Clayton Lodge Care Home

The staff and management very understanding. The care I was given was first class. Meals excellent.

My mother entered Aden Lodge Care Home a little over a year ago at the age of 96 where she was welcomed and made to feel at home: indeed her bedroom was newly refurbished and she was consulted on the scheme. Although she usually preferred to stay in her room, the staff very gently encouraged her to join in the home's social life but indulged her with meals and endless cups of tea when she wanted to stay in her room. My mother was treated with great care and every attention was given to her needs. In October after a short illness, my mother died in her bedroom at Aden Lodge. During her illness, the staff created a wonderful peaceful environment for my mother and ceaselessly cared for her with not only the utmost professional care but with a deep compassion and affection.

I cannot thank them enough and will always be very grateful to all the wonderful staff.

The fireworks were beautiful and I'll never forget one lady who was so thrilled to see the bright display that she said: " I thought the queen lived in London". I'm not exactly sure what she meant but it meant a lot to her. The effort made by the staff to give residents a good view was wonderful and I'm sure they all enjoyed it. The pie and peas were delicious and compliments to the chef there.

Kind regards

My mother was in Aden Lodge for 10 and a half years. The first 6 years was good then the home went downhill. The last year since they got a new manager, the home has picked up a lot again and she is doing a good job.

Clean and safe environment, not much to keep residents entertained other than "Wizard of Oz" (on repeat all week) No comfortable outdoor area.

Friendly staff, very comfortable and clean. Nice meals with kind carers.

Friendly and welcoming environment. The staff are very warm and friendly. They are very approachable. The food seems very healthy and varied and my nan is always full of compliments that the staff are all so kind and helpful. I have felt she has had good care whilst staying at Aden Lodge.

All I can say is that this is the best place for my mum.

My uncle has been a resident of Aden Lodge Care Home near Huddersfield for two years. Since June of this year, there has been a noticeable difference in the attitude of the staff who are friendly and appear much happier in their work. The atmosphere is also happier and the addition of an activities coordinator has improved the day to day life of the residents. The manager is visible to all and happy to discuss ways to enrich the resident lives.

My husband has just been a short term respite resident at Aden Lodge and is extremely happy with the service and attention received both with my husband and family, keeping us informed to the happenings and service being received.

My dad has just been in respite for a week at Aden Lodge and found the place, bedroom and staff extremely good and they kept us up to date with how my dad was. The staff were very approachable and willing to help in any way they could. The Halloween display was stunning and they spent a lot of time making all the home look lovely.

We can only comment on the changes we have seen over the last 6 months or so. However, I would note there has been a remarkable transformation.

Much improved over recent months, now a full-time activities coordinator is in place. Staff excellent, often overworked. Still a large turnover of staff. Hope improvements will continue under the new manager.

The building has a slightly shabby look but already I have seen improvements in the entrance, sun room etc. Mum is happy and safe at Aden Lodge .
