Our son moved to this care home after living 30 years previously in an excellent care home. We were apprehensive on how he would settle. The staff were excellent and the management was very efficient with the administration. He has settled really well and seems very happy. He is nonverbal, so is unable to say how he feels. He is involved in lots of activities which he enjoys. We are happy with his new placement.

My son has been at Talbot Woods Lodge since March 1997 and has had excellent care and still does. When the virus lockdown happened the owners and staff made sure that the residents were safe. At last, access has returned and I can see my son weekly.

I am happy living at Talbot Woods Lodge. I often say "no" to going out but would benefit from being given an option of one venue or another venue, so I don't have the chance to say "no". It would be good for me to have more choices in daycare rather than relying on games/puzzles etc that mum has...
