Barchester Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home

My father moved into Avery Lodge in December 2015. He had always said he did not want to go into care, but after his latest heart attack, he was very frail and nervous and he realised he could no longer look after himself at home. From day one the care and support he has received has been excellent. The staff are always attentive and encouraging, nothing to is too much trouble and have even managing to get him to join in with some of the social activities, which he has never done before. He quickly settled and accepted Avery Lodge as his home. My father recently said himself that he could not get any better care, and that it is a lovely relaxing place to be. He is happy and treats Avery Lodge as his home.

We visit several times a weeks and we are always made welcome and feel totally relaxed sharing the home environment. It is a great relief to us to know that he is safe and well cared for. This is an excellent care home and I would recommend to anyone.

I have lived here for over 5 years and i have loved every minute of it. There's always so much going on and the staff always have time for me. Big and spacious rooms, very clean, lots of different choice of food and drink.

The home is very welcoming, very clean and bright. All the areas are well kept. The staff are all very polite, helpful and caring and can not do enough for you. They are very attentive and are always organising lots of activities.

When first entering the home I was greeted with warm energy from the receptionist. I was offered a drink while I waited for a member of activities to tell me what I would be ding. While working with the activities team everyone was really friendly and helped me wherever possible. when I had covered a few hours on my placement, I was allowed to lead an activity. If I ever got stuck or needed help the carers were on hand helping myself and all of the residents who were in the activity. everyone is really caring and supportive.

The home is always clean friendly an very welcoming when I visit. All staff are a credit to the home who seem to take real pride in where they work an jobs they do. Well done to all associated with Avery.

Mum first went into Avery Lodge for respite, not something mum or the family wanted but important for mum's health and safety. We have all been overwhelmed by the care provided. The warmth and friendliness of staff has been exceptional and mum has settled to the extent that she is highly likely to remain there. She raves about the food (thank goodness, she is gaining weight) and participates in the activities. We arrived once to find her having a facial and another time covered in paint following an art activity. She's definitely a late developer (years spent bringing up a family and caring for others) But right now she seem s to be having a great time. Brilliant news.

I find the staff very caring and very helpful in everything. A lot of activities are always happening to keep patients occupied and the place is well looked after in all departments with good atmosphere.

Lovely care home. Residents appear to be happy and relaxed. staff are very attentive and genuinely care for the residents. The home is well looked after and always kept well and presentable. Staff can never do enough for residents.

I come here to see my sister-in-law who has enjoyed being here. Everyone of the staff are very helpful and nothing is too much for them. They make me feel welcome. I am pleased with what they are doing to make my sister-in-law very happy.

A really warm and friendly place to be. The staff can't do enough to make you feel welcome and residents always seem really happy to be there.

My grandma is well looked after, the staff are both helpful and friendly and the entertainment that is provided is enjoyable for the residents. The food looked lovely my grandma thoroughly enjoys the food.

Very welcoming and the staff were great and vary caring. The residents seemed to love the food. Everybody is so friendly and the home is very clean. People at reception are very nice and willing to help with any questions you may have.

My relative came to Avery lodge for some respite and when I visited I was amazed how much the home wasn't like a care home the decoration was tidy and clean it smelt fresh the care was phenomenal and the activity programme was fantastic it reminded me of a hotel hands down the best care home in Lincolnshire.

More like a HOME than care home, always a helpful and friendly welcome from reception staff. The staff always seem willing to help. Lounges and general residents areas clean well decorated with a calm and relax feel, with plenty of activities available, the large garden is also always well maintained.

Wonderful setting and environment, excellent quality of care and only positive experiences when I visit my friend. I Would not hesitate to recommend Avery Lodge to anyone needing to find a caring, warm home of the highest standards for their loved ones.

Lovely home and staff would recommend to all. Kept my relative entertained, well looked after and the environment clean every time I visited. Both myself and my parents never had any complaints at all!

May I take this opportunity to thank all the staff who work tirelessly every day to provide this home from care centre.

My dear friend is very happy and said everyone is very kind and helpful.

I found Avery Lodge to be a really friendly and welcoming place. The staff were really helpful. The food looked lovely and the residents seemed to love it. I was particularly pleased to see how well the staff care. They were really good and engaging the residents. A lovely place to have visited.

Very well situated to Grantham town centre.
