Dad has been at Mendip Lodge since March 2025, initially for 2 weeks respite care when his "at home" carer was on holiday. He has moderate/severe dementia and very restricted mobility. Both my sister and myself were very impressed with the home, the carers, environment, freshly cooked meals and...
At the weekend Dad turned 90, a real milestone. The home helped us celebrate with close family by organising a fantastic tea party celebration in the lovely garden. We would unreservedly recommend the home to anyone looking for a "special place" for a family member.

The biggest compliment we can pay is that when funeral directors 'collected' Mum they asked of those in the room who were family and who were staff. Thank you all of you

Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful words about your mum's time with us at Mendip Lodge. It means a great deal to every member of the team to know that she felt welcomed, understood, and supported during her stay.Your final words touched us all.

All the staff at Mendip lodge were friendly and accommodating. My dad stayed with them for 3 months recuperating and made such a good recovery he was able to return home stronger, healthier and more able. Mendip Lodge has a welcoming home-from-home atmosphere and always felt optimistic for its residents when I was there. Well done everyone, your dedication is superb.
Thank you very much for your feedback and it means a lot to all of us. I personally saw the progress that Dad made from the time he was in the hospital to when he got discharged from Mendip Lodge. We loved looking after Dad and great to know that he is doing well at home.

My husband was a resident of Mendip Lodge for more than 3 months in 2024. He was recovering from a fall followed by a long stay in hospital. As soon as I stepped into Mendip Lodge I knew it was the right place for him. It's homely, warm and everyone was friendly. When the manager said they could take him a huge worry was lifted from me. To this day I can't thank the manager enough. All the staff were caring, cheerful and very hard working. The food was freshly cooked every day and as my husband's health improved he enjoyed all of it and looked forward to mealtimes. The staff looked after every aspect of his personal care and he was very well cared for. I knew he was in safe hands and that meant such a lot to me. He is now home and doing well. Thank you to all the staff, without exception, for looking after him so well.
It was indeed such a joy to care for your husband. We tried to give our best during his stay with us and with a goal for him to be back with you to lead a normal life. We are happy and proud that you are having a fabulous time together. Thanks for your kind words and it means a lot to our hardworking and wonderful staff.
The care home staff have been fantastic. My father has been in the care home for over 12 months, they made him welcome from day one, sadly he has deteriorated in that period due to his condition but the care home adapted to him. What is also good he has consistency with the same staff at the lodge.

It is indeed a privilege to care for your dad. He is settled well with us. Thank you for your positive review and it means a lot to our lovely staff.

My father has been a resident of Mendip Lodge for over 18 months. He suffers from Alzheimer's and is 95 years of age. The care and support he receives at Mendip Lodge is outstanding. I live a distance away, and it is comforting to know how well he is cared for by all the staff at Mendip Lodge. The food is fresh and cooked daily to an excellent standard. The staff are all so very supportive of Dad, they have worked at the home for many years, which gives him familiarity. His life is comfortable and safe and he is happy. Well done to all the staff at Mendip Lodge.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. As you rightly said, the continuity of care is very important for people with dementia. Mendip Lodge has not used agency staff for the past 10 years. Our staff know each and every resident in and out, which makes it possible to offer holistic care. Your kind words are always a morale booster for our staff.
The recent garden refurbishment is great. With level access from paving to add to the turf.

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback as each and every good word is a reward for our hard working staff. Thank you for being such a lovely daughter doing everything that you can to keep Mum happy. She is like one of the staff members, taking care of all the residents.
This is a first-class care home with great staff. All seem to be content and happy. Food is good. I am happy that my wife has all her needs catered for. I am made to feel welcome during visits. Inside and outside are to a good standard.

Thank you very much for such a positive response. Your wife has settled down really well and is a pleasure to be around. Thank you so much for bringing in the Holy Communion for the residents to meet their spiritual needs on a monthly basis.
My aunt has been here for a few weeks. She is well cared for and very happy. The staff keep you well informed of how things are going with my aunt. She is enjoying the company of the other residents and the care she is receiving.

The garden party was well organised, but I'm not sure if it achieved the objective of promoting the Pods. I'm not sure if they achieved their design as they appear very small for the price.

Thank you for your positive response for the care home. The Pods (they are separate to the care home) are designed for people who can enjoy the independence in their own space but will have assistance with food, cleaning and laundry. There are single and double Pods to meet to the needs of the residents. Thank you again for your lovely feedback.

I had to put my mother into a facility for respite care and Mendip Lodge was suggested. We are so lucky as this place is fantastic. The staff are great and are very caring. The food is great and Mum is looked after amazingly. This is a smaller facility than other care homes which makes it a nicer choice. I would recommend Mendip Lodge to anybody thinking of putting their parents into care.
Thank you so much for your positive review. Every single word of goodness is great for our staff who look after each and every resident as their own family member. Once again a big thanks.
Ever since the mother-in-law has been in the home since 2023 she seems very settled with the surroundings and staff. We are all very happy with care at the home, and we are all more relaxed with her care and well-being.

My mother came to Mendip Lodge for an emergency week of respite care, found for us by North Somerset Social Services, following a fall (a fracture) while we sorted some homecare out. We are all so grateful for the wonderful care and support shown to Mum and, in fact, to all of us (my dad and myself were really reassured and supported too). We cannot speak highly enough of the fantastic staff. One staff member in particular was so helpful and gave us lots of advice and all the staff worked really hard to make my mum comfortable and welcome for her short stay. You were very accommodating and lovely with her many visitors too! You all really helped us in what was a very stressful time. It’s good to know we can return for respite if needed in future!

Families like you make us feel more proud of the profession that we are in. Your Mum, Dad and the family as a whole were so supportive to Mum during her stay with us. Thank you once again for being such an exceptional family.
My father came to Mendip Lodge earlier in the summer as things were getting difficult at home with my mother trying to support him with his dementia and other health issues. Obviously, it was a big step for both my parents, but I chose this particular care home as, after visiting a number of...
I now visit my father several times a week and I am very happy with the choice I made, as although he has a number of conditions making his care challenging, the staff approach this in a professional yet compassionate manner, and I can be sure that he is getting his medication and that I will be informed of any problems. Most importantly, my father is content, too.
Thank you for the lovely comments about your dad's care. We aim to look after the residents like our own family and we could not do what we do without the support from family members like you. Thank you once again for your lovely comments, which is a real morale booster for our hardworking staff.
Dad has been at Mendip Lodge for almost two years and has always been well cared for by the team, which was especially important to us as a family during the difficult Covid lockdowns when we were unable to see him regularly. He is a proud man and can be challenging at times, as he is well aware of...
The team at Mendip Lodge is well established and experienced, and that makes a big difference in the day-to-day continuity of his care and understanding Dad’s particular needs.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. All our decisions taken at Mendip is resident centric and revolves around their well-being. Families like you are a blessing for us, as it makes it easy to work for the betterment of the resident. We are able to achieve great care only because of the involvement from the families and the external professionals including our GP practice. Thanks for your genuine feedback, it makes our staff to strive more for our residents.
My father has been in Mendip Lodge for 18 months and we have always found the staff very caring despite him being difficult at times. It is nice that staff turnover seems to be low and there is continuity if care, especially during lockdowns.

Thank you for the feedback. You have been an integral part in your dad's care. Your dad keeps our team going with his incredible one-liners and quick wit. Thanks for all that you do for your dad and for helping us in every way that is possible.
Excellent respite care. Mum came out much better than she went in. Care, help and encouragement were very good and her improvement reflected this. The home was also able to react quickly when I was looking for a place urgently. Overall a very positive experience.

Thanks for your feedback. It was a pleasure to care for your mum. She is greatly missed by us and the residents. We wish her a happy and safe home stay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks for the lovely comments. When I went to assess Mum in the previous care home they informed that she was not walking, but she started to walk with staff support, from day two with us and now she does not need any assistance at all. She has gained more confidence now to mobilise and enjoys the company of her friends. What a turnaround! Thanks for being such a supportive family.
Mum has settled in well and is enjoying activities and meals. She loves the guinea pigs and the piano. The manager was very careful to learn about my mum before she moved here and that has helped her move.

Thank you very much for your response. Mum is such a lovely person to care for. Though it took three hours drive to assess Mum, I think it is vital to know the needs of the residents before they move into Mendip Lodge. You are such an amazing family, taking care of Mum's well being, especially taking her for the short trips in and around North Somerset. Let's continue to work as a team for mum's well-being.
