The Old Lodge Nursing Home

My husband was a resident at The Old Lodge for just under 18 months. He had previously spent 8 months in a spinal unit. On arrival at The Old Lodge, he was given a lovely room with views over the countryside. All the Staff were welcoming and very caring to him. My husband had quite a few medical issues but the staff treated him with dignity, patience and compassion at all times. When I visited I was always welcomed with a smile and given cups of tea and encouraged to join in the various social events which took place over the year.
During the time my husband was a resident, I and my family got to know all the staff, down from the Matron to the cook and handyman and nothing was too much trouble for them.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to the Matron and her staff for supporting my husband, myself and family during this most stressful time. I will never forget their kindness, care and compassion and would certainly recommend The Old Lodge Nursing Home to anyone.

This nursing home is exceptional. I cannot describe the relief my father, brother and I felt when our mum was admitted for care here after a difficult time in hospital.
People greeted us with friendly smiles and introduced themselves, from the chef to cleaners to carers. It meant so much to us for her to have received tender loving care during the last month of her life.

They also took excellent care of us, and our family and friends, when we visited. The Matron was just fantastic and set a great tone in the nursing home. The Deputy Manager and Team Leader were so kind, but to be honest all the staff were great. They gave us amazing support through the most difficult time of our lives. My brother is a GP who specialises in palliative care, and he says it's the best nursing home he has ever been to. We feel privileged to have had our mum stay here during her final weeks, and owe them a debt of gratitude.

My mother-in-law was admitted for 2 weeks respite after being in hospital. After the 2 weeks, she would have to go back to her own house and have home help 3 times a day.
She did not get any better so the care home managed to find a permanent room for her and in her final days, they took excellent care of her and nothing was too much for them in making her comfortable.

She passed away on the 21st October having been looked after by some excellent staff and we can not thank them enough for their excellent care they gave her.

My mum was a resident at Old Lodge for 13 months before she passed away in June 2015. She had a devastating stroke in April 2014 and transferred to the Old Lodge in May 2014. She was unable to communicate her needs and was physically disabled and needed to feed through a tube in her tummy.
All of The Old Lodge staff regardless of their role treated my mum and all of our family with dignity respect humour kindness and compassion. We felt fully included in all of mums care and were always made so welcome.
Matron and her team run a pristine homely and attractive looking home whilst maintaining very standards of care.

We cannot thank the staff enough for the care that mum received.
