My dad has been in a care home for 18 months, and his care deteriorated to the point he was safeguarded. I visited him daily as I was concerned for him. He has moved to Ivy Gate, and within days, I noticed a huge difference. I can now visit him without worrying. The whole ambience is perfect. The staff keep me informed of his wellbeing, and I couldn't fault anyone it's like a family away from home.
Thank you for your kind comments I'm glad you can feel your loved one is in safe hands
Our friend has only just moved into Ivy Lodge and she seems really well and so settled. We know these times are difficult but it is so good see her looking rested.

My father is well looked after by the staff and he is happy being here. Dad was in two other homes before arriving at Ivy Gate Lodge approximately 6 months ago and without doubt, Ivy Gate is the best. All the staff are happy and professional. Keep up the good work.

As soon as I viewed Ivy Gate I knew this was the place for my wife. She is on end-of-life care and everyone is so kind and caring. I always come home after visiting knowing that she is being looked after. Excellent care home.

My husband has been a resident just a very short time but already I can see what an amazing place this is. I have the comfort of knowing that he will be in very safe and caring hands and in a home full of kindness.

Dad has settled in well. Has only been here for two weeks and can already see an improvement in him. The staff made a lovely fuss on his 90th birthday.

Thank you for such a wonderful review. It is a privilege to have partaken in your Dad's 90th birthday celebrations, and we are pleased to hear he has settled in. We hope your Dad continues to enjoy his stay at Ivy Gate Lodge.
It has been lovely to see my father-in-law settle in so well at Ivy Gate. He seems happy, contented and well looked after. Staff have made both him and us feel welcome and reassured.

When I visit my uncle I am always welcomed at any time, I feel supported and have the peace of mind that my uncle is getting the standard of care he deserves.
I have actually told my daughter that Ivy Lodge is where I would be happy if I need care in the future.

My husband has smiled for the first time in months. Rooms and staff are lovely. Burns lunchtime activity and food was enjoyed by all who attended. The bagpipes and excellent bagpiper were a great touch.

My friend was the GP in town, we have been friends since 1970 when he came to work here. He was my husband's best friend. I think he misses my husband as much as me.
