Mum moved here when her Alzheimer’s reached a stage where she could not be safely cared for at home.

Mum moved here when her Alzheimer’s reached a stage where she could not be safely cared for at home. She needed to walk and wander constantly as part of her dementia, but was also anxious and needed a gentle understanding approach. The staff (all of them) helped her and us at a very difficult time. They were caring and welcoming to all our family including the dog. Her room was kept tidy and clean and meals were adjusted to encourage her to eat as independently as possible. We could also access their garden whenever we wanted with her. We highly recommend them and can’t thank them enough.
Very kind and caring staff, always ready to talk to you when you visit. My father has been out on activities outside the home which he has enjoyed.

My mother moved into Bemerton Lodge recently. When our family visited to look at the home for her the staff could not have been more welcoming. They spent as much time as we needed with us so that we could genuinely get a feel for the home. They were all warm and friendly.
It is clear to us that our mother is happy in the home. The staff create an atmosphere of a lovely home. There is no sense that they are just providing a service. No, they have built genuine relationships with our mother. They have found out how to make and keep her happy. I know that she is in good hands.
Thank you to all the staff who contribute to making Bemerton Lodge such a warm, caring and genuine home.
From the moment my Mother entered Bemerton Lodge she was treated with love and kindness by all staff from the manager, carers and cleaners. Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to help her settle. Mum has several difficulties relating to her condition of Alzheimer's, and these are all...
There is a range of activities carried out on a regular basis including tea/cheese and wine parties, visiting singers, visiting animals, hands-on making cakes, to name a few.
A care home is not measured by the building, but by the dedication of the staff who carry out some difficult tasks.
I would have no hesitation recommending this care home. Thank you all for your care and consideration.
All the staff are very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble. Gardens are great to sit out in and lots of activities put on.

I came to visit my friend in June when it was the National Care Home Open Day, I was delighted to be able to join in the fun at the home. Everyone got involved from the domestic team to the home manager and there was easily 100 people visiting at the time. We had great fun talking to the fire...
I visit very often and am always impressed by the high standards of care. My friend has lived there since April and is very happy to be there.
The staff were one hundred percent and a special mention to one of the carers.
I would highly recommend.

My gran has just moved into the carehome following a long stay in the hospital, the care staff that showed my family around were clearly so kind and caring and it was obvious to everyone how well cared for and loved the residents were. The manager is an absolute gem, she came and assessed my gran and was able to reassure her at all steps of the process. On the day of the move itself they allocated a specified carer to spend time with my gran and help settle her in, she's been in the home since the beginning of March and is so much happier already.
Lovely, kind staff. Feel loved, good food and a happy place to be.

I visit 3 times a week to see my mother who has lived at the home for 3 years. I cannot express enough how happy I am with the care. Everyone from management, auxiliary and care have always been friendly, compassionate and caring towards her, she always tells me how kind everyone is and how much...
Having seen various care homes it is not often that this level of dedication and commitment is witnessed.
As my mother's needs changed the home has always kept me informed of any changes.
Recently I visited when they were taking part in a sensory deprivation challenge, this was just another level of dedication from the management and whole team.
As a family, we all know what great care they give.
I am writing to thank you at Bemerton Lodge for the wonderful care provided to my Mother. I was so happy when my mother was placed in your home, as a Community Mental Health Team Nurse I was always so impressed by the ethos held by both the manager and her deputy. They lead a strong team that truly...
The times when she was confused, distressed, angry and wanting to leave, she always remarked that the staff were lovely and the food was good.
The staff were so supportive at all times and reassured me with care/ support. I was in the room with her staying 24 hours a day the week prior to her passing, various staff visited and brighten my day. I could hear their caring approaches towards residents, I became aware of how hard they work. I would like to add that every one of the staff were always pleasant and helpful. Thank you so much.

I find this service to be top notch, the workers act with integrity and kindness to the highest level. The love and affection they show my mother, despite her ageing years and increased confusion is nothing short of a blessing.
I spent many hours looking at old people's homes and although not as posh and modern as some, this home far outranked them due to the kindness and consideration that is shown by those employed. The residents, my mother included, always seem happy and well kept.
I enjoyed a lovely trip to the seaside. The staff were lovely. I enjoyed the fish and chip supper. I like my time at this place as we have a giggle. They understand me and treat me as an equal. I think it is a lovely place to be and I would recommend this highly of course.

Granny had lived with us for 15 years. She is going to be 100 in March 2017. Bemerton Lodge is a wonderful homely place. The care is second to none. The amount of encouragement, activities and care is unbelievable. The families of the residents are welcomed in as part of the family. They are always friendly and are never too busy to discuss any worries you may have. Rooms and cleanliness a credit to them. They all go beyond their call of duty.
My relative has been here for a number of years. As a family we have always found the staff to be extremely caring and compassionate. The manager and her deputy are approachable and extremely thoughtful and caring, an ethics the care team resonate. The home is rather old and I was pleased to hear...
My relative has Dementia and at times can be quite challenging, however this is handled in a professional and understanding manner.
The carer team are a group of outstanding individuals and as a family we are extremely grateful for all they do. The food is simple but taste lovely, it's not fancy but as our relative had gained weight it is obviously nutritious.
