My father came to Umika Lodge in March 2023, he had previously had an unpleasant experience in a nursing home in Southend, so we were both a bit apprehensive. However, from when we arrived it was clear we didn't need to be. Umika has a lovely family atmosphere, it was warm and welcoming. Dad had some major health issues and had several hospital admissions during his time at Umika, he was always pleased to return there when he was discharged. Dad gave the carers quite a few challenges but they rose to and above the challenge every time. Dad was well cared for during the last months of his life and although it was never easy to leave him when I visited, I was always confident that he was safe and comfortable. The care provided extended to me too, especially during his last few weeks. I would definitely recommend Umika Lodge to anyone looking for a care home for a relative.

My mum has been with Umika since the beginning of May. I have seen a complete change in her for the better, she now joins in in the lounge, her voice is now strong as before it was a whisper where she had spent so much time on her own. She's eating extremely well and now has what she fancies. The staff are very friendly to both my mum and myself and always have a smile, and will always chat finding that extra minute to speak making you feel that your opinion is valued, I'm so happy that my mum is now living life with them instead of just existing and that is down to Umika staff which I really appreciate. I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the staff as now she's happy I can relax, brilliant care.

It's a lovely and caring home and would recommend it to anyone. I am always pleasantly surprised when I walk through the door to see my mother, there is no nasty smells. All the staff are lovely and always have a smile.

Just wanted to update my review from last year. My nan is so settled in Umika Lodge Care Home, she has made so many new friends. The staff are also fantastic and you can see how much they care about their residents. My nan continues to thrive being at Umika Lodge and as a family, we are forever grateful to all of the staff for ensuring she is always safe, happy and well looked after. My nan also enjoys all of the daily activities Umika Lodge provides, and considering she has never really been someone who bakes or plays games, it’s been lovely to see her enjoying herself. Thank you all.

Our dad recently passed away at Umika Lodge after a long battle with dementia. I cannot praise the home and staff enough. The home is clean, bright and well-maintained. The staff are all brilliant and showed such a lot of care for our dad. Over the last few weeks, we visited daily and were welcomed every time and looked after. A big thank you.

My mother took up residence at the Umika Lodge 6 months ago. She has completely settled in and is very happy there. The staff are caring, friendly and easy to talk to. My mother loves the freshly cooked food and eats very well. She enjoys the external entertainer/singer and dances along. The staff made a fuss of my mother on her 80th birthday recently, which we really appreciated.

My mum came to Umika Lodge in September 2021 and the difference in her is absolutely amazing. At home, she was not eating or taking her medication, but the home have somehow managed to help her put weight on and taking her medication is not a problem anymore. The staff are loving and very attentive and I know my mum has her down days but the staff are wonderful with her. If anyone is worried about putting their loved ones into Umika Lodge, all I can say is don't be. They are very professional and nothing is too much trouble. The parties they do for their residents are fantastic and my mum loves having a good dance and sing along. Well done all at Umika Lodge, keep up the good work.

My mum is being cared for at Umika Lodge and the staff are absolutely brilliant, nothing is too much trouble for them. My mum is always laughing and joking with them. They put on a lovely party for my mum's 80th birthday and I cannot fault them.

The staff at Umika Lodge are amazing. They made my mum feel at home, right from the start and treat her with respect and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are all very friendly when I go to visit Mum and even pop into the room for a chat when they are free. They make you feel very welcome and part of the family.

I had a really bad fall and came to this care home, which was excellent in every way. I could not have asked for any better in the way of help and care. I was feeling very low and all the help that I received was good for my recovery. I needed to be fit to fly and all the staff had helped me on my way.

Manager and staff most helpful and senior staff and carers were excellent. Cleanliness of service staff was excellent. Kitchen staff and cook, could not have asked for any better. My partner very much loves the Cherry Pie and eats all his dinners (really great). TV in his room and carer looking out for him made him feel good and progress to get and feel well in himself gave him the confidence to get well from a really bad fall in his home.

Since the care home has been under new ownership, the care and facilities have improved to a much higher standard. The cleanliness and decor were changed immediately and I was impressed by the new menu. The management and care staff are very friendly which gives the impression of a family run home.
