Review from Martin G (Son of Resident) published on 28 February 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was admitted to Autumn Lodge in August 2021. She is 84, and after a fall had lost virtually all her ability to walk. In those circumstances, it was impossible for her to be looked after at home. The admission to Autumn Lodge went well, and for a few days, Mum and her family members were happy with the placement. Then there appeared to be a bizarre and illogical change of attitude by certain senior staff members. They seemed to decide that Mum could actually walk after all, if she would just try harder. These staff told me they were 'encouraging' Mum, but this encouragement included comments like 'You're not helping yourself', 'You're not trying hard enough' and 'You did it this morning, so you can do it again now.' This left Mum extremely distressed. Other staff would treat her with far more compassion, and give her the help she needed. This whole experience negated the otherwise good aspects of the care provided by Autumn Lodge, and the family moved her to another care home.

Review from M J (Aunt of Resident) published on 15 December 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This home is family run and you can tell. The family/management are always on hand to assist, especially the manager and care manager. Staff are warm, friendly and always reassuring. My aunt was always happy and always felt safe. As a family, this was most reassuring.

Review from Ron (Son of Resident) published on 17 February 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Father spent two years at Autumn Lodge residential care home. It soon became his home and the staff his friends. It was a comfort to know he was so well looked after and happy there. It is family run and they together with their dogs provide a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere where there is always a respect for people's dignity. The staff are the greatest asset, at all times they are friendly and warm. I would like to convey my greatest thanks to them and would highly recommend this care home.
