My mother moved into Sundial Lodge before Christmas on a temporary basis as she wasn’t very well, and she liked it so much that she stayed and is now a permanent resident. She is incredibly well looked after, and every thought has been given to her health and well-being. It is a beautiful old building and has been adapted to manage this accordingly. There are stairlifts and appropriate equipment put in place to make sure that all eventualities are covered to keep all the residents safe. I can honestly say that I feel totally reassured that she is well cared for and all her needs are met. The staff are extremely efficient and so very kind. They also have various entertainment throughout the week for the residents to enjoy and keep them stimulated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sundial Lodge to anyone.
Sundial Lodge has provided a loving home for both of my grandparents. The huge transition from them moving from their own home to Sundial went so smoothly, and the staff could not have been more accommodating! My nan even said it was like walking into a hotel, and she thoroughly enjoyed having meals prepared and laundry done after struggling with these tasks for many years. After sadly losing my nan last year, Sundial has been a huge support to my grandad, and this has been much appreciated by our family. Sundial's staff offer care, companionship, support and love, everything you could possibly want for your loved ones.
Thank you, Kerrie, for a wonderful review, and a pleasure to have your grandad living with us.
My grandmother is proud to call Sundial Lodge her home. She has been here for five months now and is truly happy! The food is lovely, the building is beautiful, and the care is quality. Highly recommended.
Thank you. This is a fantastic review, greatly appreciated.
I feel this home is absolutely the best. My mom does too. She has her own lovely living room, with a separate, small kitchen, separate bedroom and an ensuite shower room. Mom is very happy and comfortable and well looked after. Everyone at the home seems friendly and helpful. The big living room for everyone is inviting and has great views over the spacious grounds in the front. Plenty of entertainment held in this room and the other residents are very nice and friendly. Plenty of tea and biscuits and freshly cooked food each day. My mom is a fussy eater, but she loves the food. I highly recommend Sundial Lodge. Makes me happy and makes my Mom very happy. She feels safe.
Thank you, Gail, for such positive feedback, we greatly appreciate it.
A home which is comfortable and clean, more than sufficient food, well maintained, helpful staff. Pleasant gardens.
I visited my aunt over a 3 day period. She was very happy. The staff were welcoming. I had lunch with her in her room. This was a good meal. The management were most helpful and happy to spend time with me discussing my aunt's wellbeing. I was shown a different room more suited to her needs which she has since moved into. Brilliant!
Thank you so much for assisting mum during a difficult period. Lovely staff and great setting.
Overall Sundial Lodge provided a high-quality service/environment with friendly, accessible and caring staff. The only significant criticism is that several items of my father's clothing went missing/astray during laundry and were never recovered. This happened, too, with items of crockery and glassware, with that caveat I would still recommend Sundial Lodge especially for getting the balance of care/support and resident independence just right.
Sundial Lodge puts the "care" and "home" into residential care home. The care and attention lavished on the beautiful building and grounds is evident when you arrive. The apartments are regularly upgraded to provide a true home rather than a small, overcrowded room. When a resident arrives they are greeted with flowers and goodies in their apartment. But, however nice the surroundings, it is the personal care that is the most important. Our mum received the best of care during her stay at Sundial Lodge from everyone; the owner, manager and all of the competent, kind and helpful staff. And we had peace of mind knowing that she was safe and well looked after. Thank you Sundial.
Sundial was my Mothers home for over 7 years. The independent living apartments are perfect. The food is of a very high standard. The homes and the grounds are beautiful and very well kept. Every single member of staff is caring, professional and friendly.
The manager and team are the best and will always listen and help. I would not want any family or friends staying anywhere else.
