Our darling Mum passed away in June 2026 whilst in the loving care of Butterfly Lodge, her passing was made so much easier to bear by the love and support of everyone there, everyone and I mean everyone, the support and care shown by the amazing staff made this difficult journey with Alzheimer's bearable and you helped us so so much. We can never repay that support. I can't tell you how much that means to us all as a family. Butterfly have an incredible team that nurtured us all. It felt like you picked us up and carried us in your arms. We as a family thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss our Beautiful Mum forever but she is now at peace. Butterfly saved us from the worry and guilt that comes with a loved one with dementia and will be forever grateful for the love and care shown to our Mum
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will share them with the team

After looking after my wife who was suffering with Alzheimer's and mixed dementia for a number of years, then due to an infection for which she ended up in hospital it was decided that the only further course of care was to place her into a home. A decision that was not taken lightly. I visited a number of care homes in Plymouth with varying degrees of acceptability. I finally settled on the Butterfly Lodge which is a specialist Dementia nursing home. All I can say is that this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. From initially meeting the nursing home manager Clair who visited my wife at our home, to her first day as a resident and her final day on her passing, EVERYONE in that home showed her care, compassion and understanding even in difficult times. They looked after her every need and she participated when possible with far more activities than I could ever do at home. I absolutely recommend this home to anyone who is in the same position.
Thankyou Roy for your lovely review. lt was lovely getting to know you all i will share this review with the team.
Butterfly lodge has been amazing for my mother. She has been so well supported and cared for. They have always found that extra little bit of time for her when she has needed it, and are always more than happy to go the extra mile. The staff always greet with a smile and are always very welcoming.

Both my mum & mother-in-law are now residents at Butterfly Lodge. The care they have received has been brilliant & they have both improved both physically and mentally since being there. My mum, although her memory is very limited nowadays, is happy which was not the case when she first moved there. I would recommend Butterfly Lodge 100% and can't give all the staff enough praise for all their hard work and care they give to the residents.

A care home is truly about the carers and staff, and everything I have seen since my nan became a resident has been nothing but kindness and genuine care. There are always lots of activities, residents are treated with dignity and warmth, and everyone looks well cared for and well presented.
I can't thank Butterfly Lodge staff enough for the love and care they have shown my nan - it gives our family real peace of mind knowing she is safe, happy, and respected.
Thank you kelly for your wonderful review, it is so warming to read your lovely comments, I will share them with the team
My father in law was resident at Butterfly Lodge. He was wonderfully cared for. The staff are amazing and the home is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. Food is super and lots of great activities.

Thankyou so much Alison for taking the time to complete a review for us.
I was more than happy with mum moving to Butterfly Lodge. I knew staff previously which was one of the reasons i was happy. The fact the staff were still in place spoke volumes. The layout the cleanliness all played a part. The staff were attentive and happy to answer any questions. I was updated...
She wasn't just a resident, she was cared for, for who she was and will hold the home in high esteem.
I will leave top marks because of how I found the home to deserve.

My sister-in-law came to Butterfly Lodge April last year from a Care Home due to many falls and has been so well cared for since arriving. She has 24/7 nursing care which is outstanding, her carers have/are the best you could wish for and ALL the staff from from management to the rest of the wonderful crew can't be faulted. Would highly recommend this lovely Home to anyone looking to have a family member who needs nursing care.

I have over seven years of experience working in dementia care and joined Butterfly Lodge in 2019 as a Senior Health Care Assistant. Over time, I progressed into a Nursing Assistant role and proudly supported the management team during the COVID-19 pandemic, including working as a COVID Marshal to help keep residents, families and staff safe.
Since 2020, I have worked closely alongside the Registered Manager and was officially appointed Deputy Manager in 2021. I am passionate, caring, and always place the needs, dignity and well-being of our residents at the heart of everything I do. I am extremely proud of the strong, trusting relationships I have built with residents’ relatives and friends, and I believe open communication and compassion are key to providing high-quality care.
