We did have quite a few issues initially with laundry which now seems to have resolved itself, but at the time was very stressful. Whilst the food is very good and nutritious and care is taken when presented to residents - it does seem that what is advertised is often not what is served to residents
and sometimes it is not just one course but all three - which is disappointing especially when you discuss prior to dinner what the person is going to be eating on that day. On one occasion my father was given a corn beef sandwich despite the fact he is a pescatarian- when we enquired about it a response by one staff member was "he chose it". We did feel that we needed to point out that my father had dementia and although he might have chosen it he would not really know what it was and felt that more care could have been shown in terms of encouraging a different choice. As a consequence the sandwich was not eaten which meant he didn't have lunch as he didn't like it.

Fountains Lodge is modern, airy, light, clean and well laid out. The staff are very professional, give good feedback, are very caring and observant. The activities are very varied, the food excellent, and the gardens safe and well laid out.

We have just recently moved my father in-law into this home wow what can I say , it's the best thing we ever done , the staff go out there way for residents and their visitors . My father inlaw was very distressed what with moving one home to another . Fountains has regained his confidence which we
are so pleased . Thank you so much to each and everyone of the staff

My mother-in-law has been living at Fountains Lodge for nearly 3 years. She arrived in a very poorly state and since that day, with the care and expertise of the staff, at nearly 88 is in the best spirits and health she can be at this great age! She is happy and content and considers Foundtains
Lodge as home, and is always happy to go back after a day out with the family. We cannot thank everyone enough for their love, respect, care and fun, which makes Fountains the lovely home it is.

Can't fault the home in anyway.
Top class. All the staff are brilliant with the residence and visitors.
Rooms brilliant. Food looks amazing.
Clean throughout the home.
Gardens are lovely and looked after.
I have no negative to say about this home.

I moved here over 2 years ago.
I love my own ensuite room with patio access to the garden. I am content and happy.
The staff are very attentive and caring. I have made a circle of friends with whom I dine daily and enjoy my glass of wine!
I thoroughly recommend living here.

Lovely to see resident dancing on their fun day. Having ice cream from the van. Staff dressed up with masks, etc, taking photos and encouraging residents to sing along. Excellent afternoon. Well done.

Mam seems to have settled into Fountains Lodge, although her memory and understanding of what is happening is deteriorating quickly. The staff seems caring and compassionate, and if there is a problem, they will try to deal with it.

My mum has spent 3 months at Fountains Lodge and we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care she has received there. All the staff are very warm and welcoming and she has been very happy there. I am extremely thankful for all the support I've received as a relative and wouldn't hesitate to
recommend Fountains Lodge to other families.

My mum-in-law arrived at Fountains Lodge in February 2024 after a very stressful few weeks in hospital only to be told she sadly didn't have long we were lucky enough for a room becoming available and close to family too. The care home itself is lovely, it's bright, plenty of space, the rooms are
decorated nicely and it was clean. We settled my mum-in-law in and staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful and kind too as obviously it was stressful for everyone. Well 15 months on and we have sadly just lost my mum-in-law so that time originally given went on far longer than was expected and Fountains lodge became my second home, as visited most days. The staff have been outstanding, not only looking after their resident but us as a family too and right up to the very end their kindness and support has meant a great deal. They have kept us informed right from the start and provided outstanding care from the nurses, carers, catering staff, activity staff to office / reception

I am extremely happy with the care my dad has received at Fountains. He is happy, content and settled, and when I visit him, he is always excited to tell me what he has been doing. The warmth of the staff, along with their caring and professional manner, is first class. They are supportive of my dad
and welcoming and friendly to me and my family. Would recommend Fountains to anyone looking for a care home.

All staff are extremely caring and are genuinely interested in what makes the residents happy. The home is kept very clean and the meals appear very nutritious. Safety is paramount and residents are treated with respect

Caring staff, lots of stimulating, entertainment, nice building with lovely gardens. My Mum is as happy as can be there. She enjoys the restaurant style meals shared with her friends...new ones each visit. All staff really engage with her. We are really pleased with the ongoing care and her home.

My mother has been a resident for 4 months. Initially, she wasn't happy being in a care home. The staff have had to deal with her difficult behaviour and abrupt treatment towards staff. She is settled now but doesn't want to participate in any activities. The staff have tried everything to coax her
out of her room. My mother is a very difficult person, and they have been working with her.

Mum has been at Fountains Lodge since 2022 due to her complex physical and mental care needs. The care shown has been exemplary, and I have nothing but praise for the nursing staff. The facilities are always clean and well maintained, and the staff show genuine concern for the wellbeing of the
residents. I wish all care homes were this good!

Cannot fault the kind and patient staff, great facilities and comfortable accommodation. The team work hard to make every day interesting and it's great to see my Dad feels truly at home, joining in with activities, enjoying the garden and loving the food. Thank you Fountains!

Fountains Lodge is a warm and welcoming place where my mother in law feels comfortable and safe. It is reassuring for us to know that she is well cared for and settled. The staff obviously know the residents well and engage with them in a kind and caring way; a friendly word or a gentle squeeze of
the hand means such a lot to mum. We couldn't have chosen a better place.

Christmas Jumper Day. I had a lovely morning with Mum at Fountain Lodge today. There was tea, mince pies, lots of selfies, and laughs. The staff put a lot of effort into the day—everyone had a Christmas jumper on and was very good at making residents feel special and have a good time.

My mother-in-law settled very quickly. She enjoys her room and the many activities. Staff are happy caring and very knowledgable and always have a smile. The home is clean and feels more like a hotel than a care home. We enjoy walks in the lovely garden and drinks in the relaxing reception/cafe
area. Residents are put first and foremost, and we can relax knowing that she is safe and being cared for.
