Our son spent 2-years in a care home in Devon, where his conditions deteriorated. He was so excited to go to Soham Lodge. He was visited by the manager and the team, who outlined their plan for him in the coming months. A healthy diet, a suitable bed and regular physio. This was exactly what he'd been promised and didn't receive at his then-current care home. He realised it would be a long way for us to visit him but would be happy with daily contact with us. He settled in very well and loved it. Phone calls/Zoom, he was more positive and happy than we'd known in a long time. Sadly, he developed a recurring infection and had to be hospitalised. While in hospital his condition gradually deteriorated, and he passed away. We contacted Soham Lodge, and they invited us to view his room and were so kind to spend time and talk with us about him. The owner, manager and the staff we met were kind and caring. We can't praise them enough for giving him hope.
Thank you so very much for your kind words. Your son was such a lovely young man, and although he was only here for a short period, he touched many of our hearts. He will be very sadly missed for a very long time.

My review relates to Jan 2022, my mother's last month before she passed away after five and a half years as a resident at Soham Lodge. My first impression when I visited the home in July 2016 was that it was clean, tidy and smelt pleasant; this standard continued for the whole five and a half years. My mother had server dementia, and despite being a very feisty and at times, an awkward person, was always treated with respect, dignity and included in all the activities that she could take part in. Despite her complex dietary needs, every effort was made to give her varied food at all times, day and night. When the time of her passing came, she was able to pass peacefully and with dignity.
Thank you so much for your very kind words. Your mother was definitely a character to remember, and she will be remembered very fondly - RIP.

My uncle spent most of the last 10-weeks of his life being cared for at Soham Lodge as he suffered a very aggressive throat cancer at the age of 97. The care he was given was of the highest standard. The staff truly respected him and gave him unlimited and very professional attention.
Throughout his decline, he had a regular flow of visitors, who always felt very welcome and were briefed meticulously as to his condition and how problems were being dealt with.
Our family wishes to thank the management, nurses, carers and admin of Soham Lodge. God Bless.
On behalf of all staff at Soham Lodge, thank you so much for your time to complete a review for us, and thank you for your very kind words.

Nothing has been too much trouble throughout my mum-in-laws stay. Covid precautions have been stringent in order to keep the residents safe. Information about my mum-in-law has been given on a daily basis and visits easily organised. The activities for residents give them regular purpose, motivation, and enjoyment. The staff work really hard to maintain this and treat my mum-in-law with care and compassion.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We look forward to being able to welcome you and your family in the home as normal (pre-covid).

She has been looked after and cared for very well and I have been able to monitor her on a daily basis.
My mum has settled in very well with the support of the staff. My mum seems very happy there which helps me as I know she is being looked after 24/7.
I very much like where my mum is but would like to see her room as at the moment we only get to see her in a designated room.
It’s good to see mum do activities that she has not done before.
I would like to thank all the staff for the kindness, patience and support for my mum they are all really great.
Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you into the home as we were able to, pre-covid. Thank you for your understanding in keeping your loved one and our home safe during these turbulent times.
I’m happy throughout the pandemic, she was safe and happy, even though it was hard not being able to give her a hug; we still had Zoom, and now I can see her. I might get to see her in her room as I’ve not seen...

Thank you for your kind words. It has been very difficult for all family and friends of our residents due to the restrictions of COVID. We really appreciate your support in the past, and going forward, keeping your loved ones as safe as possible. There is light at the end of the tunnel, so hopefully, very soon, we will be able to open the doors, and you will be able to visit gran in her room.

The entertainment in the care home is engaging and fun for the residents.
The communication and effort from the staff to family members are also phenomenal.
Thank you, Soham Lodge.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Always a pleasure to see your smiley nan in the day room and enjoying the activities.

The staff are amazing, very caring and they go above and beyond. The activities are many and various, run by a woman who seems never to stop in her work to keep the residents happy. Probably the best thing that I can say is that if I had to go to a care home myself, I would have to insist that it be Soham Lodge.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is a pleasure to have your wife with us.
Ever since our father came to the home, he has been so happy. There are so many events for him to take part in, he seems to do them all. It's so nice to see the care and attention he receives. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff.

Everything is kept scrupulously clean, at the same time homely.
There is a beautiful dining room with table cloths and napkins and the meals always look so tasty.
The staff work so hard caring for our loved ones. There are always plenty of activities running throughout the day and they often have live entertainment for the residents. My father loves the singing and often gets up to dance.
I know I have no worries as my dad is well-fed, well-groomed and well-loved by all of the wonderful staff.
So grateful to you all. I love your Facebook page where we can see what you have all been up to every day.
I would unreservedly recommend Soham Lodge as a centre of excellence.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home, and with such positive, kind words. It is great to see you back volunteering here again. Thank you for all your help and the tasty coffee break treats for all the staff.

Knowing our mum is at Soham Lodge makes us all feel so happy, she is so very well looked after and cared for. The carers are totally proficient and professional in what they do and the Events Manager is just so innovative and remarkable in all she does to maintain the good health and mental well being of all the residents. The staff at reception always have a smile for you and make you so welcome. Overall it is a lovely, well furnished, light and airy home and our mum loves everyone who takes care of her.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. It is a pleasure to care for and support your smiley Mum.
Everybody works so hard. So well done to all!

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate it and look forward to you visiting us you did pre-COVID.
The care my parents have received has been second to none. I cannot fault any part of the care or any of the staff.

From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the right place for Dad. Scrupulously clean, nicely decorated and furnished, lovely and light. The care and friendliness were always there - everyone welcomed and helped us. We struggled to get the NHS to release Dad but Soham Lodge supported us all the way. Sadly he only lived for 10 days after we finally moved him in but it was absolutely the right place and we have no regrets for our choice, just warm memories of peace, care and being in kind, expert hands. I recommend Soham Lodge wholeheartedly.
Kind regards
Although my husband was only at the Lodge for a short time ( he recently passed away), all of the staff from the cleaners, nurses, kitchen staff everyone who looked after him treated him with care, respect, understanding and kindness.

Thank you so much for your consistent 5*. We are all very pleased to hear how happy you are with our home and it was a pleasure to have met such a wonderful family

I cannot fault any of the staff involved. They also supported me throughout the difficult last weeks of his life. I could not have asked for more.

My mum needed respite care and from the original phone call, I can only say the Lodge has been excellent. All staff have treated my mum with the utmost respect. My mum has enjoyed the food and says it has been of good quality. She hasn't been involved in any activities because that is not her. But on looking about when entering it looks like all the residents are very well catered for.
My father lived at Soham Lodge for almost 6 years and in all that time he was treated with dignity and could not have had better care. As a family, we could not have wished for a better place for dad to live. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone there and wish them all the very best.
