Our parents are both in the care home. Mum has been in for eight months and Dad for two months. They are both very happy and very settled. Every member of staff we come into contact with is so nice, and they go way beyond their call of duty. As a family, we know Mum and Dad are very well looked after. We can't thank the staff enough.
Well supported when needed. Well supplied with comfortable lounges, superb views from the dining room and several bedrooms. The food is really good and well cooked. The staff are all really caring and helpful. The downside is too many agency staff, lack of knowledge of residents' requirements....
Well supported when needed. Well supplied with comfortable lounges, superb views from the dining room and several bedrooms. The food is really good and well cooked. The staff are all really caring and helpful. The downside is too many agency staff, lack of knowledge of residents' requirements. Pills at night often late and past bedtime. Allowed to have our own bedding, a plus is the laundry facilities are excellent.
My father settled in here and has progressed well since his arrival. He receives good care and is very well-fed. The socialising and activities are excellent and has helped him greatly as he is far less depressed. I would recommend this home to anyone needing care.

The food is excellent, with a resident chef who will prepare meals to suit individual preferences. It's always clean and smells of lemon flash. Could not wish for a better experience for my mother.

Nothing but praise. From the moment we stepped through the door to look around for my dad, it just felt right. Spacious, friendly relaxed atmosphere, nothing too much to ask, caring, very helpful. All the staff were brilliant, would recommend. Unfortunately, Dad was limited to using a lot of the facilities, would have if was well enough. Thanks a million for Dad's care even though it wasn't for long.

A lovely, friendly atmosphere with staff who care about the needs of each individual. Mum was always made welcome and listened to on every occasion. A small covid outbreak in the building did affect staff numbers, but they all work so hard and Mum was still looked after to the best level they could manage.
I cannot ask for any better care for my dad. All the staff are lovely, they all go beyond their duties. All the meals are fantastic. I can say, hand on heart, that this place is the best care home in the area. Five-star rating.

My mam recently moved into Bishopsgate Lodge Care Home and from the moment she arrived she has been treated with respect and kindness by all members of staff. Staff have gone out of their way to make adaptions, listen to her views and meet her needs. They are determined to help her to feel safe, comfortable and happy. Thank you to all staff for making her transition from home to care home as smooth as possible for both Mum and our family.
On behalf of the whole family, I would like to say thank you to all the staff for the care and affection that they have given to my mother-in-law throughout her stay. She enjoyed a laugh with the staff and, prior to Covid, she enjoyed trips out - not to mention fish and chips on occasion! Everyone...
More recently, as her health declined, staff were especially attentive. During her final days, they extended that care and attention to her family. looking after us too as we stayed with her. For that, we are very grateful.
Over the years, especially during Covid, it has been reassuring to have peace of mind, knowing that she has been well looked after by caring and professional staff. Thank you all so much.

Pre-Covid, I was struck by the genuinely friendly approach to us and that there were a significant number of long serving staff.
Covid was a nightmare for care homes, so I was delighted that a number of these staff are still there now.
My mother passed on June 8, and thanks again to the home, I was able to stay there for a few days, enabling me to spend invaluable quality time with my mother.
From the manager, nurses, carers and support staff - I received nothing but warmth and care towards my mother.
All of this gave her a peaceful passing.
I’ll miss my contact with some of these lovely people.
Hopefully, some will be able to attend her funeral and wake.
Thank you!
It says on the home website they have rehabilitation for stroke victims, yet they had no idea how to cope or look after my father.

It says on the home website they have rehabilitation for stroke victims, yet they had no idea how to cope or look after my father.
My father most of the time was just left in his room in soiled or smelly clothes.
He could not walk or use the loo without supervision so if he rang his help buzzer most of the time he was ignored.
I mentioned it they just put a commode in his room which was hardly ever cleaned and most of the time when I visited was filthy.
I would not recommend this so-called care home. One of the home's managers is just not interested at all in the care of her residents.

Thank you for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our services where required. At Bishopsgate Lodge we always endeavour to meet the individual need of each Resident dependant on their personalised care plan. All staff at Bishopsgate Lodge Care Home have undertaken training to be able to care for Residents with different medical conditions. Our equipment is checked daily before and after use to ensure that it meets the needs of the Residents. We are sorry to hear that you feel we were unable to meet the needs of your Father. During this stay, we would have been more than happy to have organised a meeting where we could have discussed any concerns you may have had so that these could have been resolved.
You took care of our mam so well and we would just like to say thank you all from all of the family.

Lovely caring staff, mam made very welcome and comfortable, staff very polite and professional. Mam was in for respite care after being unsteady and lost some confidence, also severely sight impaired, unbelievable to what she got involved in whilst there.

My sister-in-law came into Bishopsgate five and half years ago, she suffers from a progressive debilitating condition. The care she receives is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. The family are so happy with her care.

Visited my mother-in-law today and her clothing was disgusting, dirty like she has had it on for days. She's walking very poorly and I mentioned on my last visit about her needing a zimmer frame but no one got back to me. She nearly fell coming to see us, she is saying she is not eating and thinks...
