Sadly dad passed away in the home at the end of February but the care he received and the dignity with which he was treated was outstanding. We were able to spend his last days and nights with him as a family and what a comfort that was.
Your appreciation will be passed on to the entire team at Sherwood Lodge.

Mum spent a brief time at the end of her life at Sherwood Lodge and her care was excellent. Mum was included and supported in settling in. Professional, caring and felt like family, not just for mum but for us too. The care, respect and dignity afforded to us all during mums last days will stay with me forever. I can't recommend this home enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words. As a home we are so pleased that your Mum, as well as yourselves as a family felt supported. We pride ourselves on our family feel and we are so glad that you all felt that within our home. Thank you.

Rooms very basic but some do have ensuite toilet but feel money needs invested to modernise and upgrade facilities. Think a TV and small fridge could be included for respite care.
Thank you for your review , we are really pleased to hear you was happy with the care we provided for your Uncle. I will pass on your feedback to the team and we hope to see you again in the future.

We feel reassured knowing he is in such good hands and are very grateful to the whole team at Sherwood Lodge.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy that you feel our team has made a difference in making the transition in to our care home an reassuring one, for yourselves and Dad.
My stay at Sherwood Lodge was very good and I enjoyed it. I will come again. The only thing I was disappointed with was the quality of the food. For example, steak and apple pies had no pastry, the apple in big chunks. The courgette soup was bland. The fish and chips were good.

Thank you for your kind words and review. As a home we love seeing Dad return regularly for his little holiday as he calls it.
Staff are friendly and brilliant with some very challenging residents. They are all very patient in any circumstances. Food good and plentiful, welcoming to visitors.

All the staff were wonderful with my husband who was reluctant to go into care whilst I had a break being his only carer for the last four years. We visited for lunch after he had returned home and staff asked him how he was and enquired about his cat which made him happy and helps me if I have a break in the future.
Thank you, Patricia, for your wonderful review and kind words. We are so pleased that your husband enjoyed his stay with us and that you both came back for a visit and your complimentary ploughman's lunch together. We hope to see you both again soon and give our love to Charlie the cat. Kind regards, Tracy.

I would recommend Sherwood Lodge in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words which I will pass on to all the teams. Your feedback is very important to us and we thank you for taking the time to review our home and the care Mum receives. We are thrilled you and Mum are so happy now.
Excellent care for my mum. She has dementia and Alzheimer’s but is well looked after and cared for. Staff are always happy and show genuine concern and love for the residents. Always plenty of activities taking place to help stimulate the residents.

After suffering a stroke my Aunty needed 24/7 care in Barchester Sherwood Lodge Care Home. Staff work very hard to make sure that she is treated as an individual maintaining her own set of care needs. Everyone involved in her care is dedicated to enhancing her life as part of the Sherwood family. Due to her stroke our relationship has changed due to her lack of communication skills, There is however a welcoming and listening ear if needed. Staff always answer any queries I have no matter how small which is very reassuring. My aunty and I are encouraged and helped to enjoy activities together. Music with a singer which we both love. Also respecting us when we need time alone together. I've found all of the team support invaluable as it all helps from the professionalism of staff and lovely food. I always look forwards to the cakes and coffee in the cafe area. Also the cleanliness of the home. We can now enjoy and get the most out of our time together. Thank you everyone at Sherwood.

I have visited a friend who is a resident at Sherwood Lodge Care Home on several occasions. She is very happy with her care and accommodation. I am also very impressed with the building, her room and the members of staff I have met during my visits. The dining room and the menus displayed look excellent. I have also visited several other care homes (not part of the Barchester group) and do consider Sherwood Lodge to be far superior. I would be happy to be a resident there if and when the time comes.

I was really worried about my mum moving into Sherwood Lodge Care Home as she suffers from dementia and doesn't like change. She suffers from Aphasia too after a stroke in 2011. She had been residing in a care home for ten years when I was advised it was closing. I was naturally concerned about how...
I can honestly say the manager and staff at Sherwood Lodge Care Home have been brilliant. The kindness and support both myself and my mum have been shown is humbling, to say the least. Her room is clean, homely and comfortable, and my mum is settling in well and clearly cared for which is priceless. I have peace of mind knowing my mum is in the right hands. It's like she's part of a family, the Sherwood family, and I've not felt that before. There are activities daily too which I hope mum will be able to participate in some way.

Hi, my name is Tracy, and I am the General Manager here at Sherwood Lodge.
I have worked in care since 2000. I started working nights as a Carer, then I had a ten-year break to raise my family. I then went back to work in a home that provided EMI care, before moving on to complete my NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care to become a Senior Carer. I started at Sherwood Lodge in October 2018 in the role of Head of Care. I was later promoted to Deputy Manager, and then recently I was appointed as the General Manager for Sherwood Lodge. I am enjoying every aspect of my new role.

I am the Head of Maintenance here at Sherwood Lodge and also at Sherwood Court.

Knowing that you make a difference to people's day provides a real sense of achievement.

I started at Sherwood Lodge in November 2022 as a Care Assistant. I previously worked as an Account Manager and decided I needed a change. Deciding to move over to start working in care was the best decision I have made. I was promoted to Senior Carer in April 2023, and am proud to care for our residents to help them enjoy each day.

I really enjoy my role, as I get to spend quality time with the residents and their families each and every day. My role includes serving breakfast and lunch, to offering refreshments throughout the day and making sure everyone always has a cup of tea and a biscuit to hand. I'm the first port of call for making sure everybody always feels at home.

My name is Maria, and I have been the Activities Coordinator in Sherwood Lodge since June 2025. I moved from Ireland to Scotland to qualify as a Speech and Language Therapist before moving to Preston to follow my career. I spent over 18 months working as an SLT on the stroke wards in Preston and Chorley Hospitals, where I found that chatting to people, planning meaningful activities for each person and organising group activities was the highlight of my job!
I am delighted that these aspects are now the key part of my role here at Sherwood Lodge, and I also get to incorporate so many of my personal interests, such as crafting, music, travelling and crocheting, into my work! I am proud of the rapport I have built with the residents here and the positive energy I bring to the home.
