The Lodge Care Home

Feel safe, very homely.

My mum came to the Lodge for respite care having been in hospital, from my point of view the communication was prompt and helpful. The care and support Mum received was good, giving Mum some confidence back. The activities, run on a daily basis, were fun and a lot of effort was made to arrange, I'm sure. Would recommend it to others needing support from a home like this. Thank you.

My husband was treated with understanding and good humour. The staff treated him as an individual and became friends to him. Management were especially accommodating regarding his particular needs. The activities provided were amazing and the whole atmosphere was one of an extended family.

My mum-in-law loves it here. It's clean and friendly, and the food is just what she likes. The staff can't do enough for her.

Mum came here on discharge from hospital, initially, she had to isolate for two weeks but we could visit each day in her room. The staff have, without exception, been lovely. I have been on the phone a number of times, to Mum when staff have come in, unaware that I'm listening. They have always been kind, polite, caring and listen to her.

We moved Dad into the Lodge approximately two months ago. When he arrived, Dad was underweight, really withdrawn and immobile. His last home did not look after him well. In the two months at The Lodge, Dad has put weight back on, has been more communicative and is now walking again, albeit with assistance. We put this down to the nurturing environment the staff demonstrate and deliver on a daily basis. The nursing supervisor has played a critical role in engaging Dad on a one-to-one basis and bringing him into the wider group; this has been a great success. All of the staff are incredibly helpful and do what they say they will do, which is really refreshing. We are really happy with the level of care. Thank you.

It has been an extremely kind and well-run establishment. All help is there, when one needs it, in every way. Many, many thanks.

The staff are very kind and helpful. The management are very pleasant and helpful. My brother-in-law seems happy here.

Mum has been at the Lodge for over two years now. The staff are all amazing and work tirelessly to ensure a happy, safe and caring environment for the residents. It has a real ‘home from home’ atmosphere which I know Mum appreciates and individual needs are catered for as much as possible. The residents are treated with dignity and respect, staff are approachable and there are many activities available that encourage socialising and engagement. There is always a member of staff available if I need to discuss Mum's care, and the manager is very approachable and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend The Lodge.

Very caring staff to both residents and relatives. Unable to visit due to Covid-19 but have spoken to and seen him on Facebook. My brother is very happy and content.

All the staff are always so wonderful and always make me feel very comfortable with leaving my neighbour with them. He loves being there too and would be happy to stay forever instead of just for respite care.

Excellent in every way, food accommodation. Staff help in every way.

My husband is very happy there, it seems.

1st garden visit for myself with mum. The care that is given to mum is beyond our expectations. We can't thank you enough for everything you do for her and for the family.

Her room is comfortable and spacious.

I would highly recommend The Lodge to family and friends.

My mother has been at The Lodge for almost six years and she is very happy and content. The staff are very attentive and management are always aware of her condition and needs.

I visited today with a friend whose mother moved in about 6 weeks ago. This was my second visit and on each occasion, I've been impressed by the staff. They make such an effort to communicate well with the residents and have such patience. My mother was in a nursing home with dementia as my friend's mother has. I have to say that although the staff were good in the nursing home the staff here seem to be exceptionally good.

I am very happy with the treatment my sister receives at The Lodge. Her care there is excellent and the staff treat her with dignity and love. Whenever we visit her the staff and management make us very welcome and best of all there are no restrictions on visiting times and we can phone anytime and they are always very very polite. God bless you.

Always cheerful.
