Mum has Alzheimer's and the staff at the care lodge have been amazing with her. She had such a positive time we decided to extend the respite and hopefully we can have her there full time in the future.
thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We are so pleased your mother has settled with us so well after her initial respite stay and so pleased you have decided for her to stay with us for the foreseeable future.
This is an amazing care home. Beautifully decorated and laid out. All the staff are very friendly and extremely caring to residents and family members. Mum is very settled in the home and my Dad visits about 3 times a week, he is made to feel very welcome.

thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We are so pleased you mother has settled so well with us here at Charlton Lodge and that your father is able to visit her regularly and be part of our extended family.
Even before moving in, the staff had shown nothing but respect and care for our family. They are clearly in the right job!

The home is amazing, so clean and very posh. We are always made welcome when we visit.
We missed the grand opening, but the pictures look great. We are looking forward to seeing what they put on for the residents next!
Keep up the great work.

I felt the care team were interested in her, and they made the transition from home to care home so easy for me and reassuring for mum.
The furnishings and facilities are second to none, and the cafe is a wonderful temptation in between meals.
We have no hesitation in using the home in the future, knowing how wonderful Mum's care was.
thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. We are so pleased your mother enjoyed her stay with us and also that she asked to stay a few more days at the end of her initial respite period - we look forward to welcoming her again next month.

My former partner stayed at Charlton Lodge for the whole of January 2025 whilst her permanent live-in carer took a well deserved and overdue holiday. I visited her several times in this month, and was always impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of every member of staff that I met and talked to. The facilities are excellent for both resident and visitor. The staff were attentive and professional with my former partner at all times, and she was happy and contented whilst at the home. I would be very happy for her to stay at this excellent care home again.

Staff always very welcoming whenever I visit, always offering refreshments, very kind and considerate. Facilities look very homely and residents appear very well cared for. Have been regularly visiting a friend, who is now a resident, and also recommended the facility to others, with another friend recently attending the stroke sufferers get together and my mother in law attending the dementia cafe / get together, both thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

My dad suddenly became quite unwell and I quickly had to find somewhere for him to be cared for. I looked around a few of the different homes in the area and I just got a good gut feeling as soon as I walked into Charlton Lodge. One staff member greeted me and was super friendly and gave me a detailed tour around the place answering any questions that I had. All of the staff that I've met have been very welcoming and have looked after my dad by putting his safety and best interests first. The manager has been very attentive at what my dad needs to make his recovery as quickly and smoothly as possible and has been amazing at keeping me in the loop as I don't currently live in the country. I could not recommend Charlton Lodge enough!

The care home is beautifully furnished and modern. My grandmother is extremely happy with the staff and services. All the staff are very friendly. They all have a personal relationship with residents and provide excellent care. It is very clean and tidy. In the summer it will be beautiful, there are plenty of outside spaces that allow for privacy. Would highly recommend.

My mother recently went to this brand new care home becoming their first resident. Due to a fall some 3 days prior to the agreed date of her moving, I had to ask the staff if it would be possible for my mum to be admitted straight away rather than going to her local hospital. They couldn't have...
The care and management teams have been unbelievable since she arrived, and within a few days you could see the improvement in my mum's mind and general well being.
She seems so more like her old self with a smile on her face and has so much to talk about, she loves the company and the beautiful surroundings of this "5 star hotel".
You always worry about the effect a move like this can have on an elderly dependant, but upon review it has been the best thing for her. I feel confident that she will be well cared for,which is piece of mind for us all.

It is a beautiful home. Everything has been carefully thought out and facilities are second to none.
The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. They are very approachable and attentive. They care for not only the resident, but their family members too, ensuring everyone concerned is completely satisfied with all aspects of the care being given.
I am happy because my mother-in-law is now safe and exceptionally well cared for.

I’m excited by the challenge of working at a newly commissioned care home.
A good Home Manager needs to be calm, patient, proactive, and empathetic. I understand through extensive experience that the small details make a huge difference. I’m always happy to talk through any questions or concerns residents or their families have.
I value being a trusted face within the home and the wider community. I like to get to know everyone I meet, whether it’s residents, families, colleagues, health professionals or entertainers. I enjoy these informal moments and these conversations are what hold a home together.
I ensure the home offers a safe, stimulating, and fun place to spend time in. It’s a place where CQC standards are maintained or exceeded at all times. My priority is to create an open, positive, and inclusive atmosphere. A home that advocates dignity, independence, choice, and self-fulfilment for all residents.
I strive to ensure my team always provides the professional and empathetic care everyone deserves. Under my leadership with a previous team, we won the ‘The Team of the Year’ and ‘West Berkshire Business of the Year’ awards.
I’m married with two grown-up children and I’m a keen runner. I love walking our dog or enjoying chilling out with a coffee after some retail therapy.
