I found Mendip Lodge was a small friendly care home which is well managed by management and staff. My aunt was in Mendip Lodge for nearly 6 years and in that time her dementia got progressively worse and she could be very difficult at times. The carers would never know what to expect. However, all the staff from the manager down to the cleaners, managed to cope with my aunt in a caring and considerate way at all times. Whenever I visited or phoned, staff were always ready to keep me up to date on how my aunt was. I was really impressed with how they coped with Covid and kept everyone well and safe. I found the carers especially caring in my aunt's last few weeks of life. Many thanks to everyone.
Thank you very much for your review. We did our best to keep your aunt happy, independent and enabled her to spend time in a meaningful way. She was able to live a life, the way she wanted it to be, with full control. I can't thank you enough for your role in looking after your aunt. You have been...

I cannot thank the manager and his staff enough.

It is heartwarming to see such a lovely positive feedback from yourselves. Covid did not stop us from showing Mendip Lodge to you and your nan through photos and videos. We always believe that care home is a permanent home for residents and that they should feel 100% confident about moving in. Family members like you make care transition from her home into the care home so smooth by researching thoroughly and ensuring that they are placed in the right hands. Once again thanks for those glowing feedback, which is a boost to the morale of our staff, who are tirelessly working to keep our residents safe, secure, cared, loved and belonged. Your nan is already spreading positivity around the place.
Staff are welcoming, come to say hello to you when you visit. At the end of life for my Nan, they were very considerate and kept me informed. Any questions I had they were at ease to answer.

Thanks for your positive response. We aim to make the life of all residents meaningful. Though your Nan could not participate in many activities, we managed to ensure that she also was able to be part of our daily activities including reminiscence conversations, singing, hand massage, aromatherapy and a bit of banter to bring out her lovely smile. Despite the Covid situation, we ensured that all relatives were able to visit any time of the day or night during her last days, observing the PPE protocol. It was a blessing that your Nan passed away holding the hands of her partner. We still invite the partner to have a cup of tea and have a chat to offer him support. The memories of your Nan will live forever with us. Thanks for all the support that you offered during her stay.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Each and every word of appreciation from relatives like you motivates us to do more for our lovable residents. Knowing that your dad was an excellent table tennis player and a renowned coach in the past, we wanted him to carry on playing table tennis. As residents are at the centre of any decisions that we take, we decided to get a Table tennis kit to play with him. We managed to adapt to the dining table as a table tennis table and are having regular games with your dad. Once again, thanks for the positive comments and for the excellent support that you offer to your dad as a family. Let us make his life more meaningful as a team.
Staff are considerate, kind and caring. Management are helpful and reassuring. At a difficult time, our family felt Mendip Lodge managed the safety and well-being of our relative with upmost care and kindness.

Everyone in the family has expressed the same feelings towards the carers at Mendip Lodge. Thanks for looking after Mum, and keeping her safe through this COVID-19 madness.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Each and every positive comment is an encouragement to our staff and would motivate them to do more for our vulnerable residents. When the social worker from previous Local authority came to review your Mum's needs, she could not believe the way that she settled at Mendip Lodge. Your Mum is such a lovely person to care for. She is so caring and loving towards us all. She would make our day with her quick witty response and facial expressions. She has such a beautiful voice. We are privileged to care for your mum. Thank you for all the support that you offer to your Mum. It makes a big difference when families and the care home work as a team for the well-being of the loved ones. Thank you for being such a supportive family.

My father was a resident of Mendip Lodge for 3 years before he passed away. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and compassion they showed him. He was always treated as an individual and for that I am very grateful. The staff are very caring and the food is amazing - all home made and delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mendip Lodge as a place for your loved one to be looked after. As it is a comparatively small home it feels like being part of a big family.

My father was at Mendip Lodge for six weeks of respite care after having several falls. He had never been in full-time care before and at the age of 90 was quite anxious. The room provided was perfect for his needs. The staff were great with him and my family from the moment we arrived and it was stress-free knowing we were leaving him in safe hands. He enjoyed the food and often said there were too many meals! All the staff get involved with the care of the residents and are always pleased to talk to the family when visiting. They have to care for a variety of residents with different needs and do so with patience and dignity. I know my father felt well cared for and safe while at Mendip Lodge.
In February my mother moved into a residential care home following a number of falls at home. That home was OK but I could not quite put my finger on what was lacking. However, following a more serious fall at that residential home, Mum ended up in hospital. On discharge from hospital, we as a...
In February my mother moved into a residential care home following a number of falls at home. That home was OK but I could not quite put my finger on what was lacking. However, following a more serious fall at that residential home, Mum ended up in hospital. On discharge from hospital, we as a family decided to look for and to move Mum to a new home. At Mendip Lodge, Mum settled in almost immediately and it simply became her new home. Mum is well fed, cared for and warm and happy.

Our cousin, who was resident at Mendip Lodge until she sadly died at the end of June, was a very strong-willed and sometimes difficult lady to please but I have to say that the care she received at Mendip Lodge could not have been better. The staff were very patient, attentive and caring and spent...
She told us that the food was excellent and that there was plenty of choice.

My father has been at Mendip Lodge now for almost 3 years. I am extremely happy with all aspects of his care. We always can be assured of a warm welcome and a lovely smile by the staff who make you feel at home. The staff are helpful, caring and it is evident that they have the training and knowledge to deal with each situation as it arises. My father has several medical and mental health issues and I am confident that the staff are well equipped to manage his needs. The home itself has a lovely, homely and relaxed atmosphere, the meals are of a high standard and residents are always given choices. My dad loved the monthly trips, visiting areas of interest in and around Bristol and North Somerset. The manager is always happy to answer any queries and displays genuine care for the residents. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to anyone looking for a residential home for their loved one.
I am glad to know that you are extremely happy with all aspects of your Dad's care. Our priority has always been for the resident to live an independent life, with utmost respect and dignity.

Our mother had been a resident at Mendip Lodge until 15th April when she sadly died. During her time at Mendip Lodge, she had been treated with dignity and kindness even though my sister and I were aware that she wasn't always easy. During her last week, the staff were outstanding. We were made welcome day and night and all the staff were totally understanding of our plight at this time. Nothing was too much. They were all helpful and totally supportive and provided the kindest and truly sensitive care in our mother's final days. This is a Home where the staff do care and I would strongly recommend it should you be looking to place a relative.
Thank you very much for your kind words Paul. It was a privilege to have your mom herewith us and we tried to ensure that she enjoyed an independent, dignified, respectful, person-centred, caring, loving and a meaningful life. As a family, you all were so supportive and caring for your mom. I think as a team, you and us, have made her feel at home at Mendip Lodge. We all miss her witty one-liners.
The staff are all happy...
Would highly recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are very lucky to have such a great manager and team of staff who really do want to help our residents enjoy a full and happy life, maintaining dignity and independence as much as possible. The greatest compliment we can receive is your recommendation. Your comments are very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Both my parents are residents at Mendip Lodge and have been for nearly four years. My wife and I visit every week and try to attend Mendip Lodge events as often as possible and so I think we have got to know the staff well. We have always been impressed by the attitude and expertise of the carers. They are friendly and caring while remaining professional. My parents have very different needs and the Home has always responded with complete appropriateness, thoughtfulness and professionalism.

My 91-year-old mother has been residing at Mendip Lodge for the past 16 months where she has been given the most loving care and attention despite her frequent extra needs. Mendip Lodge is a lovely environment but the carers make it even more special. Sadly Mum has needed to move to a nursing home now as her mobility and health have deteriorated to a level where specialised lifting is needed, though all attempts were made to prevent this move being the outcome, and for this, I am truly grateful to them for going the extra mile. I would highly recommend Mendip Lodge to anyone searching for a safe and loving haven for their loved one, my very heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful staff, they have been like a family to me and a great support.
