Haywood Lodge

The whole team have been very caring and it's a lovely environment for him to be in.

I visit on occasion with my sister whose next-door neighbour is a resident. I have found from my very first visit that it is a homely, warm place to live, it's not like a home for the elderly. It is almost like a top-class hotel but workers are like your friends. I can't explain it really other than care is utmost. You have privacy in a beautiful room. Everyone always looks happy, their meals smell like a top-class hotel/restaurant, cooked on the premises, where else would you get that? I wouldn't mind living here if there was a need, First class.

Cannot recommend it highly enough.

It's hard to admit you need to put your mum in a home, the minute I walked into Haywood Lodge I knew Mum would be happy there. The staff are lovely, they treat Mum and the other residents as if they are family so caring and loving. I can see Mum whenever I want to, have meals and afternoon tea. Nothing is ever too much trouble! Thank you.

After a day in hospital, my friend had to accept that she couldn't look after herself and, like many people, was reluctant to go into a care home. Haywood Lodge took the time to settle her in and kept me updated with how she was getting on. From the minute you walk into the home, there is a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff are all lovely and give excellent care, with hospitality extended to family and friends. The staff at Haywood even went so far as to find out about my friend's interests and hobbies and established that she had sang with a local choir prior to joining them. They arranged for the choir to come along and give a surprise performance, this made her day. I would not hesitate to recommend Haywood Lodge to anyone.

The care provided was attentive and proactive during the period pf my visits. The atmosphere was relaxed. Staff appeared to have the time to talk to residents and to act on their own initiative, certainly in small matters. The room and common areas were pleasant and of course modern.

We couldn't be happier with the level of care my mother-in-law is currently receiving at Haywood Lodge. The staff are so attentive to her needs. She doesn't want for anything, in her words "they're all lovely, every one of them, they can't do enough for you". The facilities are excellent and there's always something going on to keep them entertained, whether it be a film on in the cinema or a game of Jenga in the lounge.

I have enjoyed my time here and made new friends. The staff were all very caring, in fact, wonderful. Some things need improving, such as activities, but we did have a bout of Covid which we had to be in isolation, therefore, activities had to be cancelled so near Christmas. If need be, I would come back and am seriously considering coming back for respite.

My mum was the second resident to join Haywood Lodge back in May 2022. From the moment she went to live there the place felt like a true home from home - both for mum and for me. Each and every one of the staff were welcoming and caring and treated mum with the dignity, compassion and respect that we'd all want for our loved ones. I was kept informed of everything that went on with regard to the care of my mum, which was very important to me, as I knew that I could relax knowing she was being looked after to the same standards as I had cared for her. Mum, unfortunately, passed away very recently, but she was surrounded every day by all the familiar faces from Haywood Lodge that she had come to love during the last 6 months of her life. I will be forever grateful to team Haywood for everything they have done to help make my mum's quality of life the best it could be whilst she was with them.

Very smooth transition on the first day we placed our father at Haywood Lodge Care Home, Redditch. His clothes were tagged straight away and returned to his room swiftly. Staff were very good, introducing themselves and soon made my father feel at home. Even though he is initially in for respite it was as if he was there permanently in that he felt at home straight away. Also, he has 'dairy-free' requirements which the chef was on point with immediately.

I could go on, but the proof is in the pudding, try it!!

Having to go into hospital for major surgery choosing respite care for my husband was a big worry. After having viewed Haywood Lodge seeing all it had to offer and meeting all the lovely staff I had no hesitation at all in leaving him in their care. He was so happy there loved his short stay and will be happy and relaxed there shortly when I need a break. I would gladly recommend Haywood Lodge, it's home from home and it's in a beautiful setting.

My father came to Haywood Lodge on respite, while my mother went into hospital for an operation. Our experience of Haywards Lodhe was extremely positive from start to finish. Our initial visit was so welcoming and friendly. We were super impressed by the layout, decor and facilities available to residents. It felt more like a hotel than a care home. Dad's visit was only short, but he loved every minute and even said he "didn't want to go home". We will definitely use Haywards Lodge again and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
