My Father in law was well cared for and was well loved by all the staff.
The meals were well cooked and varied with a well planned menu
The activities team were hard working and always had a daily plan for the residents.
My Mother in law was welcomed any time to spend the day and was able to have
lunch and tea and biscuits in the afternoon, watching telly and joining in with any activities.
This is a brilliant well run care home and we would have no hesitation recommending it to anyone.

My wife has dementia and other health issue. She entered Lavender Lodge over 18 months ago. I have nothing but praise for the home and people who work there. They're all committed to treating the residents (and family and friends) with kindness and dignity. It's a demanding job and they do it
admirably, whatever their role: carers, nurses, chefs, kitchen staff, health and wellbeing team, maintenance - and any I've forgotten to mention. Food is of a high standard. The place is clean. A full schedule of activities is provided - everything from quizzes to shows with a variety of live performers and outdoor activities when weather allows.
The family made the right choice in Lavender Lodge.

My sister has now been in Lavender Lodge well over one year. We feel the home has been well chosen, having spent many months looking at nursing homes in our area. The move from the nursing home on the IOW was a big step for my sister to be nearer her family. My sister needs high ended care and is
bed bound which this nursing home is able to deal with, many of the staff have worked here for many years. Care and attention is excellent and always treat my sister with the highest respect. I find the staff very friendly and helpful at all times I visit the home many times a week at different times of the day so I can see how kind and caring the staff are who are around to check all is well. I have been made to feel very welcome myself each time I visit, always ask if i would like a cup of tea !! It is a great comfort that my sister is being very well looked after, thank you Lavender Lodge and staff.

The home is fantastic and could not ask for anything else for dad. Great job team ! But did ask for ramp out to Veranda area to be looked at as it's rotten and not screwed in anymore. Was told people were coming out. To look at it but it's still the same . This is not a moan just a health and
safety reference.
But your care for dad is 200% now he is on the first floor. X

I am so happy with this care home, who looked after my dad so well. The staff are so helpful and caring. I was upset when he first got there because he had always lived at home and not anywhere else. Thank you everyone for looking after him.

Mum came to Lavender Lodge in March 2024 and has now settled in.
The care and nurse staff are all friendly and helpful to Mum's needs.
The activity ladies have been great with Mum and nothing is too much trouble when visiting with young members of my family to keep Mum and them amused.
The food
is good and no trouble to make an alternative meal if Mum doesn’t like the menu for the day.
The manager and reception team are friendly and welcoming to our and mum's needs.
All in all is good.

The staff and management have been fantastic from the start. My dad is well cared for and has settled in better than we ever expected. He is extremely well looked after, involved in lots of activities, and loves being at Lavender Lodge. Could not be more grateful for the care and support in what was
a difficult move.

Three of us (1 family, and 2 friends) explored care homes in the care and chose Lavender Lodge as being most suited regarding cosiness and friendliness. When he came in he was in a poor state mentally and physically. The change in just over 2 weeks is incredible - clean, well-fed, less confused,
mobile and accepting of his new surroundings (although missing his own home)). We have always felt welcome here and it's such a relief to see our friend recover his faculties. Next step - improvement in his hearing.

The care given to our friend shows in the difference and improvement we see in his general attitude, mobility and personal cleanliness. The staff were very friendly and helpful to both him and us. A lovely care home.

My cousin has been in Lavender Lodge for nearly three months and the care she has received is excellent. She is very happy there and I cannot fault the home in any way. The Manager and office staff are very helpful and supportive and the nurse and care staff are excellent.

Mum is so well cared for and loved by all staff and carers at Lavender Lodge. She is totally dependent on others for her care/nursing care and is treated with respect and compassion. As a family, we have no complaints at all.
26 February 2024
The staff at Lavender Lodge have shown fantastic care and understanding for both my parents. They were particularly caring and sensitive around the time of my dad's death and showed real empathy and support to me and Mum. I know that Mum is well cared for and safe which is a wonderful relief, I no
longer constantly worry about her well-being and safety all day! The activities provided seem to be appropriate for Mum in terms of her dementia and she is able to access them at her own level.

Lavender Lodge is the most friendly and caring place, they look after our dad so well and we enjoy going to visit him weekly.
The team of carers and office staff are all so helpful and they do so much interaction with all patients and celebrate birthdays and other events with such fun.
The food
is cooked fresh every day and we are able to have meals with Dad if we wish to.
A fantastic place.
12 February 2024
All the staff at Lavender Lodge are conscientious, warm, caring and thoughtful. You're always greeted with a smile and any query you might have is looked into and answered in detail.
The food is good and plentiful. My cousin is settling in well and all his needs are met. I'd like to say a big
'thank you' to all the staff... You do a wonderful job.

First time I had visited a care home. Welcomed with smiles and shown to friend's room to celebrate her birthday. She looked so much healthier and happy, even dancing to music! The staff were so lovely, made her a cake which we had with tea. The few patients I passed on the corridor stopped and spoke
to me, all seemed happy! One of them stroked my hair and said "it's like silk!" I wish! Well done to all of you. Keep smiling.

Moved my mother to Lavender Lodge Care Home last year and have been delighted with this exceptional care home.
Professional and caring, my mother is in excellent hands.
The food is excellent and when I visit, the customer service is world-class.

The team at Lavender Lodge Care Home look after my mum the best they can and make her comfortable under her circumstances, especially two members of staff in particular.
We can't thank them enough.
26 September 2023
Great place to be. All staff are helpful and understanding. I would greatly recommend Lavender Lodge Care Home to friends and family.
08 September 2023
As my wife is unable to communicate, I can only judge her satisfaction as a resident by her facial expressions which are very favourable.
Being a frequent visitor, I observe all the staff to be kind, hard-working, and helpful.
