Overall Experience

Dad's room is kept clean and tidy, and all the staff I have met have been kind and courteous at all times. Any questions I have had have been dealt with promptly. The kitchen does remarkably with the variety of food, and the attention they pay to each clients individual diet. I am very happy that dad

is at Hunters Lodge because of the quality of care he receives.

Reply from Lauren Elliot, Assistant at Hunters Lodge

Overall Experience

My grandfather is really well looked after and cared for here and wouldn't want him anywhere else.
Since residing at the care home, he's much more settled and doesn't want to leave which is lovely to see.
The carers are always making sure residents are happy, fed and well presented.
Rooms are well

maintained and cleaned to a high standard.
The food selection on offer is outstanding and the care is amazing. They, not only, give amazing care and attention to the residents but also care and look out for the wider family too. Nothing is too much for anyone and I am always welcomed with a smile.
Makes visiting an enjoyable experience and means you are getting quality time with your loved one.

Our mum has been a resident at Hunters Lodge for several months and we've been really pleased with the experience. The rooms are recently furbished, it's very clean, the standard of care and attention to detail is high and the food excellent and varied. The staff are kind and helpful. Highly recommend.

On the 25th of March 2024, my wife became a resident at Hunters Lodge. During the past 3 months, I have visited her most days and I cannot fault the care and attention that she receives. The staff are all very friendly, caring, and welcoming, the food is great, (and plenty of it) and the overall ambience

is bright, airy, and refreshing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hunters to anyone needing similar care.

Overall Experience

I have visited many care homes in a professional capacity over the years, some were good and some were dire to say the least. Hunters Lodge is in a class of its own, as it is extremely good. When my mother first arrived at the home she was reluctant to stay and let me know of her displeasure and of

course I was reluctant to leave her there. However over time she has become a different person, and appears to thrive well amongst people of her own age. The food at the home is very good (non-residents can have a meal with their loved ones) and I would recommend anyone who has the chance to do so, it gives residents a sense of normalcy.
I have observed the staff and how they interact with residents and I am comfortable leaving my mum in their charge. I have also observed how certain health and safety issues (including fire safety) and these are dealt with well within compliance. I thank management and staff for a job well done.

Reply from Lauren Elliot, General Assistant - English Oak Care Homes at Hunters Lodge

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased your mum has settled in well and you also are enjoying taking meals with her at the home. It's always a good idea to stop by for our chef's homemade cake! It's wonderful to hear you feel the home is well managed in response to any issues and our staff are taking great care of everyone.

Overall Experience

My aunty is a resident in this care home, we first visited her there in February for a Birthday party with my cousins (her children). The staff made us very comfortable and were very welcoming, they had made all the food including a birthday cake. Since our visit, my aunty has been interacting with

the other service users and seems very happy in the home's environment. We are regularly updated via pictures taken by my cousins and sister when they visit on a regular basis.
I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to all the staff and management for the works that they have undertaken on behalf of my aunty and the excellent care of the other service users within the home, that I have observed.
Well done.

Reply from Lauren Elliot, General Assistant for English Oak Care Homes at Hunters Lodge

I feel we have finally found the perfect home for my mother. The Hunters Lodge has welcomed her with open arms. Myself and family have already experienced their amazing hospitality with a delicious Mother's Day lunch. All members of staff from management right the way to the chef and her kitchen staff

are so professional, friendly and always willing to help.
My mother is always clean, well-fed, her hair has never looked so good and bedroom spotless. Thank you ‘Hunters Lodge’ for all your wonderful care.

I cannot praise every single member of staff at Hunters Lodge highly enough. Please believe me that they are carers not just staff who work there. My beloved husband has just passed away after 2 years of residency there. During that time his needs changed considerably but every change was catered for

and I was consulted about them. He was looked after with respect and genuine warmth. I was always made to feel very welcome and indeed I intend to visit to support any forthcoming events. I am so grateful to you all at Hunters Lodge for making both of our lives as best they could be throughout this time.

Overall Experience

It was the hardest thing in the world to have to place my Mum into a care home last November, after being told by professionals that she was no longer able to live alone. From the moment I was shown around Hunters Lodge, I knew that this was the place for Mum. It's so light and clean, the meals are

of excellent standard and the staff that I have met have all been exceptional. The garden is lovely, with safe paths and Mum has been delighted with the entertainment and the surprise of arranged animal visits! I am just so pleased that Hunters Lodge was found in time. The worry never goes away but it does lessen knowing that Mum is in the hands of such caring and dedicated staff.

Overall Experience

My dad has been at Hunters for 4 months now following a couple of respite stays. We knew from his first stay that this was the right place for him when he needed full-time care. The staff are all amazing and take such fantastic care of Dad and go over and above to make sure he is safe and happy.
Dad's

needs have changed since his arrival and every adjustment that has been required has been handled with care and dignity.
All of my family that visit every week are made to feel welcome and included and has allowed us to make more memories while we can. We can’t thank the whole team enough for everything they do every single day for Dad and our family.
I can’t recommend Hunters enough for what they do every single day.

Hi Sarah, thank you so much for your lovely words about our team at Hunters Lodge. It has been wonderful to hear that you are so happy with the care provided to your dad. We hope he is enjoying his time with us as much as you enjoy visiting. We are so pleased to be a part of helping you make new memories with your family.

My mother came to Hunters Lodge for respite following a stay in hospital with symptoms associated with delirium.
She was treated with kindness and respect at all times and I found the staff to be professional and cheerful.
On the many occasions I visited, I was always welcomed with a smile and a

cup of tea!
If you are looking for a Home for a loved one who has dementia or a similar diagnosis I would not hesitate to recommend Hunters Lodge.

While he was able to, he always reassured us that he was very well looked after and that the food was always plentiful and very good. We found the staff to be very caring and cheerful.

Thank you for all you did for my father.

My mother was transferred to Hunters Lodge having been neglected and uncared for at a previous care home. Within half an hour of arriving at Hunters Lodge, Mum was settled with a cup of tea and biscuits. I cannot fault this home. The staff are so caring and compassionate towards every resident. Since

arriving at Hunters Lodge the change in my Mum has been amazing. The home is of a very high standard and kept so clean and most importantly all the staff provide a high standard of care. The home is excellent at communicating with the family and keeping us fully informed.
For the first time in 4 years, we felt relaxed enough to go on a holiday knowing the care being provided is excellent and Mum was being well looked after and cared for.
I would highly recommend this home.

All the staff made what could have been such a difficult and stressful transition moving my mother from her home into Hunters Lodge into a stress-free move. They understood all of the family's worries and fears and took time to put us all at ease giving us confidence that my mother is now in safe, kind

caring hands. My mother's dementia journey has been a swift rocky one and Hunters Lodge have always been ahead on continuously adjusting her care plan to suit her developing needs. Along with the great food, entertainment, garden area, hairdressing, extra services, immaculate cleanliness and laundry (and the odd party or two), this has been the perfect hotel for my mother to stay in.

Took my dad at very short notice as my mum was taken into hospital. Home is like a 5-star hotel food is exceptional and the care my dad received in the 5 weeks he was there was brilliant. Special mention to one of the activities ladies who hadn’t been there long herself but was fantastic with my dad.

Only wished we could have afforded to keep my dad there but it was over our budget. Thank you to everybody who helped especially the manager who was great.

I was really concerned about my mum going into a care home, I was not sure if she would have settled. There was no need for my concerns as Hunters Lodge is a very friendly, warm, professional environment and my mum settled in without any problems. I can honestly say that the staff are attentive and

always look into any little needs that my mum has. The head chef is one of the most friendly and happy members of staff and is always asking if I would like to join my mum with lunch, tea and birthday treats etc. When there is any health concerns regarding my mum, the staff always inform me of any changes to her medication or the need for a doctor visit. I am more than happy with the care that my mum receives from Hunters Lodge and all the staff. I would definitely recommend this care home to anyone that is thinking of this.
