My husband had Alzheimer's disease and was admitted to Acorn Lodge after he'd been hospitalised after a stroke and heart attack. He was treated with care and dignity even though staff were under great pressure due to covid19 restrictions. I wasn't able to see his room or all of the facilities, but I know that he was happy and at ease whenever I went to see him. He was able to get far better care in a home that had trained staff. He also had more company than he'd have at home.

I find this home very friendly. Run well and not too regimented. Management and staff are aware that this is the resident's home and therefore they must be allowed to treat it as such as far as is possible.

While only with Acorn Lodge for four months, we found this to be a very positive experience for dad and family. Staff were very affectionate to dad, they grew to know him/his character very quickly, treating him as an individual and responding to his needs. There was an excellent variety of activities, including at weekends. The opportunity to visit different environments (the pub, café, library, sensory room etc) provided good stimulus. Communications between staff and with family were excellent. It would be good to see displays of activities (photos) so visitors get a feel of the positive work. Good home cooked meals too.
