Eagle Lodge Care Home provides care to 35 older people, some with dementia, who can no longer live independently. All staff play a central role in creating a positive culture where residents’ rights are promoted, ensuring they are active participants in care decisions. Families also work with staff to ensure care is best tailored to the needs of their loved ones.

Daily, residents can take part in meaningful activities with the purpose of enhancing quality of life and maintaining physical and mental well-being. Activities are designed to be creative and to stimulate thinking or memory, such as music, art, flower-arranging, chair exercise and walking. Other tasks support everyday living – folding washing and setting tables. Residents can also participate in organised activities from watching films to singing or enjoying shopping trips.

The care offered engages the whole person and addresses their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. They encourage residents and families to make choices which enhance and enrich their life, to participate in activities which bring them fulfilment and to share socially which eases possible isolation. Staff work hard to ensure residents feel safe and at home at Eagle Lodge and to enjoy the best quality of life.

Review from David H (Son of Resident) published on 13 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Eagle Lodge Care Home has proved to be a God send for my Dad. They have been a resident for over 3 years and from the moment they took up residency they have experienced nothing but top rate care and kindness. In the second half of 2025 the home went through a process of change and transition as it
moved from one owner to another. During that time, and all the way through to the present, the attention, focus and priority was on the residents and their welfare. The staff work tirelessly to ensure there is a friendly atmosphere as well as to give the residents, with their wide variety of needs, dignity, time and respect.


As you can imagine this not only benefits the residents, it also benefits the family and friends who support from outside the home. Our own experience has been that the care demonstrated in the home inspire confidence and trust for my Mum and others who aren't able to visit regularly. Eagle Lodge is a wonderful place where we have found a high standards to be the norm.

I am delighted with Eagle Lodge and I know my mother is too. She was accepted by Eagle Lodge following the closure of a home where she had also been very happy. We have both been delighted with every aspect of the care at Eagle Lodge including the home itself, its setting and location. When I leave
my mother at the end of a day's outing I can see she is happy to back safe at what she has come to regard as a home in every sense. I am eternally grateful to the staff and management. Thank you

My Mum has been part of Eagle Lodge for almost two years we needed a dementia place and this care home has been a god send. They cater for everyone's individual needs and they do activities on a daily basis which my Mum likes to take part in if she feels up to it. They also bring in different singers
quiz masters and also therapy animals too.All the staff from domestic to carers to management are all very friendly

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother moved to Eagle Lodge In December 2025. Since that time the communication between myself and the Care / Home Manager on matters relating to my mother's care has been excellent with emails being answered promptly and comprehensively. Leadership is visible and supportive.


The environment which

residents experience is extremely pleasant and the staff are caring, friendly and approachable. There is an activities coordinator who is friendly and enthusiastic who strives to keep activities varied, despite the challenges of varying levels of capability.


The premises are kept clean and pleasant and the cleaning staff are polite and friendly to both my mother and us as a family. The dining room facilities are pleasant and extremely clean with menus on display to view.


I would recommend Eagle Lodge to anyone with a loved one who needs to be kept safe and sound.

Reply from Lucy Duffin, Chief Operations Officer at Eagle LodgeThank you for the lovely review, we will make sure your kind words are passed on to the team.

The care home has a fantastic staff, who are dedicated and go above to provide a caring service to the clients. The relationships built with the staff are second to none. The building itself shows attention to detail with the additional extras the staff provide. The staff also keep good communication
with the family. I really appreciate the effort put in.
Reply from Mari Clark, Home Manager at Eagle LodgeThank you for your kind words. We do our best to care for each of our residents in the way that they deserve with love, kindness and respect.

My uncle moved into Eagle Lodge care home back in January and we were unsure what to expect. But we are very happy with the care he receives and they are always doing lots of activities and days out. All the staff get on with him and he has a good banter with them.

Review from Alistair M (Brother of Resident) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was a resident in Eagle Lodge for 5 years until her recent death aged 87.
She spent her later years suffering from dementia, however, the care and attention she received at Eagle Lodge was absolutely superb and helped her to cope with her illness.
The many activities the residents enjoyed
on a daily basis are a testament to how well this home is run with a particular focus on music, hairdressing, and simple activities to keep the residents mentally active.
The first thing I noticed the first time I visited was the absence of any unpleasant smells, my sister's room was always warm and comfortable and well ventilated and spotlessly clean.
Keep up the good work and well done all of you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lived at Eagle Lodge for nearly two and a half years until she sadly passed away on Easter day. She had dementia and other health issues. I live nearby and visited her almost daily during her time there and was able to see the day-to-day treatment of residents and the overall performance of
the care home in a detailed way.
I cannot overstate how grateful we are to the team at Eagle Lodge for their wonderful care. The uplifting, Salvation Army spiritual emphasis, wonderful care and food combined with a busy and cheerful programme of activities; outings and importantly singing made Mum's stay at Eagle Lodge a pleasure.

My Mum has been a resident in Eagle Lodge for 8 years and the care that she receives is second to none. All staff are approachable and go out of their way to ensure the well being of all residents. When Mum went in we did not expect her to live for long due to conditions that she had but due to the
excellent care she has received she is now approaching her 92nd birthday. As a family, we are also kept informed and we feel 'quite at home' when we visit. Cannot rate high enough.

My dad was anxious when moving to Eagle Lodge. They helped him settle in and now he loves his new home. He does get frustrated now and then but that's age-related. They go out of their way to please him and he has developed a great relationship with the staff. He recently went to the theatre and cinema
and couldn't wait to share his experience with me. My dad is happy so that makes me very happy.

Review from E J M (Regular Volunteer) published on 12 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a volunteer, I go along when I can to help with a card making activity. The residents love this and the cards are then sold in the care home to raise funds to provide treats for the residents. We can have a wee sing song while making cards and one lady, who never came down from her room just loves
card making and is an excellent vendor of the cards at the bi-annual fairs held at the care home. It is heartwarming to see how caring and dedicated all staff are and all are welcomed whether visiting briefly or not! If I ever need to go into care, this would be my number 1 choice!

Eagle Lodge is a wonderful place, staffed by caring, empathetic people. When you enter the building it feels like home. Mum has been there for over 2 years and has been very well cared for. I have been made very welcome as a family member. If you are looking for somewhere for an elderly family member,
do consider Eagle Lodge but don't take my word for it, arrange a visit and see for yourself!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For the two and a half years until her death aged 99, Eagle Lodge provided exemplary care for my mother. She was well looked after, fed well, enjoyed many activities and outings and, above all, was very happy despite her strong misgivings about going into a care home in the first place. The staff, without
exception, were empathetic, very competent and friendly and kept closely in touch with our family. In fact, they became a second family for my mother. Their end-of-life care after my mother suffered an irrecoverable stroke could not have been better or more dedicated.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.320)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.320) out of 10 for Eagle Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.670 for Eagle Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.67
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eagle Lodge is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
