Hello,Thank you for your kind feedback, we appreciate your views on Devon Lodge.
Overall very satisfied but there is just one area that requires attention which has been raised and discussed. In the main, the staff are very good at keeping my mother safe and happy. The grounds are very well cared for. The increases in the fees is also always a concern.

Hello,Thank you for your response. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and understand that managing finances during these challenging times can be stressful, especially with the rising costs of care across the sector. Please know that we are committed to supporting you by connecting you with resources that may assist you further.We recently welcomed new staff members, and we acknowledge that they may face some initial challenges as they transition into their roles. However, we prioritise keeping all residents informed about changes and ensure that all new team members receive comprehensive training that aligns with our established standards.We are also pleased to report that our staff turnover rate is low, which helps maintain continuity of care for our residents. Your kind words about the safety of your mother and the environment at Devon Lodge mean a lot to us. We are dedicated to upholding those standards.Thank you once again for your feedback and support.
My Mum has been at Devon Lodge for five and a half years now and we have always had a good relationship with the management and staff. Whilst it is regrettable that Mum's overall state-of-play has deteriorated considerably in the last 18 months or so (not due to Devon Lodge I hasten to add), it is...
Communication with Devon Lodge has always been good, and they are good at making visiting family feel welcomed and looked after too. I have never had any regrets about making the choice on Mum's behalf of Devon Lodge, and they have never let us down.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words and support as a family member.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words and support as a family member. I understand your view regarding the larger group activities that Mum previously participated in, but which she no longer feels able to join due to her changing circumstances. It's wonderful to hear that she continues to enjoy her one-on-one sessions, especially her pamper sessions and the animal visits. These experiences are important for her well-being. I will make sure to share your positive feedback with the team at Devon Lodge. Thank you once again for your support.

So pleased how well my father-in-law has settled in at Devon Lodge after spending nearly 6 weeks in hospital. The staff have played a huge part in my father-in-law's recovery. When I visit, my father-in-law often comments how pleased he is with his new home. My wife and I attended the Christmas party at Devon Lodge on Sunday 22 December. The entertainment, food and staff were all excellent. Heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Devon Lodge.

My sister is very well cared for. The kindness of the staff is exceptional. She is treated like a favourite aunt. My biggest concern is the increase in fees.

Hello, thank you for your positive feedback. Your mum said she really enjoyed the Disco Bingo the other day with myself and the staff on duty. Thank you for your support, we really appreciate it, take care.

Thank you for your review. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your family for being so supportive throughout the toughest time Devon Lodge has ever faced, Covid-19. Your mother is a delight to care for, we appreciate your comments, thank you.
The overall experience in Devon Lodge Retirement Home is very good and has a family feel about it. The adaptation of the old building works well and makes it feel less like an institution!

My mother has been a resident at Devon Lodge for eleven years. I was so fortunate to find this home which has become Mother's home. She is treated with care, dignity and very much love. As her daughter, I am very grateful for everything that is done for her.

My stepmother has lived at Devon Lodge quite contently for several years now. She is quite a private person and preferred to spend time in her room, rather than mix with the other residents, but happily chatted with the carers, who are very fond of her. She is now 102 and very frail and has to have a lot of personal care and attention. I visited her recently in her room with the necessary PPE, and she looked so cared for, and her room was fresh and clean, it was very reassuring. I have never had any doubts about Devon Lodge.

Thank you for your positive feedback. We believe that your (Step) mother really enjoyed the ten years she lived at Devon Lodge. Thank you for being such great support to your family member and the staff. You always made sure we had everything needed, from her background/history to toiletries and correct footwear. This helped us to give the best possible person-centred care. You and your family will always have a place in our hearts. Thank you for the 10 years of memories!
