Thank you for taking care of our beautiful father in the last months of his life and for making his home our home. You went above and beyond to care for him and to support us in those hard last months. Our Dad was moved to Carlisle Lodge from the hospice for end of life care. Those days will remain very precious in our memories as we surrounded our dad with love and support right to the very end. Thank you Simone and all the wonderful Earth angels who took care of Dad and us.

They not only made it a home for him, they made it a home for me and my family when we visited. They were flexible with visiting times, welcoming us at all hours which made the experience a precious time.
We will always be truly grateful to all of the staff as they all played an important role in our journey.
There are no words that can express how thankful we are, as they gave us good memories of my Dad at such a sad time in our lives. It is those memories that give us great comfort knowing he was in the best care.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was a privilege to support your Dad and such a devoted family at such a difficult time.

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.
Thank you for your kind review. It was our pleasure to welcome your mum and her family . We hope she is doing well.

She was very apprehensive about moving to a Nursing Home and leaving her house, she has settled so quickly and is always complimenting how lovely the staff are and the wonderful food.
She is socialising with others and said to me yesterday that she has no regrets about her decision and is very happy.
Nothing is too much for the staff here and you can tell they all enjoy working here, The manager is very approachable, kind and friendly and they are very quick to respond to any questions that we may have.
As a family we feel so relaxed knowing that she is receiving such good care.
Thank you for your kind review. It is a pleasure to be able to look after your great Aunt. She brings a breath of fresh air to the home and it is a joy to hear all about her life and experiences. Thank you for sharing her with us.

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.
Thank you for your review. Your comments are much appreciated. I am so glad you are happy with mum's new home.

The food is excellent and my mother always enjoys her meals. In addition, snacks are available 24 hours a day at the press of a call button.
The lounge and dining room/conservatory are available to those who can use them or residents who prefer to stay in their rooms are welcome to do so. There is also a peaceful back garden.
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.
It is a pleasure to look after your mother, you and family.

The staff and nursing team look after my Dad with kindness, sincerity and grace. They are never rushed or too busy and give my Dad full attention as needed. When there has been medical emergency the staff have been on to it with no delay and my wife and I have felt very supported in every respect.
My father is in the perfect place and we have no doubt about that. we feel can can fully trust that he is being well looked after and cared for and Carlisle Lodge is a Nursing Home that I would highly recommend and additionally have fond memories in the future.
Activities have been appropriate and seasonal celebrations well catered for with full commitment from all the staff.
There is a garden at the back of the property and a covered seating area which we made use of in the summer months last year.
A huge Thankyou.
Thank you for your kind review. It truly is a pleasure to look after your dad, and we all enjoy hearing stories of his wonderful life and the memories he has made. May we make many more together !

Everyone is welcoming in Carlisle lodge. They have a Christmas lunch for residents and their relatives and many other activities that they can get involved in if they wish to.
It is a beautiful home with a lovely ambiance.
Thank you for your kind review. It is a pleasure to be able to look after your Aunt.
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.

Thank you for your lovely review. We feel the same way about you !
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.

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.
Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure to look after your nan.

Thank you for your review. It is good to know you feel your dad is in safe hands.
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.

Thank you for your lovely review. it's so good to see your Aunt has settled into life at Carlisle Lodge.
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.

The exceptional level of care, compassion and dignity given by all of the members of staff to my aunt and our family was beyond compare, we will be forever grateful for the way that they looked after her, especially in her final days.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review. It was our pleasure to be a part of all your lives.

Carlisle Lodge Care Home feels like a home rather than a business. It is a Victorian house with home furnishings that residents relate to. It is clean and always smells fresh.
The staff are amazing and nothing is ever too much trouble. When I phone them they always introduce themselves, know who I am and call me by my name. They keep me well informed of anything they think I would like to know relating to my dad. The management are obviously kind and considerate to their staff as they all work together as a team and relate well to each other. There isn’t any sense of hierarchy.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review. We enjoy looking after your cheeky dad - the man with a twinkle in his eye!
