If you want a good care home look no further than Amber Lodge in Westcliff. It is spotless and the staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is top rate. I cannot fault anything. My husband is very happy there and I am pleased I have discovered this Home.

It sounds like Amber Lodge has been a wonderful choice for your husband! It must be such a relief to know he's in good hands and that he's happy here! I'm glad you found us and vice versa.

My mother is here and I honestly could not fault this care home in any way, they are simply impeccable. She is a nervous lady and is very happy and settled and very comfortable here, her eating has improved so much since being here the care and support they give my mother on a day-to-day basis is nothing
short of the very best.
If anyone is considering this care home for their loved one you will not be dissatisfied in any way.
Incredible, caring, kind, thoughtful, respectful and compassionate.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff at Ambika for looking after Mum for the 4 years she was with them, she was treated with the utmost respect, care and consideration and she loved each and every one of them.
Sadly Mum passed away in late November but I am happy that she got
to spend her final days at what she called her "home".
I would absolutely recommend this care home.

My father came to Umika Lodge in March 2023, he had previously had an unpleasant experience in a nursing home in Southend, so we were both a bit apprehensive. However, from when we arrived it was clear we didn't need to be. Umika has a lovely family atmosphere, it was warm and welcoming. Dad had some
major health issues and had several hospital admissions during his time at Umika, he was always pleased to return there when he was discharged. Dad gave the carers quite a few challenges but they rose to and above the challenge every time.
Dad was well cared for during the last months of his life and although it was never easy to leave him when I visited, I was always confident that he was safe and comfortable. The care provided extended to me too, especially during his last few weeks.
I would definitely recommend Umika Lodge to anyone looking for a care home for a relative.

Reply from Kelly Santa Cruz, Acting Home Manager at Umika Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. Dad and yourself are very missed by all. His banter with the staff always brought a smile to our faces. Dad was a pure delight to have as part of our family. We hope you will not be a stranger.

My dad was sadly only with Aran Lodge for 8 days before passing and I can honestly say they were amazing. They treated my dad with respect and dignity, all the staff were so kind and caring.
On my dad's last day with us not only were they there for my dad, but they supported us through every stage
of dad's passing and I can't tell you how much that meant to us as a family.
I truly believe that if Dad had been with us longer he would have been very happy there. So to all the staff that looked after my dad thank you for everything you did, you were all amazing and to Dad's nurse we will never forget you, we could not have got through that day without you.

Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran Lodge

Thank you Sue, I have shared your words with all of our staff so they know how much of an impact they made on you and your family during your time here. All residents are treated as family and knowing you all felt so comfortable and supported means everything to us.

I could not have asked for more in my Grandfather's last days than the care he received at Aran Lodge. The way this business runs is so different from the industry standard, not only are residents looked after beautifully, but the families of those residents are welcomed into part of a much wider network
of help, support and love.
Many friends were made and bonds were built for my family at Aran Lodge and some lasting friendships have been made. A network like this is so rare and incredibly important when dealing with complex issues such as residential or end-of-life care.
My Grandfather's final few months were made much easier by the staff who I can't recommend highly enough. The sensitivity they showed when he reached the end of his journey was above and beyond. We are truly grateful for everything that they have done for us.

Reply from Sunita Warner, Director at Aran Lodge

Even the fact that she visits us on a weekly basis shows how much this place meant to you all. Anyone who comes into this home is treated as an extension of our family, and you and your family were no exception. You are all more than welcome to visit at any time. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind review.

Dad lived here for his end-of-life care. The care he received was second to none. The manager, the nursing sister, and all of the staff were calm, and kind and offered a very dignified and respectful care service to all the residents. Dad was always kept clean, shaved, and always had freshly laundered
clothes and clean bedding. There were regular health professional visits and we were kept informed of any changes in Dad's health. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Dad was obviously happy at Amber Lodge and told us that it was wonderful there and that everything was done for him. He got to know the staff and trusted them with his care.
At the end of his life, a staff member sat with Dad as he passed while the family was travelling to be there. It was a huge comfort to us that Dad wasn't alone.
Many, many thanks to all involved with making the last weeks of Dad's life as comfortable as possible. You all made a difficult situation easier to cope with.

Reply from Veekash Bhowaneesing, Manager at Amber Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We are truly touched by your appreciation, and it means the world to all of us here at Amber Lodge to know that the care we provided, brought comfort to your dad and your family during such a difficult time. It was a privilege to care for your dad and we are so glad to hear that he was happy and at ease with us. Our team provides compassionate and respectful care to all our residents and it's heartwarming to know that our efforts made a positive difference in his final days. Knowing that we could help make his passing peaceful and dignified is a reminder of why we do what we do. Please know that we were honoured to be a part of his care and we are grateful that you trusted us to look after him. Thank you again for your kind message and for taking the time to acknowledge the work of our team. We wish you and your family strength and peace during this time.

I feel very lucky that we found Amber Lodge. I never thought my dad would ever settle within a caring environment - he has dementia and prior to Amber Lodge would always try to get 'home'. He never seemed happy or wanted to be around others. Immediately the staff took the time to get to know him, and
his sense of humour - took my advice on what he liked to do and ways to distract him, while teaching me at the same time.
He has formed good bonds with the staff who treat him with respect and engage in banter which he loves.
They are all so caring and patient. The decor is bright and well-decorated and adds to that comfortable environment. As someone who visits 3-4 times a week, I'm always made welcome and it's a joy to walk in and see how settled and happy he is. I'd recommend this home to anyone.

Reply from Veekash Bhowaneesing, Manager at Amber Lodge Care Home

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. We are truly touched by your message and thrilled to hear that your dad has found comfort and happiness here at Amber Lodge. It's wonderful to know that he has settled in so well and that our team has been able to provide him with the care, respect and attention he deserves. Our goal is always to create a home-like environment where every resident feels understood and valued and it's heartwarming to hear that your dad enjoys his time with us, forming bonds with the staff and engaging in the kind of banter that brightens his days. We are also grateful and look forward to your regular visits. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we'll continue to do everything we can to provide your dad with the best care possible. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Mum was in and out of hospital between April and August 2024 and cared for at Aran Lodge in between. It became her safe space and second home. The team there are kind, caring, and compassionate. They were never too busy to stop and talk to either Mum or any visitors and nothing was too much trouble.
Our memories of her time there are positive and we know that she will be missed by them - and us as well.

Mum knew she was end of life when she moved into Amber Lodge at the end of May but she retained full mental capacity until the end, which came at the beginning of July. She had nothing but praise for the staff who treated her as though she were one of their own family. Her welfare was paramount and
they frequently checked on her and attended to her needs quickly and effectively, identifying when she needed extra help or new medication, and raising their concerns with the GP. Nothing was too much trouble and they remained friendly and cheerful whenever they were with Mum.
Visiting every day, I quickly grew to know the staff and their routines and although they were busy they took the time to look after us as family and friends. They made us welcome at any time of the day.
The room was kept spotlessly clean and housekeeping duties were exemplary. When Mum was unable to eat easily or didn't care for a meal, they found alternatives for her.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amber Lodge.

We are truly honoured that your mum felt so well cared for during her time with us at Amber Lodge. It was a privilege to support her through her final weeks, and we are pleased to hear that she felt like part of our family. The well-being and comfort of our residents is our highest priority, and it means so much to us to know that she was comfortable and well cared for. We are also grateful for your kind recognition of our staff. Their dedication and compassion are at the heart of what we do, and your acknowledgement of their efforts, especially during such a challenging time, is deeply appreciated. It was a pleasure to get to know you and your family during your visits, and we are glad that you felt welcome and supported. Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending Amber Lodge.

My mum has been with Umika since the beginning of May. I have seen a complete change in her for the better, she now joins in in the lounge, her voice is now strong as before it was a whisper where she had spent so much time on her own. She's eating extremely well and now has what she fancies. The staff
are very friendly to both my mum and myself and always have a smile, and will always chat finding that extra minute to speak making you feel that your opinion is valued, I'm so happy that my mum is now living life with them instead of just existing and that is down to Umika staff which I really appreciate. I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the staff as now she's happy I can relax, brilliant care.

Our mother stayed at Aran Lodge for palliative and end-of-life care. The service, support and care provided by everyone at the home were excellent. The care home provided everything we could ask to give Mum all the dignity and respect we would have wished for during her last weeks. The attention given
