My mum has been a resident since November, it was a huge and hard decision for our family to make for my mum. But her care she receives is excellent, the staff are so supportive and really personable. We know our mum is safe and all her needs are taken care of.

I cannot speak more highly of my experience of Abbey Wood Lodge. Having known my Mother-in-law for over 35 years now I couldn't be more aware of just how difficult a decision this has been (for the entire family) for her to have to go into care. It really was the best/only option at this stage. The most remarkable and probably the most surprising thing that I have experienced with Abbey Wood has been the support and extraordinary kindness shown to the entire family. It is abundantly obvious that the staff genuinely care about her as a person which is so lovely to see, their interaction with her is remarkable.. but the care and thoughtfulness shown to our family as a whole has made such an enormous difference and the reassurance given to us that such a loved member of our family is not only being 'cared' for but loved is everything. Thanks to all at Abbey Wood you do a remarkable job.

When the time comes for you to find a place in a care home you will in all likelihood visit several different homes and wanting only the very best for your loved one you try to consider everything you possibly can. In our case out of the 8 care homes we considered it was very clear that Abbey Wood Lodge was where we wanted our mum to go. In truth, like many other people in our situation, we didn't want our mum to go into a care home at all but it was obvious that we were at the point at which it was the only safe option. That was 12 months ago now and all I can say is that although it was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make we are 100% certain that there is no other care home that would/could have offered our mum more genuine love and care. What makes Abbey Wood Lodge so special is the manager and all of the staff..we can't say enough..incredible..and we will forever be in their debt for everything they have done for our mum (and ourselves) at this very difficult time in all our lives.

The home is a lovely place to visit my mum who has been living there for over 18 months now. She is safe and well cared for which is comforting for the family. All staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they understand if mum is having a bad day and always try to make her comfortable. She has options to join in with the activities arranged by the Activities coordinator who is tireless in making mornings/afternoons interesting. When it was Mum's birthday in April, she had a cake beautifully baked by the Chef and we had a lovely little tea party which family members were able to join in. Even staff on their day off came in to wish her happy birthday. I really feel the home is a wonderful community and would highly recommend it.

The staff are amazing and they truly care about the residents. My mum can sometimes have challenging behaviour due to her dementia but they support her with person-centred care and kindness. They come up with individual strategies that Mum responds positively to. The care home environment is spotless and clean and the food is lovely. I felt guilty when Mum had to go into residential care but not anymore as they are caring for her as though she is part of their family. Me and my family will forever be grateful to all the wonderful caring and compassionate staff - much love.

The manager has been extremely supportive in enabling my mother-in-law to have a smooth transition to Abbey Wood Lodge. She and the excellent staff have helped my mother-in-law to settle and adapted to her needs. They are caring and compassionate. My mother-in-law gets involved in all activities and enjoys the company of others facilitated by the staff. Recently the chef made her a birthday cake and staff made a fuss of her. Thank you for going above and beyond.

The activity coordinator had invited us to a father's day afternoon tea. She had gone to great lengths to decorate the room, with balloon displays and appropriate signs, she made personal keepsakes for each father. The food buffet the chef made was delicious and well laid out.
On returning my dad to his floor he was greeted by the carers and given a cup of tea. Many thanks.

Our problem with the home was with the Manager. Due to being so ill and immobile in hospital, my Stepdad obviously deteriorated. The Manager of AWL made the decision to refuse to take him back and then refused to meet with us face-to-face to discuss how to move forward, only changing her mind when we asked about the complaints procedure. One of the reception staff was very stony faced when we went in for the meeting and made us feel uncomfortable when all we were doing was to get my Stepdad the best place for his needs. It was a very upsetting time and we felt that we should have been treated with more understanding and compassion.
In summary, I would only recommend this home for people who are guaranteed not to deteriorate to the point where they are more difficult to look after.
I deeply regret that you feel this way. It has always been my utmost priority to ensure that your stepdad receives the highest quality of care possible. From our perspective, we believed that we provided this level of care. However, after reviewing the information provided by the hospital and...
I deeply regret that you feel this way. It has always been my utmost priority to ensure that your stepdad receives the highest quality of care possible. From our perspective, we believed that we provided this level of care. However, after reviewing the information provided by the hospital and assessing his condition during our visit, we concluded that we would be unable to meet his increased care needs. Initially, I was unable to meet with you due to prior commitments that were already scheduled for the day. However, I rearranged my schedule to accommodate our meeting later in the afternoon. I understand your concerns and apologise if you feel that I let your stepdad and your family down. If you would like to discuss this matter further or have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Your feedback is invaluable, and I am committed to addressing any concerns you may have.
I am extremely pleased with all the carers and their caring ways towards the residents and nothing is too much trouble for them. Everybody I have met is really kind and considerate. I love going to see my dad.

As soon as I walked in the front door of Abbey Wood Lodge I knew it was the place for Mum. The staff are friendly, welcoming and always cheerful. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated and serviced regularly. There were a lot of activities going on in the run-up to Christmas when I visited and I enjoyed participating with my mum. That was a nice opportunity. I stayed for a few meals and the food was great. The staff are very attentive and Mum only needs to ask to get anything she needs. I’m so thankful she is in such a nice place and that she is safe and well cared for.
It warms our hearts to hear about the positive experience you and your family have had since your mum's arrival at Abbey Wood Lodge. We strive to create a welcoming and compassionate environment for all our residents and their loved ones. Building strong relationships with our residents' families is essential to us, and we're delighted to hear that you feel welcomed and at ease.
My dad decided that he wanted to move into the safety of a care home knowing that there would always be someone there to help him when he needed it. I looked around several homes there's always a compromise, so I couldn’t believe my luck when I visited Abbey Wood Lodge. I was greeted by one lady on...
