The care and support Mum and us all received during her time at The Lodge was far beyond any expectations. The thought of Mum in care was very daunting, for her final few weeks, but everyone was lovely, supportive, friendly and made endless tea. During Mum's final days and hours they extended love, hugs and support. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you does not seem enough.
Thank you for your kind words. We are honoured to have cared for your mum and to have supported your family during such an important time. Your feedback means so much to our team, who work hard to provide compassionate and person-centred care. It was a privilege to be part of your mum's journey, and we send our sincere condolences and best wishes to your family.

To search for a suitable care/nursing home can be a daunting task, especially when you want exceptional care. I searched in our local area to allow for short journey to and from home. I contacted Soham Lodge early on Saturday morning and gave our details to the receptionist. The following Monday I was called by The Lodge business management. On Tuesday, my wife had an assessment by a nurse from The Lodge. On Thursday my wife was taken from hospital to The Lodge. Very professional.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.We understand how difficult and emotional it can be to find the right care home for a loved one, and we are truly honoured that you chose Soham Lodge. It is wonderful to hear that the admission process was smooth and that our team were able to support you and your wife so quickly during what was undoubtedly a challenging time.
From your first phone call on Saturday through to your wife's assessment and admission, we are pleased that our staff were able to provide the professionalism, responsiveness and reassurance that every family deserves.
Your kind words mean a great deal to all of us, and we will ensure your feedback is shared with the reception team, care team and business management team who were involved in supporting your wife.
We thank you for placing your trust in Soham Lodge.

We, the family, were kept informed every step of the way, we couldn't fault anything and would thoroughly recommend Soham Lodge to look after a loved one. Thank you all!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Your mother-in-law was an absolute pleasure and joy to care for, and we're delighted to know she is happily back at home.
My Dad went into Soham Lodge 6th February 2026 for end of life care. He had terminal brain cancer meaning he was unable to do anything for himself and needed constant care and monitoring. From his arrival to his passing the care received was second to none. The staff were all superb, showing...
A big thank you to all the staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Soham Lodge Care Home.
Thank you so much for your kind words, although only here for a short while, it was a pleasure to be acquainted with you all. We send you and your family our condolences on your massive loss. A wonderful man
I visited an old mate who is sadly dying of cancer. He has no complaints about being in Soham Lodge. I personally found it most agreeable. The initial aspect was very helpful, and pleasant reception ladies. I joined my friend in a large, clean room with a huge TV. I was offered a cup of tea as soon...
Just like to say I have visited my parents and relations in several different homes in Cambridgeshire. Yours at Soham is the only one that didn't smell really badly from the reception desk onwards.
Many congratulations on that. I really wasn't looking forward to that visit today. No problem for the future!
Thank you so much for your wonderful tribute to our care staff, housekeeping team, receptionists, and the whole facility. Your kind words mean a great deal to us all. We are truly grateful that you took the time to share such a fantastic review publicly, and we're delighted that our team's hard work and compassion have made a positive difference.

My father arrived against my wishes from the previous facility with a temperature, chest infection, operating on one lung, low blood pressure and irregular heartbeat, to Soham Lodge on October 20th 2025. His oxygen level was 69. The staff took immediate urgent action and dialled 999. 7 staff surrounded him, helping him until paramedics came and transported him to hospital. Soham Lodge Care Centre saved my dad's life and continue to help him thrive.

Their swift actions, teamwork, and compassion in those first moments reflect exactly what we strive for, and achieve at Soham Lodge.
It was a great relief to find somewhere so lovely for dad. He was slightly hesitant at the beginning but soon became comfortable. The teams have been so loving and supportive and looked after dad very well. It made the last 6 months of his life very comfortable. Thank you.

My mother went into Soham Lodge 13 months ago before passing away. The care she received was first rate from day 1. One hears horror stories from some care homes but nothing could be further from that in this case. The staff were all superb, showing concern, a willingness to help, please and support and above all, dignity. I have no reservation in recommending Soham Lodge Care Home.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, it means a lot to the staff to hear positive feedback.

All the staff were very friendly, cheerful and looked very hard working. The establishment and my uncle in my view was kept spotlessly clean. I have very high regard for the care home with its facilities and staff in all aspects of their duties.
Thank you so much for you kind words and supporting us with your positive review. Your uncle was a pleasure to care for.
I always find the staff welcoming and helpful. From the moment I step through the front door, there is an overall feeling of calm, friendliness and cleanliness. I also appreciate the gardens around the home. They are lovely and peaceful.

Thank you so much for your kind review. The gardens are beautiful, thanks to our gardener and his team. We are pleased that you enjoy them along with the calm, clean environment of our home.

There is lots of fun and laughter at this care home, and the residents spend their time where they choose, maybe in the lounge, their room or the garden - this isn't a place where everyone has to sit around in a big circle just for the convenience of the staff. There are lots of imaginative activities if people would like to join in, but if they want to be by themselves that is also fine. The home is very clean and the residents are helped to keep fresh and well. I know that my brother is safe and always treated with dignity and respect, and I am always made to feel very welcome. Very good communication between the home and the residents' families.
Thank you so much for your favourable words of appreciation. We are very pleased to see you think so highly of us and it is a pleasure to support your brother. He is a wonderful man with a great sense of humour.

Mum has been a resident at Soham Lodge since April 2024 and we chose this location because of the good feeling I got when I was searching for somewhere for Mum. Immediately I was made to feel welcome by all the staff and I was quickly able to be confident this would be the right choice. After two months of experiencing the care and attention my mum has received, I know I made the right choice. Everyone tries so hard to provide the best of care.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We like to make all our residents and relatives feel as though they are home from home and cared for in a dignified, compassionate way. We are pleased that you chose Soham Lodge for your mother, thank you.

This is the first time I have been a resident in a care home and when I started just over four years ago I did not know what to expect. It has so far turned out to be fairly ideal for my needs and wants, which are a bit complex and a bit extensive at times. Meaning especially, for instance, that I need and want peace and quiet most of the days in order to collect my thoughts and develop notably and recover the best I can from years of being rather mentally ill which were aided and yet very marred by absolutely major tranquillizers and very little female company!
Thank you for your very favourable review and kind words. It is always a pleasure to see you in the day room participating in and enjoying the activities.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our lovely home. Was a pleasure to meet you. You are more than welcome to visit any time, any day.
From what I’ve seen and heard from others who have visited, the Soham Lodgefolk have treated my mother exceptionally well and even got her playing bingo for the first time in 95 years. Thanks very much!
