View Full Details of Kenyon LodgeFollowing a previous bad experience of respite care, we put my stepfather into Kenyon Lodge with some trepidation as it is very hard to judge a place from initial contact/visits. The CQC guide is outdated and worthless and essentially you are taking a leap of faith. However, everything went well, he enjoyed his stay and all the family who visited him whilst there said the staff were friendly, attentive and caring. When we picked him up staff and management were very good and my stepfather was in good health and spirits. We hope to be able to use the home again!!
Mum moved to Kenyon Lodge on 3rd April 25 on end-of-life care. Mum was peg-fed and required full nursing care. The staff were warm, caring and compassionate in treatment of Mum, and also in supporting us as a family through this tough and upsetting time. We witnessed the care that was shown to other residents of the home, the wonderful patience shown by all staff and the warm and friendly atmosphere of the place.
Dad came to stay at Kenyon Lodge in Feb 2025 for end of life care. Sadly he passed this month (April). It was a big adjustment for dad who had always had independence and was used to living alone (and for rest of the family) but the staff really helped dad to settle. Particularly 5 members of staff who called me two days before dad passed to enable us to be with him right until the end and the carer who was with us in dad's last moments. Even the domestics (particularly 2 of them) and the Maintenance man would stop for chats with dad, talking about his hobbies and helping him feel more normal despite his illness. Any issues were picked up promptly and professionally by the deputy manager.
My stepdad was in Kenyon lodge on respite for his 60th birthday, he loved the staff and their attentiveness. He particularly liked a certain member of staff and enjoyed chatting with him. He enjoyed spending time with other residents, watching television and spending time outside on the warmer days. He was welcomed with a warm smile everyday and this really contributed to his happiness during his stay.
Family members are not safe under Kenyon Lodge's care. Nursing staff failed to call an ambulance when clear stroke signs were being exhibited and she was found unresponsive in her room after being left alone for 1.5 hours. Food is not home cooked contrary to some other reviews, as one of the 'chefs' told us we do not cook the food, it is brought in as we cannot cook for 60 residents. Staff openly call the manager names. Very unprofessional. Care staff do not respond quick enough to residents who are on palliative care ringing their buzzer. I have witnessed with other residents as well as my own family member.
My parents moved into Kenyon Lodge during the pandemic and lived there for over three years until my father's death in November 2023. It is difficult to sum up in words the peace of mind I had whilst they were there, but I will try to convey in this review, my personal experience. The staff are caring, conscientious, and polite and do their upmost for the residents. Because I was permitted to be there beyond visiting times due to unique circumstances, I knew the staff continued with their dedicated work. In short, when you have a family member in KL, you become part of the KL family and together with the management and staff, you create the optimum atmosphere for your loved ones. When my mum passed away at the beginning of 2023, it was as though the staff had lost a member of their own family as they become so close to the residents. My dad continued to live at Kenyon Lodge after my mother's death and when he passed away, knowing that he was so well cared for, was a great comfort.
Moving my dad for the 3rd time has been very difficult. I was nervous at first as I live close by and heard it had a poor reputation. Dad has been here for 6 months and he has no pressure sores which is unusual as he is bed-bound and had many before. He has a few baths more here and he has not sat in a chair in 3 years. I was amazed to see this and very thankful, he also gained weight which is positive.
Kenyon Lodge is a secure and safe place for my elderly mother. The standards of cleaning, care and continuous attention to detail is excellent and I am confident that my mum is very well cared for. The dayrooms and dining rooms are clean, well-presented and well-used. I particularly like the central garden areas where walkways and benches add real value and again, are well used by residents and visitors and a nice view out of bedroom windows.
My dad moved into Kenyon Lodge in January 2024. When we viewed the home we immediately felt this was the right home for Dad. The staff are lovely, engaging, polite and make eye contact. The home-cooked food was also a plus. Since Dad moved here we have been happy with Dad's care. I have to date, no complaints.
We are very happy with Dad's care in Kenyon Lodge. The staff are all lovely and so conscientious. The laundry lady goes above and beyond for both residents and their families, always with a beautiful smile. The nursing staff are engaging and have always answered any questions promptly.
We as a family are very happy with Mum's care. She has a lovely clean room and friendly carers that look after her needs
Mum came to Kenyon Lodge initially for respite care over Christmas. She returned on a permanent basis at the beginning of February. She has settled in well and enjoys the company and activities, having her hair and nails done as well is a bonus.
Always happy to see me when I arrive. My mum is well looked after, great staff, they always do their very best for her.
We feel happy and relieved that our Mum is safe and well looked after at Kenyon Lodge. All the staff are so welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble. Our experience has been a positive one for our family, and we are so grateful for that.
Kenyon Lodge is very good, the care is excellent and the home itself is excellent. Support is great and feel really comfortable in my mum living there.
Changes to Kenyon over the last 12 months, new manager, refurb (tidy up) and new staff have all been positive and the family feel it has improved our experiences and Mum's care. The nursing staff and carers know Mum well and provide personalised care for her. Mum is settled in Kenyon and we feel that Mum would be happy to stay here. She enjoys the food and chatting to staff on her good days.
The home is clean and in good order. The staff are all pleasant and helpful. Polite and nothing is too much trouble. It's a home from home.
A lovely home with caring staff. All staff were amazing with my Dad, nothing was ever an issue and they went above and beyond, not only for Dad but for his family who visited him. They treated Dad with dignity in his last days. Would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of coming to Kenyon Lodge. Thank you.
My dad moved into Kenyon Lodge after coming out of hospital after a bad fall, which he no longer could walk after. He suffered with severe dementia. The staff at Kenyon Lodge looked after him so well, caring about his wellbeing. The nurses in particular were wonderful. If in the future I had to go into a care home myself, this would be the place for me. I can't recommend the home as much as I am, it's wonderful.
The care Mum has been given by all the carers who have provided one to one care has ensured Mum is less anxious and upset, she feels loved and cared for. The caring provided has been the best experience as the home treat Mum as family, not just a resident needing nursing care, thank you.
