Nene Lodge Retirement Home

My Mother-in-Law has been living at Nene Lodge for the last 4 years, since coming out of hospital after a bad fall and a long stay in hospital. Since she has been in Nene Lodge, she has been well looked after and the staff are amazing. She is going to be 95 this year and has been doing really well. She says the food is good and the staff are kind to her. If you are looking for a residential home I would recommend Nene Lodge.

The short time my sister was in Nene Lodge the staff were excellent with care. The room was nice and pleasant.

During my mum's time at the home, I found the staff to be very caring and helpful. The rooms were well maintained and my mum felt comfortable in each of the rooms she lived in. The activities were stimulating and my mum had a new lease of life and felt purposeful again. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Nene Lodge.

Our mother lived at Nene Lodge for 2.5 years, and our father for a short time last year. They both felt very safe there. The family were really relieved that Nene Lodge would be able to look after our mother when she needed palliative care in her last few months.

We have found all the staff to have great empathy, friendliness and compassion when caring for my parents.

The rooms, with ensuites, were of a good size, always clean with great care taken of the furnishings.

The food was good and there was a varied menu.

The owner and Manager always made time to listen to our concerns regarding our parent’s health issues. They are both very hands-on, not just a name on the letterhead.

My brothers and I would highly recommend Nene Lodge to anyone on the journey to find a home for their parent(s).

My mother had spent a couple of weeks’ respite care in Nene Lodge and had said that if she needed to go into a care home in the future then she would be happy to go there. A year later she did go to Nene Lodge and spent 10 months there in total. She had her own room (with en-suite loo and washbasin) which was quite spacious and able to bring in some of her own furniture and possessions. There were plenty of activities available even though my mother was not always motivated to join in. None the less, the care that she received was excellent in all respects and I thank the owner, manager and all the staff for the respectful and caring way that my mother was treated.

Overall, a very nice and friendly environment. I cannot thank the staff and management enough for their help and advice through a very difficult time.

The management and staff are outstanding for their professionalism and passion which means they go that extra mile as a norm. I think Nene Lodge is outstanding because it is staffed by people for whom caring is an innate part of their psychology and this trait is fostered by a perceptive and robust management team who ensure that all in this community are valued.
