Appleton Lodge Care Home

Appleton Lodge Care Home has changed my mother's life for the better - the change in her is immense compared to living on her own and mother is now as bright as a button. The home is clean, tidy and good food. The staff are all friendly and mum loves the banter with the staff. The difference in her amazing/1 a care home is the last place mother wanted to be, she's a very proud lady but she loves it here! Fantastic!

Appleton Lodge was very different. Bright, welcoming, music playing, residents active and aware. Staff committed to providing a good service to all - residents, visitors and each other.

I live some distance away and so cannot visit as much as I would like, but when I do I arrive unannounced. I always find the home clean, tidy, smelling pleasant. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. But most importantly my mother is always well presented with clean clothes, hair combed and comfortable. I always leave confident that my mother is in good hands and well cared for. All the residents seem very contented. I am happy that my mum is in such a good home.

Please give the staff a big thank you from all of us.

My mother has been living at Appleton Lodge for two years. During this time her needs have changed but have been fully met by the management and staff without any problems. My mother and our family are very pleased with her care and feel fortunate that she is in such a safe and caring environment. The staff are wonderful with my mother, their medical and personal care for her are excellent, they treat her with respect but are cheerful, friendly and we feel like part of a big family. The facilities at the home are modern and clean. The atmosphere they have created is very welcoming and inclusive; this applies to all residents, family and friends who come to visit.

Staff are good, they have a lot to do.

I always find my visits to Mum such a pleasure with the staff so polite and helpful.

An excellent care home, friendly, happy. Just one big happy family.

I could not be looked after in any other care home.

Everything excellent.

Grandma is very happy here, the meals are always filling her up and she always has seconds. The room is very comfy and she feels at home. She is able to go outside and feed the birds which gives her independence.

All the staff at Appleton Lodge have made my father's transition into the home go smoothly. Their attention to his needs have been met with great care and compassion. I can't thank the staff enough for all their efforts. Thank you.

Excellent. Came to see my friend the entertainment was on. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

From day one all staff have been helpful. They take care of not only the resident but their family too. You are not excluded from anything and are actively encouraged to contribute to their welfare and care. Good onsite care from third parties i.e. chiropody, hairdressers, GP etc. I would be happy to be a resident here should the need ever arise.

Since moving to Appleton Lodge Care Home our mum's quality of life has improved immensely. In the previous home, she was left in her room all day.I and my sister visited every day to make sure that she at least got to walk around as she was becoming extremely depressed. Appleton's manager and staff provide fantastic care and support and she now has made friends in the home and is so much happier. We cannot thank you enough for providing such a lovely place for her to be. Your cleaners keep the place absolutely spotless.

My aunt has been cared for with kindness and compassion. I have no hesitation in recommending Appleton Lodge Care Home.

I am extremely happy with the care my mum receives at Appleton Lodge Care Home. Importantly, my mum is very happy, contented and feels safe. The staff are very approachable and most of them have been there for many years and know all the residents very well. Appleton Lodge Care Home is just the right size with 30 residents 15 on each floor which gives the care home a real homely feel to it. There is a lovely garden for residents to sit in on sunny days.

I visit the home several times a week. I am delighted with the care provided. The home has a lovely friendly atmosphere. All staff work extremely hard and go the extra mile. Thank you so much for all you do for my mum.

My mum has been at Appleton Lodge for six years and I feel it is now the best it has ever been. The staff are thoughtful and caring and the management efficient and approachable and I have peace of mind knowing that mum is happy and safe.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been given a place for my father in Appleton Lodge Care Home. The manager and her team are young, optimistic and enthusiastic. They smile and are pleasant and upbeat at all times, even on what must be difficult days. Without exception, all the staff are kind and caring to my Dad who can sometimes be grumpy and difficult. Dementia has badly affected appetite and all the carers try to coax him to eat - sometimes bribing him with two puddings if he won't eat much main course. I feel he is in a safe and caring environment with lovely people - what's not to like about that?
