My sister has been at Melba Lodge for many years, and she has shown so much improvement. She laughs, communicates well, her hygiene is 100%. Melba Lodge feels like a home, and not a clinical place. She has built friendships with the other residents and never once came to me with complaints of being ill-treated and she is not one to hold back if there was cause for concern! I am 100% happy with the care received from Melba Lodge.

The staff and management have told me how important it is to learn about coronavirus and how to take care. The staff are very kind and the food is lovely. I enjoyed going to the shop last Tuesday for shopping.

My service user absolutely loves going to Melba Lodge. She loves the friendliness and all the attention the staff give to her. She even goes for the day sometimes and loves going to meet the manager. She comes back so happy and plans when she is going to go again.
