I recently attended (9/8/2025)the summer bbq at the home,which was wonderful.
This was a real credit to the manager and her staff for putting on such a lovely afternoon.
The bbq food and desserts were great,lovely decorations, good atmosphere,live music and a never ending amout of raffle prizes.
The staff worked hard to make it a very successful day.

Thank you for your kind review we are glad you find us a welcoming place
The lodge appears to be well run and the staff professional and loving towards the residents. A demanding job, but they always have a smile on their face. The place is clean, warm and has a lively atmosphere.

My mum has been at Prideaux Lodge for ten years now and has been extremely well looked after for all of that time. Her dementia has deteriorated considerably over the years and the manager and staff have developed her care plan to suit her considerable needs. Everyone working at Prideaux Lodge, past and present, has always been most caring of Mum and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home in the highest possible terms.
Thank you for your kind review. Your mum and your family are a huge part of the home. Thank you for your continued support of the home.

Mum has been a resident at Prideaux Lodge for almost eight years and the love and care she has received has been outstanding. Mum is never lonely or bored. There's always plenty of activities to keep the residents engaged and entertained. I always receive a warm welcome from the friendly staff who are always smiling and genuinely appear to love their work. Because it's a small care home it is like one big family. Most importantly mum is safe, well cared for and extremely happy.

The staff are very kind, patient and gentle with the residents and have really good communication with families. On one visit to see my mum there was a lady who was very upset and distressed, a caregiver grabbed her photo album and a blanket and snuggled up with her to soothe her - it was so lovely to see and cemented confidence in my mum's welfare.
Thank you for your kinds words about the home. I am glad you feel the home is cosy and welcoming.
My mum was a resident at Prideaux Lodge after moving from elsewhere. I knew nothing about what to expect from a nursing home. My experience of Prideaux and the amazing staff began before Mum even arrived. Everyone seemed to have a knack for just knowing what as a family we needed as well as Mum's...
From the manager at the top down to the hilarious handyman who mum had such a crush on, were just normal people who were there because they loved the residents, it was never about the money. Mum's room was home from home, beautifully furnished. All her needs were met from bathing, and chiropody to hairdressing Prideaux provided it.
The staff interaction with my mum was so beautiful to see and always respectful. The food was phenomenal. Great balance of meals and cakes were yummy.
At the end of Mum's life, we were embraced by the staff who looked after us as they did Mum. She passed peacefully and pain-free and this was a testament to everyone at Prideaux who treated her as family.
Thank you for your kind review. I am glad you feel your mum was well looked after at the home. We have great chefs that produce good home-cooked food, and some amazing cakes. The staff do an amazing job looking after all the residents.

The staff plan activities based on resident's interests and current events, and they adapt these so that all be can involved.
My granny was moved here from another home and it was the best decision my family made.
Thank you for your kind review. I am glad you feel the home was a good choice for your granny. The care staff are very dedicated to the residents and the home, from the carers to the ancillary staff.

My mum passed away yesterday.
The care given to my mum has been outstanding.
Every member of staff I have met have been friendly, kind, considerate and professional.
The rooms are lovely and the meals are too.
The home is also very well managed.
I cannot praise the staff any higher, they are all worthy of the term excellent and I can only say thank you to them all for looking after my mum so well.
Very highly recommended. Thank you.
We are all very sorry for the loss of your mum. We enjoyed looking after her while she was with us. I would like to thank you for your kind review, we are glad that you feel the care has been outstanding, I will pass this on to the staff.

Everybody at Prideaux is there because they love what they do.
When my mother-in-law was understandably apprehensive of somewhere new but within an hour she was smiling and happy.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for anyone from the hilarious maintenance guy who knew everyone by name through to the manager who treated her like their own family. The rooms are beautifully kept and decorated and super clean. The residents have access to a hairdresser, chiropodist and any other outside agencies needed to support your family.
Now, the food is fantastic, home-cooked and fresh every meal. At morning coffee and afternoon tea, the cake is yummy.
As a family, we were always treated with love, dignity and respect. Sadly my mother-in-law has passed now.
Thank you for your kind review we loved looking after your mother and miss seeing you and your family. It's great that we still keep in touch and you still come and support us at our events within the home.

My mother has been a resident at Prideaux Lodge now for over a year as her medical conditions have gradually deteriorated and the support that she needs has become more demanding. Throughout this period I remain impressed with the kindness and level of support she receives from the management, the carers, the catering team and the support staff. Everyone has a positive attitude and a friendly welcome.
Thank you for your kind review, we are pleased that you feel the home is welcoming by all of the team.

This is a very special home and I am so grateful Mum is there. She is happy, well looked after, involved and living her best life inspite of her Alzheimers. This home has a family feel and the team who work there are wonderful, professional, caring and switched on. The food is home-cooked and outstanding and the daily activities, fun. The home itself is beautifully decorated and stimulating for those with Alzheimer's. The bedrooms are lovely too. I can't thank the team enough!
Thank you for your kind review. The kitchen staff do produce some wonderful food for the residents and visitors, especially the cakes. The owner takes pride in all of his homes to ensure they are of a high standard.

My mother's dementia increased and was not being cared for effectively enough at her previous place. What a transformation on her arrival at Prideaux Lodge. From day one, my mother has been treated with dignity respect and, most of all, kindness as she is now at end of life stage. My life has been made so much easier knowing Mum is being treated in a safe and caring environment. I cannot recommend this care home enough.
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad your mother has settled much better than the previous home she was in. I know the care going forward when residents start their end-of-life journey is excellent, and I hope you are assured that the home will continue to treat your mother with dignity and respect.
Excellent home with wonderful care staff. Well run by the overall manager. The owner is very approachable and caring.

Attended the queen's jubilee party today, which was organised and made a nice change for Mum. The food was good and it was nice to have some live music.

I am Level 5 Health and Social Care Management qualified. I lead my professional care team in delivering the highest level of care and support for our residents ensuring a person-centred approach is taken.
I feel that maintaining a strong relationship with residents and their relatives and understanding the important contribution that these relationships make lead to the successful running of a care home.
I have worked in the care industry for 16 years and I am very passionate about social care as a whole and ensuring that standards are met across the whole sector.
I am happy for you to come in and have a coffee and meet the team to help identify, what support is available to you should you need the support of a dementia home. I can talk to you about support options including care and respite.

I have a wealth of knowledge and am very passionate in caring for my residents and ensuring they receive the best quality of care on a day to day basis. I believe communication is key especially when caring for those with dementia.

I have an NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care, my current job role is senior care assistant. I have worked in care since I left school. I am a fun and bubbly person who brings happiness and energy to the residents. I enjoy getting involved in activities when they happen in the home. I enjoy keeping our families up to date with our social media page.

I am a calm and nuturing person and always strive to make the residents feel at ease. I have an NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care which has helped me understand all aspects of the job role and how to meet my residents needs.

I was a qualified nurse in my previous role and have been in the industry for over 20 years. I am enjoying the role I am currently in and the challenges it brings.

I am NVQ Level 3 qualified in Health and Social Care and have worked in the sector for many years. I have a methodical way of working to ensure that all my resident's needs are met. I am now currently the head of Laundry which I enjoy very much.

I have done many roles within the home from housekeeping to laundry and now I have found my niche working in the kitchen alongside some amazing chefs.

I am responsible for the ordering of cleaning supplies and ensuring the home is clean and tidy and odour free.

I am currently in charge of keeping the residents entertained through various activities such as arts and crafts, gardening club, I produce a monthly activities schedule for friends and families to see what we are doing within the home.

I have worked in the care industry for over 000 years. I am currently a senior care assistant administering medication to the residents. I also work on the care plans and risk assessments for the home.

I have been working as a step-up senior since I returned to Prideaux Lodge after some time out of care.
I enjoy working with the residents and like to ensure their day is fulfilled.
