We cannot speak more highly about the staff and the effort they put in to keep my mother safe and well. During Covid, the activities coordinators excelled themselves and kept the residents very occupied and entertained. We would thoroughly recommend Worcester Lodge to anyone considering a care home for a loved one. A loving, caring and active environment. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words with regards to your mother's care at Worcester Lodge. It means so much to the team to hear such positive feedback.
My husband has been in here for four years and it's been very good but now he is on end of life care it has gone up to excellent. This is in spite of it being a care home and not a nursing home.
My mum was happy when I saw her there at Christmas last year but then my mum moved on to another home due to her mobility and her care needs. A month after she moved, I lost my mum who passed away in February this year. I’d like to say a big thank you to the staff and the support which was given by the management and staff at Worcester Lodge. Sorry if this is taking too long for me to write a review up. I just take each day as it comes now as mum is not gonna say thank you for being part of her life and taking good care of her, I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to be in.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm so glad you are happy with the care your mum received and will pass on your appreciation to all the staff who work so hard to create an amazing home for the residents.
Mum always seems content in the home. The nurses alerted her GP to spells of dizziness and her GP examined her and did some tests. One of the supervisors supported me in filling out an attendance allowance form.
Worcester Lodge provides for all my wife's needs, care, medication, support, in a dignified manner. Have recommended this care home to a number of people needing the facility.

Hi, I’m Danielle and I am the Trainee Manager of Worcester Lodge. I have worked within the care industry for 15 years. I started off as a care assistant and have worked my way up over the years. I have gained my knowledge not only by doing the practical side of care but also by doing my NVQ 2, NVQ 3, and then my NVQ 5. I am very passionate about supporting people with Dementia, and I love to promote the best care possible. I love my dog and she is my world! My family are also very important to me, and I see them all as much as I can.
