In my experience with staff members I can only say good things, they treat my father very well. His room is always tidy and clean. He is always well-presented in clean clothes and freshly showered. They treat him with the utmost respect and always have a good laugh and joke with him.

The staff at Acorn Lodge are very welcoming and consider the residents as their own. They treat the residents with the utmost respect and care. They are very attentive to the resident's needs. Acorn Lodge is maintained and cleanliness is to a high standard. Staff have made all efforts to make Acorn Losge feel like an actual home to which residents are more than comforted as opposed to feeling clinical. Thank you for all the efforts put into caring for my grandfather.

My husband was out into this home after his stay in hospital. I think we have been very lucky, the staff have been very caring and helpful. My husband has always looked clean and tidy. My husband hasn't always been the easiest to look after but I feel he is looked after very well.

My interaction with staff members has been good. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. However, it is perhaps my father's experience that is more relevant and since he suffers from dementia, it is difficult to know whether there is in truth any basis for complaints that he has reported.
