All very good. My Father is being treated with respect and kindness. The activities are extremely good and help to stimulate him. He is very fond of gardening and the outside areas are really well maintained. Food and staff are excellent and he is enjoying his time in the Care Home.

The staff and management are excellent in every way, and I could not be happier with the care my husband receives.
The facilities are great, and he now very much enjoys his nutritious meals and activities provided.
The happy and caring staff always have time to answer any queries and keep me
informed of any changes.
In his words, "This is a lovely plave and everyone likes me", which says it all.

Heath Lodge has been such a positive experience for myself and Mum since day 1, but more importantly for my Dad. The whole team are so friendly, loving, caring, kind and professional.
The Heath Lodge team under the leadership of Hazel, and management of Sue (would name everyone!) are great. The
team are a credit to Care UK and have a 'great formula'!

I think that Heath Lodge provides a very good standard of care and help. The staff are always polite and will help in many and varied kinds of ways. My room is warm and comfortable and kept clean. The bathroom is also very well maintained and clean.
The meals provided are of a high standard and
are very varied and tasty.
The activities provided are of a high standard and of interest and are very varied.

I've have no complaints. I'm just happy with everything here.

I was dreading the day my mum had to go into a care home, as a nurse of many years I had seen and heard horror stories, however Heath Lodge is AMAZING. The love and care given to my mum, and in turn my dad when he visited has been first class. All members of the team work so well togther, they have
a smile and fun at work, which leads to a happy home enviroment for the residents. Every day there was a different activity happening, the food was wonderful, and the facilities were always clean.
All staff interected with Mum and got to know her well whilst she was there, nothing was ever too much trouble.
I cannot thank the staff enough for their dedication in making this facility a happy home for the residents.

After 58 years of marriage the prospect of putting my wife into a care home was a terrible experience. But from the first day the professional care and understanding of the staff was second to none .Both my wife and I were treated with care and consideration by the management and ALL the staff. I
could not fault anyone from the care home , everyone showed love and care for the residents and their relatives. This caring attitude of all the staff starts with manager and is practiced by all the staff ,something which they can all be proud of.

I was very well looked after. The staff were all very caring.

Mum came into Heath Lodge Care Home in Feb 2023, one of 3 first residents. Early settling difficulties were managed well. The home has grown well, to 56 residents, under the excellent management of the manager & her professional team.
Mum is well cared for, both physically & emotionally. Nothing
is too much trouble for staff, from managers & admin, cleaning, carers, caterers & activity staff. Mum gradually joining in with a few activities now.

My mum relocated to Heath Lodge following a hip replacement. From the first day I found the care to spot on. She needs quite a bit of personal care assistance which is provided with great care and respect. It takes skill and patience to do this without causing distress. Mum has quite bad dementia
although she has great humour about her. However they are well able to deal with quirky conversations. Oh, and they make a great cup of tea - essential for mum!

The experience of visiting Heath Lodge was excellent. This very much includes the combination of both carers and residents. Along with the environment, location and space - Indoors and out. During a visit over many days, the experiences was one of harmony, perhaps uniquely found within a holistic
elderly care environment. The kindness, compassion and communication of staff was very apparent and appreciated. The home is modern, new and designed with much deep consideration for its users. It felt closer to a comfortable retreat with well designed rooms and communal spaces located around an outdoor space with excellent potential. New trees, blooms and accessible flower beds are a continuous process, informed and inspired by residents ideas. Sitting out in the sun you'd be forgiven for thinking you were enjoying a holiday. Restorative respite at its best. I left feeling confident family thrive at Heath Lodge
09 April 2025
On the whole a good experience. Could do with more staff at times and there were variations in the quality of the food, particularly in the cooking.
Considering the cost I think the standard should be better,
There were no managers available over the weekends which is very surprising

I have held off writing a review for Heath Lodge Care Home for three months to ensure I got a very clear picture of the home, the staff, food, activities and overall care of my mother who is living with dementia....
I can now say, without a shadow of a doubt that Heath Lodge is an absolutely
fantastic Care Home in my opinion. I visit my mother a couple of times a week and after the initial settling in period, which is always tricky with dementia, she is now very happy. All of the staff are friendly, caring, polite and calm, they seem to genuinely care and know every resident well. The meals are delicious and mum always clears her plate (as do I when I join her for lunch!). There are daily activities which are varied and stimulating. The bedrooms are beautiful, my mother's has a door onto the enclosed garden which she loves. I genuinely can not fault this place and rave about it to my friends. It is such a relief to know my mum can spend the rest of her life in such a luxurious Home.

My father's dementia and occasional falls were making his ability to stay at home tremendously concerning. He moved into Heath Lodge and it was immediately obvious that this was the best place for him. The staff have been brilliantly understanding right from the initial meeting through to the
present. My father has found it hard to settle but this is by no means a reflection on the staff. His dementia does not allow him to recall any of the reasons for him being there as his short term memory is horrendous. However the continual reassurance and care that he receives from the staff along with strategies from the Manager have helped ease him into his new surroundings. Furthermore the constant awareness of health issues as they arise has also given me total peace of mind. They are very attuned to the needs of residents with the very many forms that dementia presents and the interaction is always suited to that individual residents needs. Very happy with what they do for us, thank you all.

I worked for the Council in quality monitoring of care homes for older people. I have worked with numerous care homes to improve their quality and safety of their services.
Heath Lodge is purpose built and the facilities are excellent, the rooms are furnished to a high standard as are the dining
and lounge areas. Everywhere is always spotlessly clean and very well maintained.
All staff are professional friendly and very approachable.
You always get a warm welcome when visiting, I visit most days, and at different times. I always feel at home and I feel I'm visiting my aunt at home not in a home.
The quality and safety of care my aunt receives is excellent, all her needs are met, she is treated with dignity and respect, she is happy and content. I cannot praise the care staff enough.
I have observed wonderful interactions between residents and staff not just occasionally but continually. Staff put residents at the heart of what they do.
This is one of the best care homes I have visited.

Overall Heath Lodge Care Home provides a comfortable home with lots of interesting facilities which I feel would be used more if offers of help to attend for those less mobile (2 wheelchair users were left at the end of an activity for approximately 45 minutes before being picked up). Morning coffee
and afternoon tea/coffee often late and sometimes missed. Care varies, some rough and unfriendly. Food/meals delivered to rooms cold and not edible.

I have been extremely impressed with the care that the staff are providing for my father-in-law who has late stage dementia. Due to his dementia, it has taken a while for him to settle in and understand where he is and why he is there. All staff have been unfailingly kind and helpful towards my
father-in-law and also to my husband and I in making the transition from home to Heath Lodge Care Home. They have been proactive in making suggestions to help him settle in as well as about his various health needs. It is a huge relief to know that he is safe and so well cared for.
31 January 2025
My experience at Heath lodge Care Home was excellent. The team where so supportive to me when my father was unwell and spent some time at Heath Lodge.
Nothing was too much trouble and my father was very happy there and recovered extremely well and is now at home. I cannot rate the care home higher.
I am so grateful for all they did.

We have been hugely impressed with the accommodation and particularly the kind and caring staff. From June onwards the support and care offered has been exceptional- such a weight off our shoulders knowing Mum is in such good hands.
01 November 2024
My mother has been extremely well cared for by staff who showed kindness in all their interactions with her. My mother grew fond of many staff members. I felt supported by them. The management has been open to suggestions and has offered regular reviews of her care plan as her needs changed. In
addition, they offered a welcome to visiting family and communicated with us when appropriate. They were also caring and in touch with health professionals when necessary. Overall excellent.
