The Old Lodge Nursing Home

My mom has just moved here as we live around the corner and she was in a care home up north previously not getting looked after well at all. The Old Lodge Nursing Home has an incredible reputation in the area and I have friends whose loved ones are living there too . Everyone who works there have been so wonderful and supportive and look after your loved ones really well. They are caring and compassionate and were so supportive during a very complex move for my mom and making sure she settled in. There is an abundance of staff if you need to ask any questions etc and it's the same staff I have seen since living nearby for 13 years. I would highly recommend this place for anyone's loved ones and I am so pleased my mom is there. I can now pop in each day to see her. I can see why this place is so highly regarded and has a long waiting list.

I just what to thank everyone for all the care you gave my brother he loved you all Adele

My Partner became a resident at this care home before Christmas 2025. Sadly he passed away on the 11th January 2026. This care home treated him with dignity and respect from the day he moved in. All the staff are kind and caring and I believe that had he not moved into The Old Lodge he would not have made it to the New Year! I would like to thank everybody at The Old Lodge for their exceptional care and no words can express my gratitude in making the end of his life as happy as it could be.

A team to be truly proud of thank you from all the family.

My dad was moved to The Old Lodge Nursing Home just before Christmas 2025, after spending just over a year in a previous care home where he was sadly heavily neglected.

The difference after just one day at The Old Lodge was unbelievable. He was sitting out in a chair with other residents, singing Christmas songs and being treated with dignity and kindness.

I cannot thank the matron and all the staff at The Old Lodge enough. They truly care, and it shows in everything they do. My dad is now being looked after properly, with compassion and respect, and he is back to his old self. I will be forever grateful to this wonderful care home and its incredible staff.

My father was moved from hospital on end of life. From the moment he arrived and the short time he was there the care was amazing. The staff all went above and beyond. My father was a devout Catholic and the staff prayed and said the rosary with him which meant so much. Dad was only 5 days but I will always be thankful for the care he received.

Just like to say my brother has recently been in care of this home for only a sort while but will be in for a while . The staff all round are lovely have a wonderful and kind sense of humour my brother likes . The matron is also a very lovely kind person, we have a laugh with all of you when we have come to visit. ( it me be only 3 times so far) . But all is family are very happy he managed to get in this care home . Many thanks to all of you you are a great team xx

My mum was a resident at the old lodge nursing home for only a short time before she passed away , I can not praise matron and staff enough for their excellent standard of care which was given to mum , was always made welcome on every visit , I attended the old lodge nursing home today after receiving the very kind and thoughtful invitation to place a star on the Christmas tree in memory of mum , what a lovely service we all had , A very big thank you to you matron and all your lovely staff for everything in relation to looking after my lovely mum while she was in your care , would recommend you in a heartbeat .

I would definitely recommend this nursing home as we all received excellent care and support.

I would thoroughly recommend The Old Lodge, they truly are Outstanding.

To all at The Old Lodge, thank you again for your superb levels of care and kindness.

Mum was happy and well cared for previously for nearly 5 years at her previous care home so this was a big decision to move her. We definitely feel we made the right decision when we chose The Old Lodge and feel this is a home for life as her needs change, as they inevitably will

My Dad had been in The Old Lodge just under a year with Alzheimer's Dementia. He sadly passed away on the 31st August. The quality of care and kindness was like no other. From the Top - Matron, down through each and everyone of her staff, who could not do enough for my Dad, they were always happy, polite and treated him with dignity. The Lead Nurses are amazing along with all the other nursing staff. The Old Lodge is spotless they clean non stop. The food is exceptional and they cater for individual requirements. They also have Activities Staff, to help keep the residents minds and bodies active. In my Dad's last few days, my Brother and I, did not leave Dad's side. The Old Lodge went out of their way to support us, to enable us to be with him. Through Matron's amazing leadership, this place would not be what it is, without her, she works none stop with planning and new ideas. Thank you to everyone, my Dad loved you all, and so do I for looking after my Dad so well. x

I would like to recommend this nursing home. My husband, having received treatment in hospital for throat cancer , eventually he had to have a tracheostomy. He was fitted with a 'Portex endotracheal tube' which is very complex. He was struggling with his mental health being in hospital but no nursing home would offer a place due to his complex tracheostomy. The Old Lodge arranged for their nurses to attend the hospital for training and he recently transferred to the Old Lodge. The staff have been so professional and caring for my husband's physical and medical needs and also his emotional needs as he learns to live with the portex tube. I highly recommend this nursing home as they have gone beyond all expectations to offer a safe and caring home from home for my husband and all the family whenever we visit. Nothing is too much trouble from answering my endless questions to giving me support and advice when I need it.

This is my first, direct experience with a nursing home. I was extremely apprehensive about leaving Mum when visiting other establishments. It is a relief to find somewhere where all the staff care so profoundly for their charges. It has been a huge relief to know that matron, and her lead clinicians, fight for the rights of patients - medical, funding, etc. They have taken a great deal of stress out of the whole situation. I couldn't recommend highly enough.

My Mother started residing at The Old Lodge in December 2024 due to her suffering from vascular dementia at the age of 95. During her stay, until she sadly passed in April 2025, the staff and management were absolutely fantastic. They cared for and treated her as if she were their own Mother. The facility is kept spotlessly clean and visitors are welcomed with open arms. I live in the United States and the staff went out of their way to keep me appraised of Mum's health and facilitate video calls with her. Following Mum's death I received numerous messages of sympathy from staff members and management. I can't speak highly enough of this care home.

I know from experience the difference a well-led home can make and this is most certainly very good and very well-led.

My husband was a resident at The Old Lodge for 9 months (from April 2024), after being in hospital with a fractured hip and dementia with Parkinson's. His care by the Matron and her staff was so kind and caring. They were friendly, welcoming and always offered us a drink. The food was very good and varied. Everywhere was very clean and my husband was kept clean and well cared for.

When he passed away, the staff treated both myself and our family with the utmost respect and care.

I would highly recommend The Old Lodge to anyone.

The Old Lodge Nursing home. Simply beautiful. Management, Matron and staff have been fantastic throughout my Mum and Dad's stay. The Home is immaculately clean and it is clear in every aspect of the way it is run that the foremost priority is for the health and well-being of the residents. Matron's enthusiasm for the care of her residents flows down to the care staff. The management team and highly skilled professional nursing staff provide exemplary care and no nursing home could have done more.

We, with illness and COVID, were unable to see Mum but through family and friends who did visit found Mum being looked after with respect, dignity and empathy and the staff were always there to attend and help. We cannot thank Matron and all the staff enough for the care shown to our Mum and Dad. We would not hesitate to recommend The Old Lodge to anyone, they not only look after the residents but family and friends too. With Kindest Regards and Respect. Love on you all.

Our mother who suffered with Alzheimer's dementia was looked after at The Old Lodge Nursing Home for almost 4 years. She went there after suffering a broken leg because of a fall at her previous care home. She never became mobile again but was given fantastic care by all the staff, right to the very end. All of the staff were very patient and good with Mum and we could tell she liked them. We the family were very grateful for all the compassion and care that was given to Mum. We wanted to make sure that someone from the family was there with her at the end and they made sure that this happened when the time came and Mum had a very peaceful passing. We would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone who had friends or family who needed care. Thanks to all the staff that looked after Mum for all that time.
