Carlisle Lodge

My mum was moved from hospital to Carlisle Lodge. It was the best decision, she wasn't eating in hospital since being a Carlisle Lodge she has put on weight and is much happier. The staff are lovely they treat her with respect go out of there way to give her everything she needs. They talk to her, jokes really take there time to understand her needs. The management and owner go out of there way to provide the best care, food nothing is to much trouble.

My mother recently spent some five months in Carlisle Lodge and received professional care from Day One. Nothing was too much trouble for the caring staff who were always happy to help or lend an ear. Due to my mother's condition, she was confined to bed for most of the time she was there and was unable to take part in any activities. Staff were always happy to provide refreshments to visitors. Would recommend to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

As a family we feel so relaxed knowing that she is receiving such good care.

Although only been a resident for one month the nursing home is a friendly place & staff also giving excellent care of family member. Nothing is to much trouble for management & staff to residents & visitors & keep you up to date regarding your family member. If anyone is having to consider a nursing home then I can recommend without hesitation.

My mother's needs have changed over the years but the attention she has received is always personal and very caring. I wouldn't have her anywhere but Carlisle Lodge.

A huge Thankyou.

I would thoroughly recommend Carlisle Lodge.

It is a beautiful home with a lovely ambiance.

My mum has been here for nine years now, and I have nothing but praise for Carlisle Lodge. Not only have the staff become my mums family, but they have become mine too.

Mum came to Carlisle Lodge straight from hospital as she could not go home. From assessment to today, I am exceptionally pleased with the care my mum has received. The staff treat mum with dignity & respect and all her needs are met and more.

Since Mum arrived I cannot speak highly enough of the home and the staff all of mum's needs are met the staff are very attentive and I couldn't have asked for a better place for her to be.

My Nan has been in the hands of Carlisle Lodge now for over 2 years since developing dementia. The care and attentiveness for her from all the staff has been second to none. Nothing is ever too much, from making her comfortable sitting up in her chair or ensuring she can be in the communal living room to be involved in activities. Visits are always positive from all staff making you feel welcome offering chairs to sit down or refreshments, tea & coffee. Carlisle Lodge is an amazing care home that goes the extra mile to ensure the residents are looked after and then some. We couldn't have chose a better care home for my grandmother.

My father has been in residence for around 3 months. Prior to this, he stayed at another care home. When I used to leave Dad at his previous care home, I felt anxious about leaving him. At Carlisle Lodge, I leave him knowing that he is very safe and cared for 24 hours a day. I thoroughly recommend them.

My aunt has spent the past couple of months at Carlisle Lodge. I cannot fault the care she has been given. All staff across the board are friendly and caring and have a very positive attitude. Family and visitors are warmly welcomed and relatives are included in decision making about care needs.

The home is very welcoming and genuinely caring about the residents and families. They work hard to meet the residents needs and to facilitate activities and relationships. The staff provide good nursing care and are attentive to the residents health concerns. I would recommend it.

My mother spent the last 6 months if her life at Carlisle Lodge. I can honestly say I could not have been happier with her care.Unfailingly she was cared for with compassion,respect and dignity, clearly loved and cared for.The staff are amazing, always friendly, proactive in identifying my mothers needs and cared as much for us as her.The house is lovely, always smells fresh and all the residents dressed appropriately, with care to make sure outfits match etc. The food is wonderful, the home has no visiting restrictions, it is their home.The staff communicate with tbe family,updating and consulting on all aspects of care. I can thoroughly recommend Carlisle Lodge if I ever need this level of care its the place id choose for myself.

From the moment we first made contact with them, we knew that this was the place for her, it was home from home and they treated my aunt like one of the family, even attending her funeral. They guided us through some pretty hard times, always putting my aunt and us first. I would 100% recommend this fantastic home and would like to thank them for everything they did.

My dad went into Carlisle Lodge in January of this year and feels very loved and cared for. We, as a family, totally trust them to look after him as we would want him to be looked after and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. He is quite a tease and they enjoy having a laugh with him. Visitors are always welcome.

Dad’s been at Carlisle Lodge Care Home for nearly a year now and my family can’t recommend this nursing home enough. We looked at other places before choosing Carlisle Lodge but what moved us was when we asked ‘what are the visiting hours?’ Other places, some very fancy, had visiting hours between 2-4.30pm. This felt very institutional and was when he napped. We wanted to bring him a paper in the morning, a gin in the afternoon or sit with him while he had lunch. Visit at times which worked for him and our family. ‘You can visit him any time’ they told us at Carlisle Lodge. ‘This is his home’. This has proved true. Having Dad at Carlisle Lodge has been the next best thing to having him at home. The staff care. Many have been there for years. They’ve fattened him up with delicious food tailored to him, joked with him, spoilt him on his birthday and got to know all of us as a family and cared for and welcomed us too. We're lucky to have found Carlisle Lodge and want to thank the staff.

My wife was a resident for a time after her discharge from a hospice. We decided to use this home because of the lovely room and the beautiful view into the gardens. It was very 'home-from-home' and very comfortable. It soon became apparent that there was a lot more to this home than the room and that was the fantastic team. The whole team of staff seemed to make us feel extremely welcome without us actually noticing it happen. We were encouraged to treat it like our own home. The food was always excellent. There were no visiting restrictions on us which meant that someone from the family was able to be there at all times which we found very comforting. My wife and I were very appreciative of the keen and appropriate sense of humour that individual staff displayed - something that helped to ease such a stressful scenario - alongside the professional approach. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their compassion, empathy and effectiveness in my wife's final weeks.
