My brother has only recently moved into Amber Lodge (6 weeks ago) and have only visited only 3/4 times so far (distance)
So far, all the staff I have met have been warm, welcoming and ready to answer any questions I may have. My brother seems happy enough and is being well cared for, but I cannot
comment further as it is still early days.

My mother has only been a resident for 2 weeks. She went into the home from the hospital for a 4-week assessment with the possibility of becoming a permanent resident. I only had a day to decide if Amber Lodge would be a good fit for my mum, so I had a short visit and was impressed by the staff and
the amount of staff that I could see around. They all seem to genuinely want to look after the residents and seem to have a lot of patience with them. If there is one criticism, it would be that it's very dated inside, and would benefit from a bit of an uplift in decor and a bit of fresh paint.

Whilst the staff are lovely and helpful, the room which my aunt is in is in dire need of redecoration which I was advised last year was going to be done. It is currently a very depressing colour with brown paintwork.
On a different note with the recent improvements I have seen at the home perhaps
this will be done sooner than later. Finally, her son phones from the USA and the phone signal is very poor for that room IE cuts off.

My husband was placed at Amber Lodge in February 2026. I have found the staff to be very polite and caring and always happy to help. I do think it's a little out dated but that doesn't affect the quality of care given.

My dad went into amber lodge and so far we have been very happy with the care staff and management. All very kind and welcoming. My dad has been there since Good Friday and will continue to stay at Amber Lodge.

On visiting the home, I was greeted with a friendly smile. The staff were very professional and caring towards the residents. The home is very clean and well maintained.

The staff are all extremely helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The care the care they give is second to none.

Have always found All the staff very helpful, kind and informative
The activities are varied and sometimes include someone external coming into visit such as a fabulous singer at Christmas.
I Would definitely recommend the home if someone asked for a recommendation.

The new manager and deputy are a breath of fresh air and have made visible improvements at Amber Lodge. Communication is improving via email messages and updates now. Staff on the floor have always been brilliant with mum and continue to be fab with her. Unfortunately their brilliant activities
coordinator recently left though so I am waiting to see what will happen in terms of enrichment.

My grandma is residing at Amber Lodge Nursing Home. The staff are lovely, very attentive and kind. My grandma seems very happy with her care. Food choices are good and she always has a drink. Recent extension with a beautiful garden for her to spend time in

Great staff, carers are fantastic will try to do anything to help where they can. They work so hard to look after the residents, They always contact the families if they are needed. Takes a lot of the stress off families to know their loved one are being looked after.

My mum has been a resident at Amber Lodge for over 3 years, in all of that time I have never felt any concerns for mums well being. The staff are very caring and efficient. The dedication and care they gibe to the residents is very reassuring. They have always got a smile and a cheery hello, and
that's from all members of staff. They are also extremely safety conscious so you never find yourself worrying about their welfare. All in all, I cannot fault Amber Lodge. Well done, everyone.

My mum has been a resident at Amber Lodge for 7 years. Before her dementia progressed, she loved interacting with staff and taking part in activities. I feel that my mum is very well taken care of, some staff go above and beyond. The new manager is a breath of fresh air. If I ever have any concerns,
the manager deals with them quickly. Overall, I am very happy with the care my mum receives.

My wife has been a resident at Amber Lodge for the last 16 months, being cared for on a one to one basis. Due to her lack of cognition and poor vision, the staff and carers ensure she receives all the needs she requires. She was very active and walked a lot with assistance, but more recently spends
a lot of time in her room, which is far more suitable than the temporary one she moved into for a few weeks. The staff and carers are friendly and competent, and ensure my wife has her meals, of which there is always a decent choice of food.
09 April 2026
My wife has been in Amber Lodge for 15 months. As a family we are very happy with everything at Amber Lodge. Staff are wonderful and full of fun. All of her needs are being well attended to. She is eating well and is happy. It is a pleasure to visit and see her so content. Should be even
better when the new extension is completed. No problems at all.

My husband arrived at Amber Lodge Nursing Home 6 weeks ago, and his life has changed so much, he loves his room and the nurse, he eats now very well and looks very well.
I am so happy we found him a home away from home.
Thank you.

Amber Lodge is a home-from-home. Mum has been there for a year. We moved her from another home. We are so pleased that we did. The staff are like friends the food is excellent. New activities coordinator is doing a great job. The home is clean. It’s a care home and they do care.

Came to visit my mum on their open day. So many happy residents and their families and staff.
Two mini donkeys and a collie, all very well-behaved - gave such pleasure to my mum and all the residents.
All the staff are so kind and caring. They really love and care about their residents. I'm
always made so welcome on my visits to Mum.
A few days later, I visited Mum; she beamed her smile at home and said, "In all the places to love in Welby, I couldn't be any happier than here"!

Mum has recently moved into Amber Lodge from another home as she requires specialist dementia care. The meet and great when she arrived was lovely with everyone introducing themselves to Mum and welcoming her. She was taken to her room which we had been allowed to prepare for Mum before her arrival
so she had familiar things around her. She has settled in well and seems to be enjoying her time in Amber Lodge. She can enjoy watching TV in the lounge with other residents in the evening now rather than being isolated in her room from mid-afternoon because the lounge was not manned in her previous residential home. We were extremely nervous about moving Mum but she has amazed us all and so has Amber Lodge and its staff.
Highly recommend Amber Lodge.
