We are very happy with the care provided by Strathmore Lodge. It is very well managed and has a warm homely feel. The staff treat the residents with dignity, and many carers form close bonds with residents, demonstrating genuine interest in their wellbeing. Tasty "home" cooked meals are served and adapted as needed to specific resident needs, along with much-appreciated food and drink treats. A range of regular activities is run, along with occasional special events, to support physical and mental wellbeing. Strathmore Lodge has a beautiful well-kept garden with good access and furniture, so residents and visitors can enjoy this when the weather allows. Strathmore Lodge goes out of its way to ensure facilities are provided to keep residents as happy and entertained as they can be. Any requests, questions, or concerns raised by resident or relative are carefully considered and addressed. Strathmore Lodge has coped and adapted well to the extremely challenging pandemic circumstances.

After checking out several care homes for my mum, I knew the minute I walked through the door it was going to be the best place for her. The others were institution’s, whereas, Strathmore is truly a ‘home’ with its individual rooms, luxury carpet, and music playing suited to the residents to remind them of their younger years. There were lots of daily activities for my mum to join in with, and I was able to see her as much as I wanted and encouraged to take her out and about. The manager said this is now your Mums home, so please treat it like yours too, which I thought was lovely. Then there is the staff. So many of them are still the same carers as when Mum joined, which is so important for a dementia patient. They care for her with such genuine love, respect and dignity, and I know she loves them in return. The manager is always so approachable too. If you want genuine warmth and kindness for your loved one in their elder years, you honestly couldn’t find a better happier place.

It has a family atmosphere. The home smells clean, and the food smells delicious.
Definitely would recommend Strathmore Lodge.
Lisa, thank you for your kind words. We do try our best to make Strathmore Lodge different from all the others - making it a home, with a warm, friendly and family feel. This is all centred around the individual and their wishes, desires and needs. Thank you for your thoughts.

Pre-covid, they had wonderful people in from bugs and spiders to singers.The staff are kind and caring. I actually enjoy heading into the home, and I am always made to feel very comfortable and at ease.
Care homes aren't always the easiest places to be, but Strathmore is just like visiting your family member in their own home, with lots of added guests!
I can't wait for the day when I can visit 'normally' again!
Kayleigh, thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to publish this review. We do try to have a homely, friendly and warm feel to our home, and I am happy that is how you feel when visiting. We are looking forward to the days when we can get the spiders, bugs and other visiting insects and animal back as well as all the different entertainers and of course all of you. Keep well.

I cannot recommend this care home enough. My mum has been here for two and a half years and has been very happy. She says she is treated like Royalty. All the staff during her stay have been exemplary and nothing is ever too much trouble. The home is always kept clean and tidy and has been refurbished to a very high standard. The Residents always come first. The weekly activities that are laid on involve everyone that wants to be included and the old music that is piped throughout the home must help to give the residents some lovely memories of times gone by. I would not hesitate in forwarding the details of this home on to anyone. I only hope that if the time should arise when I need to go into a home that Strathmore Lodge is still up and running.
Strathmore Lodge is a beautiful home - the care my mum receives is second to none. She is so very well looked after and cared for by all of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble. My mum is so happy there, she says it is like staying at Buckingham Palace!! The home has recently been refurbished...
I am more than happy with the care that mum receives from everyone. Fantastic home. Thank you to all at Strathmore Lodge.
Thank you for your kind words. We keep striving to ensure that our residents are at the centre of everything we do and that we support and encourage our residents to live life as they wish.
