My mother is a resident at Doddington Lodge and I'm so pleased that she is living there. Like other residents she has dementia and the staff bring an air of calmness, patience and efficiency in their work with the residents. There are good relationships between the staff and me, they keep me informed of any problems (and successes!).
I tried looking after my mother at her own home but the progressive deterioration of her condition was too great, I have no complaints only compliments for my mother to be at Doddington. It was the right decision, best for all involved.

Mum went into Doddington Lodge at the end of November 2021 and has settled in well. She likes all the staff and says they are looking after her well. They organised a 100-th birthday party in December which went really well, and the chef had made a beautiful cake for her. A good time was had by all! As mum is registered blind she is, unfortunately, unable to enjoy the wonderful view from her room and can't take part in all the activities that are available, but as she puts it, it's a good place to end up! I would thoroughly recommend them.

Mum was transferred to Doddington Lodge after a stay in the hospital, where she contracted Covid-19 and was put in isolation for ten days. Not good for a 94-year-old with dementia! She had deteriorated considerably both physically and mentally. Mum has now resided there for five weeks and the difference in her is quite remarkable. She is so well looked after that she has regained her appetite, put on weight and is generally very happy and settled. All the residents are treated with great love, patience and good humour, nothing is too much trouble for the staff. A variety of interesting daily activities is organised for the residents, ranging from baking, art and craft to making cocktails, mocktails and terrariums. Doddington Lodge is a small and personal care home. It is clean, bright and airy and the decor is modern and tasteful. The outside environment is equally well-kept and inviting, with a sensory garden and even a pond with ducklings. I would recommend them unreservedly.

The daily activities keep Mum busy ranging from cookery to gardening, painting to crafting and everything in between. Birthdays are celebrated with elaborate cakes and the residents are made to feel extra special on their day.
The facilities are excellent, Mum has a light, airy and spotlessly clean bedroom with an en-
suite shower room.

This feels like a home from home. It has top quality furnishings, a dining room which feels more like being in a bistro or restaurant and a large spacious, comfortable sitting room. Again, more like a hotel than anything else. Whilst I was visiting, the family of other residents visited and it resulted in a warm and welcoming atmosphere which all were able to enjoy.
Above everything else, though is my admiration for the staff and the way they are looking after the people in their care. They are attentive, kind and do their utmost to put things in place which will give the residents the best possible experience. Nothing is too much trouble- and as a relative, it is the open and honest communication which they all found time to give me which counts for so much. A really super place.
