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.
The home and its staff are very welcoming. They are professional in the care of the residents whilst being kind and sensitive to their needs. The new garden design is wonderful with plenty of seating to help you enjoy the view. Such a lovely place.
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.
Thank you so much for your review. We are always grateful for relative feedback.
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.
Thank you Carol for your review. We consider it a great privilege to have cared for your dear mother.
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!
Thank you so much for your review Peter - it was such a pleasure to care for your wife.
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.
Dear Molly! Thank you so much for your review. You are very welcome any time for respite or something longer! Kind regards, the staff at Country Lodge.
Fantastic, caring, family atmosphere. My mum is receiving first-class care. Wonderful staff - thank you for all you are doing.
The entire team at Country Lodge Nursing Home has been helpful, caring and kind at every level. They have looked after my mother with great care and kindness. When we need to visit nothing has been too much trouble, the entire environment is clean, vibrant and cheerful. It is a lovely place for our mother to be nursed and cared for.
Thank you so much for your review Christopher - it is really encouraging for the staff!
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.
Dear Jane, thank you so much for your review - very much appreciated.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your review Alan. We are very grateful for your feedback.
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.
Thank you so much Annabel! What a lovely record of our garden tea parties you have provided for staff, residents and their families - thank you!
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.
Mum is always very comfortable with great attention to detail from the staff. Management is effective and professional. The food is excellent.
The care home always clean and well presented. Looks lovely from outside. Residents always appear happy. Gardens beautifully maintained for the residents to enjoy.
Thank you for your kind words. Ensuring our residents are happy and well cared for is our priority..
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.
Thank you for your kind words. It has been so hard on everyone over the last few months and we are so pleased we have been able to get friends and family visiting again.
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.
Thank you for your kind words. We will pass your comments onto our staff.
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.
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.
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.
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.
