Our experience during a very difficult time was of joining with an extended family who really cared. They had the knowledge and experience to care for Dad's needs, in a caring and efficient environment. Every member of staff was 'over and above' with making sure Dad's needs were met, not only needs,
but preferences and interests too. We were always warmly welcomed and would highly recommend Aran Lodge for their warmth, professionalism and efficiency.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeThank you so much for sharing this. It means a great deal to know your dad was cared for as an individual, not just for his needs but for who he was. Our team will be truly touched by your words and the trust you placed in us. They loved the christmas drinks you genreously donated for too. We are very grateful for your recommendation.

We were very happy with the level of care my mum received. Mum was safe, warm and well looked after. The staff were exceptional in all their caring roles for my mum. Her room was clean and tidy, Mum's bed was changed every day and not once were there any bad smells. My mum had dementia and did not eat
she had enough of life and sadly passed to soon.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeThank you for sharing this and for trusting us with your mum's care. Caring for someone at the end of life is a privilege we never take lightly.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.

We would like to thank Aran Lodge in Westcliffe for taking care of our dad for the short time he was with you. You took care of him with dignity. Even though he wasn't eating, you always offered him food and drink. It's nice that you have tea and coffee facilities in a lounge where we often went whilst
you were taking care of my father's private needs. It really is a shame he didn't get to appreciate everything you had to offer. We can't thank you enough for your help in making our father's last days comfortable.

My husband was taken into Aran Lodge straight from hospital. He was looked after from that moment on with such caring staff/carers. The home itself was homely and welcoming. The food was excellent and well catered for. Activities were good for all and entertainment was always layed on. The garden was
superb. I cannot find fault only recommend to anyone wanting their loved ones well looked after. Thank you all in Aran Lodge.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeThank you so much for your heartfelt words. Your husband was a special part of our home, and his sudden passing was deeply felt by all of us. It's been lovely seeing you've built a connection with L too. You'll always be part of the Aran Lodge family & please come by if you're in the area.

My mother passed this week after just 12 days in Aran Lodge and I would like to thank all of the staff for such wonderful care.
She was shown such empathy and attentiveness in her last days and her dignity was restored by each and every member.
Such a clean and inviting care home for the residents
and their family with the added bonus of Luna the dog providing companionship.
I just wish Mum had become a resident a long time ago as I know she would have had a much better quality of life and enjoyed the activities provided and the delicious food ...the lasagne looked amazing.
Thank you again, I am so happy Mum spent her last days in such comfort and I had the weight lifted off me knowing she was in such good hands.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeThank you so much, for your kind and thoughtful words. It meant so much to us to care for your mum, even if only for a short time. We truly would have loved more time with her, she was a lovely lady. Luna definitely felt the bond too and adored her visits. Wishing you comfort in the days ahead, and thank you again for trusting us.

My mother in law was only in Aran Lodge for 9 days for end of life care. During that time the care she recieved was fantastic. The staff were always friendly, extremely helpful and gave answers to our questions in laymans terms. On my mother in laws last day with us, the staff were so kind, considerate
and understanding. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you for all that you did for mymother in law and for us to make her passing peaceful.

My stepmother has been in the home now for 17 months and I cannot fault the care and attention that she has received. The management put a lot of effort into providing entertainment theme days and other activities. The home is open and welcoming to visitors at any time and is always very clean and tidy.
Medical and personal care is also excellent and well managed.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeThank you so much for your review. B is such a wonderful lady to have with us. Thank you for complimenting our themed days, the residents love them and all the different foods they get to experience. We look forward to seeing you soon.

My dad was sadly only with Aran Lodge for 8 days before passing and I can honestly say they were amazing. They treated my dad with respect and dignity, all the staff were so kind and caring.
On my dad's last day with us not only were they there for my dad, but they supported us through every stage
of dad's passing and I can't tell you how much that meant to us as a family.
I truly believe that if Dad had been with us longer he would have been very happy there. So to all the staff that looked after my dad thank you for everything you did, you were all amazing and to Dad's nurse we will never forget you, we could not have got through that day without you.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeThank you Sue, I have shared your words with all of our staff so they know how much of an impact they made on you and your family during your time here. All residents are treated as family and knowing you all felt so comfortable and supported means everything to us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not have asked for more in my Grandfather's last days than the care he received at Aran Lodge. The way this business runs is so different from the industry standard, not only are residents looked after beautifully, but the families of those residents are welcomed into part of a much wider network
of help, support and love.
Many friends were made and bonds were built for my family at Aran Lodge and some lasting friendships have been made. A network like this is so rare and incredibly important when dealing with complex issues such as residential or end-of-life care.
My Grandfather's final few months were made much easier by the staff who I can't recommend highly enough. The sensitivity they showed when he reached the end of his journey was above and beyond. We are truly grateful for everything that they have done for us.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeEven the fact that she visits us on a weekly basis shows how much this place meant to you all. Anyone who comes into this home is treated as an extension of our family, and you and your family were no exception. You are all more than welcome to visit at any time. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind review.

Mum was in and out of hospital between April and August 2024 and cared for at Aran Lodge in between. It became her safe space and second home. The team there are kind, caring, and compassionate. They were never too busy to stop and talk to either Mum or any visitors and nothing was too much trouble.
Our memories of her time there are positive and we know that she will be missed by them - and us as well.
Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran LodgeWe recently received a lovely card from your family, thank you so much for your kind words both here and on the card. She was such a sweet and caring person, some staff still refer to the room as hers. We hope you and the family are all doing well.

My husband went into Aran Lodge whilst I had a respite break. I was worried about leaving him but there was no need as he was given first-class care. Nothing was too much trouble. The home was lovely and the staff were excellent and my husband himself said he felt very relaxed and welcome. He said
he would certainly go into Aran Lodge again in the future allowing me to have a carefree respite break. Thank you again Aran Lodge.

Our mother stayed at Aran Lodge for palliative and end-of-life care. The service, support and care provided by everyone at the home were excellent. The care home provided everything we could ask to give Mum all the dignity and respect we would have wished for during her last weeks. The attention given
by all at the care home exceeded our expectations, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential user.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.953)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.953) out of 10 for Aran Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.953 for Aran Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.953
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aran Lodge is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
