Coastal Lodge

I have nothing but praise for the level of care given to my dad during his final weeks at Coastal Lodge. The staff were lovely and they were very kind to him, which he appreciated greatly. My interactions with the deputy manager and his team were appreciated and I was kept fully informed of any and all developments. The dedication shown by the staff was exemplary and I cannot thank them enough.

My mother spent several, much needed weeks, of respite in Coastal Lodge after breaking her arm badly. All the staff there were very kind and looked after her very well. She went in with very little confidence after her fall but gradually gained more strength and self confidence with the care and physiotherapy they provided for her. The food was good and the rooms were warm and clean. Many thanks, from mum and her family, to you all.

The site is very quiet so unless the person in the next room is deaf and turns the TV up loud you will get a good night's sleep. The staff are lovely, kind caring & professional although some of the agency staff need more training? Food is bland and boring, breakfast is cereal and toast. Lunch is the only cooked meal, potatoes are hard and food tasteless. The evening is a cup a soup and sandwiches, usually ham, cheese or egg mayo made with egg white - no yolk? Food choice gets boring quickly. Desserts are usually nice, fruit or cake with custard. There is no medical attention. If you have an issue you are told to phone your own Doctor. Personal hygiene is a struggle. There is a small sink in the room but otherwise, you have to use the shower room. Great if you are able-bodied but if not you will need help from the staff who are usually too busy. You are told ask later, ask tomorrow or ask someone else, or we have run out of time.

So thank you again.

Everybody at Coastal Lodge is easily approachable. The service they give is first-class. A+.

Our mother spent 6 weeks here and the input from the Occupational therapy team and physiotherapy was the best I have come across, with daily therapy and excellent communication regarding her treatment goals and discharge planning. The premises are very clean and well maintained with good levels of security. Access and parking were very accessible, which was essential to us when bringing our father to visit mum. A massive thank you to all the team who made our mother's stay comfortable.

The Fearnes held a summer fare on Sat 18th July. It was a nice way to chat to other family members and to think we are all one big family. We are all going through the same thing together as a carer, family member etc. and the care of the patient is of upmost importance. The Fearnes offers a high level of care and compassion.
