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.

From the moment we walked through the door of Ruby Lodge Care Home, mum was made to feel welcome. It is a friendly, professional home with efficient, caring staff, management, reception, carers and entertainment. spacious and immaculate in all areas. Nothing is too much trouble if mum has needs or requests. Mum has settled well. Many thanks to all.

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

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

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.

Great care home, the staff are lovely and always goes above and beyond. The best staff and facilities I have come across in the many care homes I have visited for my dad and he has nothing but good things to say about Ruby Lodge.

My Mum came to Ruby Lodge for respite care following a period of ill health and falls. The welcome she received was exceptional, her love of music has been remembered - a classical radio station was playing in her bedroom on arrival, and by the end of the day she was enjoying playing the piano in the entrance lobby! All the staff have been friendly and caring, so much thought and effort goes into every aspect of her care. She has settled so quickly and is positively thriving! Ruby Lodge has given us back quality Mother and daughter time together - thank you!

Ruby Lodge has given my Father-in-law a new lease of life. The care and attention he has received is second to none. The facilities are 5-star, and he has settled in really quickly. He has made new friends and developed an active social life very quickly - everyone is so friendly. Recently, Ruby Lodge organised a 95th birthday lunch, which was just fabulous. Can't recommend this place enough - it's fabulous.

We visited Ruby Lodge more than a few times, the staff are by far the most friendly, professional, and caring that I have come across. The building is gorgeous, the residents seem to be really happy and well taken care of. 10/10!

Ruby Lodge Care Home is amazing. It could be confused with a 5hotel. The staff are so warm and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. Eight of us enjoyed my friend's Dad's 95th birthday lunch, and the food was delicious... particularly the fruit cheesecake! I honestly can't think of even one tiny negative, that's how impressed l am by this wonderful care home.

I visited, on this occasions, to attend a Birthday party. The staff could not have been more helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I have visited many times and personally, I am very impressed with Ruby Place. The staff seem to go out of their way to provide entertainment and activities for the residents with a regularly supply of refreshments in between meals which are always served willingly. A lovely place and a lovely home.
