Overall Experience

We would like to thank the management and staff at The Old Lodge Etwall on behalf of our family for the care and dedication they gave to our mum while she was with them following a serious illness. The care they gave was compassionate to both ourselves and mum and allowed her to pass away with the utmost

dignity in comfortable surroundings after a long illness. We felt totally at ease and confident at all times that she was receiving the best care by all the staff that always went beyond mark while giving us support to deal with the obvious outcome for our mum. When she finally passed away we visited her to find they had arranged her with flowers in her hands, soft lights and gentle music playing and the final goodbye was something nice to remember after the distress of the weeks before at last, she was at peace.
The staff can only be described as angels without wings.
Special thanks to the caring staff, we will never forget their kindness.

Overall Experience

We cannot possibly thank the matron and all of the staff at The Old Lodge enough, for all of the loving care and attention that my mum received. She was happy and comfortable for the last few months of her life which is all a family could wish for.

She was, through extremely vigilant and attentive

nursing care, kept free of pain and discomfort to pass away peacefully with family at her bedside.

You have all made what is a very difficult time, pass as smooth as it possibly could.

Overall Experience

My mum went into The Old Lodge in May 2013 and is still a resident there. We moved her from another care home where she was not looked after properly and was in a very poor state of health when she arrived at The Old Lodge, but their care instantly turned her around to a more healthy person. From the

day she arrived, the staff have given her the best possible love, care and dignity making her life as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

The home has a very friendly and warm atmosphere and we can find no complaints about the set up there in Etwall. It's set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside and has some fantastic views from most rooms looking out over the farmland. All the staff do their utmost to make residents and their families and friends who visit most welcome. Tea and coffee is always offered to visitors.

We can't praise the home highly enough. We would certainly recommend the home to anyone wanting the best quality of care for their loved one.

Thank you Matron and team.

Overall Experience

My husband was a resident at The Old Lodge for just under 18 months. He had previously spent 8 months in a spinal unit. On arrival at The Old Lodge, he was given a lovely room with views over the countryside. All the Staff were welcoming and very caring to him. My husband had quite a few medical issues

but the staff treated him with dignity, patience and compassion at all times. When I visited I was always welcomed with a smile and given cups of tea and encouraged to join in the various social events which took place over the year.
During the time my husband was a resident, I and my family got to know all the staff, down from the Matron to the cook and handyman and nothing was too much trouble for them.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to the Matron and her staff for supporting my husband, myself and family during this most stressful time. I will never forget their kindness, care and compassion and would certainly recommend The Old Lodge Nursing Home to anyone.

Overall Experience

This nursing home is exceptional. I cannot describe the relief my father, brother and I felt when our mum was admitted for care here after a difficult time in hospital.
People greeted us with friendly smiles and introduced themselves, from the chef to cleaners to carers. It meant so much to us for

her to have received tender loving care during the last month of her life.
They also took excellent care of us, and our family and friends, when we visited. The Matron was just fantastic and set a great tone in the nursing home. The Deputy Manager and Team Leader were so kind, but to be honest all the staff were great. They gave us amazing support through the most difficult time of our lives. My brother is a GP who specialises in palliative care, and he says it's the best nursing home he has ever been to. We feel privileged to have had our mum stay here during her final weeks, and owe them a debt of gratitude.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law was admitted for 2 weeks respite after being in hospital. After the 2 weeks, she would have to go back to her own house and have home help 3 times a day.
She did not get any better so the care home managed to find a permanent room for her and in her final days, they took excellent

care of her and nothing was too much for them in making her comfortable.
She passed away on the 21st October having been looked after by some excellent staff and we can not thank them enough for their excellent care they gave her.

Overall Experience

My mum was a resident at Old Lodge for 13 months before she passed away in June 2015. She had a devastating stroke in April 2014 and transferred to the Old Lodge in May 2014. She was unable to communicate her needs and was physically disabled and needed to feed through a tube in her tummy.
All of

The Old Lodge staff regardless of their role treated my mum and all of our family with dignity respect humour kindness and compassion. We felt fully included in all of mums care and were always made so welcome.
Matron and her team run a pristine homely and attractive looking home whilst maintaining very standards of care.
We cannot thank the staff enough for the care that mum received.
