I have just spent over two weeks at The Lodge and found the experience very positive. The enthusiasm and encouragement of every member of staff was outstanding. Having enjoyed many activities on weekdays a little empty and looked forward to Monday's singing group. All meals were excellent and served with care and consideration.

My mother, aged 92, has just spent two weeks recovering from extensive orthopaedic surgery and I was impressed by the care in this home. From when she arrived right up until her departure she felt confident in all aspects of her care and above all felt she was understood and encouraged to regain her independence. The staff at all times were attentive and welcoming and all meals well presented and of excellent quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Lodge to others.

I write to thank you and all the staff of The Lodge for the excellent care I received during my recovery from hip replacement surgery. Throughout my four weeks in your care I was encouraged by the professionalism, patience and cheerfulness of every member of staff I came into contact with. Nothing was too much trouble and they supported and encouraged me in my efforts to regain fitness. A massive THANK YOU to everyone.

I needed post operative care after major surgery before going home. I spent two weeks at The Lodge and from the moment I arrived I was treated with care and respect by all staff. The food is freshly cooked, with a wide choice on the menu, and it is very good in quality and taste. I joined a group of friendly residents who made me feel part of the community. My time in The Lodge has helped my recovery enormously enabling me to return home and live independently again.

I was welcomed to stay for 1 week to recover from food poisoning. I was very impressed by the happy, motivated staff. The high quality food when I got my appetite back. The quality atmosphere all flowed from the outstanding general manager.

We were very pleased with the care my mother received during the 6 years she lived at The Lodge especially as I live 200 miles away. There were always plenty of staff and they were all very caring and kind. While we felt Mums care was excellent their communication with the loved ones was seriously lacking. I only discovered had a 'key worker' after she passed away. I repeatedly asked for information about her care, but got no serious response. She was clearly on an 'end of life pathway' but this was never communicated to me.... read more

My mother had advanced terminal cancer and was resident at the Lodge for about a month receiving palliative end-of-life care. All the staff involved with my mother's care were incredilbly understanding about the complexities around end-of-life and symptom management, the psychological as well as the physical. The Manager and admin staff were also very supportive of me as her daughter during what was a very difficult time which coincided with the Christmas period. The Home is beautifully maintained, has a warm welcoming atmos... read more

My mum was at the Lodge for 25 months before passing. During that time, she received wonderful care from an amazing group of people. The whole staff - from the manager, to the nurses, carers, entertainment, kitchen staff & cleaners - are dedicated to the well-being of all their residents. Alongside the exceptional care, they provide a 5 star food service, whilst also maintaining/ cleaning all the facilities to the very highest of standards.

Before my mother moved in, I had taken over some of her belongings. I noted the small touches like a plate of fruit, chocolates and wine and toiletries in the room. Small gestures do count. My mother was well cared for and looked after in the short time they resided at the home. The home was clean and kept tidy. The General Manager, Deborah, was pleasant and presentable and easy to talk to. I wish my mother had been a resident at the home earlier in their dementia journey.
