Review from T G (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mum felt very well looked after, spending almost two weeks at Acacia Lodge for respite care, following hospital treatment. The staff were very helpful, she enjoyed the meals there and overall her stay was very comfortable.

Review from John M (Son of Resident) published on 15 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My father has been a full time resident at Acacia Lodge for the past five years, he suffers from vascular dementia and Alzheimers. Throughout his stay I have had tremendous support from all the staff. They are competent, engaging and professional. There have been some managerial changes throughout this period which have now been resolved. The standard of care is excellent, the food is both nutritional, varied and well presented. The hygiene in the home is excellent. I have no cause for complaint, only praise.

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
