Overall Experience

My friend came to Homer Lodge after another fall and a visit to hospital. He was put onto palliative care shortly after arriving. He sadly passed away thereafter. The staff were absolutely amazing. They treated him with the utmost dignity and respect. They were so caring towards me too. Would thoroughly recommend.

A huge thank you to the wonderful staff who provided excellent, kind and loving palliative care to my mum. Everyone was so supportive - they took time to get to know my mum and were so lovely with her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To know my mum was in such safe hands during the last weeks of her life made such a difference to us as a family.

Review from Barbara H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Although the location of Homer Lodge in a residential built-up area with no on-site residential parking and the building is a bit 'dated', (albeit being constantly updated), the important features of the care home are very impressive.

The cleanliness, outstanding cooking (all done on-site in their own kitchen and high-quality fresh food, changes daily with excellent chefs) are all high quality along with the entertainment, warmth and management and housekeeping, but the most outstanding feature is the care. The genuine affection, love, care and attention shown to my mum since her arrival in June '23 has been exemplary.

Review from Ross H (Son of Resident) published on 15 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The first thing that gets mentioned is food. Excellent home cooking that I have seen and smelt and my mother absolutely loved it and started eating things she had said in the past she said she didn't eat.
The car park is accessed from the street and allows time to gain access to the building as it is secure and you also have to be let out by staff.
There appeared to be enough staff (I'm no expert) and the staff are very compassionate and even the cooks and cleaners knew the names of residents and appeared to engage when opportunities allowed. I noticed that the daughter of a long-term resident knew the names of all the staff which, to me, indicates a low staff turnover and so most beneficial to residents.
No TVs in rooms but noticed there were aerial connections and some people had TVs so assumed had been taken in for them.

Perhaps one suggestion would be to have a checklist in patient rooms that includes even the basics as we realised her teeth were not cleaned for a few days.

Review from Iris E (Wife of Resident) published on 11 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My husband was admitted to this far below standard Care Home. We can honestly say that the attention from the staff was brief and he had to wait a very long time when he called for attention of a personal nature. Personal hygiene of a morning was scanty and I had to attend to this myself. Most of the staff were pleasant but we felt needed more in-depth training to achieve the standard of care that they were expected to deliver. Communication was pretty much nonexistent. A complaint to the Area Manager took three days for a result and I had to ask for the outcome. My husband was not given the opportunity to explain his side and it was dismissed. He was mortified to have not been believed. The entire home is far from clean in all areas, which we found very distasteful and there was a very unpleasant odour throughout. I hope no one else has to suffer the way my husband did as it has had a very traumatic effect on his life. Needless to say, he is now home and happy with his loving family.

Reply from Lydia Gardner, Area manager at Homer Lodge Care Centre

We welcome reviews both positive and negative. We are sorry you feel the care home didn't meet your expectations. We will take on board the feedback you have given, and use it in a positive way for the future. Thank you for taking the time to write the review. We wish you and your husband the very best for the future.

Homer Lodge Care Centre staff have looked after my husband with kindness and respect. They are a very friendly team, mostly young people who are a credit to their generation. The more mature staff have also treated us as a family visiting Homer Lodge with kindness and understanding. Well done each and every one of you.

Review from Jo T (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Whenever I visited, which was days in the week or weekend the home was the clean, warm, and calming environment - staff friendly, caring and attentive to residents. Food, my mum loved the food. Mum loved the staff, having a laugh and banter together. It was a difficult decision to place Mum in a care home after a hip fracture. She went for respite care and stayed 18 months until she sadly passed away. I would recommend this care home heartily.

Overall Experience

I came to Homer Lodge Care Centre on the 8th of February from hospital for rehabilitation after having influenza, on arriving to leaving on the 20th of March I have been very well looked after. The staff are all lovely and caring and treated me amazingly, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable and the food is excellent. I will miss everyone and wish I could take them all home with me. The team are very hard working and should get the praise they deserve for the time and effort they put in.

Review from A D (Son of Resident) published on 25 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mother was recently placed in Homer Lodge from the hospital.
We live 40 miles away.
Every time we phoned to ask how she was we were told what do you want to know no telephone etiquette and we’re quite rude.
When we visited we had made an appointment to see someone, we could discuss my mother my mothers care.
The door was answered by a handyman not wearing a mask.
Asked to sign in and show Covid pass.
We were taken to her room. He came back and said he’d forgotten Mum was in isolation so gave us an apron and gloves.
Spoke to the person in charge who said there wasn’t a room to go in, so she discussed my mother in the corridor with staff walking past all the time.
It was never a permanent placement.
Really disappointed about everything about the place.

Poor standard of care, wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Review from Martyn H (Son of Resident) published on 20 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father died recently of old age and opportunistic infection having spent his last seven years in Homer Lodge.
He went there straight from hospital having failed to look after himself safely after my mother died. When it was decided that he needed continuing care he begged to be allowed to stay in the same place and his wish was granted. He stayed in the same well-appointed room - his OWN room - for almost all his stay.
The senior staff were constant good friends for him. The medical care was careful, kind and caring: he had a chaotic diabetic problem that required constant monitoring. The junior staff, even when staff turnover was brisk, were all well trained and capable and Dad took to them easily as they came and went.
The continuing social contact kept him mentally lively and suitably socially challenged.
I live 50 miles from the home and so wasn't capable of just dropping in but was kept in constant touch by phone.

The best thing I can say is that Dad was very happy there.

Reply from Mary French, PA to Operations Manager - Halcyon Care at Homer Lodge Care Centre

On behalf of the manager and the team at Homer Lodge, we would like to express our gratitude for taking the time to leave such a lovely review on the care received by your late father. He was a wonderful character and will be sadly missed by all the team.

Review from Rebecca J (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother was unfortunately sent to this "care home" straight out of the hospital.
She was released back home in a disgusting state!
As a family, we are absolutely appalled at how badly let down we are with the "care" she didn’t receive.
We are absolutely heartbroken.
If anyone is reading this and looking at the CQC report please look at the caring report!
Surely no one wants a loved one to have to go into somewhere where the "caring" report says needs improvement.

We didn’t have a choice where she went but if we did I would not have been in this awful place.

Review from Ann P (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father became a resident after having a serious fall in December 2018 after spending time in hospital, we were told he would receive physio by occupational health. This was very short-lived, there seems to be a lack of even chair exercises, also any type of craft activities as we live away from Lincoln and visit at various times and days, we have never seen any type of activities going on for the residents. As for the so-called garden, it's nothing more than a few plant pots with poorly kept plants and a slabbed area. I'm sorry to say I don't always find it a welcoming place, there are a few of the staff that go out of their way to be helpful.

Review from Yvonne M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 23 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 91 year old mother in law went into Homer Lodge for transitional care a few weeks ago. She then went home but had to go back into Homer Lodge when she became very poorly and there she stayed and received end of life care. She told the staff she was happy, very comfortable and loved. We cannot praise the staff enough for their kindness to both her and us at this very difficult time. The staff were helpful, kind, compassionate and always pleasant in their attitude to us all and went out of their way to make us feel welcome when we visited. The food was amazing, the rooms fresh, clean and bright, she was always in fresh, clean laundered clothes and her every need both nursing and caring, were met with first class professionalism. Although the outcome was a sad one we could not have got through it so well if it had not been for the staff at Homer Lodge. A huge thank you to each and everyone of the staff. You are the best.
