I immediately felt happy Lauder Lodge could provide the best care for my mother. The staff without exception are wonderfully cheerful and positive,but also kind and compassionate towards both my mother and myself. They have helped immeasurably in calming her down, including even helping with navigating my visits with her dogs which must be inconvenient when they are so busy. Chelsea has even taken her for walks with her dog Louis. I am always greeted by smiling happy faces from front of reception extending upstairs including housekeeping , and catering staff.Jackie and May are so kind keeping me up to date with any concerns and best ways to manage her care.She has a packed activity schedule and even an in house hairdresser and optician. I am so impressed at the unwavering patience of all the staff in dealing with residents with so many different needs . And finally my mother herself has nothing but praise for everyone here. It feels like a five star hotel,not a care home.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We’re delighted that you and mum feel so happy and supported at Lauder Lodge. Your kind words mean so much to our team and we’ll be sure to share them with everyone.

Moving into a care home is a significant life change for both resident and family members. It is a stressful transition both emotionally and due to the administration to work through .

My family were involved and we were all delighted with how welcoming and caring LL feels.

I cannot speak highly enough of this care home. From the very first visit to then bringing my grandma, it was clear that the staff genuinely care about the residents and go above and beyond to create a safe, welcoming, and homely environment. The team are not only highly professional but also incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. It's reassuring to see such genuine compassion in everything they do especially for my grandma. There are plenty of activities and social opportunities for everyone and my gran absolutely loves it. The communication is excellent, and nothing ever seems like too much trouble for the staff. Choosing a care home is never easy, but this place has been an absolute blessing for me, my family & definitely for my grandma Knowing our loved one is safe, comfortable.

The care my Mum receives is excellent and she has nothing but good to say about her experience there.She tells me she feels like she is living in a 5 star hotel rather than a care home.
On a personal level I feel confident and happy my mum is receiving the level of care she needs. I am contacted immediately if there are any concerns, or to ask my opinion on issues.

I’m a qualified nurse and have worked in a children’s clinic as well as in older people’s care. Joining Lauder Lodge has been very exciting for me: commissioning a new home is a challenge, and the whole team has worked closely together to create a wonderful home from home.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know the team in the process, identifying their strengths and using them to everyone’s advantage. I’m enjoying watching the team grow while providing exceptional service and tailored care for every resident.
I’m infamous for my sweet tooth, so I particularly enjoy afternoon tea time, when I can spend time with the residents, sharing stories and memories over a cup of tea and, of course, freshly baked goodies!
Outside of work, shopping is a guilty pleasure of mine, followed by coffee dates with friends – usually just an excuse to get the biggest cake on display!
