I can't fault Signature South Lodge and I have used this care home twice for respite and know the staff very well. The food is good and plentiful and I can't fault the care. I will be returning in the Autumn.

Outstanding facilities. Flexible charging: pay for the amount of care and size of room/flat required. Comprehensive activities programme, user involvement, stunning restaurant and garden. Clean, quiet, well maintained, friendly residents and staff. Seemingly let down, when my mother lived there, by...
Some problems less in their control, eg building layout, pressure on local NHS, corporate brand at times seemingly more concerned with presentation than fitness for purpose. My ratings relate to Mum's time there.
Meet the general manager and ask how they would respond to any concerns or feedback before it becomes a complaint.

Met recently with this relative before the date of the review, some 9 months after his mum had left our home. He was given the opportunity to discuss his concerns and his thoughts of how to report them.South Lodge are very proud of our nursing team who have a wealth of experience within general and mental health nursing. They work closely with our large dedicated care team and are all supported by the management team 24 hours per day.
We have a manager available on site every day (including weekends) for a face to face meeting.

There is always staff on hand to deal with any emergencies or just the normal mishaps that can occur and they keep the same staff on each floor so the residents get used to them.
Security is good and all visitors are checked and sign in and out, together with cameras in the corridors. The gardens are well laid out to encourage walking and sitting areas as well as gardening activities. The meals are well balanced and cater for individual needs. The state of cleanliness is very good and staff are continuously maintaining a high standard in common areas and all rooms are cleaned daily.
Lovely.

As a retired full-time hospital and nursing home Chaplain and visitor of many years, I would like to compliment staff and management of South Lodge for their excellent care of their resident's body, mind and spirit. Of body: individual nursing and personal care and monitoring; of mind: regular visiting of residents and spoken to them in their degree of illness and encouraging residents to join in with the many activities held daily and meet other residents; of spirit: respect of the various faith traditions and offering religious services to the individuals to attend. The Lodge offers an atmosphere of well-being, care and health.
Very pleased with the service. Staff are friendly.
