Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home

The day was very special, it gives the people the chance to be involved and enjoy the day together. My grandad enjoyed his time with his family. The food and entertainment was great.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Corrina Lodge to anyone.

Exceptional care and a lovely event.

My husband has been at Corrina Lodge Care Home for sixteen months. He requires nursing care and has always been treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The care is professional and consistent, with all aspects of medical requirements constantly monitored and updated. One of the comforting aspects is that care staff turnover is minimal, which is very important for the wellbeing of the patients. This home is a caring, efficient unit with management encouraging that standards are maintained.

I've not been here very long but I can honestly say I have been treated with respect by all the staff, for which I say a massive thank you for allowing myself to be able to keep my dignity. If there are new ladies and gentlemen coming here then they will truly love it here.

I have nothing but gratitude and kind words to describe my feelings covering how the marvellous management and staff cared for my mother in the year or so that she was a resident. If it was possible to give a rating of 11 out of 10, I would.

On arrival, greeted warmingly and invited to have a refreshment. My mother was comfortable sitting in her chair. All staff were friendly, kind and polite. The staff were attentive and communicative. Her room is comfortable with a door opening out into a garden. Food was varied and nutritious. Mum has been in Corrina Lodge for about 2 years. Since then I have made friends with several staff members. They all work very hard and do what they can to make my mother comfortable. The only downside is Mum's room is a little smelly, the carpet is due to be changed soon.

I am very impressed with Corrina Lodge Care Home. You get a very warm welcome when you enter the home and there is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are very cosy and have everything to make life comfortable. I visit a dear family friend who is very content and happy. The staff are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Entertainment is very good and varied to suit everyone. My friend tells me the meals are excellent and she enjoys her meals. I've visited many local care homes and Corrins Lodge is the best by far.

When I first visited Corrina Lodge I was very warmly welcomed and shown where I could access coffee and cake. Having seen my stepmother, I also saw the lunch arrangements. Today, I was lucky enough to witness first-hand the afternoon activities involving music and quizzes. The organiser was bright and bubbly and involved all the residents, who obviously adored her. It was joyous seeing the resident's reactions and obvious appreciation. Although my stepmother did not engage at the end, the lady stoked her hand kindly. What a delight to see and of the care being offered.

My daughter has been a resident of Barchester Corrina Lodge for ten years. As a family, we feel lucky that we found this home. Choosing a care home for a loved one is very daunting but we soon realised that Corrina is a family of staff who cares about their residents. They are treated with respect, dignity and humour. Many of the staff who greeted us then are still working at Corrina now which tells its own story. All the staff are friendly and approachable, they cheer me up, I can't fault them. Always there to help and assist, my daughter is well cared for and above all, she is happy. Should I need to speak to our manager, his door is always open.

I believe the manager at Corrina Lodge Care Home is a good caring man who leads by example, this shines through to the staff at Corrona Lodge. Although things aren't always perfect, I feel the staff do the very best they can with the resources they have available. Most importantly I do feel my mum is cared for with compassion.

My family and I were extremely happy with the team looking after our mum, from the day she arrived on 04/02/2022 until the day she died. They were kind and thoughtful with her from beginning to end. Everyone from cleaners, carers, nurses and management couldn't have been better.

A big thank you to the amazing staff at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home. You have all provided such excellent care for my mum while she was a resident. Both my brother and myself are eternally grateful. I was always greeted with a welcoming smile and such lovely kindness from the reception staff, nursing and catering staff. You are what makes this place special. When my lovely mum passed away, the kindness and dignity provided was outstanding. Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Very friendly, kind and caring home. Great nursing, great management and activities team.

Our mum has been a resident at Corrina Lodge for over a year. The staff have been wonderful, caring, kind and considerate. The manager has a fabulous team. We are grateful to them all for caring for our mum.

Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home gave my mum the most wonderful love and care in the last few months of her life. That care and thoughtfulness was also extended to us. Whenever we walked through the door we were greeted with smiles and warmth from every member of staff. I last visited my mum the day before she passed away. I had taken some red roses although I don't think she was aware at that point. Mum passed in the early hours of the next day. When my brother went to visit that afternoon to pay his respects Mum's body was peacefully laid out on her bed surrounded by the red roses and the funeral director said when they went to collect her she had a rose in her hand for the journey. A memory I will always have.

Activities staff are first class - Dad is very limited, and they always include him. Very caring staff, but management needs to train new staff in Daf's learning device - understanding impact of his stoke etc. Always doesn't happen when new staff come in.

My granny is 96 and is bedridden now. The care she has received since she has been there is outstanding. The staff are amazing and can't do enough for her. We are so pleased we chose Corrina Lodge for her to spend her resting days.

The only thing I can say is fantastic.

The staff at Corrina Lodge really do go the extra mile, I visit every day and have consistently witnessed members of staff show genuine compassion and professionalism towards residents. I have found the reception welcoming and covid protocols upheld, which is reassuring. The carers and housekeeping are constantly milling around and will offer additional assistance should you require it. The nurses will always find the time to answer any questions I have. The manager is committed and knowledgeable, and I have seen him come in even on his day off. The chef is very considerate and makes every effort to cater for mums particular needs, and I appreciate this. My mum is happy at Corrina Lodge, and I have peace of mind knowing she is in a safe and well-managed environment. Thank you so much.
