Filsham Lodge

from Jocelyn W (Mother of Resident) published on 25 February 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

The care my son has received is good but the home is not suited to a young stroke patient. The room was very small with no en-suite. He needed physio which was difficult to achieve satisfactory results in such a restricted area.

Reply from Michelle Love-Patel, Manager at Filsham Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your honesty and understanding that your sons placement here was urgent and only temporary until a more suitable placement could be found. We will take your opinion on board when approached for this type of care in the future. We wish him the best of luck with his new placement now this has finally been found! Take care

My partner although he was only in Filsham Lodge a few months before his passing, the care and attention given to him from all the staff involved in his care was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, all aspects of his care were given lovingly by the staff. The home was always clean and tidy. I could
not have wished for a better home for my partner to be cared for in. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for everything they did for him and myself as you all made what was a very difficult time for me so much easier to bear. Thank you so very much.

Reply from Michelle Love-Patel, Manager at Filsham Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It was an absolute privilege for us to care for your late partner during this time. On behalf of the team, please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Take care

Just would like to say a massive big thanks to all at Ampersand Care Home, the care my father-in-law got was 10/10. He was a resident at the home for the last 2 years and sadly passed away at the home on the 10th of December 2024. The end-of-life care at the home was amazing and the way the home treated
his wife and family was amazing, always provided us with drinks, at the end of my father-in-law's last few days my partner and sister stayed with their dad and were treated the best by all staff. A big thank you to all.

Reply from Sarah Day, Registered Manager at Ampersand House

Many thanks for your kind review of our home, it is so lovely to see a review where is shows all the staff that their care is of a high standard. Your father-in-law will be dearly missed.

There is much kindness and care here. My relative is settled and content even though her advanced dementia makes it difficult for her to understand or communicate. There is always a warm welcome for me and I feel supported and communication is good.

from Amanda S (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 November 2024

Our mum has been a resident at Filsham Lodge for just over a year. She has received kindness and respect from all the staff. Whilst suffering from Dementia means she is unable to communicate fully they make sure she is comfortable and present in the general day to day life. The snacks and meals provided
look balanced and tasty. The communication between family and the team is fair and open, such that if there are any concerns I am able to raise them to get resolutions.

Mum has been at Filsham Lodge for 2 years and has responded well, despite her complex and challenging needs, to the kindness and professionalism shown by all staff in their different roles. She is well cared for, with various emerging issues resolved along the way. We are always contacted, consulted
and kept informed about her health needs and any incidents.

Caroline House

from Nicholas T (Brother of Resident) published on 26 September 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

Sister was discharged to this facility by the hospital, working with adult social care.
One of the staff of the discharge team showed the website, saying the room had private facilities and stated food was hotel quality, my sister was excited to go after waiting eight months for a discharge to assess
place.
The staff at the facility were really very nice kind and caring however my sister only remained at the facility for three hours as the room organised was unsuitable with no private facilities, an alternative was offered for a top-up cost of ÂŁ751 but the toilet was currently out of order and needed a plumbers attention, a commode was offered but due to mobility issues and medical conditions this was not an option.
The facility is in a poor state of decoration, as are the rooms and furnishings. There are locked doors due to the dementia patients restricting free access to areas.
Check this facility's rooms before accepting a placement the website pictures are misleading.

Mum has been at Caroline House since May 2023, and I've found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. As time has gone on. Mum's needs have changed and they've adapted with her. Her clothes and room are always clean and tidy. I think Mum is happy there. I have never had any "I want to go home" from
her, which I take as a good sign as I think if she was very unhappy there, she'd tell me.

What a lovely place this is, got a real buzz about it. Such a warm welcome, and even offer of a cuppa when you come through the door. The home is bright and clean, bedrooms are of adequate size, and pleasantly decorated. Good variety of tasty food, which looks good, and the residents like it. All the
staff are friendly, and a special mention to all the cheerful carers doing an amazing job of looking after my husband, for which I am truly grateful. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.

Mum was well cared for by all the staff she went to Filsham very quickly as she was not able to look after herself so needed to be safe and cared for as she was living alone but needed more support.
She had a lovely room which was very comfortable for her.
The staff were very supportive of her and
myself.

I have always been greeted by very friendly and helpful staff, whether management, nurses or helpers. Staff are always attentive to users and are dealt with in a dignified manner. The home is always clean and nothing is hidden. Meals look wholesome and filling and there is always a ready supply of snacks,
tea and coffee. My friend seems settled and happy in her surroundings.

My mum has been at Caroline House for 8 weeks having to move care home due to a change in personal circumstances suffering from dementia. The move was very upsetting for Mum, however in the short time Mum has been at Caroline House Mum has settled in extremely well thanks to the care and support of
all the wonderful staff. The move has been made so much easier for Mum and our family knowing Mum is happy, settled and well cared for. For this to happen so quickly in such a short time is thanks to everyone at Caroline House, in making our mum and our family so welcome. A massive thank you to you all.

My Mum moved into Ampersand in January. She has settled well and whenever I visit has high praise for the staff who she says are always kind, caring, and lovely to chat to. My experience has also been very positive, the staff really takes an interest in the residents and the atmosphere is homely and
with a smile. The music and dancing at the recent Jubilee party were a delight, to see residents enjoying the experience will be a lovely memory that I and my son will treasure.

My husband and I would thank the manager and all the staff for the excellent care they have given to my mother. She has been with you for some time now and has always been treated with so much care and empathy. We are now in the final days of my mother's life, we have been given so much support and
given daily updates. Informed of all changes in her care from the home and any outside agencies. This has been very reassuring. I would most certainly recommend Ampersand to anyone who needs 24-hour care. Once again a huge thank you.

My husband transferred to Filsham Lodge due to him requiring nursing care. From day one of his stay with you I only had admiration for the care he received. He was treated with dignity and respect and although not able to converse in his last few days, he was given individual treatment for his needs.
The G.P. was called in as soon as it was necessary. Nothing was too much trouble. We as a family, wish to thank you all for your love and care shown to us. God bless you all.

From the time my husband was admitted into Filsham Lodge until his very last day their care and support were absolutely outstanding. The Nurses couldn’t have done enough for him and the carers made it a pleasure to visit him even when times got tough. Our family are so grateful for the time they allowed
us at the end to be with him. Would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of a 5-star nursing home.
