Review of
Elm Lodge Care Home
from John B (Son of Resident) published on 31 March 2025

Overall Experience

We had become a little dissatisfied with the care home my 95 year old mum was in so when we saw Elm Lodge was opening, we booked a visit. We were very impressed with everything; the location; the facilities; and the staff. We felt even more positive after subsequent visits and my mum's visit and assessment

so we decided to move her to Elm Lodge. It could not have gone better. From the welcome pack the home provided to the staff welcoming mum we felt confident we had made the right decision. We have seen a marked improvement in my mother. Whilst before the move she preferred to sit in her room now she wants to socialise and loves going out. Much of this is down to the staff, all of whom are very caring, friendly and supportive. The home have arranged for mum Mum gets her hair done weekly, the fees of which are covered by the monthly fee. The facilities are superb and mum has enjoyed use of the spa bath.

Overall Experience

We recently moved our Mum from another local care home to Elm Lodge and within less than a week we saw a huge difference in her. She is well cared for, smiling constantly and the staff are just the most incredible people. They treat the residents as they would their own relatives. Their passion for

their jobs is clear. Nothing is too much trouble and they go over and above to accommodate all requests. We were worried that a change in care home would rock Mum's world and it has but for all the right reasons, she is so much happier, looks healthier thanks to the wonderful chefs and is thriving in her new environment. The location is perfect and has the most wonderful views across fields and the gardens. I cannot recommend Elm Lodge enough.

Overall Experience

Elm Lodge Care Home is an outstanding care home, I moved my elderly mother from a care home that was part of a large group to Elm Lodge, and find that its very luxurious, with a very relaxed atmosphere, the staff are excellent , and you can see they really care for the residents, my mother tells me

the food is very good. She now gets regular activities, and seems a lot happier.

I would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience

We thoroughly recommend Rowan Lodge for its comprehensive and empathetic care across the range of needs including dementia care.The care home is comfortable,well run,offers excellent facilities and menu, has a pleasant small garden and patios overlooking green countryside.Care has been sensitively adjusted

over mum's time of occupation to fit her mental and physical health as she passes 2 years living at Rowans and approaches her 100th birthday.The 24/7 nursing care is diligent and thorough,mum's very survival having been secured by prompt action.The carers are genuinely caring and patient ,within reason nothing too much trouble,and staff strive to secure a good relationship.The family and mum's friends are always made welcome,whether on physical visits or online.Good communal events and many engaging activities are arranged for residents to choose from if interested and according to personal preference.

Review of
Rowan Lodge
from Alan B (Son of Resident) published on 7 March 2025

Overall Experience

I was impressed with how mum's admission was dealt with. Everything went smoothly and she was welcomed like an old friend. Mum is treated with respect and careful attention. Her room is lovely with a view over the patio, she has an en suite bathroom and everything is kept spotlessly clean.
The activities

are endless, there always seems to be something going on so residents can never be bored. The food and choice of menu is varied and would grace a hotel.
I would recommend Rowan Lodge to anyone who needs to place a relative in a secure, happy and caring environment.

Oak Lodge

Overall Experience

Our 99-year-old mum has been at Oak Lodge for 18 months, and every time we see her she tells us how lucky she is to be in such a lovely home, and looked after by such caring people.
She has made so many friends and enjoys all the activities that are provided, from gardening, crafts, musicians, singers,

nursery group visits, and she has joined the choir.
The care is exceptional, the setting in beautiful grounds is perfect and the catering is amazing. We would love to thank everyone at Oak Lodge for everything they do for her .

Oak Lodge is the best care home. It is clean, calm and friendly all the time. My mum feels cared for and safe. I know that she is so well looked after. Her wishes are respected and she lives comfortably. We are both well known by the friendly staff who go out of their way regularly to make us smile.
Everything

Outstanding care and attention from all the management team and staff.
Know that mum is so very well cared for and has settled in well since arriving in July 2023.
She in turn feels she receives great support and care.
Know that on my arrival I am well informed and updated on any issues that staff

or mum might currently have.
I'm in turn always greeted as "a friend/family member" which makes me feel very welcome too.

Oak Lodge is a 5 star residential home and I have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone considering a care home for themselves or a relative or friend. I cannot think of one thing which isn't carried out to a very high standard. The home is situated in glorious surroundings which are well

maintained and have the wow factor on arrival!

Review of
Holly Lodge
from Alison T (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 February 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We're pleased with the care and attention our Mum has received. The staff are attentive, aware of her needs and respond to Mum in a kind and caring way with dignity and respect. Even if the staff are busy with other residents, they keep any eye out for anything else that is happening and respond quickly

and appropriately. The home is always spotlessly clean and tidy with a lovely atmosphere. We've been kept fully informed and updated about Mum and included in conversations with the doctor, outcomes of any other discussions and ongoing follow-ups about how she is progressing and what we can do to help. The Activities Team are well led, full of energy, good fun and provide such a variety of activities to suit everyone. The array of outside entertainers and visitors provided is second to none and it's good to see that they are inclusive of all residents. Holly Lodge is well led and managed and provides a safe and caring environment. We couldn't have chosen a better home for our Mum.

Holly Lodge
from Robert M (Husband of Resident) published on 17 February 2025

Overall Experience

My wife very recently passed away at Holly Lodge. She had lived there for almost 16 months and in that time I was able to visit my wife around 900 times. I can honestly say that throughout my visits all the staff at Holly Lodge and especially the manager.
have greeted me with nothing but support and

kindness. But that same kindness has been amplified even greater in the care of my wife. Her smiling at them right through to her final days gave us the reassurance that we had chosen wisely.
Our very deep and heart felt thanks go out to everyone at Holly Lodge from our household.

Overall Experience

Holly Lodge is an excellent care home for those who suffer from dementia. The care that my mum has received since she arrived in October has been amazing and she is thriving there.
The day to day care is fantastic and the activities team are superb and have reignited my mums love for art and creativity.

Holly Lodge is very clean and the carers are so kind, thoughtful and always around to help in any eventuality. My mum is declining with her dementia and they have been so attentive to her and I know that she is being cared for.
I only wish I had found it earlier as it's as home from home as it can be for my mum, thank you.

I came here at very short notice when my wife died unexpectedly and I needed respite. Since I arrived, I have been extremely well looked after and I cannot praise the management and staff highly enough. I shall ask to come back here in a couple of years when I need more care/help. I hope a place can

be found. Thank you all very much.

Overall Experience

My father was a resident in Cedar Lodge for 2 and a half years. He had developed dementia so was no longer able to look after himself at home. Cedar Lodge staff were consistently excellent in their level of both medical and social care. Also of note, any visitors my father had were always complimentary

of the high standard of the environment, buildings and surroundings. I would recommend Cedar Lodge to any one looking for a care home package.

Overall Experience

My dear 88-year-old elderly mother recently completed a five-week respite stay at Oak Lodge. I cannot speak highly enough of the love, care, patience and personal attention which she received during her stay. Oak Lodge itself is a home of the highest quality, very well kept, set in beautiful surroundings,

offering a quality of care and kindness which is embedded in all staff, at all levels, from the top down. My mother, with early-stage dementia, and not entirely appreciating the full extent of help she needs, is not the easiest character to manage and work around. Everyone at Oak Lodge settled her in beautifully, and she had a wonderful time, she could not have been treated with greater care and consideration. All of the management and staff are friendly, helpful and straightforward, the administration is first-class. I would highly recommend Oak Lodge to anyone seeking top-quality care for a loved one in a beautiful, countryside setting with excellent modern facilities.
