Mum seems quite happy at the home but spends a lot of time alone in her room which must be very boring.
We had mums 100th birthday celebrations recently and the home were very accommodating and made sure a fuss was made of her.

The staff are caring and helpful. My aunt, who is 103, has been at the home for four years and is generally content. The manager is very thoughtful and efficiently deals with any concerns. The standard of food is the only real area of concern, and it is generally poor. Overall, the home is good with
staff trying their hardest with financial constraints.

After approx 18 months at Adelaide I feel grandad and visitors have generally had a good experience.
The areas I have perhaps felt could be improved
1) Sometimes it has seemed/felt like different staff give different info.
2) Activities seem 'female' orientated, but grandad would be a reluctant
participant.
3) Sometimes seemed slightly neglected when in his room.
4) We have some question about 'professionalism' of night staff.

Mum receives excellent care and attention. I have no concerns for her wellbeing. However, she does complain about the food quality/cooking. She also complains about the night staff not attending quickly enough and not returning when they say they are going to. (I am unable to verify that she is
telling the truth).

Mum has been so well looked after since moving into Adelaide Lodge. We were worried about moving her into a care home, but she has been made to feel so very welcome. We have come to realise that mum receives much better care and attention than we could ever provide in our own home. The staff are
always very attentive to all the residents' needs. Food is amazing. Activities always look fun and engaging, and scrap books are a lovely record for mum and the family to share.

It has been a very good decision, after talking casually to a friend who told me he had just taken his mother in here. As a doctor and a school friend of my son, I thought it may be worth considering. I found the staff warm and helpful, and after a while I was feeling so much better, and my family
are happy for me to stay. The only downside, so much dementia, but grateful I'm OK so far.

Overall generally very happy with the care given, staff and facilities. Dad is well looked after.

We have found the communication between the home and family to be excellent. J has enjoyed his time here and has been well looked after. Staff are friendly and engaging with residents and visitors, making visitors feel welcome. The variety of enrichment activities is very good, with staff engaging
with residents well.

Mum has dementia, so we don't get much interaction with her, but she seems content. Staff are lovely with her and always give me an update on her when I visit. The activities are always good and Mum is encouraged to join in.

I find Adelaide Lodge a very friendly and caring place for my mother to stay at. Always something going on for my mother and other residents to take part in if they want to. If my mother has anything worrying with her medication, they will let me know straight away. I cannot fault the place.

We moved my father to Adelaide Lodge as it was near us. He had been in another care home 2 hours away. My sister and myself were concerned that he did not have much longer to live and I wanted to be more available. He was losing a lot of weight and never smiled. He has been in Adelaide for 4 months
now and all the staff have been wonderful with him. Our father is enjoying the home cooked food- the staff help him eat and he is much better. He smiles and laughs now! In addition the support to me and family is exceptional esp when he got ill. So glad we moved him!

My mum has been in the care of Adelaide Lodge for the past eighteen months . She has settled well . Her bedroom is equipped for her needs, and is also always very clean and tidy . There is regular entertainment which includes singers that mum enjoys to sing along with . The carers are warm and
friendly and have got to know mums likes and dislikes . I am kept informed on mums health and any issues there might be . Family can visit throughout the day .

My mother moved to Adelaide Lodge at the end of 2022 and has received very welcome and supportive care and attention. The home is very clean, and my mother's room is comfortable and practical. The staff and the manager have always been helpful and respectful. The activities arranged on behalf of the
residents are also very much appreciated, and my mother particularly enjoys the visits by the therapy dogs.
16 June 2023
The staff are genuinely caring towards Dad and show affection to him which is the most important for us as his daughters. The manager is excellent, communicates any concern to us in a timely manner and issues (like his hearing aid battery not being charged) are resolved quickly. There are plenty of
activities to keep him stimulated. We particularly like the record system which we can access to see how he is doing. He enjoys walking around the garden and petting the house dog.

My mother moved to Adelaide Lodge from another home locally. I was very impressed with how welcoming, warm and kind the reception she received to settle her in. The staff are enthusiastic, cheerful, helpful and kind. The home is clean, comfortable and warm. The decor is bright and cheerful. Overall
excellent.

My father came to Adelaide Lodge in December 2019 as he has vascular dementia. He was very anxious before coming to Adelaide Lodge but is now content and serene. The care at Adelaide Lodge is the best, all staff I have encountered have been caring, friendly and so helpful. I do not worry about my
father at all as he is so well looked after, has a lovely room and enjoys the activities in the lovely lounge area.
My mother-in-law was also in Adelaide Lodge until her recent death. She went to the home in October 2019 in very poor health and we were told by her doctor she would not live much longer. Due to the excellent and loving care she received she survived until April this year, enjoyed her 100th birthday, regained her mobility and had a lovely last few years.
I cannot recommend this home highly enough and am so glad we found it when we needed it.

On visiting home, staff very polite and informative. Everywhere light, bright and spacious to make room for walking frames and wheelchairs. Small single bedroom spotlessly clean with towels and flannel. Nice upright supportive armchair beside the bed. Allowed to bring ornaments, pictures and clock
to make it more homely. I was most impressed and 10 weeks later cannot fault them. Have calls from office staff to check everything is ok.

My Dad has recently moved into this Care Home. It's really homely and his room is very comfortable and clean. The care he is receiving is exceptional. He is well looked after and all the staff are very attentive, very caring and gentle. Nothing is too much trouble.
The activities are fun and Dad
has started to join in. Meals are good and snacks are given in between meals including fruit. There are jugs of water and squash in the bedrooms and areas where the residents sit. They are encouraged to drink and helped to drink if needed. I am very happy knowing Dad is in a very safe and caring place.
