My mother-in-law has been in this care home in Studley for a couple of months.
I always found the staff to be open friendly, very helpful and considerate to all of the residents
I have attended my mother-in-law during some of the activities they hold which seem to go down very well.
I've also
been there at varying times of the day, including meal times. I've always found that the staff have been very attentive and caring about the food that the residence eat.. I found that the quality of food has always been a good standard and I take notice of the menus that they offer daily. I think there's been a good variety of food on offer and all the meals that I have seen have been very acceptable and if a good standard..
The overall ambience of the place is good From the greeting from the receptionist to the conversations with the manageress
I have no hesitation in recommending this as a really caring home.

I can't say how happy we are to find this care home for my dad who has vascular dementia. He's been there a couple of months now and it's taken a lot of stress off us and him. The team are so good there with everyone being so friendly and happy. The rooms are very nicely decorated as is the whole
block. Everyone bends over backwards to help with anything from issues to information, from activities to days out. It takes a certain person to be able to work in these types of environments and Haywood lodge has these people in abundance. So pleased my dad is under their care and I couldn't recommend it enough. Very happy with everything, great service.

Very happy with the level of care and attention. Mum has been very happy at Haywood, and looks so much better now she is cared for there. Would recommend, staff are very pleasant and provide a high level of care, they treat the residents with respect.

I have been my husbands full time carer for a considerable period which presented me with quite a problem when I required a full new knee operation. Fortunately, a close friend recommended Haywood Lodge. This excellent home met all our needs being full respite care for my husband and a wonderful
opportunity for me to convalesce. The entire team lead by Georgia the superb manager were all so professional caring, considerate and in particularly respectful of my husbands dignity which helped us both feel quite relaxed and comfortable. I was particularly anxious about how my 92 yr old husband would settle in a care environment. My worries were dispelled quickly when I saw how gentle and caring the staff were with him and other challenging residents. In early 2026 we hope Haywood can offer the same package when I have another new knee.

Mom's been released from hospital with 6 weeks life expectancy. She has thrived back in her home, she will exceed all expectations, I'm sure, and if she doesn't, she will have had the best care along the way.
The staff are, without exception, amazing, caring and knowledgeable.
Mom couldn't be in
safer hands.

Since arriving at Haywood Lodge, Mother has been treated with dignity & excellent support. She has been given help with her daily care by very friendly & able carers. She is enjoying the social side & joining in activities.
She always compliments the meals & has made new friends within a couple of
days.
I am always met by smiling faces from both staff and residents.
I do hope Mother decides to continue her stay here.

Initial meeting was welcoming and I felt they listened to my concerns. I chose a month's package so I could get respite for myself. They understood his needs and made me feel confident they would be able to manage his health issues. Every visit I made, they gave me information about his issues and
behaviour, and supported me in a very friendly manner. I was very happy he was looked after so well.

My experience of Haywood Lodge has been amazing. The care given to my mum is second to none, everyone is so caring. Always making time to go chat, extra mile to make moms stay more comfortable. I can't recommend it enough.

Haywood Lodge has a real 'home from home' feel. It is beautifully decorated and well maintained. The staff are caring to my mum and myself showing kindness and compassion. The manager has been particularly understanding and has communicated and worked with me to provide the best care and
pro-actively addressed a situation that was a concern and implemented a solution. Hayward Lodge overall has a welcoming environment and I am very grateful for the care and support provided here.

My Dad has had a number of visits for regular respite over the past 18 months and I cannot express how much easier the process is knowing he is going to Haywood Lodge. Rooms are beautifully decorated, light and airy, staff are caring and understanding and take time to understands his needs. They
take into account his routine at home, and try to follow a similar routine. At every request, staff take time to try to accommodate requests to make Dad's stay is the best it can be. Food is of excellent quality, they appreciate that he is only visiting, and accommodate his eating patterns from home so that the transition in and out are as smooth as possible. Haywood Lodge is managed by a great team, led by the manager, who finds time to not only manage the home, but to ensure that residents and families are happy. She will always make time for you and goes above and beyond to make sure that at each visit Dad is listened to and encouraged to make the best of his time in respite.

I would not recommend this Carehome HAYWOOD LODGE to any families that are looking for a Carehome for their loved ones from the experience we had and the care our mother received. l recently found out they have received a CQC rating of Good which l find very hard to accept. We have since moved our
mother to another Carehome in Solihull which is also rated Good there is no comparison it should be excellent. Our mother is a different person since we moved her and is getting the care that she deserves. When choosing a Carehome you need to really do your research.

The manager and her team have been truly amazing. My nan went to Haywood Lodge for a two week stay following a fall. She now doesn't want to go home. She said the food is gorgeous and the staff are very kind and caring. They have taken time to get to know her and really make her smile and laugh!

Staff welcoming and treated my brother-in-law and ensured he was comfortable and know were is room was. We were offered refreshments. I have enjoyed not having total responsibility for his care. He is settling in and enjoying life himself - no longer lonely. He enjoys excellent food and choice of
menu. I have all questions answered. Care is excellent. I will recommend the home to people.

Myself, my wife and my lifelong friend made our visit to see my friends aunt who is also a friend, because of health issues is now a resident in this care home.
From the moment we walked into reception we were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome by the receptionist and every member of the staff
thereafter who we came into contact with.
We found the whole place to be very clean, warm and comforting. My friend, who would obviously rather be back at home, has no complaints regarding any of the staff, facilities, entertainment meals or activities available to residents.
We left feeling very grateful that my friend is in a wonderful care home and would sincerely recommend Haywood Lodge.

Our dad was one of the first residents at Haywood Lodge Care Home when it opened and stayed there until his passing a couple of weeks ago. We felt confident that he was having the most caring team taking care of his everyday needs. They went above and beyond their job duties and operated with
kindness throughout. He was given love and respect by the team and we will be forever grateful to them.

My mom has been a resident at Haywood Lodge since the beginning of February 2024. The staff are amazing, so caring and friendly. I know Mum is receiving excellent care and attention. Thank you.

I stayed at Haywood Lodge for 2 weeks of respite care from Sunday 12th May following a hip replacement operation, knowing that as I live alone, I would not have been able to look after myself. One of the best decisions I could have made, as the 2-week period allowed me to be looked after properly
without causing me any concerns.
From the moment I checked in I was cared for by all the staff in an exemplary way and whether I needed the red button to call upon them or not, they would show up regularly with smiling faces to check on me and see if they could be of any help. This made me feel so good, allowing me to gain confidence.
Food was excellent and extremely varied and there was not one occasion when I was not satisfied with the quality of cooking or service.
I have now been home for a week progressing well, but I know that without the care and attention at Haywood Lodge, my recovery would not be so far forward.
The manager and her staff cannot be faulted and I sincerely thank them.

I am really impressed with the above care home. Polite, and well-mannered. Nothing is too much trouble. Good Food, good varied activities. Beautifully kept. Visitors are very well looked after.

Our 97-year-old great-aunt became a permanent resident in March of 2024 after living in her home alone became too much hard work. After living there for over 65 years it was a very difficult decision, but everyone from the reception, care, housekeeping and management teams made the move so smooth
and effortless for her. She is warm, well-fed, comfortable and happier than we could ever imagine and can be as involved or independent as she wants to be but the knowledge that there is always someone there at the push of a button if needed, is so reassuring to all of us. Everyone is so kind, and friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble plus the regular hair-dressing and chiropodist appointments are a great addition to the normal care you expect to receive in a residential home. Thank you to all of the lovely people at Haywood Lodge for such a smooth and easy transition with the care that is second to none

Mum and Dad moved to Haywood Lodge after a challenging six months. They both have different needs and were tired physically and emotionally. As soon as they arrived, they were made extremely welcome and nothing has changed since. The home is outstanding in every aspect of its work. The building is
attractive and immaculate. The rooms are lovely and the lounges are homely and residents mix freely with each other. The cinema and hairdressing salon are used regularly. The quality of the food is fully appreciated. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the communication between the team is excellent. They are responsive to individual needs and engage with residents with respect dignity and kindness. The activities are regular and varied. The local community is engaged which stimulates the residents. The management is exemplary and well-respected by staff, residents and family members. It is a home away from home. Mum and Dad are safe, well cared for and happy. Thank you.
