Staff are caring and look after my mam better than I could. She is very happy and has put on weight since coming here which is great as she wouldn't eat.

I feel I have made the best choice of care home in Newton Aycliffe area. The staff are very helpful and caring towards the patients as well as the relatives and any questions that I was unsure of the admin staff helped in every way.

Whilst on a visit to see my mother-in-law two of the domestic staff made a snowman for my mother-in-law just outside her window. She thought it was lovely and it made her smile. It was a really nice thing to do and shows how caring and kind they both are.

When I go away, I no longer have to worry about mam, as I know she's in safe hands. In fact, this home has saved mam's life, she has come on so much with the love and care provided by all the staff.

Nothing is a trouble to any of the staff and I feel my wife is in very good hands.

On my visits I found this home Rose Lodge to have a warm and friendly feel. The staff and residents seem so relaxed in a homely atmosphere. I find it important that the residents who are more able, are, and should be provided with simple but various interesting versatilities and a little more exercise so they enjoy each day - more outings too.

Thank you for your comments. We are very glad that you enjoy your visits to our home. We too believe it is important to incorporate regular exercise and outings as part of our Activities programme. We hold exercise classes with a visiting personal trainer every 2 weeks and our residents are invited to attend an outing to a local monthly lunch club as well as clubs at the neighbouring PCP centre. Recently we have also been attending Spennymoor Leisure Centre’s Dementia-friendly swimming sessions which take place every month. Over the colder winter months our residents tend to prefer more indoor activities but as the warmer weather approaches, we will be arranging more outings and walks. If you’d like more information on the activities programme or have any suggestions then please feel free to speak to me or one of our Activities Coordinators.

We had made some informal enquiries with a view to taking mother to look around, however, events overtook us.
We were impressed by the level of personal contact from our enquiry and the fact that we were told just to pop in and no need for an appointment to look around.
Upon admission my mother (and us) were made very welcome, nothing was rushed and her room had been beautifully prepared with fresh flowers, chocolates and a welcome card.
The staff were professional and reassuring.
My husband had a short stay in Rose Lodge January 11th until 14th Jan to enable me to have respite, he was made very welcome and even though he was a bit of a trial the staff managed him very well, 10/10. I wouldn't be afraid to leave him again.

The care my mother-in-law has received so far has been excellent. The home is very comfortable and the food is very good and the staff are very caring and thoughtful towards her.

Staff are very kind and caring. Mam was given excellent personalised care tailored to her specific needs. It was such a relief for myself and my brother to know that Mam had settled well and was so well cared for. Like home from home.

My mother was very unwell when she first went to Rose Lodge but over the last two months with the love and great care that all staff have given her she is now almost back to her old self. Rose Lodge has a very warm caring almost family like feeling as soon as you walk through the doors. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone as I leave each time after visiting. I am happy in the knowledge my mother is in very good hands.
