Acacia Lodge

It's a great relief for my wife and I to know she is in good hands because having looked after mum for several years ourselves we know how challenging it can be.

Mum has been resident for 4 1/2 years. During that time any concerns that have arisen have been dealt with promptly and appropriately.

Staff are always caring and cheerful and ready to help. There is plenty of entertainment to occupy the residents, nice touches include visits by children from a local school, which my mother much appreciates.

I would be happy to recommend Acacia Lodge to my friends.

Their kindness, compassion and sense of humour mean the world to my mother and in turn to me.

The staff are nice to me.

Management is efficient, the food excellent and I would not have chosen anywhere else in town.

My mother has been a resident for over 2 years and has been incredibly happy there. The staff are extremely caring and go out of their way to make all the residents happy, comfortable and entertained. The nursing care is brilliant (when required) and there is close contact with an excellent local GP practice. I would always recommend it to all my friends.

The staff at Acacia Lodge were professionally competent and as importantly, personally showed incredibly high levels of human kindness and caring. My Dad was with them for the last 6 months of his life. He was very happy at Acacia and it was a great comfort to me that he passed away peacefully in comfortable and private surroundings with personal care from lovely people.

Thank you, everyone.

All the staff proved dedicated and conscientious when interacting with Mum and she said she was happy there.

Acacia Lodge was the best choice for my mother and became her new home for her remaining years. The staff were amazing - caring, diligent, professional and became her new friends. When her time came, everything was handled with tact and compassion. I cannot thank Acacia Lodge enough for the care they gave my mother and I can fully recommend them for your loved ones.

I find the home welcoming, clean and caring for the residents where information is always available.

My mother aged 88 has been a resident at the above home for over a year. From the admission date to now there has not been a moment of worry. The care home provides superb care in every way which gives me and my three brothers complete peace of mind.

My dear friend and neighbour of 93 years old spent her last days in this truly fabulous care home before she sadly passed away just over a week ago. In the month or so she was there I witnessed so much love and professional care for all the patients at Acacia Lodge Henley. The staff there are led by the simply marvellous manager and all are nothing less than angels. The professional nursing care is second to none - the fabulous lady nurse from South Africa (she knows who I mean ! ha ha) was a huge comfort to the family especially in the hours prior to our loved one's passing. Boundless compassion, care and love is what I associate with this wonderful place

My mother had three weeks respite care at Acacia Lodge following hospitalisation for a fall. Staff were great at encouraging her to get back her mobility and provided great advice for when she returned home. In fact, my mother's mobility was better following her stay than it was before she had the fall. They realised that my mother was not ready for a permanent residency and actively encouraged her to get ready for a move home, supported by a live-in carer.

Staff are exceptionally accommodating and friendly. They met every need my mum had during her brief stay. Their attention to detail makes a big difference and show real care and patience. I will stay in touch with the home and wouldn't hesitate to us it again in the future. Mum felt safe and secure.

My husband, aged 90 was unable to walk, swallow, or speak and paralysed on left side. Only his right arm worked after a massive stroke. He was doubly incontinent and peg fed. The nursing staff and carers all had a sympathetic rapport with him. He could see and understand. They all had a quiet understanding of his situation (difficult moods and pain), spoke softly and he was calmed and comforted. His physical nursing was always gentle and skilled, never impatient. I visited daily and I was struck by the way they all liked one another and worked as a team often in difficult circumstances. He died after 6 months residence with his family present. My son was given a bed during the previous week near him. I cannot speak highly enough of Acacia Lodge and their tender loving care.

I required bathing and dressing on first admission as I had a broken arm. I received very good attention and help throughout my stay, I found all the staff friendly and helpful.

My mother presented with very challenging behavior and physical needs, having been evicted from her previous care home, despite her complex health needs qualifying for NHS Continuing Care. The nursing staff and the management dealt with these challenges with calm, sensitive clarity. When my mother died the conduct of the home was exemplary and her death was managed with the greatest of care and tenderness. I highly recommend this nursing home.
