Nightingale Lodge

My brother moved into Nightingale Lodge three years ago and a great weight was lifted from my shoulders. I remember his saying to the person in charge before he moved in "If I don't behave you will throw me out", she said, " we will never throw you out". A great comfort. He is always treated with great respect and kindness. The staff like him and he likes them. They take the trouble to talk about things that interest him. The food is delicious. He always looks immaculate.

We will always be grateful that our mother has the good fortune to be a resident in this outstanding home at this phase of her life.

Very friendly clean and comfortable.

Nightingale Lodge has very high standards in every field including kindness. The staff are outstanding. The atmosphere and overall standards are excellent.

Since our dear friend/neighbour arrived to live at Nightingale Lodge there has been a vast improvement in her health, wellbeing and personality. The staff at Nightingale Lodge are encouraging, supportive and patient. We always find them polite and welcoming. On arrival, we are welcomed with a smile and offered a drink with our dear friend. We have had lunch with our lovely friend which was very good and will definitely book again in the future. The entertainment is very good and although our friend would rather not attend the offer is always there. This is a wonderful, beautiful and caring home. Congratulations Nightingale Lodge!

Prior to and, at entry, my mother was terrified at the uncertainty of leaving her home. On arrival we were greeted by a deputy manager, some carers, the cook and the manager - what a heartfelt welcome! Hands, held, eye contact, smiles, such assistance which has been constant since arrival. Mum's care plan, needs, meds, likes etc have clearly been considered and digested. Mum is improving after only 3 days still a little anxious but with such support should settle. Great stuff, well done. A very big thank you.

A lady resident had her 100th Birthday Party this week and the management and staff put on t fantastic effort for her. Food, drink and entertainment, they all worked very hard and they are an absolute credit in the way they take care of the residents including my wife.

The lady we visit has been resident for approximately 2 years and is very well looked after. The prices charged are very fair and we would unreservedly recommend this home to anyone.

I have been very pleased with the level of care afforded to my father, and management and staff always answer all/any questions or queries. My observations indicate my father is treated with dignity and as a person. Staff are aware of his needs.

Décor very light and bright and appeared to me, very clean everywhere.

My mother became a resident of Nightingale Lodge in March 2018. She did not find the transition easy but with the help and support of the warm and friendly staff, is settling into her new life in their capable hands. I chose Nightingale Lodge for her as it was undoubtedly the best the area had to offer and also because it was somewhere I know and my family would be happy to spend time in when visiting her.

Kind and friendly staff. Mum is so much happier now and is well-cared for.

This review is very good. The staff are excellent.

The staff are always kind and respectful to my uncle. They make visitors welcome. We visited my uncle and were going to leave and return after lunch, the manager invited us to stay and have lunch with my uncle which meant that we could extend our visit. The lunch was very good indeed, and the chef was even able to cater for my vegetarian son at short notice.

I think that the care my uncle receives is excellent.

Overall we are very happy with the home. There have been issues with laundry but they have been addressed. Mum is very contented and the staff are very kind and caring.

The meals are excellent. I have been invited several times to join my husband for lunch and I have been made to feel very welcome. The staff are all very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.

I regularly visit my Aunt, who resides in Nightingale Lodge. I am very impressed with the high standards of both the staff and home. The staff are always very caring and friendly. The home is very clean, and most important of all, there is a lovely atmosphere and my Aunt is very happy there.

The food is good. The staff are kind and make sure I see a GP promptly when I need to. The room is comfortable and I have enjoyed regular visits to the theatre which were arranged by Nightingale Lodge. They make visitors feel welcome.

I have been very pleased with all aspects of this care home. The room that I have is excellent and I am very satisfied since first coming here. The staff have been really kind and caring and I couldn't wish for a better home to be in.

I have been visiting a friend at Nightingale Lodge for quite a while now and have found that he has been so happy living there at the home. The staff are extremely friendly and always very helpful. My dear friend has told me of their kindness towards him and he seems so at ease living there. All in all, I feel that this is a well-run care home.
