We worked so hard to keep my 97 year old mum independent. One week into her move to Cambrian Lodge we suddenly wondered why we had waited to make the move. Mum looks better in herself with regular meds, meals & company, and we can spend quality time with her rather than stressing about every day tasks. Mum feels respected & cared for and hasn't looked back once. Why did we put this off?
Thankyou so much for your comments , the Team at Cambrian work hard to ensure our residents feel valued and care for
The understanding and respect she has been given has made her transition into the care home so much more easy. She is very happy.

She has settled in extremely well. We were very impressed in that prior to mum's stay here, the home were keen to get to know her current needs, likes, dislikes and her background.
So when she did arrive, they did everything they could to reassure both mum and our family that she would be safe, well looked after and cared for and treated with respect and dignity.
The staff are all really lovely. They always have time to explain anything that might be causing concern. They are very positive and smiling. The GP comes in regularly and any health issues are followed up. There's regular entertainment and exercise for anyone who wants to join in. Visitors are...

My husband is always bodily clean. Whenever I visit, I am offered a cup of coffee or tea, depending on the time of day. The same applies to family and friends. We are made to feel welcome, and my queries always answered.

My mother is lucky enough to have a beautiful room at Cambrian Lodge. The room is newly painted, curtains washed and deep cleaned, new shelves put up on request, mum's pictures put up where she asked. A wonderful, loving, personal greeting from all the staff and a great cup of tea on arrival. Mum loves her room and is feeling settled. Her meals and requirements all taken note of. Personally, she feels safe. All visitors say the same thing when they exit the building - you don't want to leave. I feel that way. It is a home not a facility. Everyone is so kind - lucky mum to be there.
Beautiful words, thank you! We pride ourselves on a loving, caring, personal place to live and a special thank you must go to the staff team at Cambrian Lodge. We are glad you feel at home here and that our staff have made your experience so positive. It is truly rewarding to know our efforts are appreciated!

For four years my mother has resided here and we are all very happy with her care. The building is old-fashioned but comfortable and the caring staff attentive and friendly. This was the only care-home that asked us about mother and her interests before we signed up. Others spoke of money very early in our discussions.
Thank you for your kind words. The team at Cambrian are very proud of what they achieve.

The activities and entertainment are great at Cambrian Lodge. The activities are engaging and entertaining, from crosswords, quizzes, bell ringing or arts and crafts, there's always a full activity schedule that's enjoyed by all. There seems to be a personalised approach to ensure there's something for everyone and this along with the regular movement and exercise sessions create a really fun atmosphere. Also the events such as the summer fayre are well organised and enjoyed by all the residents. Not only is the care and support here great but the activities are fantastic.
Thank you for your very kind words and feedback. The team pride themselves on delivering quality activities that everyone can engage in.
My father has been treated with the upmost kindness and respect by all at Cambrian Lodge. He was recognised and known as a person and encouraged by all. Especially as his health declined, he was given more 1-1 time on top of a busy schedule - time was made to hold his hand and be there for him....
We cannot recommend the manager and the whole team more. They showed care, compassion and respect at all stages and supported Dad and us to the very end going above and beyond. A well-run home which felt like a home for Dad and a welcoming place for us. Professionally kind. Thank you all - we are so grateful for your care and kindness and wish you all well- what an amazing group of people you are. We really appreciate and thank you for all you do for both the residents in your care and the families.
Thank you for such lovely words. We recognise how important family are, and how much more alive the home is when family and friends are in it. It is of much comfort to me and my team, to know that despite the sadness of the loss of a loved one, we were able to provide compassion and dignity for you all.
My Grandfather is a resident at Cambrian. All of the staff are wonderful and very caring! The staff have great communication and interpersonal skills and made sure to keep me updated regularly when my grandfather was deteriorating. Their care towards us and my family at such a difficult time has...
My Grandfather is a resident at Cambrian. All of the staff are wonderful and very caring! The staff have great communication and interpersonal skills and made sure to keep me updated regularly when my grandfather was deteriorating. Their care towards us and my family at such a difficult time has been very comforting! Thank you to all of the staff at Cambrian.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Supporting people through the difficult part of life's journey end is about supporting not just the residents, but also their loved ones. It was a true pleasure to care for him, and we will miss seeing you all.
I visited a family friend at Cambrian Lodge earlier this month. It was my first time visiting him at this home as he has only been there for just over a month but I was delighted to see how quickly he had settled in he has already built up quite a rapport with the staff who were very friendly and...
It was reassuring to see him so happy and settled and I would like to thank everyone at Cambrian Lodge for looking after him so well.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We have had lots of projects on the go recently, and have managed to encourage people with crafting and gardening who have never tried it before, so we are thrilled to be expanding people's hobbies and allowing them to thrive!

Choice of food good and nicely cooked and prepared. She eats well.
Thank you for your kind review. We feel very strongly about celebrating birthdays, because as we get older, every milestone is a celebration of life! It is always lovely to see families gathering together and we are glad to facilitate
From the moment my son and I walked into the building I felt hope not knowing what to expect. We were met by the manager who put all my worries regarding my wife's care to rest.

From the moment my son and I walked into the building I felt hope not knowing what to expect. We were met by the manager who put all my worries regarding my wife's care to rest. The home and staff could not have been nicer. I have been married to my wife for 65 years, yes I miss her but it gives me peace of mind knowing she is in a home that is simply just like home! Thank you.
This care home has a wonderful aura of care, calmness and family - it is always difficult experiencing a loved one entering a care home but the manager and her excellent team make that transition as good as it possibly can be.

This care home has a wonderful aura of care, calmness and family - it is always difficult experiencing a loved one entering a care home but the manager and her excellent team make that transition as good as it possibly can be. The staff are always happy, smiling and attentive treating everyone with love, affection and dignity. I came away from visiting Mum today with an easier conscience that she is in very good hands and everyone makes us so welcome whenever we visit. Keep up the fantastic work.
Wow! Thank you, what lovely words. We're so pleased your mum is settling in so well, and thrilled that you feel you can be rest assured that she is loved and cared for. We celebrate family here, and couldn't do that without support from family members and visitors.
These busy staffs don't simply respond to needs but continually engage with...

Meet Marie – a woman who's turned three decades of caring into an art form.
With over 30 years in health and social care, I've had the incredible privilege of supporting people across the spectrum – from elderly residents to adults with learning disabilities. But it's the past 11 years as a home manager, particularly specialising in dementia care, where I've really found my stride.
My qualifications include a Level 5 diploma in leadership and management, but honestly, some of my most valuable education has come from the residents and families I've worked with over the years. Every day teaches me something new.
When I'm not at Cambrian Lodge, I'm very much a family-focused person. You'll often find me in the kitchen creating celebration cakes (it's become quite the hobby!), planning our next travel adventure, or curled up somewhere quiet with a really good book.
I believe that care is about seeing the person behind the need – understanding their story, their preferences, and what makes them feel truly at home. That's what we strive for every single day at Cambrian Lodge.
