From the moment I contacted Abbey Lodge, it felt right. Their response was as if it was a member of their own family. They visited my neighbour the very next day in extreme, adverse weather. My neighbour who is a gentleman of 97 and very independent, had a rapport with the home representative immediately. He had a choice of his care and it was designed around his needs and wishes. The home is top for cleanliness, staff are friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to please residents and visitors. It really is home from home!

My father in law has been in Abbey Lodge since March of this year after realising he could not cope, at the age of 99 years, at home alone.
The staff at Abbey Lodge have been very professional and attentive and caring to his needs.

Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.

I am proud to be the Manager of Abbey Lodge, a role I have held since 2021. I have worked in the Health & Social Care Sector since 1999, giving me over 25 years of experience supporting older people with a wide range of complex care needs, starting as a carer, working my way through leadership of teams to becoming a Manager.
Throughout my career, I have gained qualifications & extensive experience to enable me to support residents living with Dementia, Mental Health, Parkinson's Disease, Frailty & other complex conditions.
For me, great care is about seeing the person, not just the condition. I believe in treating every resident with kindness, dignity & respect while supporting their independence & helping them to live happy, meaningful lives.
As a team, we are about creating a warm, welcoming home where residents feel safe, valued & listened to. We want families to feel confident that their loved ones are receiving the very best care.
I am incredibly proud of our dedicated Team at Abbey Lodge & feel privileged to work alongside them every day to make a positive difference to the lives of our residents.
