The staff at Downshaw Lodge look after my brother-in-law. I am very happy with the care provided. The communication from the senior team on the residential unit is excellent. The unit is always clean and tidy on arrival. The team know how to approach my brother-in-law's complex needs very well. I am
forever grateful for the care and dignity that Downshaw Lodge provided.

My husband came to Downshaw in September 21 and was immediately was welcomed. Alan has been looked after by many carers at the home, and they have looked after him and his changing needs throughout his time here, including caring for him at hospital visits.
The management team have made positive
changes for the residents and ensures relatives are always involved and informed.
During the final weeks of my husband's life, the management, nurses and carers have all been so supportive and caring. The end of life care was kind, supportive and right for him and the family and discussed and explained throughout. The nurses and carers who supported during this time were amazing.
Thank you to everyone at Downshaw, from the receptionist, cleaners, handyman, entertainers, nurses, carers and management. It is the people that make a home what it is.

Overly all I'm happy with my dad's care. Especially his medical side as soon as he is poorly medical attention is sort out immediately and I'm kept in touch throughout.

Prior to the recent management changes, I was concerned which direction the home was going.
However, recent management changes have given me optimism for the future.

Came to visit with his son, he seems very happy here and has become more sociable since being here. His last home he wouldn't leave his room but this home he mingles with other residents. He says the staff are all friendly and he gets on well with them all. Very well looked after and very clean
environment.

Friendly staff, supportive, caring.

My husband entered Downshaw Lodge directly from hospital following a very long stay there. Within 24 hours he was like a different man, eating all his meals, more alert to his surroundings. From day one the staff have always been attentive to his complex needs, and all staff are very friendly and
always available if needed. For the first time in a very long time we as a family feel more settled and confident. What we thought would be a daunting experience for him and our family was made much easier.

My experience is all positive, my husband had had deterioration in his condition and Downshaw has supported him very well, showing him care and patience sometimes in difficult situations. He is content when I visit, which means so much.. Staff are very caring to him and to his visitors. Value for
money I wouldn't know, how can you put a price on the care of your loved one. Thank you so much.

My dad moved into Downshaw Lodge in August 2025 and the care he has received so far has been brilliant. He has settled in really well and I have peace of mind that he is getting the best care.The staff are brilliant with both my dad and me and my stepmum. The activities team take my dad out which is
great.Very happy.
25 September 2025
The service was excellent;the carers attention to detail was second to none: they found out my father's interests and made conversation with him. his care was excellent as they spoon-fed him and hoisted him from bed to wheel-chair to armchair. a very impressive set-up which i would wholeheartedly
recommend. The staff were so friendly, and also extremely competent. they were able to move from one patient to another offering very good personal service.

My dad has been in numerous care homes in the past couple of years. Downshaw is the best by far. All the staff are dedicated and approachable. My dad appears to be the most settled he has been for some time.
