Camberwell Lodge Care & Nursing Home

My mother-in-law died here this afternoon. I feel the need to report on the kindness and thoughtfulness we have all received. From a care standard point of view, every time we have visited, unannounced, she was clean, tidy, warm and well tucked up, with lighting/tv appropriately set. They cared for her, and us, with the utmost kindness and sensitivity.

There’s not one thing I can fault. I'm very grateful for all the support and help given to my mum by all staff at Camberwell Lodge.

Within a matter of weeks, both have been regained and she is enjoying good nutrition and personal care, including a professional hairdresser, and enjoys the therapeutic activities she attends on a daily basis. The family have been welcomed to join her for meals in very pleasant surroundings. We would particularly like to thank one member of staff and the Customer Relations Managers for all their support help and advice.

My mum had a two week respite stay at Camberwell Lodge following the death of my dad. Mum has advanced Alzheimer's. I thought Camberwell Lodge was excellent and I visited every day over the two weeks so had plenty of chances to see things in action. The staff are kind and good-humoured. The place is bright and airy and thoughtfully designed. Mum had a ground-floor room facing the garden with her own patio table and chairs. She enjoyed the weekly yoga class, a visiting entertainer and pizza-making. She thought the food was great, especially the profiteroles. I was very impressed by the people, staff and residents, the level of care and the general buzz of the place. The staff looked after my mum, who was dealing with a great deal of change and also supported me in my efforts to support Mum following Dad's death. The Dementia Nurse was attentive and wise and the customer relations manager was always a phone call away. Highly recommended.

My aunt's room is clean, modern and has everything she needs including a fantastic shower. The food is good and plentiful, she enjoys her cups of tea and cake. She has even managed to put on some weight which is hugely beneficial. She has settled in quicker than I expected and seems happier than she has been in years.

My mother-in-law has been at Camberwell Lodge for a month. The home is spotlessly clean, the staff can’t do enough for you, the food seems to be going down well and her room feels like a nice hotel! Such a change from the hospital environment. In the month my mother-in-law has been at Camberwell Lodge she has been given her dignity back, she looks and sounds so much better. The staff make time to address her needs, she is clean and well fed, she is engaging in many of the daily activities and generally getting some quality of life back. She has been seen by the Lodge’s GP, had her hair cut, been encouraged to get out of bed and take part. Her grandchildren enjoy visiting. I can’t thank everyone enough. A real find, so much nicer than any of the other nursing homes I looked at.

I am so pleased to have found Camberwell Lodge Care Home for my dad who is in his 90's. The care home have taken the time to understand my dad's needs and preferences and the staff (carers, nurses and activities staff) look after him very well. Finding a care home can also be a difficult time for the family members too - which is why I have been so grateful to the customer relationship manager who has provided me with support and reassurance too. Dad's room is lovely - spacious, comfortable and decorated to a very high standard. The food is great and I especially look forward to visiting dad and enjoying the delicious array of cake and coffee with him. The cheerful and welcoming reception staff interact with the residents too and are a pleasure to engage with. It is a relief to see dad settled and happy.

Mum has been at Camberwell Lodge for over three months and she is comfortable and content. And I know she is safe.

I thank God that my sister is now a resident in Camberwell Nursing Lodge, she had been moved from two previous homes that were dreadful. The building itself is beautiful but more important are the amazing staff, professional, kind, caring and very supportive, I would like to thank each and every member for all that they do for my sister and the family.
