My mother is here and I honestly could not fault this care home in any way, they are simply impeccable. She is a nervous lady and is very happy and settled and very comfortable here, her eating has improved so much since being here the care and support they give my mother on a day-to-day basis is nothing short of the very best. If anyone is considering this care home for their loved one you will not be dissatisfied in any way. Incredible, caring, kind, thoughtful, respectful and compassionate.

My dad was sadly only with Aran Lodge for 8 days before passing and I can honestly say they were amazing. They treated my dad with respect and dignity, all the staff were so kind and caring. On my dad's last day with us not only were they there for my dad, but they supported us through every stage of dad's passing and I can't tell you how much that meant to us as a family. I truly believe that if Dad had been with us longer he would have been very happy there. So to all the staff that looked after my dad thank you for everything you did, you were all amazing and to Dad's nurse we will never forget you, we could not have got through that day without you.

I could not have asked for more in my Grandfather's last days than the care he received at Aran Lodge. The way this business runs is so different from the industry standard, not only are residents looked after beautifully, but the families of those residents are welcomed into part of a much wider network of help, support and love. Many friends were made and bonds were built for my family at Aran Lodge and some lasting friendships have been made. A network like this is so rare and incredibly important when dealing with complex issues such as residential or end-of-life care. My Grandfather's final few months were made much easier by the staff who I can't recommend highly enough. The sensitivity they showed when he reached the end of his journey was above and beyond. We are truly grateful for everything that they have done for us.

What a beautiful final resting place for my dad's final days. The staff are outstanding. The facilities and rooms including lounge, bathrooms are spotless clean. I thank you.

Mum was in and out of hospital between April and August 2024 and cared for at Aran Lodge in between. It became her safe space and second home. The team there are kind, caring, and compassionate. They were never too busy to stop and talk to either Mum or any visitors and nothing was too much trouble. Our memories of her time there are positive and we know that she will be missed by them - and us as well.

My husband went into Aran Lodge whilst I had a respite break. I was worried about leaving him but there was no need as he was given first-class care. Nothing was too much trouble. The home was lovely and the staff were excellent and my husband himself said he felt very relaxed and welcome. He said he would certainly go into Aran Lodge again in the future allowing me to have a carefree respite break. Thank you again Aran Lodge.

My husband has been here since June and was made welcome from the start. The staff couldn't be more helpful, friendly and patient towards my husband and attend to all his needs. The rooms are good and the food is 5* and caters for all.

Aran Lodge is a wonderful place. You are always met with a welcome. My wife is comfortable and recognizes the care and attention she receives, she has said that she is indeed in the right place. The staff are caring and kind. Aran Lodge is always clean. I am confident that Aran Lodge could do any more for my wife.

Our mother stayed at Aran Lodge for palliative and end-of-life care. The service, support and care provided by everyone at the home were excellent. The care home provided everything we could ask to give Mum all the dignity and respect we would have wished for during her last weeks. The attention given by all at the care home exceeded our expectations, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential user.

My mother stayed at Aran Lodge for her end-of-life care. I can't speak highly enough of the care and compassion she received. She was only there a short time, but the way she was treated as a person rather than a patient moved me. My mum was a private and proud lady and at all times she was treated with respect and the dignity she deserved. The home was calm and the staff attentive, it was homely and warm. I was touched to see carers just go in and stroke my mum's head, to reassure her. We had dreaded that final moment but she passed in peace and comfort, all of which was given by Aran Lodge and its angels. Everyone took time with us too. Making sure our feelings were included, we were always made to feel welcome. It's fair to say they made a very difficult time much easier. I will be forever grateful. The residents seemed happy and content and each individual's needs were clearly met. If your loved one is lucky to be placed here I want you to know they are in careful and caring hands.

I was so very impressed by Aran Lodge. They provide the best care for their residents that I have ever seen, I know because my mother was in care homes for 8 years. The level of dedication and kindness shown by the staff is remarkable. They engaged with my partner throughout the day, making sure she had everything she needed. A most extraordinary place, with the best staff ever. A big shout out to the manager - who runs the facility with attention and compassion.

I cannot thank all staff at Aran Lodge enough for their professional palliative nursing and care given to my mum over her last four weeks. All staff managed to reach my mum and give her their utmost comfort and care which she needed so much at this time, out of a hospital environment. I will be eternally grateful for your support and kindness to my mum and myself. The staff understood my mum so well and were able to meet all her nursing and caring needs. Even with such health needs, Mum had some really happy and enjoyable days with you, eating and drinking well when she could and interacting with the activities with other residents which gives me enormous peace. Mum’s needs were totally met and I could not ask for more. The home-from-home environment was so peaceful for Mum and myself.

My mum was given a palliative diagnosis recently and could not be cared for within the home environment, she was offered a place at Aran Lodge which has been amazing from the first day. All the staff are very attentive and supportive with all of my mum's daily needs, she is still able to walk from her room into the lounge which they assist with as she walks using a frame. We are very happy with her room and the care and attention she gets from all the staff they are all so kind, and have the time to spend with her during the day when we are not visiting. Mum has the ability to participate in activities which are reading, board games, television, listening to music, and talking to all the staff which she loves We are able to come and go at any time which is really important as we all work different times during the week, and we are able to take Mum out for visits with the support of the staff. It's made a really sad situation much more bearable. Thank you to all.

Would like to say a big thank you to the manager and her team for giving my mum such care and attention during her short time at Aran Lodge. Nothing was too much trouble and effort was made by staff to communicate with Mum as English wasn’t her first language. Thanks again for making my mum’s last few days as comfortable as possible.

My mum was taken into hospital after a fall but her condition worsened and she was eventually transferred to Aran Lodge for end-of-life care. This was a situation we had not, in any way, expected or planned for however the team managed the whole process seamlessly, took great pains to make sure Mum was settled in with the minimum of fuss and then went the extra mile to make sure we were all ok as well. The home is spotlessly clean and tidy, all the team are so kind and caring, the facilities are first-class and we can’t speak highly enough of them all. When Mum eventually passed away, they sat with her (and us) until the end, some of the team wouldn’t even go home as they still had us to look after as well. Aran Lodge has certainly changed our opinion of care homes and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the home and the team to anyone.

During this very sad, difficult, and worrying period of time, I can rest easier knowing that my father is in very good hands. This care home is very well run by a competent leader, and the staff are more than helpful and efficient in everything they do. Thank you Aran Lodge for making my father's last days as comfortable as possible.

Difficult to explain the worry and anxiety and distress at the thought of using a care home. It wasn't something we expected but life sometimes has a way of turning things upside down. So I'd just say that whilst I am still worried about Mum, the Director and her team have been so utterly and incredibly wonderful. They've managed expectations they've looked after Mum so tenderly and beautifully at least I know I don't have to worry about the care she is being given. The environment is homely, it's clean and tidy and food is excellent having seen some proper 'home made cooking' and despite the obvious, you could be forgiven for thinking its a hotel. Whilst I wish no one had to go through such challenging times if it should happen then go visit and you'll get some peace of mind.
