Abigail Lodge Care Home

My relative has been a resident in Abigail Lodge for the past 5 yrs. He was made to feel very comfortable and secure in this environment. The staff are incredible and so accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble. I have recently been staying overnight due to my cousin's health deteriorating. ALL the staff were so supportive during my stay and I cannot thank them enough. Definitely would recommend this care home.

My father stayed for 1 week of respite. He really enjoyed his stay and asked if he could come again. The staff listened to my information on my father's care and carried out their duties with empathy and respect. I cannot fault the experience he had, and I am truly grateful, as I was very worried about the stay, as it was his first experience in residential care.

My bother was being care for by staff in the above home and the care was very good. The staff were excellent to the many family members who spent many hours with my brother before he died. We were extremely grateful to them all.

We are really happy that nana has settled and thats down to the staff at Abigail. Thank you to all

We recently moved our mum into this care home, and we couldn't be happier with the decision. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive-not just to our mum, but to our whole family during what was a big transition.

The level of care she receives is excellent. The team are attentive, patient, and genuinely compassionate, always taking the time to make sure she feels comfortable, safe, and valued. It's clear they really get to know each resident as an individual, which has made such a difference in helping her settle in.

The home itself is warm, clean, with a lovely atmosphere that feels like a community. There are always activities going on, and it's reassuring to see our mum encouraged to stay engaged.

Keep up the good work.

Found it cold on a night in bed sometimes. Enjoyed my time in Abigail Lodge.

I was admitted after the death of my husband who was my carer. The staff have been wonderful. So caring and compassionate. The care is exceptional and delivered with dignity. I couldn't recommend Abigale Lodge enough.

The care and support mam has received from all staff has been excellent, so friendly, nothing is a problem. It is lovely that family can visit any time and receive a warm welcome. Only one negative, food could be served hotter.

My mother-in-law spent only 2 weeks at Abigail Lodge before she passed away. During the whole of her stay, she was looked after so well. The staff treated her with dignity and respect and always had a friendly, caring attitude. As a family we were kept up to date with all of her care. The cleaning ladies kept the home spotless. We had confidence when we left that she was well looked after. Thank you Abigail Lodge.

Since Abigail Lodge changed hands, there has been a marked improvement in the quality of the food provided and in the diversity of the menu.

The care and friendship given to my late father was exemplary, the staff were first class, friendly and attentive. More importantly Dad liked them too. Nothing was too much trouble. Support to the family was extremely good too, helpful and informative. Very professional and friendly too.

Mam was in two care homes before coming to Abigail Lodge on a permanent basis in July 2024. We researched and visited several care homes before accepting a place here. Although requiring some updating the home is clean, tidy and welcoming. Staff are friendly and approachable and will always find time to discuss any issues relating to mam. They will approach or contact us of anything we need to be informed of. They are quick to respond if Mam needs assistance and make sure she's kept clean and well presented. Mam doesn't choose to leave her room often but activites staff will try to involve her, especially with special events, such as Mother's Day, Easter. We are very happy with the care Mam is receiving.

Abigail Lodge has recently been taken over and I am more than please that the new owners Harbour Healthcare have retained the staff as they are what make Abigail Lodge what it is a Caring, Loving environment. I have nothing but high praise for them as the work is never ending (my wife is on the EMI wing) and they deal with residents with complex issues and yet they still manage to smile . The Activities Staff (they now have another name but I can't remember it) are trying all different approaches to entertain and stimulate the residents and would if allowed provide more but are limited by the number of hours they are allocated to work, shame. I would not hesitate to recommend this Home to family and friends.

The home took my husband in for respite at very short notice. It is clean and welcoming set in calm and pretty grounds. All staff were friendly and introduced themselves to us including the activities coordinator. My husband has a rare, little known condition and did not want to go into EMI and neither did he need nursing care. I had taken in some information on his condition which the Managers were willing to read and inform their staff with the information. He was treated with respect and liked the staff enjoying conversations with them when possible. His stay underlined that he needed more one to one support this is reflected in my safety and security answer as he was in the general residence. I would use the facility again.

I was at Abigail Lodge from Monday 10th to Monday 17th March 2025 for respite care. I was diagnosed with mixed dementia in July 2024 and this was my second visit which I again enjoyed very much it gives me a break and a more much needed break for my wife and daughter, who look after me full time. Many thanks.

I moved into the home for respite care and it has been good. I cannot single anyone out as all of the staff have been good to me.

My mother recently stayed at Abigail Lodge Care Home after a slip in the bedroom. She was very delicate and weary after the slip and was welcomed at Abigail for six weeks of respite by friendly staff who made her very comfortable. They allowed us to bring in her own chair and TV to make to room more homely. As she has special dietary needs the staff at Abigail made every effort with her diet. I always found every staff member courteous to her and enjoyed spending time with her. I would highly recommend this care home.

Mam's first Christmas at Abigail Lodge Care Home and what a lovely time she's had. The staff have certainly made her and my Christmas special. It's not easy having loved ones away from the family celebrations but it's been made a lot less heartbreaking for the family with the staff at Abigail and the joy they give. Many thanks to everyone involved in Mam's care.

I find Abigail Lodge Care Home great, the staff are wonderful, very polite and always there when you need them and always on time with medication. I really enjoyed the food that I received every day and there is always plenty of choice. The activities team always have a great selection of entertainment including fairs and outside entertainment, movie days and Christmas parties. They always make sure they keep residents up to date with what is going on. Laundry is fantastic, clothes are always washed, ironed and put away in the wardrobe. Overall can't fault anything within Abigail Lodge. Really enjoyed my short time here and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
