Ivy Lodge

I am very happy with the care my mother receives. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My mother is happy there. There are activities every week and the residents are taken out on trips to gardens, garden centres, theatre trips. The home has a homely feel and relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent care home. Only 33 residents, very cosy and staff and management do a great job.

I would like to express my appreciation and give my whole hearted approval of the care my father receives at Ivy Lodge. He first became a resident there in June 2015 after becoming quite frail and after much soul searching from my sister, brother and myself we reluctantly agreed to our father going in a home! How pleased and relieved we are now when we chose Ivy Lodge. The care and attention dad receives is second to none and nothing is too much trouble from the wonderful, caring team of carers there. Cleanliness is a priority and the home is immaculate. The choice of food that dad has is wonderfully prepared and varied, he has put 2 stone in weight on while being there. A sign of his contentment we feel. Entertainment and trips on the mini bus are also a welcome addition to enhancing dad's time at Ivy Lodge. Stately homes, National rail museum and theatre trips are regularly on the itinerary. I have no hesitation in recommending Ivy Lodge for the care of your loved ones.

Ivy Lodge is an excellent residential home. It provides a safe and secure home for the elderly and the staff cannot be praised highly enough for their care, patience and empathy. The home is beautifully decorated and has an extremely high standard of cleanliness. There has been an increase in the activities provided for the residents which gives them something to look forward to and keeps their minds active. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.
