On her first day everyone made her feel so welcome & all came to say hello. Her room had been newly decorated & is absolutely beautiful. All the staff are so kind & friendly. There are activities going on each day, & many of the staff all rushed to tell me how mum was star of the show when they had an ABBA Tribute Act there one afternoon, and mum was up singing and dancing and clapping the entire time! Needless to say, I highly recommend this care home!
It is wonderful to hear how much your mum is enjoying life at the home - and it certainly...

It means a lot to us and we look forward to sharing many more happy times with your mum and your family.
My Aunt came to Sony Lodge May 2025, and I can say she has been cared for with great kindness and respect, whenever I come to visit my Aunt the staff are always welcoming and friendly, they have daily activities which are fun and engaging. It is a lovely home

The home is welcoming. I can see my relative is benefitting from consistent day to day care. She says she is happy there & does not want to move. The room, although a little tired has everything she needs. She is allowed to bring her own small items of furniture & other possessions which has made a big difference for her. The staff are very patient with her. She likes the food & she participates in the activities. All in all the home has been very good for her, especially in combatting lonliness
Thank you for taking time to leave this review and we are delighted to read of the benefits for your relative of residing in our home. We do use feedback to plan improvements and changes in the home and the home currently has some bedroom improvement works in progress with more scheduled. We do appreciate these take time and I hope you will see improvements for your relative soon.

Sonya Lodge as become a home for my dad who arrived there last May. The atmosphere within is genuine home from home feeling full of compassion dedication. The approach from all staff members show a dignified care in some very difficult situations. They support the needs of the residents and their families. They encourage a drop by and see love ones any time approach and they are genuinely happy to welcome you with warm smile and great politeness. The kindness and dedication the staff have is shown with their approach towards the residents when helping them with daily tasks. They help to maintain their dignity and independence with reassurance to make the residents feel special and safe. The care home provides a variety of activities to help stimulate and entertain the residents from singers to 1940 celebration. Regular pet therapy with ponies and dogs. The facilities are clean and well maintain. They have a lovely garden to sit relax in and a forget me not tea room for residents and families to use.

Dad was treated with complete dignity and respect. They were compassionate towards my mum and family when we visited and handled every situation with kindness with the utmost kindness. My family and I cannot thank the staff enough and are grateful for all they did.

Our dad moved into Sonya Lodge a few months ago and the staff at the care home have been fantastic, including the manager and everyone working there. They clearly work hard at knowing all their residents and go out of their way to accommodate any suggestions from us, his family. The atmosphere is positive and constructive and residents are treated with dignity. All of the staff are happy to talk to us and answer questions, letting us know how Dad is. We were really worried about putting Dad in a care home but he has settled as well as we ever thought possible.
Thank you for your review of Sonya Lodge and the care your Dad is receiving. It is always good to hear that people are comfortable in their surroundings and I am glad you feel able to talk to the team about his health and well-being. Again, thank you for your positive review.

Had a lovely afternoon at Sonya Lodge Residential Care Centre on 14th December at their Christmas Party for the residents and their families. Great entertainment was put on with a wonderful singer that everyone enjoyed. Lovely food was provided for the residents and their guests and everyone enjoyed the afternoon. There was lots of dancing with the residents being helped by all the lovely staff and there were lots of smiles and laughter. A fab afternoon had by all. Thank you Sonya Lodge.
We are so glad you had such a good time. It is so important that families and friends join us for celebrations with their loved ones, it is a great way to spend time together and I am really pleased that you were able to join in. The home team do like a party and work hard to ensure we cater for everyone. I hope the New Year is treating you well and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

2 years ago we unfortunately had to put our dear dad into care, after a lot of research we were lucky to find Sonya Lodge. It was a tough start for my dad but the staff never gave up on him, they treated him so kindly and got to know his triggers to disruptive behaviour. Sadly he had skin cancer which they dealt with brilliantly and always got him to hospital appointments on time, they supported us as a family with the difficult decisions and outcomes, sadly Dad passed away in March but the love and care shown to our dad and to us was so special at that time especially, it's a huge comfort that he was able to die in his home surrounded by the absolutely wonderful staff, whether it's senior staff, housekeeping or dining room staff they're the kindest most caring people. Their love helped us through such a sad time, I so miss seeing the online photos of what my dad had been up to with the many activities. I send everyone there my hugest love and best wishes, I miss you all. Thank you.

Our mum experienced the most amazing level of love and care whilst being part of the Sonya Lodge Family, in a cosy and clean "home from home" environment. Sadly our mum passed away at the end of March but we will always be so grateful that she had the most caring, kind and dedicated team looking after her with compassion, patience and understanding. My sister and I have always felt welcomed by all the staff at Sonya Lodge and have always been kept informed of any issues regarding our mum. Every time we visited, we saw first-hand how she was treated with dignity and respect. A huge thank you from all our family, to all the Sonya Lodge team she could not have been in a better place.

Thank you. It is touching, and we are grateful, that you have taken the time to write this lovely review having just recently lost your dear Mum. We are so happy that you were able to leave your Mum in our care and be confident in the knowledge that she was well cared for. The team at the home treat residents with the same love and care they would as members of their own families, and I feel that your kind words confirm that this was the case for your Mum. We are sorry she had to leave us and she will be deeply missed in the home. We send very best wishes to you from our home to yours, and we will pass on your lovely comments to the team. With kindest regards.

Very pleased with the care and attention given to my mum by all the wonderful staff at Sonya Lodge. Mum settled into the home very quickly. She was given a lovely room overlooking the garden and is very happy there. They organise lots of brilliant activities for the residents which I’ve also enjoyed taking part in. As a relative of a resident, I’ve always been made to feel very welcome and am kept up-to-date with my mum’s care. They provide excellent food which Mum enjoys and I am always asked if I want to stay and eat with her. All the staff treat my soon-to-be 97-year-old mum with the utmost care and respect and my family is so happy that she is spending her final years in a happy, caring environment. Thank you to everyone who works at Sonya Lodge.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to write this wonderfully positive review regarding your experience of having your dear Mum living at Sonya Lodge. It is lovely to hear that you are able to take such an active part in the activities and events that the team at the home arrange while spending quality time with your Mum. The team here take great pride in offering a family-orientated environment and including relatives and visitors in the life of the home, including the opportunity to stay and eat with relatives and we are thrilled that you have been able to take us up on this offer, as I'm sure your Mum benefits greatly from her time with you. We look forward to welcoming you for a long time to come. With kind regards.

I know they will be thrilled to know you feel this way about the care they offer your dear father.

The Care Home is excellent in meeting the needs of my parents. Facilities, rooms, and activities are all clean and gauged toward the individual needs of my parents. The management and staff are knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. The positive atmosphere is excellent and Mum and Dad are able to enjoy their final years as it is their own home.

Mum moved to Sonya Lodge just before Christmas 2022 following the home she was in closing down. When we were looking for a good care home we were very lucky to find Sonya Lodge. All of the staff are very kind to our whole family and they understand how hard it is to leave a loved one with strangers. Mum is now part of the Sonya Lodge family. Mum gets lots of attention from the staff who are always ready to chat and spend time with her. The food I am told is very good. When it was Mum's birthday we celebrated in the 'Forget Me Not' room in the garden at the care home where tea, coffee making and biscuits were provided. Recently, Mum had a spell in hospital and she was very down, however, as soon as she returned to Sonya Lodge she immediately started to perk up and soon returned to her old self. Overall, we have had a very positive experience with Sonya Lodge.

Thank you so very much for this lovely and positive review for our home Sonya Lodge. The team here aim to ensure relatives know they understand the difficulties faced when making the decision to place their most precious person in the hands of not just one, but in Mum's case, a second care environment, and also how hard it would have been for Mum to leave a home she was comfortable and safe in to join a new care home family. Our team do their very best to ensure that each of our residents get as much love and attention from them as possible and birthdays and special occasions are always an opportunity to include families and I am so pleased you were able to enjoy this time with your dear mum. Our catering team also strive to provide favourite meals, which I am so glad you feel are good. I am also pleased that Mum has settled so well and recognises Sonya Lodge to be her home and that your experience with us, and that of Mum, has been such a positive one. With kind regards.
The decision to leave my mum, who has Lewy Body dementia, in a care home was one of the hardest things I have ever done. On the day that I took her to Sonya Lodge, I sat in the office and just kept on talking, spilling out everything that was and had been whirling in my mind. The manager just let...
I wanted kindness, patience, caring, respect and fun for my mum and it's there in bucketloads at Sonya Lodge. All the staff are friendly, cheerful and welcoming. The garden is beautifully kept, full of colour and places to sit. The Forget-me-Not Tea Room is perfect for some quiet private time and a cup of tea and biscuits. There's always something going on and I like the monthly timetable explaining the activities of each day - it's a good prompt for conversation when Mum forgets.

We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision to entrust the care of your much-loved Mum to a group of strangers and who you know little about.

Thank you for submitting this positive and heartwarming review. We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision to entrust the care of your much-loved Mum to a group of strangers and who you know little about. It is one of the hardest decisions anybody will ever have to make, and feeling that it is the right thing to do is so difficult for family members. I am just so pleased that we have been able to repay the trust you had in our team and management at Sonya Lodge by making you happy you made the right choice. I am thrilled that your dear Mum has settled and that she has all the things she needs to be happy. The team pride themselves on offering fun and meaningful things for our residents to enjoy each day, and any reason to throw a party or celebrate is taken. I will pass your lovely comments on to the team at the home, and they will be so happy that you feel this way about the care they give to your Mum. With kind regards.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of the service you and your mum receive at Sonya Lodge. The team at the home are committed to providing the very best service they can to ensure that relatives do not have to worry about their loved ones when they are away from them. They do genuinely feel and show the kind of affection they would have for their own loved ones, which is what makes Sonya Lodge such a special environment for our residents. It is so good to hear you trust our team to care effectively and kindly for your mum after worrying about whether this would be right for her. We know how difficult it is to entrust the care of a loved one into the hands of strangers and the worry this causes. I will pass your kind comments on to the team who will be happy that they have been able to give you this confidence in their ability to care for your mum well. With kindest regards.

My mother has been a resident at Sonya Lodge Care Home for almost a year. In all that time, I have found the home to be excellent. The staff are attentive, engaged and caring towards residents and their families. Communication with staff is always outstanding, queries or questions answered quickly and sensitively. I am always kept fully up to date with Mum's well being, medications and behaviours. Activities at the home are fun, engaging, and plentiful. My mother is always encouraged to participate, but never forced. When visiting my mother, she is always clean, warm and well dressed. All the staff know her personally and I feel I can talk to any of them about Mum and they all have a personal connection with her. Her room is bright, always clean and tidy. I live 100 miles away so only visit once a fortnight, but I feel confident that Mum is receiving the best care and I have no worries about her at all. Sonya Lodge was a great decision for me and most of all for my mum.

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit this wonderful review regarding the care your dear Mum receives at Sonya Lodge. I am so pleased that, although you live far away from the home and Mum, you can feel confident in the care she receives when you are away. I know the team give 100% to ensure the residents in the home enjoy their time with us, and this includes the activity provision that you mentioned. They also truly 'care' for the residents in the home as they would their own families, and this is what gives the home its 'warm' and friendly vibe. I will pass your comments on to the team at the home and I know they will be thrilled to hear you have such confidence in them. With kindest regards.
My experience of Sonya Lodge and the staff members I have encountered has been a very good one. My sister entered Sonya Lodge just over a year ago now. It has been a good choice for her and also for me as I am able to see her about twice a week as it is fairly close to where I live. I am always...
The staff are very good and kind to all residents. Time is given to the residents to enrich their lives as much as possible. Activities happen often and are enjoyed by those who are able and wish to take part. Parties are fun and can be a bit noisy, there is always time for dancing if a resident wishes to. Respect is shown. Management of the home goes on quietly and efficiently from what I have seen.
Thank you so much for writing this positive review for the home and the team working within it.

Thank you so much for writing this positive review for the home and the team working within it. I am thrilled to hear that the experience of having your dear sister come to live at the home has been such a positive one. Sonya Lodge is renowned for its party atmosphere all year round - any excuse to celebrate and enjoy music and dancing is usually jumped at. The team take great pride in maintaining a 'home from home' family atmosphere and in encouraging the residents to live their lives to the full, and I am glad to hear you and your sister are both able to join in and spend quality time together. I will pass your comments on to the team and I am sure they will be happy to know you feel this way. Kind regards.
Very kind, caring staff. Supportive, using lunchboxes to help her eat. Able to visit or phone any time. Good food and plenty if needed. Activities each day - shown on the board.

2 and a half years after joining as a 19-year-old on my gap year, the job satisfaction in being able to serve my local community is still very much the same (if not more). I’m also looking forward to completing my Level 2 Diploma in Adult Care, thus formally becoming a Senior alongside my other professional, volunteering and academic commitments.
I'm Kevin. I'm a father of one and Grandfather of 2. I have worked at Sonya Lodge as a Housekeeping Assistant for almost 8 years.
