Review from F H (Husband of Resident) published on 21 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

For the final eighteen months of my wife’s life during which she endured, with great dignity, the competence-reducing effects of Parkinson’s disease and dementia, the management and staff of Peartree Lodge attended to her every need with truly exemplary, sincere concern. Consequently, when we had to accept the end of her life in 2023, we were able to reflect on the time spent in Pear Tree in the certain knowledge that she had always received professional, yet personalised attention. We are so very pleased that we entrusted her care to Pear Tree Lodge. And, moreover, we wish to record the kindness shown to the members of our family who were present at Pear Tree Lodge throughout my wife’s final, vital days.

Overall Experience
I have visited my friend several times since she has been at Pear Tree Lodge. Everyone is so kind and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My friend has been able to join in some wonderful activities that she would not have been able to do at home.
I was invited to stay for lunch and the food was very enjoyable and had lots of choices.

It’s very welcoming with a lovely atmosphere and always looks bright and fresh.

All of the staff are friendly, caring and welcoming. I feel they care for my dad really well. They organise great activities, the kitchen caters for his dietary needs and medical care. I feel that the care home is very secure and treats the residents with dignity and respect.

Overall Experience

Pear Tree Lodge Residential Home is an excellent home. The care they give is exemplary. They are kind, thoughtful and efficient. My mother is currently dying of cancer and I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. The ethos of the home is excellent and they work as a team for the benefit of the residents.

Dad has been at Pear Tree Lodge for two and a half years now, and I have just been to visit for the first time (I live in Australia and couldn't travel due to the pandemic). He is clearly happy, settled, respected and well cared for.

Overall Experience

My father stayed at Pear Tree Lodge for what turned out to be the last five weeks. As far as I can tell, the carer quickly adapted to his situation and took care of him carefully, professional and joyfully, despite his short acquaintance and short time with them.

Overall Experience

My mother had two bad falls and was unable to remain at home. Pear Tree Lodge was the best we could find by looking at reviews. My mother had two and a half months at Pear Tree Lodge prior to her passing. The staff were wonderful and the management first class. They were attentive to mum and always followed through with my requests.

My father was a resident for 2 and a half years. The staff were fantastic with his care and gave him the dignity that Alzheimer's had taken from him. Their care in his final days was exemplary and I can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience

Dad first came here on an emergency placing, 18 months later he has made Pear Tree Lodge his home. We are so happy with how welcome he has been made and we as his family have too. Dad is so happy here, he loves the staff and it's so good to see the same faces when we come. The home is always super clean and fresh, Dad always looks well turned out and enjoys the activities here. He is loved and especially during Covid, safe!

Review from Sara H (Mother of Resident) published on 25 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter came here just before lockdown so not being able to visit her was terrible. My daughter has Downs Syndrome and now Alzheimer's. This has affected all her activities. She can no longer walk or feed herself. Since being in the home, she has blossomed. They have given her a fantastic padded wheelchair and support her to take part in all activities. I couldn't be more grateful that she is in such a wonderful safe place.

I am very happy to be here and feel very safe through the covid pandemic. I am always able to choose what I like to do, one of my favourite places is the beauty room. The staff help me shop for clothes on the iPad which I love to do.

Overall Experience

Since becoming a resident at Pear Tree Lodge, my dad has received excellent care from all of the staff. After previous negative experiences of other care homes, knowing that his needs are being met has been extremely reassuring for our family. Pear Tree Lodge has worked tirelessly to ensure a Covid-free home for their residents throughout the pandemic.

My experience here at Pear Tree Lodge has been exceptional. Staff are there for me when I need them, and they never intrude. I feel the staff and management have taken so many precautions and preventive measures during the pandemic, that as of yet, I have never felt unsafe.

Review from Jean H (Wife of Resident) published on 5 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

So happy my husband has been in Pear Tree Lodge all through the pandemic and not another care home. I have always felt safe in my mind that he was being looked after well and the staff doing all they could to keep Covid out, which with hard work and dedication managed to do. I have been able to see my husband on Facetime along with visiting restrictions (when not in lockdown) right through the year. Carers and staff are always happy to talk. Activity lady is brilliant with the residents. Even in full PPE in the heatwave, carers were still happy. Just looking forward to being once again with my husband and being part of the lovely family at Pear Tree Lodge.

My friend moved into Pear Tree Lidge about four weeks ago. I have visited her on a number of occasions and have been impressed with all I have seen. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming, I see them treat all the residents with respect. I have a long background of care, and you "just know" when a service has got it right. My friend tells me; she is happy, feels safe and loves the food. Thank you.

Overall Experience

This relates to my father's recent palliative care. All the staff at Pear Tree Lodge treated my father with the utmost care, respect and dignity. I was kept informed of his condition when visiting and by phone, nothing was ever too much trouble. The relevant staff explained what was happing at all stages of his decline, clearly and sympathetically. I cannot praise Pear Tree Lodge highly enough for my father's care throughout his 7-month stay and end of life treatment.
