Staff are only too happy to arrange Skype for me and I know that my mother is truly being cared for, which gives me great comfort.

My mother has only spent one month in Lauder Lodge, following a short stay in hospital. So far, I have been delighted with the whole experience at Lauder Lodge.
The facilities are wonderful in terms of the activity rooms, standard of the bedrooms and outside areas - gardens and balconies. It is also much appreciated that a cafe is available as it provides a separate space to take Mum to on some visits.
My experience of all staff - management, care and domestic staff - has been entirely positive. They are warm, caring individuals who always show an interest in the residents' welfare, but also show a genuine interest in visitors queries.
I am very impressed with the range of activities on offer to residents, particularly as my Mum has dementia and these events help to keep her stimulated.
Thank you to everyone in a special team of people working at Lauder Lodge.
Everything runs very well. Always treated very well. No faults, very happy.

I think the cafe provision is excellent, allowing visitors to meet with residents out of their rooms and also providing space for visitors to reflect whilst remaining nearby if needed during a period of their relative's decline.
We have been very happy with the level of care given to my mother-in-law. All of her needs are very well attended to.

My dad moved in about 8 weeks ago and the environment, care, food, facilities and activities are superb. The home is beautifully decorated and laid out with a homely feeling. All the staff are professional, helpful, caring and genuinely seem to enjoy working there. Nothing is too much trouble and dad has settled in quickly.
The activities on offer are superb and he is learning new skills as well as keeping up old ones. The management, staff and organisation seem to have a forward thinking and proactive approach to caring for the elderly. This brings peace of mind to family and friends.
Well done Lauder Lodge and your hard work is appreciated!
Lauder Lodge is a beautiful new care home which my mum moved into when it opened in early December 2017. The rooms and facilities are of an excellent standard with wonderful friendly caring staff making the move for mum easy and welcoming.
Great food too!

This has got to be the future of care homes - everything is so different! The best words I could use to describe this way of living is the feeling of being in the most caring village possible. If you are in sociable mood, there is always a friendly face just waiting to be with you, share interests with, and accompany you to the wide variety of entertainment provided, or if you are in a quieter mood you can retreat to one of the many lounges, craft rooms, private cinema, reading rooms, dining rooms, cafe, outside seating areas or of course your own private quarters where you can relax and put your feet up. Your guests can join you whenever you want, friendly faces everywhere, just ready to help with anything, as nothing is too much trouble at all! Sincere thanks to all staff for giving my lovely friend her life back.

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!
