I stayed at The Lodge for about a week following surgery (as I live alone and in a house on multiple levels). The Lodge provided exactly what I needed, especially the first few days when I was so uncomfortable. Everyone was really kind and I appreciated the help I received from the carers and nurses, as well as the hospitality staff and other teams. In addition, I was really reassured to have professional nurses monitoring the medication, especially the heavy-duty painkillers, and to have the personal care support. The Lodge... read more

What can I say about The Lodge? I am the daughter of a resident who was admitted 5 years ago. My mother had suffered a stroke and until then had been completely independent. Although mobile, it affected her memory and she found it difficult to adjust but over time with care, encouragement, respect and support, she got there and she had a beautiful room overlooking the garden which she loved. She was free to potter; to join in any activities she wished to which were very professional, and included outside speakers and interes... read more

My mother received excellent care in the time she was here. I was particularly impressed with the care manager who was very willing to work with us to ensure Mum's changing needs were met. They are a very caring team, both day and night staff. The food is excellent. Mum's time there was happy and we are grateful to all the staff. Special thanks from me to the receptionists that would run upstairs with the phone without complaint, just friendly greeting!

My mum moved to The Lodge during the pandemic to be close to her family in Exeter and to receive end-of-life care. She ended up enjoying nearly three more years thanks to the exceptional care and support she received. We already knew The Lodge had a good reputation but it exceeded this and we are so grateful to you all. Those extra years were entirely due to how safe and content she felt. The Lodge team helped support us right through to the end and beyond. All the team have been exceptionally kind, supportive and sensitive.

Our Mum arrived at The Lodge in 2021 in a very poor state of health with a prediction of six weeks to live. From the day of arrival, to the day she slipped quietly away in May 2024 the level of care received was superb.

From the moment my husband arrived he received a warm and friendly welcome. The nursing staff were excellent throughout his stay and the health care assistants were very caring especially when dealing with his personal care. They were always cheerful and treated him with dignity and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble. The general manager would often call in for a chat and always made sure he was happy. She always had his best interests at heart and her aim was to make him feel as much at home as possible. Choosing a nu... read more

I cannot speak highly enough of The Lodge. My mum came here for 7 weeks for palliative/end-of-life care. Every aspect from the cleanliness, level of care, food, and of course management is second to none. The kindness, love and empathy my mum received was first-class. They always had her interests and comfort as a priority. As next of kin, I felt listened to and supported at what was an extremely difficult time. It is of no surprise that many staff stay working there for years! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly ... read more

An excellent care home for the last two years of our mother’s life. Kind competent care with great respect and regards for her wishes. Fantastic end-of-life care and support for us all. Spacious light room able to take furniture and pictures. Lovely food served in the restaurant and great care taken to meet dietary needs. Interesting activities and gentle encouragement to residents to participate. Nothing to fault at all.

Great first impressions which were backed up by subsequent experiences. My friend is a very independent person who is being treated with the utmost respect.
