I went to see my friend today, and I have to say I thought Humfrey Lodge was absolutely stunning. Such incredibly helpful and such friendly staff, so clean and inviting, beautiful rooms, so airy and light. Lovely dining room, so many activities for your guests to enjoy, I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone! I really enjoyed chatting with my friend in her room.

Having a new manager has changed the feel and experience of the home. My grandmother is well looked after and always clean and well presented. The staff are all very caring and committed to providing the best care possible whilst ensuring their safety, privacy and dignity. Since having new management my Nan's sociableness and well being has improved immensely. I would like to thank all of the staff who go above and beyond for all of the residents.

I go every Wednesday to see my 96 year old friend. I have always had a very happy visit. The staff are great, always friendly, well mannered. The care my friend has is wonderful. I am always offered refreshments. The staff never interrupt my visit as it is very precious to my friend. My friend is very happy in Humfrey Lodge. She loves the activities and different outings they have, she also loves the food and the gentle care she receives. I think it's a wonderful home.

Humfrey Lodge provides a warm, welcoming environment with professional and compassionate staff. My mum was treated with respect and dignity, and the facilities are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. All of the staff are lovely, the place feels like home, and they keep everyone busy with fun activities. It was a huge relief knowing my mum was is in such good hands.

My mother has been in Humfrey Lodge Care Home for the last 5 years, she is very happy and well looked after. The staff treat her with kindness and dignity. They are very approachable and answer any concerns I have regarding my mum. The home is well run due to good management who are always welcoming on arrival. The residents do a range of activities which they enjoy, my mum loves to sing and the staff make a real effort with her.

On our visits over the last year, we can not fault this home in any way, compared to 3 others we have visited over the years! It's out standing in every way! The staff are exceptionally caring and the home is immaculate! Also the residents are kept occupied daily with occupational therapy, which is superb!

Very nice home. Would recommend this home to friends and family. If I was able to choose a residential home, Humfrey Lodge would be the one.

Mum has been at Humfrey Lodge for almost 2 years, she is one of the younger residents at 75, and lives with Alzheimer's disease. Her needs have changed throughout this time, and the staff have supported and cared for her with respect and kindness. There are regular activities, and Mum is encouraged to take part where she can, she particularly enjoys the guest music entertainers, and the family social events, of which there are many. As a family, we have found the Humfrey Lodge to be supportive and they have helped us navigate communication with health care professionals and social workers. They were particularly supportive in the early months of Mum moving, and they appreciate that to move a loved one into a care home is a challenging time for everyone involved. We particularly appreciate being able to visit Mum at any time, and being able to take along our dog, which Mum finds comforting. Mum enjoys the home cooked food, which includes traditional favourites and delicious puddings.

We visit a close friend on a regular basis and from what we have observed is residents are treated well, and there is always somebody that you can speak to or ask for help. It is very clean. Asked about value for money on survey but that is not something we are involved in.

There are no faults with Humfrey Lodge. The staff are wonderful, they help my mum and are really caring, when we visit they are always so friendly and welcoming and tea and biscuits always arrive soon after we do. My mum has the starts of dementia and we find that everybody is so patient with her and treat her with the utmost dignity. Mum thoroughly enjoys the food and activities.

My dad was living quite a lonely life before he looked at the care home. He decided to give the home a 'trial' run, and that was a year ago. He really hasn't looked back since moving in. It has given him a new lease of life, loving all the activities and companionship. The home is spotless and the staff are exceptional; they are professional, very caring and fun. He enjoys the trips out, and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. He is very happy living there.

I have been very impressed with Humfrey Lodge staff. When we first made the enquiry and initial visit they were very helpful. Since my mum arrived they have been very encouraging and supportive. We have some experience of other care homes with different features and this has been far better.

Over the years I have been visiting many friends who have spent their last years within care homes. My friend who has been ay Humfrey Lodge for about 6 months is looked after very well. The home feels very welcoming and the staff are all extremely friendly and caring. I would recommend it to any person in need. Well done.

My mum went into Humfrey Lodge initially for a period of respite care. From the outset, when I first visited to tour the home, the staff were incredibly obliging, helpful and supportive. Mum is now a permanent resident and is thriving in Humfrey Lodge. She has developed lovely relationships with the staff - from the manager to the cleaners and every member of staff is always helpful and obliging. We are so delighted that mum has been fortunate enough to find a place and now settled at Humfrey Lodge.

When visiting a friend in the home, we always find the home clean and friendly. Staff are excellent, always willing to help with a smile. My friend is well looked after, always clean and tidy as is her room. Well done to the staff.

My experience visiting Humfrey Lodge is mainly good although my mother would rather be at home which is probably common but impossible. The care and treatment she receives at Humfrey Lodge is without doubt the next best thing. The management are non-judgemental and extremely helpful. The carers have a very difficult job, they go about their work with good humour, kindness and above all, patience and dedication. Overall the care home is good.

All the staff are friendly, helpful and very kind to Mum. She is happy at Humfrey Lodge and interacts with all the staff. Humfrey Lodge keeps me in touch with Mum's progress anytime she needs the doctor if she has had any worries. This way we can get any problems swiftly resolved. I can't thank the staff at the home enough for their care of Mum.

I spent 6 weeks in Humfrey Lodge, May to the middle of June for care having a broken ankle. All staff and carers were so good and looked after everyone in the home so well. I had never been in a care home before but l would highly recommend Humfrey Lodge. I really enjoyed my stay even with a broken ankle.
