My sister seems happily settled at Pulsford Lodge and is being well cared for. Her room is comfortable with lovely view over garden and towards hills and pastures. The staff arrange a variety of activities which she enjoys and help keep her active mentally and physically.

February was a difficult month for Mum, staff were extra vigilant at my request. They managed this with utmost discretion and I could not have asked for more support, care and understanding. They are a great time. It is such a relief to know that she is in expert, compassionate hands. Thank you.

I regularly visit my daughter-in-laws father. I feel very welcomed by the staff and I am always offered a tea/coffee or biscuits. I feel very relaxed with the ambience and Pulsford Lodge - bright, cheerful, homely and clean. Little touches, accessories in the lounge/dining area made it homely....
The menu looks varied and healthy - I would love to try it! The over-riding feel is one of care, love and dignity as shown by the staff for those living there.

My mother has been a resident of Pulsford Lodge for the last 18 months, during which time the level of care and support she has received has been excellent and she has, very importantly, always been treated with dignity. Her room is of a good standard and kept clean. The food is well presented with...
In summary, an all-round excellent care home, which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone without reservation.

My father went to Pulsford Lodge in March 2023. The level of care was fantastic, he was looked after so well by all the staff, the kitchen staff, the activities ladies, the nurses and the carers, sometimes they all went above and beyond his needs. The food was amazing and would always get him an alternative if didn't want what was on the menu (although he ate most things) At the end of his life all the staff were so kind, providing us with tea and food if we wanted it. I would highly recommend Pulsford Lodge.

Our mum was becoming more and more incapable of living at home due to dementia and for us as a family, it was a great relief when she was admitted to Pulsford Lodge in August 2023. The staff are caring and capable and always welcoming when we visit. Mum is well looked after and supported. The activities are interesting and stimulating and the food looks good. Overall and excellent home-from-home!
Pulsford Lodge offers an amazing care service. We participated in seasonal activities (salt dough decorations) as well as being surrounded by Christmas decorations and festive cheer being December. It was fantastic to see everyone involved and included.

I have been so pleased with how well she has settled in. I think this is mostly down to the staff at Pulsford. I can't fault it in any way. They are all so friendly and welcoming when I visit. It is always so clean. The food always looks good. It has a homely feel about it. All the residents seem just as happy as Mum, and I enjoy my visit.

I have nothing but praise for the staff. My sister-in-law requires an enormous amount of patience which is extremely difficult when they are short-staffed. In my experience, those that deal with her are always kind, understanding and thoughtful. Her room felt rather small during COVID, but she...
I have nothing but praise for the staff. My sister-in-law requires an enormous amount of patience which is extremely difficult when they are short-staffed. In my experience, those that deal with her are always kind, understanding and thoughtful. Her room felt rather small during COVID, but she seems to feel secure.
Staff are welcoming and polite. Care home gives a warm pleasant atmosphere.

I have enjoyed my time here, but I do feel more carers are needed at times. The people (residents) and staff are friendly, and I feel I've known them all my life. All the staff are helpful.

I am very priviliged to work in the home of our residents at Pulsford Lodge. I firmly believe that I work in their home, they don’t live in my workplace. I always tell them that I am here to keep the lights on and make sure everything runs as it should, but ultimately this is their home and we work to their rules. They have a say in everything – from personalising their rooms to choosing the activities they would like to take part in. Pulsford Lodge is very much a home, not a hotel, and we want our residents to feel at home here, and their loved ones to feel safe in the knowledge that they are being well cared for.
I started out in care when I completed work experience in an elderly care setting when I was just 15. It was at that point that I realised how valuable and rewarding it is to care for our older generations, and how much you can learn from the stories and life experience of care home residents. It absolutely makes my day to have a conversation with one of our residents – we both get so much from it. I love knowing that if I have made just one person smile, I have changed the course of their day for the better, and that is what I am here to do.
My overriding passion is around dementia care, and changing attitudes about those who live with dementia. Dementia is not something to be ashamed of, and at Pulsford Lodge I have seen first hand how our residents who live with dementia are so full of life and capable of achieving so much. My role is to support our residents to live the life they choose, support their loved ones in understanding and effectively communicating with them, and to get people talking about what living with dementia really means.
