South Africa Lodge

The nursing care is second to none and the emotional care constant, recently we were asked if anything else could make things better for mum, even though this involved providing a room with a wet room as mum is in a wheelchair this was organised quickly and efficiently taking on all emotional health and well-being. I can't praise them enough.

My Dad recently passed away whilst in South Africa Lodge. Although Dad was only in the Lodge for a month or so, I can only describe the conditions, facilities, care and attention provided to Dad, and support for us as a family, as being above and beyond anything that we expected.

From the outset we were told to treat the premises as our home, whilst we were there, in terms of making tea etc.

On the final day we were provided with food for all family members present and my mother was provided with a bedroom for the final night.

South Africa Lodge was the only Nursing Home that was offering to take Dad with the level of care he required but I am so glad he spent his last days in such a wonderful environment. We will never forget how in the last 36 hours, when death was imminent, the staff still religiously changed Dad and his bedding every few hours. Its amazing how such memories stick at sad times.

It would be unfair to single out any individual member of staff as all provided the highest possible standards of attention, care, support and friendliness.

We cannot praise South Africa Lodge enough and are reassured knowing that Dads last days were spent in such a wonderful environment
