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.

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 Lodge

Thank 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.

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.

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.

Even 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.

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.

We 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.

My mother stayed at Aran Lodge for her end-of-life care. I can't speak highly enough of the care and compassion she received. She was only there a short time, but the way she was treated as a person rather than a patient moved me. My mum was a private and proud lady and at all times she was treated
with respect and the dignity she deserved. The home was calm and the staff attentive, it was homely and warm. I was touched to see carers just go in and stroke my mum's head, to reassure her. We had dreaded that final moment but she passed in peace and comfort, all of which was given by Aran Lodge and its angels. Everyone took time with us too. Making sure our feelings were included, we were always made to feel welcome. It's fair to say they made a very difficult time much easier. I will be forever grateful. The residents seemed happy and content and each individual's needs were clearly met. If your loved one is lucky to be placed here I want you to know they are in careful and caring hands.

Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran Lodge

Thank you so much for one of the kindest and most moving reviews we've had. I have shared this on our work group chat as I know this will mean the world for them to see. We are very lucky that our staff are extremely caring, thoughtful and empathic to our residents and their loved ones. While your mother was only with us for a short while, knowing we made this time of your life less difficult and easier for you, means everything.

I was so very impressed by Aran Lodge. They provide the best care for their residents that I have ever seen, I know because my mother was in care homes for 8 years. The level of dedication and kindness shown by the staff is remarkable. They engaged with my partner throughout the day, making sure she
had everything she needed. A most extraordinary place, with the best staff ever. A big shout out to the manager - who runs the facility with attention and compassion.

I cannot thank all staff at Aran Lodge enough for their professional palliative nursing and care given to my mum over her last four weeks. All staff managed to reach my mum and give her their utmost comfort and care which she needed so much at this time, out of a hospital environment. I will be eternally
grateful for your support and kindness to my mum and myself. The staff understood my mum so well and were able to meet all her nursing and caring needs. Even with such health needs, Mum had some really happy and enjoyable days with you, eating and drinking well when she could and interacting with the activities with other residents which gives me enormous peace. Mum’s needs were totally met and I could not ask for more. The home-from-home environment was so peaceful for Mum and myself.

Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran Lodge

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Aran Lodge. It's deeply touching to hear how our team's care made a difference for your mum during her time with us.

My mum was given a palliative diagnosis recently and could not be cared for within the home environment, she was offered a place at Aran Lodge which has been amazing from the first day.
All the staff are very attentive and supportive with all of my mum's daily needs, she is still able to walk from
her room into the lounge which they assist with as she walks using a frame.
We are very happy with her room and the care and attention she gets from all the staff they are all so kind, and have the time to spend with her during the day when we are not visiting.
Mum has the ability to participate in activities which are reading, board games, television, listening to music, and talking to all the staff which she loves
We are able to come and go at any time which is really important as we all work different times during the week, and we are able to take Mum out for visits with the support of the staff.
It's made a really sad situation much more bearable.
Thank you to all.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.966)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Aran Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.966 for Aran Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.966

  • b) 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 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
