Overall Experience

The Old Lodge Nursing home. Simply beautiful. Management, Matron and staff have been fantastic throughout my Mum and Dad's stay. The Home is immaculately clean and it is clear in every aspect of the way it is run that the foremost priority is for the health and well-being of the residents. Matron's

enthusiasm for the care of her residents flows down to the care staff. The management team and highly skilled professional nursing staff provide exemplary care and no nursing home could have done more.

We, with illness and COVID, were unable to see Mum but through family and friends who did visit found Mum being looked after with respect, dignity and empathy and the staff were always there to attend and help. We cannot thank Matron and all the staff enough for the care shown to our Mum and Dad. We would not hesitate to recommend The Old Lodge to anyone, they not only look after the residents but family and friends too. With Kindest Regards and Respect. Love on you all.

Overall Experience

Our mother who suffered with Alzheimer's dementia was looked after at The Old Lodge Nursing Home for almost 4 years. She went there after suffering a broken leg because of a fall at her previous care home. She never became mobile again but was given fantastic care by all the staff, right to the very

end. All of the staff were very patient and good with Mum and we could tell she liked them. We the family were very grateful for all the compassion and care that was given to Mum. We wanted to make sure that someone from the family was there with her at the end and they made sure that this happened when the time came and Mum had a very peaceful passing. We would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone who had friends or family who needed care. Thanks to all the staff that looked after Mum for all that time.

Overall Experience

My partner and I lost his mum in February 2024 after a brief stay at the Old Lodge Nursing Home where she moved to after a fall at her original care home, resulting in a broken hip. She had dementia, and the time she spent in hospital was very distressing for her and us as she was used to being mobile

but this was taken away from her. Her hospital stay was prolonged due to contracting COVID followed by an infection in the wound of her hip replacement. The Old Lodge were so supportive during this period, keeping a room available and working with us and for us to get Mum released from hospital and home to them. Thanks to the superb care provided by the matron and her team our Mum soon settled in and became less agitated. When we visited the staff were friendly, welcoming and always offered us a drink. When we sadly lost Mum, the Matron and the team again stepped up providing support to us during a difficult time. Thank you, your respect, care and empathy was greatly appreciated.

Overall Experience

The staff at The Old Lodge clearly understand how it feels for a loved one to have to move into a home - both what it represents for the person and for their family. As such the care and kindness they show is warm and tailored to the individual, as if they were caring for their own loved one. The atmosphere

here does not feel like a typical nursing home, there is a real sense of family here. Matron has instilled an ethos of dignity, compassion and kindness that all of the staff personify. She is so worthy of the trust put in her by all the residents' loved ones, and has been an unfailing support to our family. The chef and the kitchen staff provide wonderful food, and have been so accommodating of Mum's tastes and needs, as well as ours when we visit. The nursing staff have gone above and beyond for Mum, showing genuine care and concern for her needs and her wellbeing.

Finding ourselves with a family member in full-time care has been a difficult thing to come to terms with. The Old Lodge has been amazing in supporting us through this. They've quickly made us all feel at ease and have become our second family. Staff are professional, friendly and incredibly caring.

There is a lovely atmosphere in the communal spaces.
My husband has been a resident of Old Lodge for 18 months now and the care he has received has been outstanding. He is treated with dignity, respect and a loving care by all staff.
They have supported us in celebrating family milestones together and making more precious memories something we are so grateful for.
Thank you to everyone at The Old Lodge for easing this very difficult time for us.
We are happy to recommend them to anyone who is looking for high-quality nursing care.

I would like to express my deepest thanks to The Old Lodge Nursing Home. The whole team, are just amazing. My father became a resident back in January and he was with them till nearly the end of April when he sadly passed away.
The level of care he received was truly outstanding. When he first arrived,

the Matron, assured us all guests were treated like family, they were true to their word and some. My sister and I both felt included, made to feel welcome every time we visited. The food is fantastic, with a large variety for residents to choose from. The rooms are bright, spacious and cleaned extremely well, regularly and whenever needed. A 5-star level of dignity for all guests.
The building is beautiful, a proper country home meets nursing care medical centre.
As I said before the whole team are amazing, but more specifically, Matron. She is wonderful, I felt reassured immediately upon meeting her. Thank you again for everything what a wonderful job you all do

Reply from Khadiga Orta, Registered Manager at The Old Lodge Nursing Home

It is our privilege to to provide the very best care for loved ones including their families recognizing the uniqueness of each individual is fully understood and respected by our ethos of care. It is very heartwarming and rewarding for my staff and I to receive such a positive evaluation of the care we deliver every day throughout the year. Reviews and positive comments always are very uplifting for staff who work extremely hard day in and day out to achieve the above results. Thank you so much, Matron.

My father-in-law was admitted to The Old Lodge Nursing Home in October 2023 following a fall that resulted in a broken hip. The care he received was excellent. The staff were professional, caring and friendly. Sadly, my father-in-law died at the beginning of January but we know the last weeks of his

life were spent in the best place he could have been with wonderful, caring staff.

From the moment I contacted the Old Lodge, the team were so incredibly helpful and supportive. I desperately needed a room for my grandma with her rapidly changing needs and, having visited, I knew this would be the best place for her. It was so clean with tasteful decor and there was such warmth in

the atmosphere in the home every time I visited. The attention to detail of the (Matron) and her team is immeasurable and their respect and loving nature towards their residents are simply amazing. Every single member of the team is friendly and welcoming and I will be forever grateful that my granny was able to be cared for by such a dedicated team.

Reply from Naomi Laing, Administrator at The Old Lodge Nursing Home

We are very grateful for being appreciated by families who are inspirational such as yourself. Equally, you have been exemplary in all aspects of care for your Grandma. Myself and my staff are with the understanding that care is not just a task, it is a vocation, which as a Manager I know it has been adopted by The Old Lodge Nursing Home. Thank you for taking the time to write your review.

I had to move my stepmom due to dementia related episodes from a previous nursing home, supported by social services. Myself I came from a performance driven organisation, I needed to support my stepmom with 100% quality nursing care, with love and assurance this would be possible. On initial first

asking and monitoring actions across a wide range of activities, I could not fault this nursing home! This had already been established, communicated within everyone who was committed towards total quality of exceptional personal care. All staff take pride in everything they do, and are happy in doing so! They provide a fantastic service always going that extra mile to ensure all residents, families, third parties and their own staff are accounted for. Communication is second to none. Delicate and personal situations dealt with, always professional, treated with sincerest empathy, guidance direction and support. This is down to the team, and the vision of its matron. Thank you!

Overall Experience

Like most families, we were devastated to put Dad in a Nursing Home after Hospital, but his resulting complex health needs gave us no choice. However, we considered ourselves and Dad blessed to have found The Old Lodge. From the moment we viewed, to seeing day after day, the passion, dedication and

care every staff member showed him, (regardless of role), we knew Dad could not have been in better hands. The team are truly special and is a credit to the matron, whose empathy, compassion and absolute love for her role, shine through. It was so apparent every person caring for Dad shared the same ethos as the matron. It is hard to convey just how exceptional this place is. Dad very sadly passed away in August 2023 and my family and I will never forget the truly outstanding care he received. The whole team treated Dad with such respect and dignity and consequently, this gave such comfort to us and to my Mum, who for the first time in 68 years, was without her adored partner.

To hand over the care of one's own loving mum is indeed a massive step for a family, which the Matron at The Old Lodge intuitively understands. She and her staff worked tirelessly to provide our Mum with consistently excellent nursing care for her body and mind over a period of five years. The family

could not have been made to feel more welcome and we were fully consulted and included. The Home is immaculately clean and it is clear in every aspect of the way it is run that the overriding priority is the health and well-being of the residents. Simply outstanding.

Dad has been at Old Lodge for just over a month, having spent 7 months in hospital previously. The care he has received has been exceptional, with kindness being shown by all members of staff to Dad. His mental health has changed completely, from being very introverted and quiet to now showing normal

facial expressions, having an interest in his surroundings and his appearance, plus his appetite is now back to normal. Thanks to everyone at Old Lodge for your work and care, so far.

Staff always make her feel welcome and look after my brother day and night 24/7 and there is always someone for me to ring to check on him. As

you go in, it's absolutely immaculate and clean, always someone in my brother's room cleaning to ensure 5-star hygiene. They even paid for equipment for epileptic needs out of their own pocket and we're extremely grateful for that. A 5-star care home for people in need of professional care.

Overall Experience

My partner moved to The Old Lodge for, what turned out to be, the last 6 weeks of his life. During those 6 weeks, I witnessed a standard of care that was second to none. The manager's infectious enthusiasm for the care of her residents filtered down to the care staff and no one could have done more.

The nurses were attentive and kept me well informed regarding his condition. He was looked after with respect, dignity and empathy and the staff were always full of life which transferred to the residents. I directly observed the skills of the staff and how they reflected the individual needs of the resident and even though we were in the most difficult of times, everything was cleaned and wiped down after every visit. The food was excellent and adjusted to meet his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend The Old Lodge to anyone, they not only look after the residents but the family too. I stayed with my partner for the last 3 days and was checked on, given lunch and dinner as well as tea.
