Blakelands Lodge

from Julia M (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Thank you to all the staff at Blakelands for the loving care you are giving my mum. I am also incredibly grateful for the way you organised her wonderful 90th birthday celebrations and for the beautiful bouquet of flowers you gave her.
My mum always said she would never go into a care home, but after
a visit for respite she decided to stay and she is so happy with you all. I live abroad so knowing she is safe, well cared for, and surrounded by kindness means the world to me.
Blakelands truly ticks all the boxes. Every time I come to visit it feels like seeing extended family. I cannot thank you enough.

We placed Dad in here for 3 weeks respite care whilst we went on holiday.
Overall impression was that it was extremely clean, staff very professional and friendly, they took time with Dad to make him feel comfortable and to make sure he had the best possible experience!
We will definitely use Thorn

My Dad has been at Thorn Springs since a decline in health and mobility following a stroke in December, and has absolutely flourished since moving here. He raves about the food and the entertainment, but most importantly he feels safe and happy and doesn't feel lonely living alone any more. I cannot
put into words how caring and thoughtful every single member of staff is. They really take the time to listen to any and all concerns and think outside the box when it comes to tricky solutions. The level of care is second to none. They really treat Dad as if he's part of a great big family here and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Reply from HC-One Limited, Administrator at Thorn Springs

Capwell Grange Care Home

from Carol W (Wife of Resident) published on 1 April 2025

My husband was brought into Capwell Grange, Milliner House, just before Christmas. Our family actually wanted him to be here because of its lovely setting, and good reputation. The management and carers have been excellent/amazing. The love and care they show for each person, (even through very difficult
times) has been outstanding. I visit my husband daily for between 2-4 hours, depending on his needs, so I have a good idea what happens there. I have spoken to other relatives visiting and they have all spoken highly of the place and staff. The food is lovely, with large portions as well.

My wife has had two spells of respite care at Blakelands Lodge and the care and respect she has been given have been excellent on both occasions. The staff are very friendly and caring and went out of their way to help both my wife and myself. I'm sure that when she next needs some respite care we
will be going back to Blakelands Lodge for this. Thank you to all the staff and caters there.

My mother has been a resident at this care home for 2 years now. On all my visits - regularly daily mostly - there is always a smile awaiting as you enter the home. The care is exceptional and the facilities are second to none. I have recommended this to friends and acquaintances and have helped a couple
who decided to opt for Thorn Springs, given my experience at the home, who decided on the home for their loved ones.

We looked at a number of Residential homes for mum and were so pleased that we chose Blakelands. Staff amazing, helpful and caring. Facilities second to none. Mum was difficult when we first had to take her but the staff helped to settle her in and she had a wonderful time. She enjoyed the quiz and
going out to the pub, as well as the animals and reptiles that were brought in. She enjoyed wine with her Dinner and made new friends. Cannot praise Blakelands high enough. Ultimate reference is that I have told my kids that when I need to go into a Residential Care Home I want to go here.

Mt mother in law's experience at Ridgeway Lodge Care Home was a happy and very settled one. In fact, she referred to it as her home, which was very comforting to us as her family. She loved her room which was always warm and comfortable for her. She also loved the staff, who were kind, caring, polite
and helpful. They all treated her with such dignity. In fact, they were all amazing and were all very sad when she recently passed away.

Mum put on weight and started using her walker during her 'holiday' (respite care) at Blakelands Lodge. Blakelands was more like a luxury hotel rather than a care home and my siblings and I would have been delighted if she had wanted to stay permanently. The staff were caring and wonderful with her;
hoping she will be back!

Based on my observations during this period I feel that every effort has been made to give my Mother the best care possible. I was concerned about how we would manage the holiday period. However, the range of activities offered helped to make it a relatively stress-free Christmas and I am very grateful
for this. Thank you.
I enjoyed the Christmas party! Great that Mum was encouraged to dance.

Capwell Grange Care Home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was placed in Miliner house for assessment in November 2024. She was cared for wonderfully by the staff and management. They went beyond expectations to look after her during her stay, engaging her in the Christmas activities and constantly checking on her. As her health deteriorated, the
staff provided fantastic care, she was changed and washed daily kept extremely comfortable had a constant flow of tea until her sad demise on 24th January 2025.
I would personally like to thank the hard working staff. The care managers for making her final journey as comfortable as it possibly could have been.

All staff are kind. All staff are professional. Ridgeway Lodge is hygienically clean but there are some minor DIY jobs needed. Windows needs cleaning too.
My Mother is safe and cared for.
Sometimes basic food stuff are not available which seems odd - no porridge!
Food quality and temperature (cold)
is the only thing my Mother complains about.
Everyone is friendly! They don't all wear a name badge.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Ridgeway Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We will ensure your comments are shared with the team so that product availability where there is delivery issues can be monitored along with the temperature of meals served. Additionally, we will review our use of name badges and the general DIY areas you have flagged. We hope you will soon see improvements.

After a friend moved to Ridgeway in the summer, have visited here three times and always found the staff and building environment to be welcoming and friendly. Arriving often after lunch, the cooking smells are fabulous. Christmas decorations and atmosphere are uplifting. Most importantly telling is

Overall I'm pleased that I chose Capwell Grange. The staff are professional but also friendly and caring. The rooms are basic and functional rather than luxurious but perfectly acceptable considering my wife's condition. Similarly the food is quite repetitive but this is understandable because she is
on a pureed vegetarian diet. She is unable to join in any activities but the staff make sure she has access to music which is her only remaining pleasure. The most important thing is that I can leave my wife and be confident that she will be safe and looked after.

The home continue to provide top quality care for my father. Throughout his stay he has had superb support from the staff who really seem to want to go above and beyond to make their residents and the families visiting feel it's their home. The focus on care and quick resolution of any issues is first
class. They also seem to be able to give everyone some attention no matter how awkward some characters of this age / mental capacity can be! I for one have been so impressed and so grateful that we chose this lovely home for my father's final hurrah! My heartfelt thanks for all the support over a difficult period of emotional roller coasters for all involved.
