Review from Philip F (Resident / Service User) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I've been a resident here for nearly 3 months, I wasn't told about impending building extension work when I came here but now the 'modernisation work's been infull flow for the last 6 weeks or so with not a lot to show for it. I was even told today that I'll have to move out while this extensive building work is being carried out.
The atmosphere is very tense at times due the staff attitudes towards us altho' the home's motto is 'Residents don't live in our workplace we work in their home.; This maxim has been forgotten by both the owners and staff from the office staff down

I'm a 78-year old man with severe disabilities yet I get shown little compassion here and some residents are in a lot worse state than me. Uprooting myself will be no easy matter both physically and mentally; my mind and body are worn out with anxiety and stress and physically with various forms of arthritis. If I have to leave I've no idea what the immediate future of Appleby Lodge is going to be....?

Review from Martin B (Son of Resident) published on 11 March 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Since my Mum moved into Appleby Lodge her health and quality of life have improved. I have been impressed with the standard of care and the friendly and helpful staff. The food is of a high standard and the home is always clean and welcoming. The layout of the home is pleasant, with most of the bedrooms looking out into the garden. The day rooms are suitable for residents to make friends with one another. ( Mum has found this very helpful). There is also plenty of space for visitors.
Mum enjoys the varied social activities which happen most afternoons, this helps her to keep her mind active.
As a regular visitor to the home, I have found that there is always a pleasant warm atmosphere.

Finally, I would recommend the home without any reservation. I never have to worry about Mum because I know she is cared for by caring and well-qualified staff.

Review from Jennifer B (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 March 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Father has been a resident for a couple of years now and throughout that time he has been well cared for. Despite a number of relatively minor illnesses he has continued to thrive in a caring and also relaxed atmosphere. There are many activities he can choose from. The food is plentiful and appetising. Not only is this excellent for him but also for us as we feel confident they have his best interests at heart and will ensure he is safe and well.

Overall Experience
Visited a friend today Wed 27/09/17 at 11am.
We were made to feel most unwelcome by a staff member. We were obviously interrupting her work.
We may not visit again.

Very sad.
↩Reply from Nan Palmer, Director at Appleby Lodge
I have spoken to the member of staff in question and am sorry that they made you feel unwelcome. I understand that the visitors requested that the resident move from where she was sitting to another area of the lounge which she refused to do. It may be that this was misinterpreted that the member...
