Whenever we visit nothing is ever too much trouble and we are always made most welcome. Always a happy atmosphere even when a resident is having an obvious 'bad day'. Their patience seems to know no bounds, whatever is thrown at the staff, always calm and helpful. Everywhere is very clean and well presented and there is never any smell. Fabulous!!

A super home, friendly, good food, well run, easy to be in, any niggles are promptly resolved and attended to, good communication with staff and local doctors. My mother enjoys it very much is very well cared for, a great relief and a refuge. The food has improved even more than before. It has been consistently like this from when we arrived and felt cosy and genuinely caring from the beginning. It takes considerable stress away whilst I get on with everything else needed.

Very pleased with Buxton Lodge and the care they gave to my Aunt during her 5-week respite. She stayed following an emergency respite required to help her get back to health and I was impressed with their care and concern for my Aunt and all their residents. My Aunt felt very well looked after, happy and secure in the environment they provided.
My Mum could not be in a better place. The staff are friendly and caring. The food is excellent. I can rest safe in the knowledge that my lovely Mum is safe and is being well looked after by people who care.

We visited for the summer family day, and it was fantastic. What a lovely day it was. Lots of stalls for children, a tombola and a BBQ. We had a lovely visit and my father in law looked very well care for.

We attended the fete and most of the residents were outside. There was musical entertainment from 40's, 50's, 60's which was great for the residents, especially for those with dementia. Staff went round with sun cream making sure everyone was okay. It was a lovely afternoon.

My mother and Aunt have both been in Buxton Lodge. I honestly think they make an great effort for people here. The staff are like family, kind and caring. The décor is pleasing and very clean. Food is good and the best thing is my Aunts room looks over the lovely garden. All in all 10 out of 10.
