Lighthouse Lodge

I can not be more grateful for the care and compassion all of the staff that my mother and myself have been involved with have shown throughout. The staff have been so thoughtful and caring towards my mother (and myself). A very considerate and caring team.

On June 7th Mum reached 100 years of age and despite the constraints of the Covid-19 lockdown the staff made the day a very memorable one: A ‘royal’ procession’ down her corridor, with fellow residents forming a guard of honour, to the brightly decorated lounge full of balloons and banners. Lovely food including an amazing birthday cake plus a spot of alcohol! The staff spent time making sure she could Facetime her grand and great grand children and patiently read out her birthday cards to her. They also made us comfortable outside the window of the Foyer so that we could spend a couple of hours celebrating the memorable day with her. We believe the day ended with Karaoke in the Lounge! What outstanding carers Lighthouse lodge have. You could do no better!

As it has turned out Dad`s move to Lighthouse Lodge (the day before my birthday) has been the best "birthday present" that I have ever enjoyed. The staff have looked after him brilliantly and he is clearly enjoying every day with them. In a conversation with him earlier this week he described one of his carers as "a lovely young lady" and that is clearly what she is. I am looking forward to a visit, once permitted, but for the moment have to give the Lodge ten out of ten for their efforts and their kindness to Dad to date.

Our family cannot thank this amazing team enough for keeping our dad and the other residents safe and well whilst we have been unable to visit.

The team at Lighthouse Lodge have been absolutely fantastic looking after both my grandparents. We have been getting regular updates and pictures on their Facebook page during the pandemic, as well as the opportunity to Facetime with them. It is wonderful to see how happy they both are.

I highly recommend Lighthouse Lodge.

We all know at this moment in time how hard it is having a parent or loved one in care, but I can not thank Lighthouse Lodge enough, my dad is happy and he always looks very smart, he is extremely healthy, in fact he looks great. Knowing that he is just fine and getting looked after is such a relief to my family and I, the staff are just amazing. I can't recommend Lighthouse Lodge enough.

Feel very happy that mum is safe and well cared for here. Staff have been so supportive and understanding. They have encouraged mum to join in activities. She is clean, well-groomed and well-fed. Cannot thank Lighthouse Lodge staff enough.

I am so thankful to all the staff at Lighthouse Lodge for looking after my 97-year-old mum.

Our friend is very happy here. The staff are very friendly and kind. The lounge is really good, airy, full of light and with lots of room. The bedrooms are spacious, clean and airy. My friend's clothes are cared for, he is clean, well shaved and well-fed.

Even though I live in East Midlands and don't visit often, I deal with the POA side: fees, clothes, toiletries, mountains of paperwork; I do still contribute to the long-distance care of my Mum. So recently compiled a memories pack for staff, with reminiscence materials and photos etc. Upon learning of my Mum's strong religious faith the Deputy Manager said Mum will now receive weekly in house prayers and blessings. What a lovely touch. I have spoken to just about everyone or emailed them: deputy manager, lodge relations manager, wonderful reception, admin, nursing staff, care staff etc - at Lighthouse Lodge and head office and they have been uniformly excellent: helpful, warm, courteous, very able to sort out complicated administration issues, which I am constantly dealing with. It's touches like this that distinguish an excellent care home and I truly believe this is one. Special thanks to the Lodge Relations Manager of Lighthouse Lodge for all your wonderful help.

The staff at Lighthouse Lodge are wonderful. They have gone above and beyond for my nan and it is really clear that they care for their residents and take the time to get to know them. There are plenty of activities happening each week and with the modern decor, you would never know you are in a care home. In spite of her dementia, my nan has made some friends and is fairly settled at Lighthouse Lodge. The staff go out of their way to make sure my Nan is happy and entertained and I can now sleep more easily knowing she is safe and in company.

It was a very difficult decision for my mum to move into residential accommodation and we looked at many places before settling on Lighthouse Lodge. The extensive activities programme, which includes trips out, was a key factor in our decision-making process as Mum enjoys socialising. It has definitely lived up to our expectations. Mum has settled in well, has made friends and enjoys her fully occupied days. She especially enjoys the trips to the local theatre, pub and cafes and the visits from the local nursery school. The staff seem to genuinely care for the residents, they always make the rest of the family welcome and they don't hesitate to call us if necessary.

My uncle has been a resident for only a few weeks now but has settled in well and seems happy. The home is modern and attractively furnished with spacious en-suite bedrooms and wide corridors. The food appears to be tempting and of high quality. He is sadly unable to appreciate most of these benefits due to loss of faculties, but it is good to know he is well cared for in such a lovely home.

Since moving to Lighthouse Lodge my father's general well being and health have improved immensely. He is in a stimulating environment, with excellent care. As a consequence of the very good food, my father has put the weight back on that he had lost whilst in hospital and at an unsatisfactory care home in Liverpool. Within his first week, my father had his very first Art Lesson with one of the very friendly and capable Activity Coordinators. In addition to the Art lessons, my father enjoys the outings, movie/music afternoons, and the gardening club. He has even been spotted joining in with the exercise groups. He regards all his carers as family and best friends. His dementia had isolated him, but since arriving at Lighthouse Lodge he has made friends and this is a big thing for him, he shares his jelly babies and chocolate with them. My mother is so happy with how his life has changed for the better, and this week is moving into a room on the top floor to be close to him again.

We can't recommend Lighthouse Lodge highly enough. Mum has been a resident since February and her quality of life has improved so much. Mum is happy and contented, her room is lovely, the staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble, meals are delicious and plentiful. There is always something going on, singers, artists, knitting, gardening to name but a few. Lighthouse Lodge has a wonderful family feel and we are so happy we found it and made the decision to move Mum from her old care home.

Very nice how the home's staff gently and genuinely helped mum celebrate her 96th birthday. Also, their attentiveness these past few days while mum has been poorly.

I cannot rate this home highly enough. I am extremely pleased with the care my father has been given since arriving 5 weeks ago. Dad is 90, has dementia and a number of other ailments and is very confused but the staff have been very patient and caring. Liaison, before he arrived, was brilliant and helped to make the move from 200 miles away very straightforward. The home is very modern, spacious and clean. The food is clearly tasty and plentiful as Dad has regained some of the weight lost due to illness and hospital stays. The layout is lovely with plenty of communal areas so there is always a nice place to sit with Dad. Visitors are made welcome and are encouraged to make and share tea/coffee with residents. Access to medical services is made easy by weekly doctor visits and the staff are receptive to ideas to improve the residents health and well being. I finally feel I can relax after months of worry now that Dad is being so well cared for at Lighthouse Lodge.

All staff were very pleasant and helpful and my husband seemed happy to come again.
