Mum hasn't been here long, but has been treated really well and likes all the staff. Hopefully, she will be up and about a bit more to be able to enjoy the facilities. Thank you to all.

My dad has settled well into the home. The staff from my perspective are very helpful and kind. The home is well maintained and doesn't have the feel of a traditional care home. There is always plenty going on throughout the week to keep people entertained. One improvement from my dads perspective,
would be to have more staff on duty after 8pm as this leads to delays on being attended to.

My mum spent 2 weeks at Middleton Lodge on respite. She had a fabulous stay and was so well cared for and took part in all the wonderful activities. Alll the staff are so friendly, warm and caring. Mum throughly enjoyed all the meals and pottering in the lovely garden. It is such a fabulus home that
Mum is considering moving in.

Since my father has been a resident here at Middleton Lodge, his dementia has changed so much for the better. He's so much happier and keen to interact with staff and other residents. Everyone I've met or come in contact with staff-wise is incredible. So happy and glad my dad is spending the
twilight years here in such a wonderful, caring and professional place. Can't thank you all enough.

Thank you to all the staff for helping us to celebrate my mother's birthday today.
We were blown away by all the love that you showed to Ann and a special thank you to Jodie for looking after us so well.

The care my father received at Middleton Lodge was excellent. My father was suffering with dementia and moved there in March 2025 following a hospital admission and it was no longer possible to keep him at home. He was a resident for 6 months. He was treated as an individual with immense kindness
and respect. The staff are very friendly, devoted to the people they care for and deal with difficult situations in their stride. There are a remarkable range of activities organised for the residents. It is a very 'active' community, just look on social media, but it is still possible to find a quiet lounge when needed. The building itself is very warm and welcoming. It is new build and therefore specifically designed. The rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean. Thank you for exceeding our expectations.

I was a service user for 10 days respite care. The home itself was extremely well decorated and clean it was a pleasure to move round the many sitting rooms and corridors.
The garden area was lovely to sit in and nice to sit and get some fresh air.
The food was excellent with a good choice and
range of meals together with a variety of fresh fruit.
Finally the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
A very enjoyable respite care stay.

From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was number one and very much cared for. I was very happy there and very well fed. I couldn't fail anything during my respite stay. Having the cinema there made it a doubly enjoyable stay.

I am so impressed with the experience my husband has had this time in respite. He has been involved in so many diverse and interesting activities, which have kept him stimulated and occupied. He seems to have enjoyed them all, including games in 'the men's room'. I know he appreciates the support
and friendliness of the staff, as have I. I particularly appreciated the email updates. It was also useful to see photos of my husband happily participating (on social media).

I am very grateful to all the staff at Middleton Lodge for the care they have given to my mother. They provide world class care and enthusiasm ably led by the manager of the home. The staff are engaging and continue to encourage my mother on a daily basis. Accommodation is excellent as is the food.
Staff are extremely welcoming to family members. The manager has been a previous healthcare professional and this is reflected on the high standards of care.

My experience of respite care was generally really positive, especially as I arrived from hospital around 5:00pm on a Friday evening. There were so many issues - a) Due due to my medical condition I needed a special diet, it took several days before I could explain this to the chef. I was concerned
until when I was making a fuss b) over my 2nd weekend, my strong pain relief almost ran out and I had to manage with paracetamol which was far less effective. An oversight had led to it not having been reordered earlier. The activities, the friendly yet professional staff, and the opportunity for privacy if I wanted it we welcoming. The hospitality was good.

The whole team works as one to provide care for both the resident, the family and residents friends. The building, carefully thought out design, complete with luxurious soft furnishings and cleanliness is an equally match with a 5* hotel. The wide corridors which is a must with the variety of
transport vehicles available today and is spotlessly clean and safe. A quiet lounge is easily found as there are so many to choose from, and the garden room is our favourite. The main focus is to ensure that new residents settle into a change of circumstance with as much help as required from the Manager, one of the Activities Coordinator and, the Administrator. The laundry system works well and is well manage. The activities are designed to have fun, laugh and inclusive for all. There is no divide between the floors and when accompanied, the beautiful gardens are available. They are quiet, sheltered with a variety of seating despite only being open a couple of years, they look mature.

Our mother moved into Middleton Lodge Care Home in June, 2025, and we couldn't be more pleased with the decision. We chose the Lodge not only for its superb location in Littleover Village but also because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere we felt the moment we walked through the door. The staff
radiate kindness and compassion, creating a genuine sense of care that flows through the plush carpeted hallways and beautifully decorated lounge areas. It's clear that the team truly enjoy their work and interact with residents respectfully and warmly. The weekly activities on offer are both varied and engaging, including a gardening club, bell-ringing demonstrations, and even building projects. These activities focus on encouraging social interaction, learning, and togetherness. The Lodge has far exceeded our expectations, providing a caring, engaging, and vibrant community where our mother feels safe, valued, and most important - at home.

Mum has been living at Middleton Lodge since November 2023 (18 months). The home itself is just as beautiful as the day she moved in and is maintained to an excellent standard. The lounges, libraries, restaurants are all beautifully appointed with luxurious soft furnishings. Public rooms and
hallways are carefully themed, which promotes great conversation and memories.
The staff are the heart of this home. Every member of the team from carers to kitchen staff, from reception to house keeping, carry the same work ethic - placing the individual at the centre of everything they do. Exceptional people, who always find time to share quality moments with their residents.
Activity and Wellness play a huge part of daily life at Middleton. Residents can do as much or as little as they choose; something for everyone. The variation of activities and events is extensive. You only have to browse the Facebook page to see how much goes on. A personal highlight was the Mother's Day Tea Party.
17 June 2025
Having to put my father into care was a difficult thing to do and from the first communication, the staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. My father has received exceptional care in a beautiful home where he has been treated with respect, dignity and kindness. This is an amazing place
that is led very well. As I say to my father, 'I'd like a few weeks stay here!'
12 May 2025
My mum was admitted to Middleton Lodge from hospital.
When I first went to see the care home I was pleasantly surprised just how nice it was. It's like walking into a hotel.
My mum is now receiving the 24 hour care she needs and I can honestly say all the staff are so caring and nothing is too
much trouble. I was anxious wondering how mum would settle but she has settled in well and really enjoys the food.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Things get lost fastly even when dropped to staff.

The environment, rooms and facilities are 5 star quality. The Staff are pleasant, polite and friendly. My Dad has settled in really well and is enjoying the activities and socialising. He particularly enjoys the food which looks appetising. The home is spacious, flat and well thought out, also
tastefully decorated, with a lovely garden. Dad's health, appetite and wellbeing have improved since he moved in
