I am delighted at the care my mother (who is very elderly and has dementia) is receiving. The staff are well supported/managed and are very sensitive and patient. The building is well designed so my mother can always have company when she needs it. Her room is very comfortable and the range of food is excellent, with choices on the daily menu.

My aunt arrived at Vesta Lodge confused, angry and suffering from some dementia. Within six weeks the staff had managed to not only get through the confusion and anger but to restore her true character. Easy going, full of smiles and content. There is a lot of love at Vesta Lodge. Birthdays are very special and my aunt celebrated hers in style - just a week before she died at 97. Thank you all.

Thank you for this lovely feedback. It’s always a pleasure to hear good things said about our staff, the home and the services we provide. We hope you will enjoy many more years at Vesta Lodge and that you are looking forward to the festive Christmas season.
On the whole, my experience has been good. The shortage of staff makes things difficult at times, especially as I need hoisting. On the occasions, if our four carers is on their break, someone has to be found from another unit to assist and this can take some time.

Thank you for taking time to provide us with feedback on your experience at our home, which we very much appreciate. With regard to comments on shortage of staff, to the best of my knowledge, the levels of staffing on each unit are in accordance with best practice for a home of this size and any staff breaks are staggered to ensure continuity of support. On occasion, it may be that staff are assisting other residents who have very complex needs elsewhere, so may not always be available to assist immediately.
We always encourage residents, families and friends who have any concerns to speak to the Home Manager, so they can investigate and resolve issues quickly.
Very caring staff. Very homely. This is the best home my brother has been in over recent years.

However, with high levels of agency staff, there is no consistency - ie washing isn't collected frequently enough and requested daily tasks aren't undertaken.

The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Managers will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to provide the best of everything for their residents.
