The positive impact on his life has been clear for us to see already it's truly remarkable ,and we are deeply thankful. It's a huge relief to know he's in good hands, and we appreciate the peace of mind that comes with it. Our conversations with him have been truly enjoyable, positive and it's wonderful to see him smile happy during our visits. Thank you all sincerely.
It's wonderful to hear that your loved one has settled in so well and is already having such a positive experience. Thank you for your kind words, we'll be delighted to share them with the team.
All the staff at Adswood have been amazing, from the initial meeting to caring for our son. They have made the process so much easier than we expected. Communication is brilliant, every time we visit, we are greeted like you would a family. We cannot thank them all enough for the care and support given to our son who had HD and also to us. The building is so welcoming and clean - the food is amazing too. We have had the absolute best experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are incredibly grateful for your trust and are so pleased that our team could support your son and your family during this time. Your feedback means a great deal to us.
My sister is very well cared for by professional, caring and compassionate staff. My sister is happy and settled in Adswood Lodge and all her complex needs are met.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're pleased to hear that your sister is happy and settled in her home - we'll pass your comments on to the team!
The manager of the care home always makes me feel reassured and never dismisses my concerns and worries. She is very approachable at all times and has a caring approach to her management style.
Thank you so much for your review. It's great to hear you feel listened to and reassured! We'll pass along your lovely comments to the team.
Visit to see my dad who is 1-1 on Heatons Unit. He looked well. Staff were watchful of him, making sure we knew who was with him and where they would be if we needed them. Greeted by the staff when we arrived.
Thanks so much for your review. It's lovely to see our colleagues are on hand to support when you visit. We'll make sure your kind words are passed onto the team.
Great care home, no problems. Fun to be with, no problems at all.
Hello, thank you for your review of Adswood Lodge, we're delighted to hear that you're happy with the home.
This is a caring, supportive, safe, and resident-focused care home. From the start of my brother's move to Adswood Lodge all staff have looked after him like a family member. Despite some of his challenging behaviour the staff used a caring approach and adapted to his needs. The care home has a positive approach to looking after its residents. The ward is led by experienced managers who are open and transparent in their methods. This care home should be used as a model for other care homes. Well done!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review of Adswood Lodge. We're thrilled to hear that your brother has been receiving the compassionate care we strive to provide. Thank you again for your supportive words and for recognising our team's hard work.
I have been a frequent visitor at Adswood Lodge since my father's partner was transferred from another care home unable to meet her complex needs. This was a very upsetting time and resulted in many hospital admissions. On arrival here, she was immediately assessed and settled, incidents causing distress abruptly stopped. The staff here are proactive, intelligent, caring and professional. They always consider 'what can we do better?'. The managers and nursing staff oversee everything and value everyone; you are listened to. The home itself is welcoming, and clean, and provides excellent facilities. There is a feeling of togetherness. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience at Adswood Lodge. We're delighted to hear that your father's partner has settled in well and that our team has been able to meet her complex needs so effectively. We're especially grateful for your kind words about our staff and their...
