Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.We are delighted to hear that you and your brother felt welcomed from the very beginning. Moving into a care home is a significant transition, and our team works hard to ensure that both residents and their families feel supported throughout the process.
We appreciate your kind words about the patience, care and dedication shown by our staff. Your brother's safety and wellbeing remain our highest priorities, and we are pleased that the measures put in place to reduce his risk of falls have provided reassurance. We understand that there can be challenges along the way, and we are committed to working together with residents and their families to find the best solutions.
It's also wonderful to hear your comments about his room and that our chef has been making every effort to accommodate his tastes. We know how important good food and a comfortable environment are in helping someone feel at home.
My dad is in one of your homes, it's the Princess Lodge in Tipton. My concern is that when things get hot, there isn't any air con, and the staff struggle to cope with the conditions, and I've heard that some of the nurses leave, because they find it hard to keep up with the workload.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry to hear of your concerns. During periods of warmer weather, we implement a range of measures to help keep residents comfortable, including increased hydration, the use of fans, regular temperature monitoring and adapting activities where appropriate. Your father's room also benefits from patio doors, which can be opened to improve ventilation whenever appropriate and in line with his wishes and safety needs.
We note your comments regarding staffing. We can confirm that no nursing staff have left the home recently, and we continually review our staffing levels to ensure we provide safe, effective, and high-quality care. We are disappointed that these concerns were not raised directly with the management team at the time, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss them and provide reassurance.
We value all feedback and would be pleased to speak with you directly should you wish to discuss your concerns.
Do not put your family members here unless they don't need a lot of care. My mom was here for nearly 3 years and from my visits, she had no drinks available, when i asked they always made an excuse.

Do not put your family members here unless they don't need a lot of care. My mom was here for nearly 3 years and from my visits, she had no drinks available, when i asked they always made an excuse. Her room was always stocked with incontinence pads of which several packets would be open and over the floor. Personal items were damaged & clothes went missing. Staff were forever in the restaurant together chatting / on phones. She had numerous falls causing bruising and hospital visits. The last fall which caused bruising all down 1 side of face & neck and hospital in November 2025 was when the home refused to have her back and didn't even get the offer of their sister home which was supposed to be more focused for dementia clients. When I collected my moms belongings, there was no help off anyone and on a return visit the manager never even looked or spoke to me. There was only 1 person who worked there who said that they had failed my mom in their care.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.We are very sorry to read that you and your family feel disappointed by your mother's experience and the circumstances surrounding her care.
Throughout your mother's stay, we sought to work closely with family members and healthcare professionals to support her changing needs, and we regularly reviewed her care with relatives and external services. However, we recognise that this has not altered the concerns you have expressed.
As a care provider, we are unable to discuss individual circumstances in a public forum. We do, however, take all feedback seriously and use it to reflect on and improve the services we provide.
We appreciate the trust families place in us and are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. Should you wish to discuss any of the concerns raised in your review further, we would welcome the opportunity to do so privately.

My mum has been a resident of this care home for 11 years this year
She has vascular dementia
The care my mum receives is the best and today cements my feelings.
Mum has always received the best care here and today I was again blown away
I get a call from the assistant manager to say the night staff found a bruise on mums finger and didnt know where she had got it from .
They then say they are doing a safe guarding report as they are very transparent about any issues and they dont know how mum bruised her finger
She was checked by the night nurse and then the day nurse to ensure she wasn't in any pain
Also put on the weekly Doctors list to be checked
This is just proof of how much the home care about their residents
I have never worried about mums care as it's the best and this just clarifies it again
Honestly if you have to make a terrible decision to put your parents in s home you certainly cannot go wrong with this care home .
Thank you to all the staff .

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Your words genuinely mean a great deal to us.To have cared for your mum for 11 years is a privilege we never take for granted. Supporting someone living with vascular dementia requires consistency, vigilance and compassion, and we are proud to have been alongside her - and you - throughout that journey.
We believe that good care is not just about responding to significant events, but about noticing the smallest changes and acting on them. The fact that the night team identified the bruise, escalated it immediately, involved the nurses, and initiated safeguarding procedures reflects exactly the culture we strive to maintain: transparency, accountability and proactive clinical oversight. Even when the cause is unknown, our responsibility is to investigate, document and ensure your mum's safety and comfort at every stage.
I am particularly pleased that you felt informed and reassured by the communication from the Assistant Manager.

Princess Lodge have been caring for my Mom for almost three years, in which time she has received excellent care. The staff treat the residents like family and go above and beyond to make them feel at home. Since December, my Dad has become a resident thanks to the staff helping to facilitate a transfer from a different care home. He has been made to feel welcome and safe. We chose this home because of the positive experience we previously received with my Mom.
Thank you for your kind review. I will ensure your comments are passed onto all the team.

The home was well run by Luanne and always clean and tidy thanks to a great domestic team. Food standards were very good and generally the care provided was also very good. The outstanding feature by far was the activities provided by Beata who was exceptionally hard working organising birthdays and events throughout the year. She went above and beyond not only raising money to support the residents but making their time at Princess Lodge truly enjoyable. I am grateful for her outstanding work ethic and dedication.

We couldn't be more pleased with the care that Dad receives. All the staff are friendly, approachable, helpful and professional. Dad is treated with respect, and dignity and as he has a good sense of fun, this is taken into consideration, and he the carers are wonderful with him, making him laugh...
When we last visited, Dad told me that he never thought he could be happier anywhere but home, but he is happy at Princess Lodge, and he speaks highly of all the staff there.
Everywhere is clean, and well-maintained, with memorabilia, photos of events etc in the corridors. Dad's room is lovely, and family have been allowed to put up photos, an electronic photo frame etc, to make it homely for him. He also has a tv. The meals smell and look delicious. Dad is also asked what he would like to eat, and is kept topped up with hot and cold drinks. Mum is also made very welcome, at any time of the day.
It gives us peace of mind, to know how well Dad is cared for every day.
Thank you for such a positive review. We strive to provide the best possible care for both our residents and families. I will ensure that your amazing comments are passed on to the team.

My mother has been a resident at Princess Lodge for just over two years. The level of care and compassion for their residents has been exceptional from day one. Whether it be from the owners, managers, nurses, activity coordinator, carers, cleaners, cooks or the handyman the professionalism and genuine care shines through. The varied range of activities providing daily stimulation for residents deserves a special mention, as does all the managers and staff. Special efforts every time a resident has a birthday. The home is very well run reflected in a recent CQC good rating and the major strength that raises it to a standard over and above the norm is the attitude and genuine empathy of all the staff. I can highly recommend Princess Lodge based on my observations and experience over the last two years they have cared for my mum!
Hi John, thank you for your kind words. As a team, we are happy to provide a high standard of care and will continue to do so. I will be sure to pass your kind remarks on to all the team here at Princess Lodge.
