Review from Neil C (Son of Resident) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I cannot thank the manager and his family enough for taking care of dad. I would also like to thank the wonderful staff. Navara Lodge is a very good care home. Dad was there for about 10 months and in that time was treated with respect, compassion and professionalism. I have nothing but praise for these amazing people. Would I recommend Navara Lodge? Absolutely.

Navara Lodge is the epitome of the term 'care home'. They provided excellent care to my nan for approximately 9 years.

I have no reservation in recommending Navara Lodge.

Review from Elizabeth B (Friend of Resident) published on 28 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My friend went to live in Navara Lodge in 2017, and we count ourselves very luck that she was able to stay there till her recent death. Navara Lodge is a small, family run business recently refurbished attractively but keeping its homely atmosphere. Many of the staff have been there a long time, which is reassuring and all the carers I met were very kind and extremely patient with the residents and welcoming to visitors. My friend's dementia became very advanced but she was always treated lovingly and with dignity. The owner makes himself readlity available to discuss concerns with family and friends of the residents. The food always smells appetising. I always felt that it was the well-being of the residents, and not profit, that was the owner's priority. We were very touched that both he and his son attended the funeral and the later thanks giving service for my friend - they viewed her (and the other residents) as family.

Review from J C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Navara Lodge for eight years. She was always treated with dignity and compassion. The staff were excellent and always kept me informed and welcomed me the house. The management team are professional and acted timely if any medical issues arose. I cannot recommend Navara Lodge highly enough.

Review from Philip V (Friend of Resident) published on 12 June 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I encouraged my friend to move into accommodation although like most elderly people she wanted to remain in her home. However within a week she was at home and fulfilled. The care and affection shown to her with utmost respect was heartwarming. The property was warm, clean and well-decorated. The staff all day smiling and caring. My friend passed recently having lived at Navara Lodge for nine years. I will always be grateful to the care manager and his team.

My mother-in-law is cared for by friendly, professional staff who always have time to provide help whenever needed. They genuinely care and their consideration has helped my mother-in-law to put weight on and feel happier. Navara Lodge provides a safe and clean home that supports the day-to-day needs of my mother-in-law so that she can continue to enjoy her final years.

Review from Keith I (Son of Resident) published on 10 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been very well cared for by kind and considerate staff since she arrived 18 months ago. Mum now gets the help she needs, more help with day-to-day living and this is provided with patience and compassion. Navara Lodge is therefore more than a 'home from home' because they now provide the care that makes my mum's life a little easier for her.
