My family are very pleased with the care that my father has received at Country Lodge Nursing Home. My father said that the staff are nice and the food and his room are very good. We are pleased that he is content there and visit him weekly to see him and he always says that he is happy there.

Country Lodge is simply brilliant. The respite care my mum received was first class. Every single member of staff is so kind and patient; her room was warm, clean and comfortable, and the whole facility really impressive.

Review from Carol A (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the moment our mum was placed in Country Lodge Nursing Home, after a stroke in December 2020, she was delighted with her beautiful room. It was bright and airy and looked out over the beautiful garden and surrounding countryside.
All the staff were amazing and looked after her with great dignity, care and kindness, and we were also made very welcome on our numerous weekly visits.
The food was delicious and homely and Mum really enjoyed her meals. The room was always spotlessly clean and although the staff were busy they would always have time for a little chat so Mum always felt at home.

It was a real privilege to witness the care my mum received in her final days, we felt lucky she had spent her last year in such a wonderful home.

Country Lodge Nursing Home has surpassed our expectations in every direction during my wife's care.
The staff are very professional and extremely kind and sensitive, nothing is too much trouble.
They pay attention to residents' needs and are always ready to please.
This nursing home should, in my opinion, be rated five-star plus!

P.S. the food is delicious!

I loved Country Lodge Nursing Home, I was made to feel one of the family, every one of the staff was so helpful and kind with always a smile and kind words. I felt so at home. Also, the garden was beautiful with plenty of lovely chairs etc to sit on. In other words wonderful.

Overall Experience

My mum has been living in this home for just over a year now. As a family, we couldn't be more pleased that Mum is living here and being so expertly cared for. We have found all the staff, clinical and non-clinical, to be friendly, caring and trustworthy. Not only do they care for Mum but they also care for the family and their needs and concerns especially during this very difficult time for all. Couldn't wish for a better home.

Review from Joyce H (Respite Resident) published on 23 November 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This was my first experience of a stay in a nursing home and I was very happy during my stay there. Unfortunately, on the second day I was taken ill - the male charge nurse at the home was extremely efficient and called the ambulance very quickly. Fortunately, I was not kept in and the rest of my stay at Country Lodge Nursing Home was excellent. I would certainly stay there again if the need arises.

Reply from Deborah Andrews, Director at Country Lodge Nursing Home

Dear Joyce, it was wonderful to host you at Country Lodge. Please do come back for respite care should you need any! We would love to see you again! Warmest regards, all the staff at Country Lodge.

Country Lodge Nursing Home is an extremely nice care home. The staff I have met are great. My 95-year-old mum has never complained about anything during her time there. The home is always clean and tidy and smells nice. I am extremely grateful to the Country Lodge team in making my mum feel safe and comfortable.

Review from Annabel H (Regular Volunteer) published on 18 November 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have visited the home as a volunteer photographer and was really struck by the warm welcome I received from the manager, the staff and the residents!
We had a wonderful garden party with a homemade spread and live jazz music.

Photographing several bedrooms, I was really impressed with the welcoming and homely decor, the cleanliness and the brightness of each room. It is a peaceful and joyful place where staff really care.

Review from Steve B (Son of Resident) published on 7 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our mum has been at Country Lodge for just over a year now. From the moment we visited the home we were really impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the overall cleanliness. Also the friendliness of all staff to visitors but, more importantly, the residents. Mum is very impressed with the food and she is a tough cookie to please! A huge effort is always made to celebrate birthdays and other occasions, a recent Bonfire Buffet and firework display were really enjoyed by all. The owners and staff really go that extra mile to make all events really special. Mum enjoys the wide range of activities offered each week. As there is a very low turnover of staff their interaction with all the residents is very personal, building a special bond. This has been really appreciated in these past few months, with the issues of Covid, where our personal contact has been severely limited. It's been a huge comfort to us knowing that Mum is being well looked after by such kind, caring people.

Overall Experience
Coming out of lockdown, I have been impressed with the new visiting scheme.
My mother was treated to some flowers, a card and a magnificent homemade cake on her birthday.
Nothing appears to be too much trouble.

I recently lost my father-in-law in the home, I can only praise the staff.

Review from Chrissie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident at Country Lodge since April 2017. We selected it after viewing many homes, and the standards here are superb, from personal care to the wonderful staff that look after my mother. Their kindness to her is lovely since being a dementia sufferer she can be quite difficult. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.
The food there is carefully adapted to the appetite and likes of each resident, even down to whether they like carrots mashed. The cleanliness is very good, and there is never the ‘smell’ that you get in some homes masked by air freshener.

I cannot praise it highly enough. You treat all the residents with kindness and dignity. Well done to you all there.

Overall Experience

My mother entered Country Lodge for end of life care after I visited three nursing homes in the area. From the moment I walked in, the staff impressed me with their knowledge, compassion, and expertise. The location is also beautiful. I cannot recommend the home highly enough, even caring for me with tea, coffee, food, and showers whilst I was with Mum in her final days. Thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience

My wife has terminal cancer and requires palliative nursing care round the clock. The provision of various medications has been overseen by our local GP and administered professionally by the senior staff. All the staff have been friendly and welcoming and make your visit as pleasant as possible. The nursing home have also been very accommodating to our several visitors and in enabling me to stay overnight. From what I have seen this is a very well run establishment.

Review from Annetta (Sister of Resident) published on 14 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My sister received excellent palliative care at Country Lodge. The dedicated and caring staff there are wonderful. The kindness and patience she was shown by everyone was exemplary, nothing was too much trouble. Everything was done with a smile and a friendly word. Country Lodge has a warm and cosy feel to it which you notice as soon as you set foot in the door. Every resident is treated as an individual and the care is first class. The food is also very good and any special dietary requirements are catered for. In August, a garden party was held for residents and their friends and families in the beautiful gardens, which are immaculate. It was such a memorable afternoon. The owners and staff went out of their way to make sure we all joined in and had a good time especially with the singer who sang old songs, which many of the residents could remember. I had complete peace of mind knowing my sister was safe and comfortable, pain-free and well looked after. She was very happy there.

Overall Experience

Country Lodge is a lovely nursing home providing excellent care and support to residents with many variable needs and also their families if necessary. The residents are treated with the utmost sensitive care and dignity. The atmosphere at the lodge is always friendly, warm and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. There are new owners at Country Lodge and they seem to be embracing the challenge of continuing in the same most caring way providing a wonderful service of later life care.
