Earls Lodge Care Home

Mum moved to Earls Lodge in October 2007. A life changing holiday accident left her in need of nursing care. My late father and I visited other homes in the Wakefield area. We were warmly greeted at Earls Lodge. Mum has found true care from excellent staff and is happy and content to be a resident. New management has continued to improve on facilities in the last year.

My mother settled in straight away eight weeks ago. She finds the food and staff very good. She was given baths which were not done whilst in hospital or at a remedial home. The staff and management are always helpful on hand when needed, both for my mother as the user and myself and family.

My mum was a resident for only a short time during the darkest times of her dementia-suffering, but the dignity, care and attention shown to her by all the staff was quite simply excellent. Living myself over 200 miles away, to know that mum was safe, looked after and provided for by the wonderful staff, allowed me to feel so very grateful for this support, just when I and mum needed it most. Mum lived at '15 Memory Lane' (such a nice personal touch) in the care home and then retired finally one sunny day in August 2016. I cannot thank or praise the kind folks at Earls Lodge enough!

I think it is very nice here. I have no complaints. The food is good and the home is clean.

I am very pleased to be able to report a high standard of care at Earls Lodge and especially the commitment of the staff...any request for assistance was always promptly dealt with. Unfortunately, my appetite was virtually none existent during the stay and I am unable to comment on the quality of the food. Likewise, as my 2-week stay was funded by the local authority, I cannot comment on value for money. Also, I stayed in my room the whole time (my choice) so cannot comment on any activities. Overall I was extremely satisfied.

My father was brought by ambulance from LGI and went into residence only 4 days ago so it is difficult to review after such a short period, having said this I am very happy with the care he has been given to date, all the staff seem very competent and cheerful. At all times dad has settled in well and likes the home and his room as of now myself and my family are very pleased for my dad to be here.

My husband came here after a stroke he had in June 2015. He has been well cared for. He has had to be admitted to hospital on three occasions since he came with urine infections and pneumonia. Each time his condition was spotted early and hospital contacted immediately and I was also contacted straight away enabling me to get to the home in time to go with him to the hospital. Over recent months changes and improvements have been made to the running of the home and staffing members- all for the good.

Although my mother was resident at Earls Lodge for less than two weeks prior her death she experienced very thorough and compassionate care throughout her stay. The management and staff showed kindness and understanding to the whole family during a very difficult time.

Made me feel very welcome. Nothing is never no trouble. I am happy to be at Earls Lodge. All the staff and management are very good with myself and my family.

We were made to feel very welcome and our minds out to rest, we were all treated with respect and dignity for me it was a very hard decision to make to put my mum in a care home but she had only been a short time. I am very pleased with how quick she has settled in. So glad she is in a good care home, can not fault any thing or the staff.

My dad was extremely poorly when he came to Earls Lodge. After a long stay in hospital, several bouts of hospital acquired infections and falls his weight had plummeted and he was confused and frail. With the care of the excellent staff at Earls Lodge he is back to his old self again. The home is well run and the staff are very friendly, kind and caring. The food is excellent and the home is very clean and welcoming. My dad cannot praise the treatment he receives at Earls Lodge too highly and he is happy and settled there.

Thanks again.

Very helpful, caring. Mum very happy, keep us informed of any changes.

I'm extremely satisfied with the service and have no complaints or problems.

Since my mum came into Earls Lodge I am happy that she has settled in so well and is extremely happy. The staff are excellent in every way always on hand if any worries. They look after mum fantastically always checking if she needs anything. The home is spotlessly clean and is kept that way always. The menu is varied and suits all dietary needs. I would recommend to anyone looking for a care home I can't complain about anything.

Our life long friend has been a resident at Earls Lodge for 4 months. During this time we have found ALL levels of staff to be friendly, patient and extremely caring. We are always welcomed with a smile and a chat (we visit every day) which is much appreciated. Nurses and management have shown compassion, knowledge and respect during serious illness and challenging times. The food is very good and the kitchen staff will accommodate our friends' requirements even when it's not on the menu. Our experience of Earls Lodge is a well run, warm and welcoming establishment.

I am impressed with the knowledge of the staff relating to my aunt's medical conditions. Staff are caring and helpful and Earls Lodge is a very pleasant environment for residents.

During my father in laws stay here, I have had no complaints about his care. The staff have always been helpful, caring and considerate. They have become his main family. I feel that without this care he would not be here today. We live approximately 35 miles away and did at one time consider moving him to a home nearer to us. However as he and we are happy with Earls Lodge this would have been unfair.

My mother really enjoyed her stay at Earls Lodge. She was there for two weeks respite care after a fall. Being a lady at 99 years old mother is normally very independent but she said all the staff were very helpful and she thought of the stay as a little holiday. Many thanks from both sons for the service provided by Earls Lodge.

Moved my mum from some very basic care facility in Stockport as they didn't tackle issues raised. The team at Earls Lodge are all making a positive contribution to support my mum. The positive reassurance from the staff is great. There is a really good "feel" to the home everyone seems to happy to help.
