Amazing staff that provide excellent day to day care. Friendly, supportive and encouraging.
Recently experienced a choking incident which was handled compassionately and professionally, providing support to resident and family. Staff stayed afterwards to provide reassurance after the event which was
so welcomed at the time.
Lovely environment with a lovely team whoever is on duty.

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
Making people smile and bringing back memories matters
Well done

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.

My father in law was resident at Butterfly Lodge. He was wonderfully cared for. The staff are amazing and the home is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. Food is super and lots of great activities.

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.
