Bury Lodge Care Home

Bury Lodge look after my mother well.

I have been impressed with the kindness and professionalism of staff and the company in the nearly two years my mum has been here. My mum is very comfortable here. On the occasions when there has been a concern I have been kept informed and I feel confident she is well looked after.

Her close family are very grateful to Bury Lodge that we were able to continue our busy lives, knowing that she was well cared for and happy. We were always made welcome when visiting - able to make ourselves a cup of tea/coffee or have lunch with her in a private dining area. We were told from the outset that we were visiting our mother 'in her home'. Staff were always extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Bury Lodge.

First-class care provided by very caring staff. Always very good at keeping me updated concerning medical issues and appointments. The food is very good and my aunt seems to enjoy it. The activities are excellent and very well run. The residents clearly enjoy them and take part with enthusiasm.

Take care and stay safe!

I placed my mother here for respite care whilst we waited for another place at a care home, where we knew the manager, to become available. After four weeks I decided to make my mothers stay permanent as she was settled and very well looked after. The staff are excellent, patient and friendly and this is especially important for my mother who is suffering from huge memory loss. During the COVID-19 outbreak the management acted quickly to lock down the care home very early and that contributed to a very secure environment for all residents and prevented any potential catastrophe. Whilst my mother is oblivious to her location and whereabouts, I am comforted by the fact that I know she is being very well cared for, especially as my visits have been significantly reduced. You could not wish for a better care home.

Bury Lodge has given my father a new lease of life. He is properly washed, dressed, fed and safe, in a homely environment with friends who have become like family. Staff are kind and caring and have worked heroically during the COVID-19 outbreak to minimise the impact on Bury Lodge. The home is spotlessly clean yet comfortable. He is happy and content, so I could ask for no more.

Since COVID started they have been incredibly careful and protective of their residents and staff. I feel safe in the knowledge that they are doing everything they can.

Bury Lodge was the perfect Care Home for our mum after she broke her hip at age 96. She never wanted to go into a home but it was not an option. Bury Lodge supported and encouraged Mum and also got her eating again. She participates in and enjoys the daily activities in this light, bright and cheerful home. Unfortunately aged 97 she broke her other hip and we were told by the hospital physios it was unlikely she would ever walk again. Bury Lodge took her back and confidently told us they would get her walking again and to our amazement they did. With the care and kindness of the staff we cannot speak highly enough of the way they are looking after our mum. In this present climate of Covid 19, the staff are doing an amazing job trying to keep everyone safe and stimulated and well looked after. We as a family very much appreciate all their hard work.

Mum moved in about five months ago and is delighted. The rooms are spacious, bright, modern, airy and clean and the home is lovely inside. She has furnished her room to her own taste. There are several lounges/meeting places where she can sit and read, watch TV, play games or have family and friends pop over. There are activities every week, almost every day, and she is able to pop in and out as she pleases, knowing that when she gets back home, there is always someone there to help and assist her. The food is good, and although there could be more fruit and veg, the menu is easy to digest and seems to suit everyone. The manager and her team are very kind and supportive and will always work to find a solution for anything that may crop up. The location is ideal, close to everything in town and it really feels like home from home. After living with us for ten years, it has been really reassuring to know Mum will have the help she needs but still be close to us.

My aunt was one of the first residents of Bury Lodge in May 2016 and unfortunately, she died there in August 2019. She loved every single member of staff there, regardless of their status or position and in turn, they all showed her great care, support, kindness and friendship. Full marks to the manager and her team. I highly recommend Bury Lodge as an exemplary care home and am very grateful to them.

Bury Lodge is an outstanding example of the very best in care homes.

My mother lived at Bury Lodge for the last 2 years of her life and passed away in hospital, she was 92 years of age. During her time at Bury Lodge she was happy and it was regarded by her as her home. The carers showed her respect at all times, but also they had fun together. She was very well cared for and made many friends.

Bury Lodge has been an excellent care home. My father, unfortunately, died there recently but the team have been excellent. I cannot fault them. He was given the best attention and the care was of the highest standard. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you so much.

In his last days, this care was even more devoted and extended to his whole family which made a difficult time a little easier.

For the two years Dad lived at Bury Lodge he was very happy and well cared for, we couldn't have asked for more.

Mum had a moment and couldn't be woken, staff called an ambulance. A member of staff called me at work, she delivered the very difficult circumstances to me, that mum was unresponsive, for such a young lady this must have been difficult. Two other staff members took charge and gave us direct advice. We cannot praise the staff enough at Bury Lodge. Mum is very happy here.

The care is excellent and my mum seems very happy.

Impressed by standards in all departments. Staff were very efficient and friendly. Very well run and smoothly run. Clean, well furnished with attention to details.

Resident's wishes always observed. Choice of meals and food well presented, good and well cooked.

A very pleasant and restful atmosphere.

Overall, I was extremely happy with all aspects of the home. I found the staff extremely caring and helpful. The food was very good, my only criticism is that sometimes there were not enough green vegetables.
