My mother came for a 4 day visit then 4 weeks as a mixture of respite and a trial for the future. From the very first visit it was clear that the team put the residents care at the heart of everything they do. I would highly recommend Gateford Lodge to other families. Not only are the rooms and
decor well designed but the meals, activities and conversation were all perfect for my mother. A big thank you to all the team.

Gateford Lodge care home has provided excellent care and respite services for both my parents. They took care of all their tablets and medical needs and provided a safe secure clean happy environment to allow my parents to get their meds and health to a balanced level.
The food and service has been
great , the care has been outstanding can not speak highly enough of the staff and their happy positive attitude which has a big contributing factor to settle my parents into this new life.

This new residential care home is promising a bright future for Worksop people. Its decor, layout, lovely spacious rooms (with en suites) and approachability of caring staff is what led to its choice for my mother. New activities for residents to get involved with are being added each month, such
as inter-generational music with toddler/baby sessions, dog therapy, crafts, special events on the calendar (Valentines Day afternoon tea, Mother's Day lunch with families) and there will be more to come. Family and friends are welcomed whenever they choose to visit. Living further away it is good to know that my mother is in a safe place where she can rely on staff to support her in a friendly atmosphere and my siblings living nearby love going there. Having taken part in a couple of the activities when visiting and chatting to other residents I would be volunteering if I lived closer!

Mum, 94, moved into Gateford Lodge mid December. I'd made a visit beforehand to see what facilities they offered and if it would be suitable for Mum's needs. It's proven to be a perfect choice.
The home is 5* and so are the staff. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. Mum gets regular
visits from a District Nurse arranged by the home and her medication is given promptly each day. She's recently had an optician visit to choose new specs.
The home is beautifully decorated with spacious ensuite bedrooms with TV. There're activities/entertainment most days, a fab dining room serving great food, a hair salon with nail bar, TV lounge or a quieter garden room to chill out.
Residents can socialise and still feel independent and most importantly, secure. Thank you to all staff. I highly recommend Gateford Lodge Care Home.

This is a new, purpose built Carehome and the environment is bright and very inviting. It feels like stepping into a luxury hotel.
Since moving to Gateford Lodge my mother has settled in very nicely and has been eating well and clearly enjoying her meals, which are freshly cooked on the
premises. These are served in a beautifully decorated dining room with tablecloths and napkins and even a glass of wine is offered.
The staff at Gateford lodge are so caring and give the residents their undivided attention.
The place is immaculate and the surroundings are beautiful. There is a hair salon, activities room , a tv lounge and a quiet area. I am looking forward to taking my mother out into the garden in the warmer months.
I have visited a lot of Carehomes in the local area and in my opinion Gateford Lodge is superior in every way. This is how all care homes should be.

Absolutely fantastic place.
From the beginning my mum was assessed, excellent and very professional.
The care home as absolutely stunning place with more and more space and room very pleasant, peaceful, and comfortable.
Very clean and tidy.
The care is to the best standard my mum is getting
every thing she needs and more. She is treated with respect and dignity.
The rooms are excellent in every way.
The Staff are very professional very caring and well trained. They all seem very happy in there work, it is a big thing for the staff to be happy in carework.
Food is very nice with plenty of choice.
Activities are always a great thing to have and there is alot to choose from.
The Management and reception are all willing to help and assist in anything you need and make it a very safe secure place.
There isn't a cheep way of having your loved ones looked after but moving my mum from a cheeper place was an excellent choice. For my mum to have the best there is. VALUE FOR MONEY. 10/10.

The team at Gateford Lodge have been so helpful and welcoming, right from the initial phone call enquiry. Mum, who is 92 and has dementia, had started having falls, and although she was having care at home, she had socially withdrawn and was beginning to physically and mentally struggle. It was
clear that mum was no longer safe at home, but she was so fearful and resistant to even the thought of going into a care home. It was a difficult conversation but with some persuasion my sister and I took her along for a taster day. We all instantly loved everything about the place. The next week mum agreed to 4 weeks' respite care which has just come to an end. Now she has asked to stay on as a permanent resident; she is happy and says she doesn't want to be anywhere else. The transformation in mum has been amazing and this is all thanks to the wonderful team. She is visibly brighter and healthier and has the confidence to engage and make new friends. She is very happy!!
