The care team at The Lodge Care Home organised a party on the birthday of my mother helping all her guests to have a great time. This demonstrates the care for the residents and nothing was too much trouble. Great time had by all.

After my terrible experience at another care home, it was so lovely to arrive here to a friendly welcome from the staff and seeing the rooms. Nothing is too much trouble, one night one of the girls sat and talked for fifteen minutes. I think she saw I was down. Above and beyond I would call it.

I am completing this review as I have power of attorney for my brother. I am completely satisfied with the care given to him. The staff are always friendly and caring when I visit and always telephone me, should the need arise, about his health. I also see a lot of the activities and what is going on on Facebook which I like as I live away from Hemel. Also, they help him video call me frequently.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, I will pass on your kind words to the care team.

My experience of The Lodge Care Home, following Mum's 10-week stay in the hospital and her subsequent discharge in the first week of December 2022, has been both professional and caring throughout. Right from the initial phone contact and tour of the lodge and its facilities, through to choosing a room ready for Mum on discharge has been positively supported by the team at The Lodge with good communication. My mum settled in very quickly and has now been a resident for three weeks. The support she receives from the staff is first-rate, while she is enjoying her food and is proud of her nice new room. During her stay, there has been no deprivation of service or standards over weekends or during the busy Christmas period.

My career within care started in 1989 when I have appointed the role of Care Assistant in a care home setting close to Potters Bar, Hertfordshire – an opportunity that led to my promotion to Assistant Manager in 1993. 1999 was a landmark in my category, one that saw my progress on to become Acting Home Manager, before being appointed a registered Home Manager in 2004. With a great number of years of experience, I felt confident enough to apply for the same role at The Lodge in 2014 – one that to date inspired me with a continual learning curve, and better fulfilled my passion for delivering person-specific residential and specialist dementia care.
