Over all time Groby Lodge has 37 reviews.
I like living here. Staff are helpful and friendly. My room is nice, but wish it was bigger. I have my own bathroom/toilet. Food and drink is very good, I have big portions and I love the puddings. I have been here a year in September. Staff take me out. I love it. Staff cut my hair how I want it.
Hi, thank you for your review. We are pleased you like living at Groby Lodge.
This is by far the most amazing care home. It is evident that all the carers are very dedicated and kind. I am so happy my grandad is here, everyone is lovely and welcoming every time I visit. Thank you for everything you do, it means a lot.
Thank you from all the team at Groby Lodge for your lovely feedback. We take pride in providing good quality care to all our family at Groby Lodge and will continue to do this for your loved one.
Since the new owners have taken over the care has massively improved. From the cleanliness, decor and care given. I know Mum is in very good hands with the care provided, thank you to the manager and the team.
Thank you for your review. We love looking after your mum; she is part of our family at Groby Lodge.
Staff are welcoming and helpful to visitors. Senior managers are available up until early evening. All service users utilise the lounge and dining room during the day and early evenings. Comfort blankets are provided. Tea and juice are provided on regular bases as well as snacks. Very "homely" feel to the building, freshly decorated, comfortable and clean.
Thank you for your review. It's a pleasure looking after your loved one.
I am so pleased that how the new owners have completely 100% made this care home better. I can't thank the staff and the manager, enough. No more sleepless nights for me or my dad. I am absolutely elated to see my dad so happy and contented. Dementia is so cruel and heartbreaking and to have trust with people that are taking care of your loved ones, is everything. Kindness, compassion and understanding and from the bottom of my heart I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for your lovely review. We will always do our very best for your dad. It is a pleasure caring for him.
I sometimes visit my great-grandma in the home and the carers and quality of care seem amazing. I wouldn't choose a different home for her.
Thank you for your positive review. It is a pleasure looking after your Great- Grandma.
The staff at Groby Lodge have been amazing. They have really got to know my Mum over the last two weeks and genuinely have her best interests at heart. The person-centred care they provide for all their service users is so lovely to see, and Mum, despite really not wanting to go to a care home, has settled in so well and really seems to enjoy being there. I am so grateful to the staff for looking after Mum so well and being so kind, compassionate and caring to service users and visitors alike.
Thank you for your lovely review; it is a pleasure looking after your mum.
The new owners are excellent and have invested in upgrading the home in terms of the environment and technology. The residents are very happy and I could not ask for anything better for my dad.
Thank you for your lovely review, it is a pleasure looking after your dad.
The staff at Groby Lodge really try hard to help all the residents. They were really helpful and considerate to my mother while she was there over the three-year period. The food was good and all the staff were caring and attentive.
Thank you for your review, it was a pleasure caring for your mum.
This home was only taken over on April 1st 2022. On my first visit, it looked very uncared for. We were given assurance that this would be upgraded. So far, everything we were told from bedrooms, kitchens, floors etc have been upgraded to a good standard. I am delighted with all the carers and staff. My mother is happy, as are all residents in this home. I cannot praise this home enough.
Thank you for your review, this is very much appreciated and we will continue to improve the facilities.
When my wife was taken into care following an epileptic seizure, the staff and management have been wonderful, helping her in every way.
Thank you for your review, it is pleasure looking after your loved one.
The home has improved so much since the new owners took over. The care the residents receive is now amazing, all residents seem a lot happier. The building is looking so much better now. The new owners have invested a lot of time and money into getting the place back up to a good standard! I'm so impressed by the improvement and it shows in the residents' smiles
Thank you for your lovely review, we will continue to invest in our home and the staff team to ensure we provide the very best of care to your loved ones.
We found the carers absolutely brilliant. So kind and couldn't do enough for my friend's family and us. The manager was one of the best we ever met, kept us well informed. There are not enough words to express how good the carers were to us all.
I genuinely can't thank the home manager and staff enough for the care they provided for my auntie. From the day my auntie became a resident, the relief that she was safe and had continuous care was instant as the staff filled me with trust as they were caring, compassionate and most of all, my auntie was happy and settled with them. Thank you all for caring for my auntie.
When my aunt went into the home they were very caring and welcomed all the family when we visited. Also, they looked after her very well and attended to all her needs. It gave us peace of mind as she was unsafe on her own.
My relative has been here for over 2 years. The staff treat him like they would a member of their own family. At times when my relative is unwell, the staff are quick to notice this and act accordingly. Any feedback about improvements that can be made are always listened to by staff and they work with us to make his care the best that it can be. It is reassuring for us to know that he is so well loved and cared for when we are not there.e The ratio of staff to residents is excellent.
All of the carers here at Groby Lodge are exceptional at their jobs, without fail they give their all to each resident living here. Before my grandma came here the idea of her going to a care home devastated me, however since Grandma has been living here I've seen such an improvement. She is happy, safe and healthy. This is due to the fact the girls here care for her as if she's their own family. The residents here are treated as individuals and are always given that important 1 to 1 contact. They are all lovely ladies who work here and I believe the home is as nice as it is because of them.
