We were lucky at short notice to have a lovely room available. Mum has settled quickly and is enjoying the company. The staff are attentive and caring. What more could we ask at this difficult and emotional time?

Our mum only arrived two days ago after a week's stint in hospital. Despite our concerns about Mum going into a residential care home after years of independent living, she seems to have settled in very well. The staff at Dale Lodge have been professional, caring and very kind - showing Mum respect and giving her dignity. Thank you so much for looking after her, it is a huge relief for all our family to see Mum looking happy and relaxed.
A big thank you to the manager and team for doing an amazing job taking care of our mum's needs. It's lovely the way they all have great banter with Mum and seeing how caring everyone is means a lot. The kindness shown makes me feel very happy and I can see that our mum is happy too. When visiting...
Thank you to everyone.
My step-father is well looked after and treated with respect at a high level of professionalism. The perfect place for everybody who needs care. The staff work so hard to keep the standard of care at 100% at all times.

The Home was selected because of its home from home feel. The management and staff put the needs of residents first in an environment that is controlled and clean. I have complete confidence that my Mum is in the best possible hands at all times, which I am truly grateful for.

The care my mum gets couldn't be better. All the staff are kind, caring and friendly and are always ready to do anything she needs. The food is lovely and if my mum doesn't want what is on the menu they will do her something she wants. She is always kept clean and tidy.

Dale Lodge is staffed by wonderful people whose care of my Dad is second to none.
I love that they engage in normal conversation with all the residents and have an in-depth knowledge of what interests them - even The World Cup!
(Doesn't go down too well with the lady residents, but then again the men had to put up with The Royal Wedding!)
My Dad is always clean and well fed.
He has issues around food, but a member of staff sits with him and encourages him.
It is a big thing to feel relaxed about his care.
Helpful happy staff make your visit as nice as can be. My mother in law seems very happy here and that's all we can ask for. Keep up the good work!

I joined Nicholas James Care Home in June 2000 as a part-time care assistant. The company was supportive, and I enjoyed working in such a friendly environment. In 2007, my career progressed to deputy manager. This supporting role gave me everything I needed to further my career, and in 2014, I became the registered manager for Dale Lodge & Dale Mount! I am a very dedicated and loyal person when it comes to both family and work. I always look for team members who are honest, accountable, have integrity and good principles.
Together, we enable residents to be who they are as individuals and provide peace of mind to families by ensuring everyone is treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I am extremely honoured and privileged to be a part of this established company.
