Great feedback! We are grateful for your kind review, thank you.
When I go to see my grandpa he is always well looked after and all carers are looking after him and getting him food and drink. They are always making him look presentable. Staff are very friendly and I think they do a tremendous job.

Fantastic review! We love hearing back from you, your opinions and suggestions. Thank you for rating us as excellent, all staff and management will be very happy to know they are doing a superb job looking after your relative. - Kind regards.
From the first visit not only was my grandmother made to feel welcome and at home but the family was as well. The way the staff have looked after her through this emotional time has been faultless. I cannot thank them enough.

I would highly recommend Heath Lodge and would like to reiterate the staff are fantastic, it really is like one big family.
Dear Wendy,
Thank you for your kind words. Your father is a pleasure to look after.

The general turn over of staff is a worry but have never found cause to be concerned with the care given to residents. Home is very much cleaner than it has been in the past and smells a lot fresher. Would like to see key workers assigned to residents so you have a direct contact when calling for updates. Rooms need to be re-decorated and made more personalised. Tighter control of residents laundry needs to be addressed. Overall never had any concerns about the care given to my mother-in-law.
Hi Dawn,
Thank you for your review. Even though great effort has gone into improving Health Lodge, there are still areas we feel that require improvement. Your comments have been passed to senior management to discuss further.

Whenever I visit the home I am impressed by the care and genuine affection given by the staff to my mother. She also appears to receive excellent medical care when needed. I have the impression my mother is happy here.

My father-in-law was dying, and we needed to move him into a local care home. During our visit to look at Heath Lodge, we specifically asked how much we would be charged in the event of death within a week of admission. We were verbally told by a manager that the total charge would be 7 days’ fees....
We assumed Gold Care Homes would charge us 7 days’ fees - however, they actually charged us for 18 days (4 days residents’ fees PLUS a 14-day charge in the event of death).
Our mistake: signing their contract upon admission whilst assuming that head office would honour the verbal contract of 7 days’ fees agreed by their company representatives at the ‘sales’ end of their process.
Heath Lodge staff were caring and professional, but I cannot give Gold Care Homes a good review because their head office overrode their manager's promise to us.
I visited my aunt on April 15th. In all the years she has been a resident I have never seen her so happy and she communicated with me. It was an absolute delight. The team who look after her were amazing - so polite and understanding. I cannot praise you all enough. Thank you. Heath Lodge, I...
