I have found the staff very friendly and supportive. They are all partticularly knowledgeable when discussing my aunt and her condition. In particular they are very patient and understanding when dealing with her. Regular checks are carried out and there always seems to be a member of staff
available to deal with the residents needs.

A very welcoming home to residents, visitors and my dog who enjoys the extra attention! The home is warm and well managed with excellent staff who are attentive and very caring. The ratio of staff to residents is high which is good to know and see. The Duty Managers keep me informed of any incidents
relating to my mother in a timely fashion, and steps taken in her support.
The home spent much time and effort in ensuring that all residents had an enjoyable Christmas period, with decorations, activities, presents and meals. Family and staff were integrated into the process....thank you.
Mum is safe, well cared for and content living at the home. I am confident and pleased that the Walmer Care Centre is the right home for her. The location at the seafront is special with good parking and access.
It is good that staff wear their name badges which is helpful for residents and visitors alike.

The care home had a wonderful afternoon tea out in the garden. Pimms, scones, cakes etc, much prepared by the residents. Also, a man playing the saxophone. Later in the month, there was the summer lunch which had games, a singer and many of the residents dancing.

My mum has been in the home for 3 weeks and appears to have settled well now. All our questions and concerns were answered during the transition stage. Mum appears clean and well dressed in her own clothes which is also important to me. All staff are approachable and happy to listen to me however
minor my query is.

My friend and neighbour was admitted to Walmer Care Home in January. After two years of treatment for myloma where I was the main support and carer. He was very poorly, but after your most professional carers have nursed and supported him he has been able to retain his dignity whilst losing control
of his independent life. All staff are so positive and helpful. It's a pleasure to be a visitor the encouragement of activities and continuing life is excellent.

The care provided for my mother is second to none. The staff are friendly and approachable. Any concerns raised are dealt with quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending this home. My mother loves it, good food, a comfortable environment, and excellent care.

After 10 years of home care, Carelton Lodge was chosen and we are very fortunate in that my wife quickly felt so at home and clearly continues to enjoy herself in her congenial surroundings. We are always welcomed by a happy crew, plenty of natural smiles and we feel a strong sense of relationship
with the staff and their high level of care, compassion and concern for all of their residents. A team member will give is an update on my wife's recent activities and presentation. the weekly news update/plan for the coming week is very reassuring and demonstrates the wide range of both practical and enjoyable range of activities in which residents can participate. An example of thoughtfulness in the level of care was holding a Valentines Tea for residents and their partners - an utterly delightful two hours for both of us!
Our family appreciate that the care teams are flexible with visiting times around the protected meal times.
The Carelton Team really do go above and beyond to ensure that their residents are treated as individuals and have created a warm, kind and caring environment for all them and visitors.

My mum decided that residential care would be her best option due to immobility and living alone in her own home. She tried 2 weeks respite care initially, and decided to make it permanent. The staff are lovely, and nothing seems too much trouble. Residents are given as much help as they need and
are treated with dignity and respect. Mum has made some friends, and has a far superior quality of life with good company in a beautiful place. The location is far better suited for myself and siblings to visit her, and she seems very happy.

Mum has been part of the home family for over 5 years now. A really wonderful caring team, you couldn't ask for better. I love chatting to other residents and the working team. I never have to worry if my Mum is ok. The activities are great, whether they are one to one, as a larger group or visiting
school children, dancers, singers. Thank you for looking after my Mum xx

The care centre is lovely it has a real friendly, homely feel to it. The staff are great, they are very caring and always available to talk to, they treat my aunt with care and respect.
The management team are very approachable and always keep me informed on how my aunt is doing and always let me
know if they have any concerns regarding my aunts health and always let me know if they have had to call for medical assistance for my aunt.
My aunt has been at the home for almost a year now, she is happy and has settled really well. It is great to know she is so happy and cared for so well.
Thank you to all the staff!

Loving caring polite staff. Clean building with a good atmosphere. Hard working staff that demonstrate tolerance and understanding of the residents. Rooms are clean and tidy. I always recommend the home to other members of the public.

I have been volunteering here since October. I have always found the staff very welcoming. I have observed a very keen sense of belonging to a family when the staff attend to the residents. There is a very varied activity programme which runs every day. I think the biggest asset which I have seen
every member of staff has is patience - something that is so crucial for the residents living here. They are cared for as individuals with dignity and kindness.

Dad moved into Walmer Care Centre in October 2024, he has always said he would never accept moving into a care home, even when in hospital after falls he was always wanting to leave before his treatment had finished. We took Dad with trepidation wondering how long he would last, he is still there
three months later and he is very happy. The staff are wonderful, kind, respectful and engaging. There is always a cheerful atmosphere and the care is outstanding. Why were we worried, Dad is thriving.
