Communication with relatives has improved recently regarding what is going on in the home and the direction it is taking. Would be good if relatives were included more in a resident's care and care plan.

The recently appointed manager and his deputy have an open door policy and always have time to listen and discuss any concerns however minor and will resolve any issues, nothing is too much trouble.
There is always an activity taking place and the residents are encouraged to take part but left to their own devices if that is their preference. The coordinators are friendly and patient and constantly arrange topical events and there is always a great atmosphere.
The food is always good and the kitchen staff and housekeepers do a fantastic job and are also great with the residents and relatives too.

My mother has been at Spring Lodge for nearly 3 years and every time I visit I come away feeling she is in good hands and being cared for properly. The staff are always pleasant and amazingly patient despite all the demands and pressures put on them.
Despite several changes of managers, the health and safety needs of mother have always been met. Now with the right new manager in place, a renewed focus on extracurricular activities seems to be emerging - see the latest newsletter as an example. Arranging all these takes time and effort, but for the residents, I'm sure this is what makes the difference.

I visited my relative at Spring Lodge recently, and I can say that I had the most amazing experience ever. I was received very politely by the home manager and even offered a cup of tea on my arrival by members of staff. My relative is well looked after and I couldn't wish for better. The home manager is the most approachable person I have ever met - very polite and caring. All the staff seemed happy and enjoying their work and most of all very professional.
I definitely recommend Spring Lodge. Congratulations for such an amazing team.
Very friendly, they go out of their way to make sure every resident gets everything personal how they like and friends and family are always welcome to eat with residents too. The new manager is amazing.

The home is always nice and clean and the food looks very good and my sister says it usually tastes good. She has a new room now which I have not seen yet so I can't comment on it, only her old one.
Very good and welcoming place. They make me feel at home. Staff is like a big family. I feel loved and cared for.

There is good food and nutritious snacks provided between main meals. I also like the layout of the home - there are many different areas each with their own atmosphere and a beautiful safe garden and courtyard.

My sister has been a resident for the past year at this care home. I myself work in another care home as a carer and chose this home due to the loving caring and thoughtful carers that do an extremely caring role, look after residents and do an outstanding job. The home is always clean and everyone is always helpful. The food is excellent. I have recommended the home to many people, not only for residents but a lovely place to work.
Spring Lodge comes up to all standards in resident care. The home is wonderful on all things ile. You name it and the home gets there. My wife has been living there for 6 years and its home to her. When there, she feels safe and relaxed, cuddles the staff and smiles at all times.

Mum is happy and well cared for by the excellent staff who are kind and very patient (especially to those with dementia). This, in turn, makes us happy!

My mother stayed at Spring Lodge for a week's respite recently. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, management very friendly, approachable and extremely understanding. On my visits, I noticed the residents always had drinks and was chatted to constantly by the staff. There are activities 5 days a week, they even let my mother take her budgie in with her. All in all, my mum was very happy and has even spoken about returning. Thank you to the management and care workers who made my mum feel very happy and comfortable during her stay.

My mum has been resident at Spring Lodge for nearly four years and has always received the kindest care. Mum likes to walk and she is able to do this around the home and in the gardens which are quite large and secure. The staff, without exception, are caring and kind, spending time with individuals when they can. The home is well decorated and comfortable and the views of residents and relatives are sought and acted upon. My mum particularly enjoys activities involving music and animals.
Spring Lodge is a care home with specialises in looking after residents with Dementia. My mum has been there since January 2015 and has settled in very quickly. She is very content in the environment there, is safe and well looked after.

My name is Samantha Davis, and I have been a Nurse for almost 20 years now and have spent most of my career working in the elderly care sector; working within management roles for 8 years, I find this extremely fulfilling and rewarding. Working as the Deputy Manager/Clinical Lead at Spring Lodge since September 2023, I feel there is a great team, and I thoroughly enjoy working with them all. I have a passion for person-centred care and am enthusiastic about promoting this throughout the home; I believe in providing a holistic approach to care and am looking forward to working with the caring staff already established at Spring Lodge to embed this further.

I have been an Adult Nurse for nearly 2 years now. I previously worked as an A&E Nurse in London's most diverse area. Working with people from different cultural backgrounds and ages. I enjoyed working there as it allowed me to gain a wide range of knowledge of others' backgrounds, helping me to meet individuals' needs with more understanding. Person-centred care is important to me as it allows us to provide safe and holistic care for that individual and improve outcomes. I previously was one of the nursing staff at Spring Lodge and enjoyed my role here, being able to provide residents with person-centred and holistic care. I have also enjoyed being a part of such a caring team to support those staying at Spring Lodge. I have been an Adult Nurse for nearly 2 years now.

Having worked in the hospitality industry for over 25 years, I have developed a strong commitment to providing excellent service to all individuals. My passion lies in ensuring the satisfaction of those using my services, and I take great pride in exceeding their expectations. At Spring Lodge, I have found a fulfilling environment where I am able to connect with and assist our residents on a daily basis. Working alongside my colleagues has been a delight, as we collaborate to deliver the highest standard of service to our residents. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a dedicated team.
In my spare time, I continue to pursue my passion for massage therapy, finding joy in helping others relax and rejuvenate. I also enjoy taking leisurely walks and spending quality time with my loved ones.

I came to Spring Lodge just over a year ago with over 25 years’ worth of Administrator experience and I am very passionate about being helpful, organised and a friendly welcoming face of Spring Lodge. Spring Lodge is more than a care home, it’s a lovely warm family of staff, residents and families. Every day I leave with a full heart and proud to be part of the Spring Lodge wonderful team.
Outside of work, I love to read, and crochet and my family and I love walking our dog under the Orwell Bridge along the stunning River Gipping.

I am a dedicated, organized and methodical individual with a keen eye for detail. I strive to produce home-cooked food to a restaurant standard. I have many great years of experience within the industry. I have worked at Spring Lodge for nearly 20 years. It fills me with pride to provide meals that residents really enjoy and I have a great understanding of IDDSI.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family, and listening to music and art.
