Overall Experience

When we were looking for a care home, we looked at quite a few. As soon as I walked into Broomfield Lodge it felt very happy and homely, my sister and I knew this was the one. After mum being here just over a year, we couldn't be happier. It took mum a while to settle in which is not surprising, as,

at 92, she was still living on her own with family caring for her.
Just lately, our mum has been unwell. The staff are like part of our family now. Thank you.

Overall Experience

This is a very well run, caring care home.
The communal area is open and bright and I always find it very welcoming.
The staff are very good and professional and I know that the lady I visit always says how well she is looked after.
There is a new activity coordinator who had engaged a number of

residents in a game on my last visit.
The whole place is tidy and very clean and the senior management are very friendly and approachable.

Overall Experience

Broomfield Lodge provides a very pleasant, clean, tidy and friendly home.
The rooms are kept clean and tidy by excellent staff, who keep the home odour free and very clean.
The staff are excellent.
They are caring, supportive, cheerful, helpful and friendly, whilst maintaining a very good professional

level of care.
The food is good and my relative really looks forward to her delicious meals and drinks are plentiful.
The home provides many varied activities throughout the day to keep the residents entertained and encourage activity - both mental and physical.
Great home with a family atmosphere.

Overall Experience

My mother has been in Broomfield Lodge for just about 15 months now. Her dementia and poor eyesight have made it a difficult transition from family home to care home. Due to a recent deterioration in Mums health, the care home management responded by suggesting Mum be moved to a downstairs room with

the added provision of a hospital type bed. This would better enable staff to meet Mum's needs with the use of hoisting equipment to move her safely around the home, with the added benefit of easier monitoring of Mum whilst she is in her bedroom.
We continue to witness staff adapt and respond to her daily needs. I have always found management and staff very polite and approachable.
While no care home will ever fully meet your expectations for your loved one Broomfield Lodge certainly tries.
Would I recommend them to friends and family? Yes, I would!!!

Overall Experience

First impression, helpful, welcoming staff. Warm and comfortable atmosphere. Mum has Alzheimer's and was very confused, withdrawn, frail and thin. Since she has been in Broomfield Lodge she is a different lady. She is happy, chatty and is eating very well. To have peace of mind, knowing Mum is being

cared for is safe. Lovely home. Could not have asked for a better place for Mum to be.

I was always very impressed at the care the residents received during the time I spent at the home. My husband was very well looked after, during his two years stay.

Overall Experience

Broomfield Lodge was, from my initial enquiry visit until my father died, a haven. The staff were kind, caring, professional and fun. They made a difficult experience not only bearable but often happy. The place itself was always warm and welcoming. The activities and subsequently activities worker

were inclusive, fun and appropriate. The support for us as a family was always 100%

Overall Experience

My mum has dementia, she entered Broomfield Lodge having been in hospital for 3 weeks. Mum was unable to walk, eating and drinking minimal amounts. Mum was withdrawn, speaking very little and incontinent. In the five months she has lived at Broomfield Lodge, all of these functions of her life have improved.

Mum walks with a frame and the supervision of one person.
She eats all the lovely food with relish including the once a month treat of fish and chips from the chip shop. Mum remains muddled at times but her anxiety levels have reduced, enabling her to join in with activities, interact with staff and other residents and she has a ready smile for all members of the family when we visit.
It is good to see her settled and this is in no small post due to the very caring friendly staff who take the time and great care to meet all the residents needs. Always a pleasure to visit.

Overall Experience

We have always been very happy with the care given to our mother in the two years she was resident. ALL the staff showed her kindness and consideration. The family were so impressed as well as grateful for the care, compassion and dignity shown to my mother especially in the last weeks of her life.

We could not have asked for a better care home for her.

Overall Experience

After visiting many homes in the area, I am so delighted to have found Broomfield Lodge. It may not be the "poshest" but the staff are amazing. There is a very welcoming atmosphere and every member of staff from the cleaner through to the cook are so helpful and will always acknowledge my mother when

passing (food looks amazing).
Of course, everything is not perfect all the time but they all try their hardest to create a safe, welcoming and happy environment, often under very difficult circumstances.

Overall Experience

Broomfield Lodge is a small home, which feels like being in a family. The staff are friendly, caring and the management always have time to talk with us, the family, and to the residents. It is always clean and tidy, the menu is varied and many of the residents enjoy engaging in the activities - especially

when there is a singer in!
