Visiting
- The team value the importance of visitors in the lives of residents and fully support their right to maintain contact with family, friends, and loved ones. The visitors policy ensures that visits are welcomed, safe, and respectful of each resident’s personal wishes. Key points of the policy: Open Visiting: Visitors are welcome at any time, unless a resident personally requests limited visits or there is an outbreak of infection, in which case the home will follow health and safety guidance. Resident Choice: Each resident can decide who they want to see, and this choice will be recorded in their care plan. If a resident lacks the capacity to make this decision, the Mental Capacity Act will guide the process to ensure visits still support their best interests. Visitor Registration: All visitors must sign in and out at reception and follow any health and safety procedures in place. Privacy and Respect: Residents have the right to refuse visitors, and this will always be respected. Visitors will not be allowed into other residents’ rooms without express permission. Food and Personal Items: Any food or personal items brought in for a resident must be declared to staff to ensure safety and dietary needs are considered. Infection Control: Visitors who feel unwell, especially with symptoms of transmissible infections (such as flu, COVID-19, or norovirus), are asked to postpone their visit until they are well. Conflict and Safeguarding: If a visitor’s behaviour poses a risk to residents, staff, or the home environment, management will intervene. In serious cases, visits may be restricted or conditions imposed, with advice from the Safeguarding Team if necessary. Outbreak Management: In the event of a public health incident, the home will follow local and national guidance, offering alternatives like video calls or window visits if needed. Feedback and Complaints: Visitors are encouraged to provide feedback and raise any concerns, which will be handled through the Complaints, Suggestions and Compliments Policy. Our goal is to make every visit a positive, safe, and supportive experience for all.
Parking
- There is a private car park at the back of the property.

Thank you for your feedback. Since the Registered Manager returned in May 2025, staff turnover has reduced, and we now have a stable, experienced team, which was commended in our CQC inspection on 16 July 2025. Parking is available at the rear of the home, though spaces depend on visitor numbers. Street parking is limited to 30 minutes, and we cannot provide visitor permits; however, staff permits are being arranged to free more spaces for visitors.We value family involvement, but your relative has full mental capacity and has chosen not to share certain personal information. Under the Mental Capacity Act, we must respect their wishes and confidentiality. We continue to encourage them to involve you where they feel comfortable. We remain committed to consistent, person-centred care and ongoing improvements in communication and wellbeing support.

Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are excellent and are always there to help and to give advice when ever you need them. And I would like to take the time to thank them all for everything that they do. You always get a straight answer to any questions you ask.
Everyone has always looked after me and my mother very well. Although it has been very difficult over the past few months with Covid etc. But we have always been informed and allowed to visit. A big thank you to everyone.

We are three sisters who had the unenviable decision of putting our Mum in a care home. We decided that Philia Lodge would be the most suitable, and how glad we were that we chose this home! The manager and her team of wonderful staff made Mum's stay like a home from home. Mum was treated with love, care and dignity, and when covid made visits very difficult, the staff filled in for us showing Mum so much love and affection. We would never hesitate in recommending this care home as it truly is in our opinion the best care home by far!
It was our pleasure being given the opportunity to care for your Mum for almost 3 years. She was a truly beautiful person and we will miss you all.
The whole experience has been lovely. This is a truly caring place. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. I'd recommend Philia Lodge to everyone.
