Camelot Care , and she will always hold a very special place in the home. She is such a lovely lady and a delight to care for.
We understand it's a worrying time and so it really means a lot to us to know that the team has helped put your mind at ease. Your kind words will be shared with them all - they will be very proud.
We are also delighted that you have been pleased with the quality of care and meals your Mum receives - I shall pass it on to the kitchen!. Knowing that she feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for is our greatest priority.
Thank you again for your trust and for your lovely feedback.
