My godfather came into care Jan 2006. He has been here before for respite. When it was time for full-time care this was the only place that we wanted him to come to. As a retired nurse and ex-matron of a nursing home I am aware what standards of care are. Picktree Lodge has an excellent ethos with excellent standards of care and a homely feel. The carers are all great. Most importantly Jim is happy here.

I particularly wanted to highlight the Family Fun day which took place on Bank Holiday Monday. This was very well organised and you could feel the fun& laughter in the room which was lovely. The residents were all very much included and relatives were made to feel very welcome too.
I usually visit when the weekly quiz takes place on a Thursday teatime and it is refreshing to see how residents are able to participate at a level which suits them and are all made to feel valued
well done :)
