Overall Experience

My father-in-law has been here a while, and I live just 10 minutes away - very convenient for us. My father-in-law is so sweet - it makes him very popular. He always is so grateful for everything - thank you for visiting, thank you for helping, thank you for a cup of tea. But what's different about

this place. Number 1 you already should know Stanton Lodge is for couples where one has dementia. And it offers an unparalleled support and care mechanism for residents and their families. Number 2 you might not know. The next-of-kin(s) (NOKs) are a family too. We all know each other's parents and look out for them and support them. It's not unusual on a Sunday afternoon for 10 of us to congregate in one of the common rooms - we'll make tea for the residents - last week someone brought in a great-great-grandchild and introduced the little one to all the residents in the lounge. My father-in-law was most impressed. I don't know, he may prefer Dora the dog. Check it out!

Overall Experience

My mother has been at Stanton Lodge for just under a year.
She feels well supported, enjoys the company of fellow neighbours.
Values the independence, she can maintain, but so grateful that there are extremely capable staff available day and night.
As her family, we have peace of mind, that she is

safe and happy.
Management and staff very approachable.

Overall Experience

Stanton Lodge has proved to be the ideal solution to our parents' problems (father suffering from dementia and mother almost blind). They can live there together in their own flat, while completely reassured by the excellent 24/7 care. They enjoy regular activities and the companionship of other residents.

The atmosphere is reassuring yet stimulating, as required by people with dementia and our father has taken up the piano again, after a gap of several years! Their chosen meals are delivered to their own flat, which feels like home to visiting family members. There are trips out to the care home next door with its bistro, hairdressing salon, etc. or further afield for lunch or tea. Regular meetings are held to consult residents and next of kin. We know that when one of our parents passes away, the other can stay on and be cared for. Meanwhile, both parents and the extended family are delighted and thankful to have discovered this excellent facility.

Overall Experience

My parents moved to Stanton Lodge 3 years ago. My Mother had dementia and within 6 months of moving she needed a lot of care on a 1 to 1 basis. We were so pleased we moved them to this facility where she was cared for until she passed away last year. The staff understand dementia and how to deal

with it. They saved my sanity on more than one occasion. Dad continues to live in his beautiful one bedroom flat with big bathroom, kitchen, lounge & dining room. He (and I) are relieved he is there as he has company 24-7. He can opt in/out of activities so never feels alone - very important when you are widowed. Dad feels very safe and cared for at Stanton. He is now in a wheelchair and has help with small household tasks. I feel relieved because if he does ever need more care I can make arrangements for this to happen immediately. I felt instant relief once they moved in and I knew they were safe and cared for. As a daughter, this gave me piece of mind and my life back.

Overall Experience

Stanton was an ideal solution for my parents 4 years ago as Mum had dementia and Dad needed help to cope with it. She enjoyed the help from carers and especially the communal activities. When she died we knew Dad could stay in his flat and he had the support of the staff and his neighbours.
Now he

needs care himself and we are happy that he is safe and receiving excellent support from very friendly staff in his own home as well as being part of a very close community. My brother and I appreciate the network of other relatives and working with the professional management.

Stanton Lodge is an innovative solution for couples where one has dementia and the other is a carer. The staff are exceptional and the care is of a very high standard. The staff are friendly and always willing to help.

Overall Experience

The atmosphere at Stanton Lodge is friendly and the staff see residents as individuals and not as 'units'. The properties are well thought out with space to feel homely but not overwhelmingly large and there are activities should people want them. Staff respond to emergency calls quickly and efficiently

which makes for a sense of security. As a relative, I have no worries about the safety of family living here and the care is very good.

Overall Experience

Good facilities, comfortable communal space with activities and special events, a nice garden space and spacious flats. Meals can be bought from a varied menu. Fitzwarren Court facilities nearby are also available to residents - providing a bistro, library and hair salon. The care staff are very competent

and friendly and being a small building of only 14 flats (specialising in support for couples where one has dementia) it has a family feel, as all residents and carers get on well together and are quite a close community. Next of Kin's also have a good network.

The site manager has been excellent and proactive, dealing with any issues promptly and overseeing the Stanton Lodge (assistant) manager and staff. My parents moved there about 5 years ago, ideally, care can be adjusted as and when required. My father is a widower now and he has benefited from the care and support of staff and residents. He often says "I couldn't be in a better place as everyone is so kind and look after me well".

Overall Experience

Both my parents moved into a flat in Stanton Lodge in 2011 when my mother was in the early stages of dementia.
My father had support from the other residents when my mother deteriorated and needed more care, as well as from the staff.
There is a lovely family atmosphere between the residents who

are dementia patients and their spouses.
Eventually my mother became very disabled with dementia and needs full-time care, which is compassionate and respectful.
My father died in 2016 and my mother continues to be cared for well in her flat and spends most of the time in the communal lounges with the other residents and enjoys the daily activities.
When my father was unwell he was also well cared for at home by the carers.
Many of the carers have been there long term and the residents and their families have good relationships with them.
