Gate Lodge

The small setting is just perfect and they go the extra mile to celebrate calendar festivities.

We could not ask for a better place for my mum. She is being so well looked after, all of the staff are lovely people and you can tell they genuinely care about the residents. She is very happy here and we are happy knowing that she's in safe hands.

Thank you to all the staff there!

I find it a very friendly place. Very clean and doesn't smell which is very important to me. Staff are very helpful.

My father was initially quite anxious, along with myself, as to how he will find moving to Gate Lodge after living for so long on his own. It was a challenging move but we all agree now it was the best decision we made. He is now eating and washing regularly and starting to put on the weight that he had slowly been losing over the years. He is a difficult man to please but he is very happy and content where he is now. I am always kept informed of his well-being and it's just very reassuring to know he is in safe hands. Thank you, Gate Lodge.

My mum has been at Gate Lodge for quite a few years now and is so happy and content. The staff know her well and care for her needs on a personal basis. The home is like a home from home, my mum loves the staff and is always smiling when I visit. I'm so glad I chose this home for my mum as opposed to one of the large homes. The monthly email updating us on the activities is a pleasure to receive and the Zoom Christmas Concert was fantastic. Gate Lodge has managed Covid-19 very well and has gone the extra mile to keep the care home Covid free.

We felt so lucky being able to place my uncle at Gate Lodge, as we had heard very good things. We have always felt that he is well cared for and his needs are more than met. Gate Lodge is a friendly, comfortable, family run home, with a small community of residents. My uncle is such a sociable person and had become lonely, especially during the pandemic. He needed to be around people and to have 24/7 care. I felt immense relief that we could get him a place at Gate Lodge, where he would receive the care he needed, but also have the opportunity to socialise with others and feel safe. Suffering from Alzheimer's was making him anxious living alone in his home, but at Gate Lodge he is able to take part in organised activities which stimulate him and have revived his bubbly personality. Gate Lodge are great at keeping the family and friends of residents informed and included, and updating us on the fun the residents seem to have! I trust and am grateful to the staff and managers. Thanks!

I had Gate Lodge recommended by my daughter's friend and it's the best thing that could have happened. My husband had been in hospital with lung cancer for five months and when we saw Gate Lodge we just knew it was right and he was treated very kindly by all the staff, especially as he could be a bit tricky. He has his own room which he can use at his pleasure when he wants. They do lots of activities and before Covid entertainers would come. I enjoy the email we get each month letting me know how much he's participated. Now it's warming up we shall be able to get some sunshine in the walled garden. These days he seems quite happy.

The staff are lovely and I always have a chat with them. I find them very supportive and helpful.

Gate Lodge have always been most considerate to my mother and have gone out of their way to meet her needs and make her comfortable and safe. They have made a commitment to her which I am so grateful for. They are always patient and kind and she has become very content.

I was very nervous of having to put my dad into a home but I have found the staff to be so helpful and understanding that it has made me more relaxed and my dad feels a lot calmer. He now has company and is given the time to be more active in himself where at home he was on his own apart from my visits daily and the carer. He is now kept to a routine for meals which is a good thing and I know that he is getting the nutrition that he needs. We were aloud to bring in personal things e.g T.V. Radio which made him feel more relaxed.

I consider us to be so lucky in finding this care home for my uncle. The staff are calm and gentle, nothing is too much trouble. They keep me informed and I really can't fault their care.
