Danmor Lodge Ltd

Thank you so much again xxx

My cousin has been a resident here for 2 years and the care cannot be faulted. She has a very comfortable, clean en-suite room and communal areas are also kept to this high standard. Home cooked food and a daily menu choice are impressive. All staff are friendly, caring and aware of individual requirements for their residents. Communication from admin staff is regular and comprehensive, regarding the residents health issues and activities available and these staff are readily available for face to face inquiries for information when required. Highly recommended.

My mother passed away recently. Her care during her time at Danmor lodge was good, the staff are friendly, they understood and met her care needs, she had advanced dementia. We, as a family where always kept up to date via a monthly Email and on the many visits we made to see mum the staff where always friendly and happy to help with any questions or concerns we had. The establishment is clean and, mum was always well kept, we did not need to make appointment times to visit her, a flexible visiting procedure is operated.

Although the home is tired the staff really seem to care about the residents and do try to make them happy, staff sing to residents, give them a little touch, talk to them at eye level without being condescending. Staff talk about the residents family to them and their interests. The food is tasty a choice is always given, when eating is difficult ways are conceived to give nourishment that the resident likes the taste of.

We looked at many homes in Weymouth before settling on Danmor for level of care and empathy it's the best.

I was very pleased with the care my father received while he was a resident for a year. The staff treated him very kindly and always knew when he was ill and sought medical advice promptly. He was always clean and well turned out. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a relative

My wife suffered from Alzheimer's and was a resident at Danmoor Lodge for over 7 years. During that time, as she slowly deteriorated, she always received excellent professional service, as well as what can only be described as loving care. She died in August 2024 and in the last week or two when the end was near the home could not have been more helpful. My family and I could visit at any time. On the day before my wife died my daughter stayed with her all night, and if at any time no family was around, staff would sit with her, although she was not aware of what was happening. When she died everyone continued to be supportive, respectful and happy to give me support. I cannot speak too highly of this home whose high-quality standard of care I have experienced for so many years.

Based on 4 individual family experiences, the setting is comfortable with remote and physical access to specialist GP-led and external virtual support ensuring medical advice, diagnosis and treatment is quickly accessed. Comfortable surroundings and interaction with other residents and carers are encouraged, 'a home from home' rather than a 'ward-type' setting. Activities are provided, within the confines of resident choice and physical/mental abilities. Music is high on the agenda. I felt the setting provides value for money too. End-of-life care is exceptional, easing the burden on family, and providing 'open access' to loved ones, without escalation to a Hospital unless necessary. Staff turnover is 'low' and long-standing staff are very approachable, well-intentioned and know the residents well, facilitating individual requests and tastes where possible. Management and communications are friendly, frequent and efficient. Can thoroughly recommend Danmor based on our own family experiences.

After losing my dad to a care home in Cornwall, mum requested I move her to a care home in Weymouth. After reading reviews and talking to friends Danmor Lodge fitted the care needs of my mum as she had very little mobility from Strokes. Mum was treated with respect by the team and very well looked after in every aspect of her daily life, she always looked clean and smart, and she absolutely loved the home-cooked food which helped immensely with her diabetes. I was well informed by the home of every aspect of mum's care. Mum really enjoyed her time at the home they made her feel part of a large family. Sadly mum passed away in January of this year she had been unwell but the Home had ensured she was seen both by Doctors and District nurses. The End of Life Care my mum received from the Team at Danmor was excellent, everything was done with care and dignity, they were supportive and compassionate to me during those difficult times for which I will be forever grateful.

The night staff contacted me when they thought the end was coming as they knew I wanted to be with him. When the end came they allowed me time to say my goodbyes and supported me in my grief. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff, not just the care workers but everyone who works there. Thank you everyone.

The staff are friendly and show a great personal interest in my father's interests and issues. They show great patience with my father's lack of communication abilities, due to dementia.

I really cannot say thank you enough!

We cannot praise the staff enough for all that they did for our aunt while she was at Danmor Lodge.

My Mum was a resident at Danmor Lodge from 30/7/21 until her death on 6/4/22. She was suffering with vascular dementia and mobility problems. I have nothing but praise for all the staff. She was very well looked after by everyone who came into contact with her. My Mum started to deteriorate last November and by March she was bedridden and was unable to do anything for herself. The staff were very caring towards her until her passing on 6th April. My sister and I were always kept informed by the home regarding her care. We are both extremely grateful/appreciative to everyone at Danmor Lodge.

I can highly recommend Danmor Lodge.

I will always be so thankful that we secured a place at Danmor Lodge all those years ago and I would not hesitate to recommend this exceptional care home.

My lovely friend, who I cared for, was in Danmor Lodge for just over three weeks before she passed away. The home was chosen for me due to Coronavirus and the shortage of places in Care Homes. I cannot speak highly enough - because of Covid, I didn't go inside, but I was kept up to date with everything going on. Very approachable, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Danmor Lodge to anyone.

I cannot praise the staff of Danmor Lodge highly enough; they were all friendly, hard-working, and caring. The living areas were comfortable and there were always plenty of activities organised. Residents’ rooms were always kept extremely clean and tidy and the menu was varied, with plenty of choice.

My overall experience of Danmor was a totally positive one, and I was very impressed.

There is good communication between the home and relatives as I received monthly emails regarding my fathers care.

Hands-on management head up a professional and friendly team acting with genuine warmth, dedication and kindness ensuring Mum is safe and receiving exemplary care from the new family we are lucky to join during her twilight years.
