Mum is benefitting from the genuine care provided by the team at Ruby Lodge. She is enabled to be as independent as she can, the support steps up when she needs more help. When mum was poorly, the help was amazing. I can't thank them enough.

My dad has been living at Ruby Lodge Care Home since my mum died earlier this year.
He is settled and happy in the home. The staff are so welcoming and made him comfortable from day one. He enjoys the company of the carers and other residents and the activities which help him to socialise.
The
support he has is excellent and I can relax knowing that he is safe and happy.

My friend came for respite at Ruby Lodge. It is a truly amazing place where she had the best care ever. Friends and relatives were treated absolutely amazing. Coffee was a lovely gesture and the price was brilliant. Always someone to greet you on arrival. Would definitely recommend you.

My husband spent 10 nights at Ruby Lodge for respite. From the first visit to the discharge process I could not fault anything.
Time was taken to get to know my husband's needs along with his likes and dislikes. Communication was excellent and all members of the team were very friendly.
Ruby Lodge
itself is beautiful and extremely clean. I don't think there is anything to compare with it in this area.
We will definitely be using it again for future respite periods and look forward to
joining a coffee morning soon.

My relative first went to Ruby Lodge for respite after several falls and a spell in hospital. He has thrived in the short time he has lived there. He has put on weight and looks better than he has for the last two years. Every time we visit we find him playing a game or chatting to other
residents. His mental health and quality of life has improved and he is once again enjoying life. Really impressed with the staff who are very kind, know everyone's name and always know where we can find him. The facilities really contribute to his wellbeing.He benefits from being able to access different spaces around the building, whether that is scrabble in the pub, a coffee in the cafe, painting in the activity room or a quiet chat in a lounge.

To the manager and all your wonderful caring team,
Thank you for all you did to make our Mum feel happy and at home at Ruby Lodge. In the few months she lived there she felt welcomed, accepted and loved and she counted it as her home.
Your care, love and kindness for Mum at the end of her
life, and for us as a family too, was exceptional. Thank you all so much.

I was very nervous and apprehensive of going into a care home for respite care. My fear was soon overcome when I arrived at the beautiful Ruby Lodge Care Home. The wonderful staff made my stay so enjoyable they couldn't do enough for me. I enjoyed the company, food and the excellent care I was
given.
am returning shortly for respite care again this time I am happy and looking forward to meeting everyone again.

Ruby Lodge, is beautiful care home ti the standards of a 5 star hotel.
The staff are welcoming, friendly always going above and beyond with the care they give. My mam has been in other care homes for respite care did not come anywhere near the standards of Ruby Lodge. On my mams recent respite
stay, she returned home happy and is always talking about the staff and residents she has met. So much so she is returning for another respite stay. Thanks to all the wonderful staff for making my mams stay so enjoyable.

My uncle first attended Ruby Lodge for some restbite care following a spell in hospital. The management and staff have been excellent right from the start. Everyone is very welcoming.
The senior care staff have been liaising with the hospital and GP about his care needs and ongoing medication.
My
uncle has decided he likes it at Ruby Lodge so much that he's decided to become a permanent resident which is great as it gives our family peace of mind that he will be safe and well looked after.

My Uncle is in his 90s & required Respite care after Hospital stay.
Ruby Lodge is a wonderful homely environment which we all loved from our initial visit.
My Uncle was made to feel very welcome, and we were so impressed with the facilities and the level of genuine care all the staff showed
towards him. They supported his medical needs as well as respecting his shy nature and need to adjust to his new environs in his own time.
After a number of weeks my Uncle made the decision to become a permanent resident & part of the Ruby Lodge family.
He's really settled in, more than we ever thought he would, & this is a hugely positive reflection on the time, care, interest & dedication to improving his well being by the staff at there.
The staff are wonderful & so committed to caring for their residents & support their families.
We're so happy we found Ruby Lodge where our Uncle is happy, safe, cared for and able enjoy his life with dignity thanks to the great team there

My brother was admitted to Ruby Lodge in early April directly from hospital where he had been for 7 weeks. The care he received during those weeks was not good and on admission to Ruby Lodge he was weak, malnourished, personal hygiene had been neglected, diminished muscle tone contributed to his
total lack of mobility. He was a sad sight. Now 9 weeks on the change is remarkable and the improvement in his condition is exceptional. All due to the superb care he is receiving. Each member of staff is caring, friendly, professional,
considerate, thoughtful, competent and compassionate. Excellent management ensures the team share the same high standards of care which are outstanding on every level.
Having spent my career in health care I feel qualified to attribute these remarks to those extraordinary individuals who make Ruby Lodge an outstanding care home
04 April 2025
Very accommodating in supporting my mother's mobility needs, and moving her to a second room to better accommodate her furniture requirements.
Mum's medication requirements have altered whilst she has been a resident and the staff have been good at supporting these changes, ensuring mum receives
the correct doses at the correct times.

Mum was taken in before Christmas for respite. The staff worked hard with Mum to get her settled. She has become a permanent resident. Mum needs 24hr care. As a family we could not have found a better place for her.

We cannot thank the staff of Ruby Lodge enough for all that they have provided in the care of my mum
Mum had colon cancer and was very unwell for a couple of weeks. With the help of Ruby Lodge she has made a steady recovery over the last month and has regained her humour, her strength and her
smile
The level of support and kindness has been beyond what we hoped to expect
A very beautifully finished Care Home gives an air of a 5 star hotel, not a place where people are recovering from all sorts of ailments
Top notch in every way
02 April 2025
Ruby Lodge is a beautiful building and all the facilities are excellent. However what makes it really special is the staff. The manager leads a team of warm, caring professionals. They are extremely hard-working and we feel they care for my Mum and for us. Thank you.
