My sister was assessed as needing 24 hour care in January 2025 and was placed at Pulsford Lodge. From my first visit (the day she moved in) it was obviously a friendly and well run home. She has settled in well and has a lovely room with garden and countryside views. The staff arrange activities
every day and occasional outings which she enjoys. She has said how nice it is to have all her needs cared for and I am happy for her in her new home.

I will never forget their kindness and understanding. It was possible to sleep, knowing that they were looking after him. Thank you to an amazing team!

Mum has been a resident at Pulsford Lodge for nearly 2 years and is very happy, enjoying the food- joins in the daily activities is well cared for. Staff have always a cheery smile to welcome any visitors. The bedroom is comfortable and light and airy, plenty of space to find a corner to have family
around. The staff and care team provide a wonderful service to help mum feel safe happy and well cared for.

The staff were professional and gave me confidence with the care provided for my mother. The facilities are clean and welcoming.
Personal care afforded to my mother is very good. The meals provided to her are nutritious and a plenty.

My mother has been a resident of Pulsford Lodge for the last 18 months, during which time the level of care and support she has received has been excellent and she has, very importantly, always been treated with dignity. Her room is of a good standard and kept clean. The food is well presented with
good selections. Activities appear to be plentiful and very well planned. All dealing with management have been extremely positive and financial matters have always been dealt with in a very professional way.
In summary, an all-round excellent care home, which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone without reservation.

My father went to Pulsford Lodge in March 2023. The level of care was fantastic, he was looked after so well by all the staff, the kitchen staff, the activities ladies, the nurses and the carers, sometimes they all went above and beyond his needs. The food was amazing and would always get him an
alternative if didn't want what was on the menu (although he ate most things) At the end of his life all the staff were so kind, providing us with tea and food if we wanted it. I would highly recommend Pulsford Lodge.

Our mum was becoming more and more incapable of living at home due to dementia and for us as a family, it was a great relief when she was admitted to Pulsford Lodge in August 2023. The staff are caring and capable and always welcoming when we visit. Mum is well looked after and supported. The
activities are interesting and stimulating and the food looks good. Overall and excellent home-from-home!

Pulsford Lodge offers an amazing care service. We participated in seasonal activities (salt dough decorations) as well as being surrounded by Christmas decorations and festive cheer being December. It was fantastic to see everyone involved and included.

We attended the Easter fete.
All the staff were friendly, however not much going on for children.
Gran enjoys the activities.
Children were welcomed and involved in truffle-making activity when visited at Christmas.

My mum moved into Pulsford Lodge last August when she was finding it harder, and wasn't safe to be living alone.
I have been so pleased with how well she has settled in. I think this is mostly down to the staff at Pulsford. I can't fault it in any way. They are all so friendly and welcoming when I
visit. It is always so clean. The food always looks good. It has a homely feel about it. All the residents seem just as happy as Mum, and I enjoy my visit.

After a fall last year, my mum had respite care at Pulsford Lodge - the whole experience was fantastic. Staff, cleanliness, food - superb. Mum did come home, but now does one day a week at Pulsford Lodge with a view we may increase this - we are receiving the same first class we had previously
experienced.

I have nothing but praise for the staff. My sister-in-law requires an enormous amount of patience which is extremely difficult when they are short-staffed. In my experience, those that deal with her are always kind, understanding and thoughtful. Her room felt rather small during COVID, but she seems
to feel secure.

Staff are welcoming and polite. Care home gives a warm pleasant atmosphere.

I have enjoyed my time here, but I do feel more carers are needed at times. The people (residents) and staff are friendly, and I feel I've known them all my life. All the staff are helpful.

My Mother was at Pulsford Lodge for a number of years. She loved her room, enjoyed all of the activities. The staff were kind considerate and caring. The home and her room were always clean and tidy with a welcoming atmosphere. We could not be more happy with the way she was looked after. I would
have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Wonderful caring home.

We think staff have done remarkably well during the pandemic. The care given to our mother has been wonderful. Again our thanks to you all.
22 April 2021
I have been pleased, impressed and reassured by the way Pulsford Lodge staff have cared for my mother during Covid times when I have not been able to visit. The staff take the time to keep me informed of my mother's health and about how the care home has been fairing. Thank you all so much.
My only
suggestions for improvements would be for residents to be able to contribute; such as food preparation and for there to be hens in the garden.
