My dad has been with Radway Lodge for a couple of months as respite due to poor mobility, however it looks like he will be staying long term. Radway Lodge is very nice and light and the rooms are good. The staff are always friendly and smiling. Also very helpful when in need of a wheelchair to take my dad for a spin down in the town. Activities are held and if you want to join in you can, if not then you don't have to. It would be great to have china cups/mugs, rather than the bulky plastic cups for those residents that can manage.mmOverall, the home meets the needs of my dad. Of course, dad would rather be in his own home, however his mobility issues just don't allow it, so I am pleased to have found Radway Lodge, as it is the next best thing to look after my dad and care for his needs.
Firstly thank you so much for your kind words. We are so pleased that we can provide the next best option for your dad and that you are happy with the service we provide. Thank you for your feedback in terms of china cups/mugs, that is absolutely something I can look into and resolve!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience for my grandmother at Radway Lodge. Luke and the whole team worked tirelessly to accommodate her, ensuring her transition and stay were as seamless as possible. Every member of staff was consistently friendly, warm, and deeply attentive to her daily needs. Most importantly, she felt safe, valued, and thoroughly comfortable throughout her time there. It brought our family immense peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands at Radway Lodge

Mum has been with Radway Lodge for several years due to a nasty fall affecting her mobility. She took awhile to settle but seems very happy with things. The food is reasonable and they do cut it up for her as she has trouble doing this. The dishes and cutlery could be better for people with limited movement there are special plates etc. for disabled people to help them feed themselves and although I have mentioned this I see no evidence of a change in plates or cutlery. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and it is nice to be able to see the same faces. I have noticed that items of bedding and towels I have provide do not seem to be used even though I have marked them. However they have provided a very nice adjustable chair for her. Overall Mum seems happy and well cared for and she seems content.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and providing us with your valued feedback. We're very pleased to hear that your mum is happy, settled, and well cared for, and that you find our staff consistently friendly and supportive. It's also lovely to know that the adjustable chair has been helpful for her comfort.
We appreciate you raising the points about dining equipment. Thank you for highlighting this, we would be more than happy to discuss it with you in person the next time you are visiting Radway. Regarding the bedding and towels you have provided, we understand your concern. We do wash residents' bedding frequently to maintain comfort, hygiene, and dignity, which means personal items are not always in use at the exact moment of a visit. However, your mum's belongings should still be clearly identified and used as part of her regular rotation, so we will check our laundry and room-stocking processes to make sure this is happening consistently.
There are few things more stressful than a situation when a parent can no longer live independently. My Mum didn't want to leave her home but instinctively knew that Radway was right. We shouldn't have stressed. My Mum couldn't be happier. And we have no doubt it is the best place she could...

I am truly grateful to all the staff and management for working so hard to provide such a warm and welcoming home.

Mum has been a resident at Radway for some time now due to her lack of mobility. The staff there are very understanding and do all they can to make her life that bit more bearable. She is always having a bit of fun with them, and although we have the occasional, age related grumble, is very happy there. She also loves the food, which always looks and smells amazing, which she tells me it is ! I am always offered refreshments while I am there, which is also reflective of the kindness and caring of the staff there. Would be happy to recommend this care home to anyone needing a facility like this.
Mum has been at Radway almost two years now - she took a few weeks to settle in (her choice, but hard to give up independence), but she is now completely established! She refers to it as her home and says she is fed very well, the food is always amazing. The staff are friendly and caring, showing...

From the minute you walk through the door, you feel good vibes. Happy staff, clean home, I was offered a cup of tea or coffee as I entered. It is a small home, close to the town. Previously I have seen the staff taking their guests around the gardens in Sidmouth...so not in home environment all the time. I did not get my tea or coffee as the lady had to deal with a service user, who rightly came first.
