Lydgate Lodge

Every staff member at Lydgate Lodge has shown extraordinary care, respect and love for our mum throughout her 7 yr living here. The money mum has had to give to this big conglomerate however, is disgraceful!

Mum and dad have been cared for by Lydgate Lodge for the past 15 months. Dad passed away on the 11th September their conduct throughout those difficult weeks was exceptional. They distracted mum by involving her in activities and cared for dad in a kind & respectful manner. They have very caring staff and an amazing Entertainment Director, in Zoe. She helped the family in many ways in the last moments of dad's life & after he passed. Thankyou to all of them.

Following hip operation, I needed rehab for short term recovery. It was a daunting experience, but having been settled in with aid from staff I mingled with other residents, joining in group activities. I am very independent, exercising daily, walking around the corridor and garden, chatting to all. I am pleased to be able to return home, many cannot have an experience!!!

Absolutely love this care home. The staff are fantastic and my husband is so happy there. A special mention to Zoe for all her hard work and amazing ideas, honestly there is a constant stream of entertainment and activities which are so varied and always Fun! just like the latest 'Super Hero day' which saw staff and residents dressed up and Zoe made sure everyone had a fantastic time! What a star!!!

Mum came to Lydgate Lodge 3 years ago when she was no longer able to stay in her own home and needed 24hr care. From the moment she started living there she was treated with the utmost love, care and dignity. They gave mum as much independence that was safe to do so and as her health deteriorated they were able to offer her more support as it was needed. Towards the end of her life the love and care they showed was exemplary not only to mum but our family too. I would highly recommend.

Lydgate Lodge is a super place and the staff are amazing! We visited Mum last Friday on Super Hero Day and had a lovely afternoon with entertainment, food and lots of fun!! I cannot thank the staff enough for the love, care and support they give.

Lots of activities to do, lots of fun to be had.

My wife spent 14 nights at Lydgate for respite care to allow me to take a holiday. I found the management to be professional and staff friendly. The whole atmosphere was excellent and welcoming.

My mum initially went to Lydgate Lodge for respite care due to the progression of Alzheimers greatly affecting her safety at home. Every aspect of mums stay has been a positive one. Each and every member of the team are just wonderful and do an amazing job. They are warm friendly and approachable. They know my mum so well, she loves to have a cheeky chat with them! I am confident & happy that mums needs are met with care, compassion & dignity. The wellbeing of families & loved ones are also met with thoughtfulness. The management deal with any issues promptly & professionally. Each event is extremely well managed. The effort to make them special is amazing. My particular favourite was Mother's Day. It was such a lovely day. The decision to make mum a permanent resident was the toughest thing I have ever had to do. A year on, I know it was the best and right & only option for both mum & myself. A massive THANK YoU team Lydgate. You're all stars in my eyes.

Mum is extremely happy at Lydgate Lodge & the staff do a wonderful job - a special shout out to Gave, Liesel, Karen, Stella, Stacey, Mel, Jenny, Peter, Donna - they are all like family & provide her with excellent care.

Visited for Mum's 94th birthday. Lydgate Lodge could not have been more helpful, baked a birthday cake etc. Great to see mum being well looked after and more alert and reactive.

I enjoyed my respite stay. I wasn't always able to participate in the activities and I am unsure why.

Having spent almost 3 years in Lydgate Lodge Care Home mum sadly passed away on the 29 May 2026. It was so lovely to see both staff and other residents at mum's funeral yesterday. The care that she received at Lydgate Lodge was fantastic. Many of the carers became her friends and she looked forwards to the daily and often cheeky interactions that took place from both sides. As mum finally started to slip away they treated her with sensitivity, dignity, respect and a deep sense of compassion. Many of the staff were as distressed by her passing, as our family was. Those staff who cared for mum, throughout her stay at Lydgate Lodge, should be so proud of themselves for the care that they gave her, which was filled with love and selflessness. They were all a credit to their profession. Thank you. x

Thank you to all.

Very caring all round good care. Attention to detail on family names was amazing. Particular interest taken with now on friends already in the home. Appreciate their care and value their service and would recommend to others.

The welcome we receive each time we visit is excellent. The staff are so helpful- nothing is too much trouble. In fact, they go above and beyond! There is so much going on here, Every day something new and exciting happens. The residents always look so happy. The residents are made to feel extra special on their birthday- they even get a wonderful cake!

Mum has been a resident since November 2025 we have been very impressed with the care provided at Lydgate Lodge, nothing is too much for the staff, who go above and beyond to ensure all mums needs are met. The surroundings and furnishings are very comfortable and good quality but most important of all, mum is very happy living there. Another important thing to mention is the entertainment there is an excellent entertainment itinerary, Zoe works very hard to ensure there is a varied itinerary.

The entire staff at Lydage Lodge has been excellent. The patience and sympathetic nature of all staff cannot be higher. The dining, entertainment likewise. But above all it is the staff who deserve all the praise (the business end of elderly care) from both of us- many thanks to all. My wife Pauline has loved every minute of her stay.

Lydgate Lodge had really nice 'feel' about it from my first visit. The staff are great and always had time for a chat it I ever needed to ask anything. A big positive was the consistency of carers I got to know them on first name terms which made it so much easier on some pretty tough visits. Nothing is ever perfect but the manahement were always open to listening to any concerns, although it was only a few months of care we couldn't wish for a better final few months for our loved family member.

On my first visit to Lydgate to look around I was very impressed by the home and friendliness of all the staff. Offered a drink and biscuits on arrival. The whole building back inside and out is immaculate. Everything shown online and in the brochure is true unlike some homes. Did not hesitate to allow my ex along with his sister to go into Lydgate to be cared for. He is settled and very happy.
