Review from Christine A (Sister of Resident) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have been very pleased with the services that Crest Lodge has provided to my brother.
He arrived in a very ill, unsettled state. He was undernourished and severely underweight.
Since his stay, he has been a different person - happier, more contented and feels very secure
in his vicinity. The staff have been very caring and helpful towards him, looking after his
welfare extremely professionally.
From my experience of visiting my brother, I find him to be well-fed, washed and cared
for. His room is clean, and so are his clothes.

I would not hesitate to recommend Crest Lodge.

I was called to say that my cousin had Covid and was currently being isolated. She had been unwell the previous day but was now recovering and feeling better. The staff were informed and professional in the approach and the way they informed. I felt that they were looking after my cousin's welfare professionally.

Review from Martin C (Brother of Resident) published on 2 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

During our visits, the staff have been friendly and helpful. The staff have informed us of any issues via telephone calls and emails. They are also extremely cooperative in dealing with outside agencies. The doctors and nurses associated with Crest Lodge are professional, and courteous and ensure my brother's medical conditions are well managed. I would recommend Crest Lodge to anyone looking for a nursing home.

Reply from Krasimira Petrova, Home Manager at Crest Lodge

Thank you so much for your feedback. Thank you also for including the recommendation for us in your review. We are glad we could look after your brother and make your time with us enjoyable and satisfying.

Review from C N (Brother of Resident) published on 19 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My brother has been in care at Crest Lodge for several years. He is cared for very well, is safe and feels genuinely loved by the staff. The manager and entire team of staff at Crest Lodge work very hard and are compassionate. They demonstrate a high standard of professionalism, devotion and kindness to residents, and to family members. Liaison with the medical GP/services is prompt, which is also very reassuring. I/we are immensely grateful to the team at Crest Lodge.

Reply from Krasimira Petrova, Home Manager at Crest Lodge

Thank you so much for sharing such a glowing review of our service. We are very glad to hear that our team's professionalism, quality, and responsiveness continue to meet your brother's needs and also your expectation. Our goal is always to exceed them for all of our residents and family.

Review from Teresa L (Sister of Resident) published on 5 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Due to COVID and health, sadly we have not been able to see our relative since 2020. The staff have been good over the phone. We were delighted to see her looking so well and conversing and singing with us. Her appearance was good, her health much improved. Walking through the corridors to her room everywhere looked and smelt fresh and clean.

There were no complaints from my relative concerning food etc. The Sunday staff were helpful friendly and polite.

Reply from Krasimira Petrova, Home Manager at Crest Lodge

Thank you for the lovely words, Teresa! We are so happy your visit to Crest Lodge went so smoothly and you are so happy about your sister. We will continue to provide high-quality care to create happiness daily.

The second function my mother, myself and daughter have attended. A wonderful array of food and drink, all delicious, nothing was too much trouble for the staff looking after this area.
My brother is very happy in the home, he is so well looked after. The wonderful staff are great always caring and interacting with the residents.

A great Christmas party today, the singing and music was enjoyed by all. Five stars for Crest Lodge.

Review from J M (Niece of Resident) published on 9 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My aunt has been a resident for twenty years due to long-term health issues. She has always been happy at Crest Lodge Care Home and staff know her well. My aunt has always been treated as an individual and is part of the family there.
Recently her health deteriorated and she was virtually unresponsive, we thought she was approaching her final days. However, excellent, full care has resulted in a massive improvement and she was able to recognise us on our last visit and even played a verbal game briefly!

We are her closest family and although two hours away, we would never move our aunt from her home.

Review from Amelia W (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has been at Crest Lodge Care Home for over a year. She has incredibly complex care needs and the team at Crest Lodge have worked really hard to get her settled and provide quality care, which in mum's case is a thankless task. They've been patient and kind and kept me and my sister updated with her situation. We feel very lucky to know Mum is being looked after. The whole team work really hard and we feel very grateful for them all.

Review from K D (Resident / Service User) published on 22 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I think considering I have had many difficulties over the years since I have been here from August 2012 and in the last 2 years, I have improved enough that I am now looking at options to live independently. This would not have been likely if it wasn't for the permanent staff/agency staff who have been here long term and knew me at my worst/extreme behaviour issues.

I have not enough words to describe how much thanks and gratitude I should give to them because they deserve a far lot more than that. Which leads me to make one more point - they do not get paid enough! They don't thank or appreciated from people in the care home or higher up the system like a head office and others. I was not told to say this it's how I see and feel about it.

Overall Experience

Crest Lodge is an exceptional care home. The staff are compassionate and supportive to both residents and their families. Crest Lodge staff do their utmost best to keep their residents safe and have an enjoyable day. They have helped my brother in many ways as he has complex needs. They identify his needs and call for support/ambulance very early on, which I am certain has saved his life. I would like to thank the staff that work here and definitely recommend it.

I am always made very welcome at Crest Lodge and treated with great courtesy. I am impressed by the kindness and perseverance of staff in treating my sister, whose behaviour can be challenging. Not only do they take careful measures to ensure her safety but creatively try to improve her quality of life and show her warmth and affection. They do a wonderful job looking after her.

Overall Experience

My visit to the home last week to see my brother. I was very happy to see how well my brother is being looked after. He has been in Chest Lodge for a long time, my visit before August 2018 was a little while ago, due to my husband's ill health. I was not always happy with some of the look of the home, but I must say I was very impressed this time. The home smelt lovely and looked very clean. The staff were very kind, helpful and made me and my husband welcome with trays of tea and cake, as it was someone's birthday. Well done to all at Chest Lodge.
