My mother was sent here for six weeks of respite, and I am hoping it will become permanent. Although the building is in need of updating, the care she receives is excellent. The carers are very attentive, and she is being very well looked after. She is happy there, and I appreciate that the owners are new and it will take a while to implement their changes. The food is lovely.
Friendly staff, my mother is well looked after, good amount of staff involvement with residents and good activities arranged. The home is always clean and tidy when I have visited. Always keep updated by manager and staff.

Good to hear you are happy with the care we provide. Thank you.
I've found everyone here from management to the cleaners very good at their jobs, they treat the residents with the respect and dignity that they deserve! The food always smells and looks nice which is a real bonus!

Thank you for your kind words. Means a lot to the team.
The staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome, nothing is ever too much trouble. It is always clean and tidy. We like that it is a small home and has a nice feel to the place and the staff have time for the residents. There is also good communication between family members and management.

Thank you B for leaving The Lodge a kind review.
I feel that the staff are always welcoming and helpful. The home always smells clean and tidy. I also feel that nothing is too much for all staff. They really go over and above. The manager runs the home very well.

I would like to thank you for the positive review you have given.
Every time I've visited my mum the staff have always been very helpful. The staff are very quick to reply to any queries I may have. Looking forward to visiting my mum again in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you, MH for your kind review for The Lodge and staff.
Have never met such a welcoming team. Carers are exceptional with a very clean environment. Well looked after with a manager who beyond doubt cares about her job and the residents and is always available.

My mom has been a resident here for over 10 years, due to her caring needs. Over this entire period she has been looked after like it is her own home. The staff go more than the extra mile to look after everyone to the highest levels of care, and find the time to see to all their personal needs as well. I always have peace of mind, the staff always keep me informed of any changes, and are always approachable. Couldn't have asked for a better care home to see my mom comfortably living out her final years, with the knowledge that she is being looked after properly. Five massive stars to all at The Lodge.
Thank you Ian for your kind words. Your mum keeps us all on our toes, a pleasure to care for.
