Brize Meadow Lodge

My mother has been in Brize Meadow Lodge for nearly three months having respite care, prior to us moving her to a retirement apartment. We have been very happy with most aspects of the care home and even my mother, who has always been hard to please, has been unable to find fault. The only area for improvement would be communication. Acknowledgement of emails would have been reassuring and there were times I should have been informed when something had arisen. Would have liked regular care updates and Mum would have appreciated more organised trips from the care home.

I was extremely impressed by this care home on both occasions that I visited a friend who is a resident there. It is a very welcoming environment in terms of the very pleasant decor and furniture. The level of quality of care was excellent as far as I could see. I was amazed that meals are served to visitors at no extra charge - and they are very good too!

There is something happening most days which Mum enjoys, and I am enjoying seeing my mum again as a daughter and not her carer any more.

From pre-respite to the present day, they could not do enough. In fact, have gone above and beyond. The only reason they haven't got 100%, is I can't believe any place could be!

Well done team and thank you.

Excellent care manager, staff are excellent, friendly and caring. Food great. Good staff.

Having had a distressing experience with a care home where my husband (who has Alzheimer's disease) stayed for respite care, I was reluctant to place him in residential care. My opinion changed when, on the recommendation of one of my husband's carers, my daughter and I visited Brize Meadow Lodge. As soon as we arrived, we had good vibes about it. After one week of respite care, we could see that he was being well looked after. He has now been a permanent resident for 3 months. We are very pleased we made this decision, as he looks well and content in their care.

Kind Regards.

Can't fault anything about the care home and staff. They are all so friendly and caring. The home is always welcoming and clean - smelling lovely, unlike other homes we visited. Mum is looked after really well and is great at coping with her dementia outbursts.

Thank you on behalf of all our family.

It is like a hotel. We are well looked after. Staff are all very nice, kind and helpful.

Lovely, welcoming home. It feels like a luxury hotel with very friendly staff. A beautiful place to spend your last years.

I cannot thank the amazing team enough for what they do.

When my Father in Law moved in the staff couldn’t have done any more to make him feel welcome. As a family, we were also made extremely welcome and have been 100% involved in his care. The accommodation is stunning. My Father in Law is extremely comfortable. All his needs are being met, beyond expectations. The catering is excellent, visitors are able to dine with the residents which is lovely. Regular trips out are arranged, together with activities within the home. As a family we would 100% recommend Brize Meadow Lodge.

The care home seems to be well organised; they have many activities for the residents, and the food is excellent. The resident's rooms are clean and tidy at all times, and their laundry is done for them. They have their own cinema so they can watch films.

Mum has been a resident of Brize Meadow Lodge since April. She has settled in really well. All staff have been extremely welcoming and attentive. It was a difficult decision for her and us, moving from her own house to Brize Meadow and she is very happy and was so very quickly, to call this her home now. She is delighted with her room, very homely, especially as we have been able to bring some of her furnishings and outdoor plants here. She is so much more engaged, her memory seems to have improved and she is walking much better as there is plenty of space. We think with the continued interaction, both with other residents and staff, she will continue to thrive. This was absolutely the best decision!
