Prestwood Lodge

After my mum broke her wrist, she wanted to try a home. We chose Prestwood Lodge. We were very impressed with the home, the surroundings were beautiful, very clean and comfortable. Mum was most impressed with the food. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Prestwood Lodge.

We can’t thank them enough.

I will forever be indebted to everyone at Prestwood.

My father was cared for with respect and dignity. The staff were professional, friendly and supportive. The staff were cheerful and took time to sit down and chat with my dad, someone was always popping their head in the door to check if he needed anything. His room was always very clean, as was the whole home. There were activities planned all the time, the staff made a real fuss of my dad on his birthday it was very touching.

I found the staff to be loving and very supportive of my mother (and my family) as her needs changed. They did their very best to care for her for as long as possible, and I will always be very grateful for that.

My aunt, who is 101 years old, is now a permanent resident. Communication with the care home is excellent. We are kept fully informed and included in her life at Prestwood. She enjoys the food, the care, the company and the activities programme. We are always made very welcome and enjoy visiting her in this warm and friendly environment. We would have no hesitation in recommending Prestwood to anyone who was considering a care home placement.

Sadly Mom passed away in May 2023, at where Mom truly considered her home, Prestwood. The team were incredible. The compassion they showed and the care they gave could not have been bettered. I am so glad Mom was able to spend her final years at Prestwood.

The rooms are spotless, the menu provides a nutritious selection and portions are generous.

The individual en-suite rooms are beautiful, including the views. Residents aren't pressured into joining activities, mum can choose what she wishes to join in with and can still enjoy having her hair, feet and nails done by visiting professionals. Thank you to the whole team, for working to run and maintain a quality home whilst keeping mom safe, healthy and comfy.

I selected Prestwood Lodge as a final home for my mother. It proved to be an excellent choice as the manager and all staff were indeed wonderful. The cleanliness, facilities and general care given here were the best that I could wish for and believe me my mother wasn't easy to please. Everyone there was patient and nothing was too much trouble. Prior to finding this home, I had looked at many care homes and my mother had spent 2 months in a very expensive so-called luxurious home but Prestwood proved so much better all around. If you are reading this and wondering should I try for your relative, don't hesitate, it is a superb home from home establishment.

Mum loved living here and made many friends. She especially enjoyed the activities: quizzes, crafts, chair exercises, parties, trips out for fish and chips and ice cream, pickling onions, barbecues, visits from singers and local school children etc! The staff became her good friends and there was always lots of fun and laughter. The food at Prestwood Lodge is delicious and when we were out Mum would check her watch because she didn’t want to miss dinner. In the summer the residents can choose to sit outside under large parasols. There isn’t a bedtime. There’s no, ‘it’s 8.30 let’s get everyone to bed.’ Each resident chooses when they wish to go to bed and a couple will sit up late sipping a sherry. Wonderful! I recommend Prestwood Lodge without hesitation.

My Grandmother came here for respite October 2019 for a couple of days following a fall. On collection my Nan has enjoyed her stay so much she asked if she could stay longer. My Nan feels very safe, extremely friendly staff, fantastic food and great facilities. My Nan was never fond of care homes but this is exceptional. We as a family have complete peace of mind and reassurance she is receiving the best possible care. Can’t praise the staff enough. Many thanks, your help and support are very much appreciated.

But after a couple of days, she was getting about fine with her frame. All down to the excellent work by the staff.

causing any unnecessary alarm to my Mother.

The family will be eternally grateful to the home for caring for her with so much affection.
