I can not commend highly enough Sydmar Lodge. Apart from the excellent care and attention they gave my 100-year-old mother, I was particularly impressed by their “end of life” reaction. My mother was in hospital when it was suggested she could return to the care home to end her life in familiar surroundings. I had no idea how the management would react to such a suggestion. I should have known better! The manager and her team could not have been more supportive. They liaised with the hospital to arrange a suitable bed to be sent to the home. As it happened, my mother slipped away, peacefully, sadly she couldn't be transferred back to Sydmar Lodge, but the willingness to accept my mother back under these circumstances reflects the genuine care and commitment of the manager and her team to the well-being of those in their care. For the avoidance of any doubt, this care extends to all those under their care, whatever their state of health is.
My father was a resident at Sydmar Lodge for approximately 18 months until his passing last month. He was not in the best of health but always was happy when we regularly visited. All the staff treated him with care and dignity and the managers always kept us updated in regard to any issues that...
They tried to involve him in as many activities as practical to try and ensure he was as engaged as possible (even though his dementia made this challenging), they really understood what he enjoyed.
We never had concerns about the level or quality of care he received and were very pleased with the way that Sydmar Lodge worked with us to ensure both his initial transition and continued care were planned.
Unfortunately, he had several stays in hospital, and again the home always ensure that both the transfer to/from and any changes to medical care were planned and implemented with the minimum of disruption.
Sydmar Lodge was definitely his second home.
Sydmar is a lovely home it has a nice atmosphere. My Mother is very well looked after day and night the staff are very attentive. Good variety of activities.

The employees seem attentive and take good care of their residents. I enjoy seeing the variety of activities that are on offer and do believe the therapies and classes help in brain recall. Keep up the efforts.

My brother and I looked at several care homes, most of which smelled of care homes. Sydmar is not like that. Everything is fresh and newly decorated/carpeted/floored.
There is something to do most days, morning and afternoon.
Being an independent care home means it’s a very hands on care home. The manager is always available to talk to. I believe my mother is very well cared for and could not wish for a better home for her. Would highly recommend and would be happy to discuss further.
I am extremely satisfied with the care at Sydmar Lodge, all the carers are lovely and caring. The atmosphere in the home is always welcoming to us family members, entertainment is always excellent, home is clean odour free. My mother is very happy here.

The staff are really personable and do a very difficult job with a smile on their faces. My mother is well cared for and the manager and activity staff deserve a special recommendation.

Sydmar Lodge is well run by the management team all of whom are approachable and good listeners. The property is bright and airy, always smells fresh and there are many activities in which the residents can optionally participate.
Overall Sydmar Lodge has a lovely family feel to it and is always full of visitors who are encouraged to come along any time that suits them.
In recent months there has been a lot of redecorating and new flooring put down in the common areas and it is evident that the owners are investing in the property for the longer term which is a very positive indicator indeed

A wonderful residential Care Home in Edgware. Management staff, carers and every person here treats the residents with the respect, love and care that they need at this stage of their lives. The staff are friendly, professional, approachable and always on hand and willing to help.
Our Mum was here for over four years and there was never an occasion to complain about her care.
Sadly she passed away at the end of last year but I will be forever grateful to Sydmar Lodge for providing her with a wonderful quality of life. Thank you.

My Father-in-law sadly passed away and was in Sydmar Lodge for a very short time, but I felt the need to leave a review because, to be honest, it is really hard to put into words how caring this home is. They were absolutely amazing with him and sympathetic to his needs from the minute he arrived. He was treated with respect and with compassion and I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.
My mother was resident June 2012 and December 2015. Subsequently, my father was a resident from November 2014 and continues to be a resident. I am impressed by the current management team, the food and the entertainment.

My mother has been here nearly five years and has received excellent care and nursing. The staff are very helpful and informative and any medical issues have been dealt with very professionally. The entertainment and activities are very impressive and my mother always seems happy. I always recommend the home.
My mother has been resident here for almost 6 1/2 years. Her dementia has progressed but she is loved and cared for by the staff with tenderness and dignity.
We could not have hoped for, nor find, better care. The care is beyond measure. Sydmar Lodge truly is a 'care home'.

Julia has worked in the care sector for over 30 years, and at Sydmar Lodge since 2016. Before this, she worked as a Regional Manager for a large corporate care organisation, covering 9 care homes and 13 day centres. She is passionate about resident care, and missed the direct contact with people and their families, which is why she returned to Home Management, and chose Sydmar Lodge as it has always been known for it's family oriented atmosphere.
On Wednesday, 7 January 2026, Julia was presented with a Gold Award by Deborah Sturdy, Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care at the Department of Health and Social Care. The award recognises individuals and teams for outstanding contribution, leadership, and innovation within social care.
