My mum has been at the Lodge for 5 months now and has settled in really well. All the staff are very nice and friendly and treat my mum with care and I feel very happy knowing she is safe. She has her hair done by the hairdresser on site which she loves. All the food is cooked fresh daily and when we visit there is always a cup of tea on offer and a biscuit. Mum takes part in the activities that are available which she enjoys. I have received lovely home made cards and a bracelet. The managers are very approachable and happy to chat if you have any questions.

We as a family can not thank the lodge enough for all the care that they provide for my mum, and for the support they also give to our family. Everyone from the team from the top down have been very supportive. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone.

Do not send your loved ones to this home especially if they have dementia related issues. The staff are unable to look after them correctly but that is probably due to poor management. The home is tired. They are not fed nutritious foods only sandwiches or cheese and potato pie! Nice and cheap for the greedy owners. Shame on you. It's time the CQC cracked down on these poorly ran homes. More inspections are required to make sure our loved ones are looked after in the Winter of their lives.
If you could provide further details about your concerns, we would be grateful for the opportunity to investigate and take appropriate action. Regular inspections and internal reviews are part of our commitment to maintaining the best possible care for our residents.

After a very challenging 18 months of caring for our wonderful mum as her dementia got worse and her health deteriorated we managed to secure a place at The Lodge for her. We were made to feel very welcome from the minute we set foot in the door. I find it a very comfortable place with just the right amount of residents to make it feel like an extended family. It has been lovely getting to know the other residents and their families. Mum has a beautiful room overlooking the gardens, with her own private bathroom, but chooses to spend the majority of her time downstairs in the living room with her friends who support each other on a daily basis. Mum has settled really well and joins in all the activities on offer, she especially enjoys getting her hair done every week. The families are encouraged to be involved with daily life and it feels a very inclusive space. Thank you to all the amazing hard working team for making a tough decision easy to cope with.
Kind and caring staff which I appreciate hugely. The home is efficiently managed and communication is clear and helpful. The family can call in to visit whenever we like and I can also bring my mother to visit us at our home.

Experience of the care and understanding, looking after my friend, could not be anything but excellent.

My mother has been at the lodge now for 2 months, we have seen a remarkable change in her mental well-being and has regained that sparkle in her eye. The staff are attentive to her needs and pamper her like she has never been pampered before mum always smiles and is very chatty with us and her newfound friends. The lodge is more like a family home welcoming and warm and my mum is so happy there and we are happy in the knowledge she is well cared for.
We appreciate the care the staff give to our parents.

May they keep up the good work.
It is relatively informal which in my mum's and my case is a strength.

Then before I left it was dinner time...
I was ringing them for days when we got home about the missing hearing aid and they said they hadn't found it, but as soon as I said I was going to claim on their insurance it was found, its incompetence.
My mum has been at The Lodge and I have to say that the care she receives is excellent. The staff appear kind, attentive and helpful. The residents are kept occupied and the care home hosts events for all the family to attend. Thank you for everything as I know mum is in safe hands.

My aunt has been a resident for over five years, and during this time, there have been no occasions where my aunt has been treated with anything other than care. She is very happy, well looked after and content.
