Thank you for looking after my relative, I could not have chosen a better place to stay for her final move. Thank you for all the tea, I will miss it.
My wife came into the home for end of life care. She could not have received better care or more love during this difficult time. The managers, carers and nurses are clearly very skilled and have a wonderful positivity and caring nature to both residents and visitors. The lodge has everything a resident would want, lovely carers and the feel of your own home.
Please feel free to visit us for a cup of coffee anytime
Unfortunately, ill health did strike quite suddenly and the staff supported her and the whole family . Thank you Wisteria lodge.
Thank you for your positive comments. You are all a part of Wisteria family and very welcome to visit us anytime.
I think Wisteria Lodge is absolutely marvellous. It feels like one big family, all the staff are so kind and caring, and make me and my sister so welcome when we visit. Mum has Alzheimer's and can become quite agitated, but they are so calm and good with her, and I am so relieved that I can rely on them and trust them to look after her. The events ladies are tireless in finding activities to keep the residents happy and busy. The food is as good as you would make yourself at home, and we enjoy eating there with Mum on occasion. The rooms are all spotlessly clean, and the whole building smells clean and fresh. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
My auntie was a resident at Wisteria Lodge for almost five years. It's painful to see someone you love go into a home but she was always treated with love and respect. I felt it made a big difference having registered mental nurses employed at the home as they have a greater understanding of people with dementia. My aunty sadly passed away last month but she was looked after well, it eased the pain of losing her. The night nurses took care of my mum and myself.
Wisteria is very 'home from home' and has a calm, peaceful aura about it. As a family we are so pleased that our Mum spent her last few months with those guys looking after her and they did a fantastic job. They are truly caring and know what they are doing. We thank them so much for everything they did. If you are looking for a nursing home I can't recommend this one enough.
To all at Wisteria Lodge, thank you so much for all you have done in caring for my mother over the past two years. I have always been made very welcome on my visits and it has been such a comfort and re-assurance to know that she is receiving the best care possible.
Wisteria Lodge, it's directors, managers and carers have provided a first class service in looking after my mother throughout the last 2 year stay. She suffered from dementia but was always treated with care and compassion. She was made to feel that Wisteria was her home and we, her family, have nothing but praise and admiration for all that was done for her and us. If asked to score Wisteria Lodge and the care it provides out of a maximum of 10, then it is an 11! We all feel very fortunate in mum living out her final days in such a magnificent home. Thoroughly recommended.
Thank you for your very kind words, I have passed your feedback to our staff. We will miss all of you very much, you are all very welcome to visit anytime.
My brother has been a resident since July 2014. He is very comfortable there and being very well looked after. He finds that the nursing and other staff are very friendly and caring. In addition the food is good.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, we really appreciate the time you have taken to help us monitor our service. Kind regards Martina
