My mum came into the home in October 24. At first it was very good, but went very down hill when the then manageress left. I, and my family were concerned, but under the present manageress the improvements have been really good. She is very approachable and hands-on, and the staff are caring and friendly. We have all noticed the improvement in the atmosphere in the home. It now feels welcoming again, and I am always updated on any change in my mum's health. I am very pleased with Mum's case

All staff are kind, caring, thoughtful - no problems at all. Cannot praise them enough. Food is good quality. Mum is very happy - although sometimes have to wait for toilet needs (short staffed?) Emails to management not always answered promptly.

My visits to Pine Lodge have been pretty good, if I've had any issues I've gone to staff and its been dealt with. Staff have always been polite and all like being in mums company, she makes them laugh. Mum has settled into her new room which I asked for and she been happy.

It's lovely to hear how well your visits have gone and that any concerns have been handled quickly. It really does makes a difference. Your mum brings a real spark to the place, and it's heartwarming to know the staff enjoy being around her. So glad she's settled into her new room and is feeling happy.

In general I am very pleased with the care my husband is receiving; all staff seem extremely caring and considerate of his needs. However, my husband had a cancerous skin legion removed and was due to have the dressing removed and cleaned by the Thursday, but on Friday afternoon it still had not been done until I mentioned it. There doesn't appear to be enough staff on hand to ensure appropriate care and safeguarding at all times. I also took 15 pairs of socks in which have all gone missing, although I have asked about them on several occasions, he is still without any socks weeks later.

Having chosen Pine Lodge for my parents I have been extremely happy with the care given so far. The home is always very clean and the staff are excellent. The care given is first class in often trying circumstances. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to others.
