My partner and I lost his mum in February 2024 after a brief stay at the Old Lodge Nursing Home where she moved to after a fall at her original care home, resulting in a broken hip. She had dementia, and the time she spent in hospital was very distressing for her and us as she was used to being mobile
but this was taken away from her. Her hospital stay was prolonged due to contracting COVID followed by an infection in the wound of her hip replacement. The Old Lodge were so supportive during this period, keeping a room available and working with us and for us to get Mum released from hospital and home to them. Thanks to the superb care provided by the matron and her team our Mum soon settled in and became less agitated. When we visited the staff were friendly, welcoming and always offered us a drink. When we sadly lost Mum, the Matron and the team again stepped up providing support to us during a difficult time. Thank you, your respect, care and empathy was greatly appreciated.
Reply from Kerry Daly, Administrator at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeThank you so much for your positive evaluation of the care we have provided your mother. It was our privilege to have been able to facilitate and meet her needs providing you with the comfort and peace of mind.

The staff at The Old Lodge clearly understand how it feels for a loved one to have to move into a home - both what it represents for the person and for their family. As such the care and kindness they show is warm and tailored to the individual, as if they were caring for their own loved one. The atmosphere
here does not feel like a typical nursing home, there is a real sense of family here. Matron has instilled an ethos of dignity, compassion and kindness that all of the staff personify. She is so worthy of the trust put in her by all the residents' loved ones, and has been an unfailing support to our family. The chef and the kitchen staff provide wonderful food, and have been so accommodating of Mum's tastes and needs, as well as ours when we visit. The nursing staff have gone above and beyond for Mum, showing genuine care and concern for her needs and her wellbeing.

Finding ourselves with a family member in full-time care has been a difficult thing to come to terms with. The Old Lodge has been amazing in supporting us through this. They've quickly made us all feel at ease and have become our second family. Staff are professional, friendly and incredibly caring.
There is a lovely atmosphere in the communal spaces.
My husband has been a resident of Old Lodge for 18 months now and the care he has received has been outstanding. He is treated with dignity, respect and a loving care by all staff.
They have supported us in celebrating family milestones together and making more precious memories something we are so grateful for.
Thank you to everyone at The Old Lodge for easing this very difficult time for us.
We are happy to recommend them to anyone who is looking for high-quality nursing care.
Reply from Khadiga Orta, Registered Manager at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeIt is always a privilege to have such lovely comments from family members who are happy and appreciative with the service we provide. Thank you for your kind words, they will be passed on to all staff.

I would like to express my deepest thanks to The Old Lodge Nursing Home. The whole team, are just amazing. My father became a resident back in January and he was with them till nearly the end of April when he sadly passed away.
The level of care he received was truly outstanding. When he first arrived,
the Matron, assured us all guests were treated like family, they were true to their word and some. My sister and I both felt included, made to feel welcome every time we visited. The food is fantastic, with a large variety for residents to choose from. The rooms are bright, spacious and cleaned extremely well, regularly and whenever needed. A 5-star level of dignity for all guests.
The building is beautiful, a proper country home meets nursing care medical centre.
As I said before the whole team are amazing, but more specifically, Matron. She is wonderful, I felt reassured immediately upon meeting her. Thank you again for everything what a wonderful job you all do
Reply from Khadiga Orta, Registered Manager at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeIt is our privilege to to provide the very best care for loved ones including their families recognizing the uniqueness of each individual is fully understood and respected by our ethos of care. It is very heartwarming and rewarding for my staff and I to receive such a positive evaluation of the care we deliver every day throughout the year. Reviews and positive comments always are very uplifting for staff who work extremely hard day in and day out to achieve the above results. Thank you so much, Matron.

I cannot thank the team at the Old Lodge enough for the excellent care and support they have given my mother over the past 12 months. The home is very well run, patients cared for extremely well and their commutation with us as a family in support of my mother has been great. In her final months, she
could not have been in a better place and that has been a great comfort to us all. Thank you for looking after her so well.

My father-in-law was admitted to The Old Lodge Nursing Home in October 2023 following a fall that resulted in a broken hip. The care he received was excellent. The staff were professional, caring and friendly. Sadly, my father-in-law died at the beginning of January but we know the last weeks of his
life were spent in the best place he could have been with wonderful, caring staff.

From the moment I contacted the Old Lodge, the team were so incredibly helpful and supportive. I desperately needed a room for my grandma with her rapidly changing needs and, having visited, I knew this would be the best place for her. It was so clean with tasteful decor and there was such warmth in
the atmosphere in the home every time I visited. The attention to detail of the (Matron) and her team is immeasurable and their respect and loving nature towards their residents are simply amazing. Every single member of the team is friendly and welcoming and I will be forever grateful that my granny was able to be cared for by such a dedicated team.
Reply from Naomi Laing, Administrator at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeWe are very grateful for being appreciated by families who are inspirational such as yourself. Equally, you have been exemplary in all aspects of care for your Grandma. Myself and my staff are with the understanding that care is not just a task, it is a vocation, which as a Manager I know it has been adopted by The Old Lodge Nursing Home. Thank you for taking the time to write your review.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had to move my stepmom due to dementia related episodes from a previous nursing home, supported by social services. Myself I came from a performance driven organisation, I needed to support my stepmom with 100% quality nursing care, with love and assurance this would be possible. On initial first
asking and monitoring actions across a wide range of activities, I could not fault this nursing home! This had already been established, communicated within everyone who was committed towards total quality of exceptional personal care. All staff take pride in everything they do, and are happy in doing so! They provide a fantastic service always going that extra mile to ensure all residents, families, third parties and their own staff are accounted for. Communication is second to none. Delicate and personal situations dealt with, always professional, treated with sincerest empathy, guidance direction and support. This is down to the team, and the vision of its matron. Thank you!

Like most families, we were devastated to put Dad in a Nursing Home after Hospital, but his resulting complex health needs gave us no choice. However, we considered ourselves and Dad blessed to have found The Old Lodge. From the moment we viewed, to seeing day after day, the passion, dedication and
care every staff member showed him, (regardless of role), we knew Dad could not have been in better hands. The team are truly special and is a credit to the matron, whose empathy, compassion and absolute love for her role, shine through. It was so apparent every person caring for Dad shared the same ethos as the matron. It is hard to convey just how exceptional this place is. Dad very sadly passed away in August 2023 and my family and I will never forget the truly outstanding care he received. The whole team treated Dad with such respect and dignity and consequently, this gave such comfort to us and to my Mum, who for the first time in 68 years, was without her adored partner.
Reply from Khadiga Orta, Director at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeThank you for a heartwarming review, it was our privilege to have had the opportunity to care for your father and so happy to have known you all and see the love and dedication the family afforded him in difficult circumstances.
Thank you, from matron and staff,

To hand over the care of one's own loving mum is indeed a massive step for a family, which the Matron at The Old Lodge intuitively understands. She and her staff worked tirelessly to provide our Mum with consistently excellent nursing care for her body and mind over a period of five years. The family
could not have been made to feel more welcome and we were fully consulted and included. The Home is immaculately clean and it is clear in every aspect of the way it is run that the overriding priority is the health and well-being of the residents. Simply outstanding.

Dad has been at Old Lodge for just over a month, having spent 7 months in hospital previously. The care he has received has been exceptional, with kindness being shown by all members of staff to Dad. His mental health has changed completely, from being very introverted and quiet to now showing normal
facial expressions, having an interest in his surroundings and his appearance, plus his appetite is now back to normal. Thanks to everyone at Old Lodge for your work and care, so far.
Reply from Khadiga Orta, Director at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeIt is a privilege and honour to provide care that is deemed above satisfactory by people who reside at the Old Lodge. We, of course, are very grateful to the family for such positive comments, Matron.

My brother, who has had epilepsy, has been looked after for 2 years plus. Coffee and cake in the room she visits my brother at the home with friendly staff. Staff always make her feel welcome and look after my brother day and night 24/7 and there is always someone for me to ring to check on him. As
you go in, it's absolutely immaculate and clean, always someone in my brother's room cleaning to ensure 5-star hygiene. They even paid for equipment for epileptic needs out of their own pocket and we're extremely grateful for that. A 5-star care home for people in need of professional care.

My partner moved to The Old Lodge for, what turned out to be, the last 6 weeks of his life. During those 6 weeks, I witnessed a standard of care that was second to none. The manager's infectious enthusiasm for the care of her residents filtered down to the care staff and no one could have done more.
The nurses were attentive and kept me well informed regarding his condition. He was looked after with respect, dignity and empathy and the staff were always full of life which transferred to the residents. I directly observed the skills of the staff and how they reflected the individual needs of the resident and even though we were in the most difficult of times, everything was cleaned and wiped down after every visit. The food was excellent and adjusted to meet his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend The Old Lodge to anyone, they not only look after the residents but the family too. I stayed with my partner for the last 3 days and was checked on, given lunch and dinner as well as tea.

My dad spent the last few months of his life in this care home and I can honestly say, it was such a good care home. The staff are genuinely caring! My dad was given end of life care and in that time he had left, the care was outstanding! The food is fantastic too, and the place itself is very clean!
Thanks to all of the amazing staff there for helping my dad. I would 100 per cent recommend this place to anyone. Thanks to all the staff.

My son has been at Old Lodge since July and I have nothing but praise for them and he has been looked after. The staff are all very caring and professional. He is now moving to a nursing home nearer to us, as it was quite a way to travel. This is the only reason I am moving him, as it is difficult for
family and friends to travel to visit him. I give my heartfelt thanks to all the staff at The Old Lodge; you have been outstanding with your caring ways. Thank you all again - you are brilliant.
Reply from Sandra Robinson, Administrator at The Old Lodge Nursing HomeThank you for your lovely words. It was a pleasure to look after your son whilst he was with us and we fully understand the reasons for the move. we will, of course, miss him but, we will also miss his mum and dad.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for The Old Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for The Old Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.938
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Lodge Nursing Home is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
