My father was admitted to Wessex Lodge on October 22’ until Oct 23’. The nursing home facilities met the needs of my father who had his own en suite room that had a homely feel which made him settle in quickly. The home also has its own lounge, garden and dining area enabling him to socialise with other residents and they had regular events for the residents. The nurses and carers were on hand 24/7 and showed a lot of love and care for my father as well as all the other residents. I would highly recommend this nursing home.
Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review. We’re grateful to have been given the privilege to care for him. His bright and fun personality brought a little ray of sunshine to our day and we thoroughly enjoyed caring for him. We’re sorry for your loss, he will be missed by many.
My wife has received excellent service since she entered the home. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The food is very good. The room is very good and visiting is easy.

From the day my Father arrived at the home, he has had excellent service. The staff are so kind and caring. He needed to visit a local hospital for a procedure. Door to door this took three hours. This made our experience all the better. Dad has now refused hospital treatment just prior to needing this. We as a family love everything about this home.
Wessex Lodge staff are all amazing and caring, exceeded all expectations. Nothing was too much bother, they all went above and beyond to ensure my mother-in-law's last few days were made as comfortable and dignified as possible, caring not only for her but us as a family too. I cannot thank them...

Nothing was too much bother, they all went above and beyond to ensure my mother-in-law's last few days were made as comfortable and dignified as possible, caring not only for her but us as a family too. I cannot thank them all enough.
From the very first enquiry to the last day of my mum's respite stay at Wessex Lodge, the home promoted a very warm, friendly and relaxed environment. Every member of staff not only made my mum feel important they took the time to talk and listen to her. They were very patient and showed compassion...
The home is run by an excellent and approachable registered manager who was very helpful with much needed advice on mums return home. I cannot thank all the staff enough for the time mum spent with them.
When we were told we had to move our Mum from residential to nursing care we were worried about choosing the right home. We went to view Wessex Lodge and it had a warm friendly atmosphere. The staff were happy and chatty and we felt very welcome. We had not needed to worry as she was cared for...
During Mum's last few days she had most of her family around her, 4 generations! We were offered drinks and food as necessary and nothing was too much trouble. Wessex Lodge staff were supportive to us as well as our Mum from day one helping to move her into and then emptying Mum's room. We were particularly very touched with their approach to the latter.
We would highly recommend Wessex Lodge and its staff.

Nothing was too much trouble and their approach made a very private man, who had been terrified of ending up in a home, feel at ease, relaxed and "at home".
They extended the same care to my wife after her father's passing.
Lovely, caring staff. Really looked after my nan, making us all feel so welcome at each visit. The way her room was left after her death was so sweet and thoughtful. I will really miss you all, thank you for making nans last year one to remember.

I have enjoyed my time at Wessex Lodge immensely. The staff, in particular, are very helpful, almost always at hand at the end of a bell. In a way, I'm sorry to be leaving but I need to go home before I forget what it looks like. If it is every necessary I wouldn't hesitate to come back for a bit of pampering. Many thanks to everyone, not least the tea person who arrives twice a day.

Wessex Lodge was recommended by many in the community for placement. Having been married for 59 years, the arrangement was a very difficult decision to make. All I can say is Wessex Lodge meets all requirements in the transition.
A very high standard of care. All the staff were excellent and cared for dad very well. Dad received personal care right until the end. We would definitely recommend this care home to anyone.

For six months, my mother was a resident of this home. Throughout her time there, she was treated with compassion and a level of care that I considered to be outstanding. The staff at the home, from most senior to most junior, really took the trouble to get to know her and in her last weeks of...

There is a good program of activities with visits from entertainers to encourage movement and singing.
The lounge is comfortable and homely and decorated with many of the crafts the residents have created.
