A relaxed, warm, welcoming atmosphere every time I have visited Croft Lodge. My dad refers to the staff as his family and the place feels like home. I live abroad and can sometimes feel so far away, but knowing that he is safe, secure and happy in this environment means that I do not have to worry. The staff are lovely and it's clear they are passionate about giving quality care that is unique to each resident. I feel like part of the family also! Thank you.

I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all the lovely staff at Croft Lodge, my mother, who passed away last month, hadn't been with you long and despite her previous experience with a care home, she was very happy with you! Words cannot describe the love and care she received - it was second to none - and I really appreciate all you did to make the end of her days as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Thank you all so very much!

My mother, age 93, moved to Croft Lodge in July 2024 after our family discovered that she had been physically assaulted - repeatedly - by patients in another (and far more expensive) Alzheimer's unit in the area. During our hasty search of available places nearby we discovered Croft Lodge and were immediately struck by the contented attitudes of the residents and the warm and friendly staff. Sadly Mum passed away in September after only three months at Croft Lodge, but her final weeks were made pleasant by the caring staff who monitored her closely at all times. She actually enjoyed being taken care of here. The difference in standards between Croft Lodge and her former care home was like night and day, or perhaps I should say like daylight after a long black night. Thank you to all the staff for making a difference in my mother's last weeks.

The overall care was excellent and the staff were always extremely helpful and very supportive. When I visited, I was always welcomed. The standard of the accomodation was very good, especially the bedroom. I am very grateful to the management for helping my partner to regain her health and to enable her to return home after a stay of fourteen weeks. Well done everyone!

During my Mothers's time at Coft Lodge, she always mentions how lovely the staff are when I visit. This is something I have seen firsthand myself with the activities in which they get all the residents involved. The encouragement from staff with these activities has meant that my Mother has made friends with several other residents quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend Croft Lodge to anyone whose loved ones may need care.

It is a difficult decision when the time comes to choose a residential home for a loved one but from the moment we walked into Croft Lodge, we knew our mum would be happy there. Sadly, due to Dementia and age, we knew this would be Mum's last home. We would like to thank everyone at Croft Lodge, for the care, dignity and respect bestowed upon our mum, and her family. This was especially appreciated towards and during her final weeks. Much love and eternal thanks to everyone.

Having arrived in a very poor state with acute sciatica they soon got me getting better and eating again. I was sorry to leave them but they had done their job and I am able to cope for myself now. Mattresses could be better.

Post-hospital stay, my stepmother received appropriate care and support to improve her health and mobility to return home. Team seemed very caring and professional with a personal approach and offered support and advice post-stay. My stepmother certainly thrived in their care.

Croft Lodge is an excellent care home providing a friendly and caring environment for those who can no longer live in their own homes. All staff participate in direct care of those living here whether carers or management and the chefs; all speak with the residents on a regular basis ensuring that they feel respected as individuals.

Really good communication. Always ready to talk. Always friendly. Listened to our concerns. Offered me a hot drink.

From the first moment my sister-in-law moved into Croft Lodge Care Home she was treated with respect and, most of all, made to feel at home. Even as much as putting shelves up to take all of her precious items also making it her home. The staff are all very attentive and caring. Overall, we could not have found a better home for all my sister-in-law's needs. Also, may I say the food is all home-cooked and very tasty and they meet all her needs with very soft foods and find the time to feed her.

My mum has been living at Croft Lodge since July 2022 and she is very happy there. The care staff are exceptionally caring, it seems more than a job for some of them, who seem to have real affection and care for my mum. Honestly, I wish my mum could have more exercise and activity but I think there isn’t enough time for that these days. The food always looks excellent with lovely home-cooked meals, individualised to residents’ needs, for instance, my mum’s weight needs building up, so they add high-calorie ingredients to her meals. The staff know her well and respect her opinions and dignity. I would definitely recommend Croft Lodge, based purely on how happy and calm my mum is there, and that is down to the excellent staff team.

My mum was very well looked after by a fantastic team at Croft Lodge for 3 and a half years. The team were very professional and attentive and met the needs of my mum. We as a family were treated as part of the Croft Lodge family and always felt welcome when we visited Mum. I would highly recommend Croft Lodge. A massive thank you to you all.

My wife has been in Croft Lodge for most of February. She has some medical problems but with the care and excellent attention, she is improving daily. The care staff and management can't do enough to help and I am hoping with her care in Croft Lodge she will be home very soon.

Although only spending a short time, after a period of hospitalisation, at Croft Lodge Care Home, my mother, at 101 years old, not accepting her failing health and fighting it with such a strong will, caused herself and others much distress. The love, care and attention given to her by the staff was so wonderful, giving me so much peace of mind and allowing her, at the end, to pass away peacefully. The respect and dignity shown to her at the end shall always be appreciated.

The carers have been extremely helpful and friendly and have done their very best to ease the way for me. Meals have been very good with plenty of drinks available at all times.

The staff at Croft Lodge are exceptional; they have shown such care and love to my mother that they feel like family. She spent the last few years of her life, including the difficult time of Covid lockdowns, here and was always well looked after and involved in the activities provided. I was so relieved that she was able to return from the hospital after a severe stroke to be cared for by people who knew and loved her. Their cheerfulness and sensitivity are amazing. Sitting with Mum at times of the day and night when visitors aren't normally present, I witnessed the professionalism and courtesy of the dedicated carers. She sadly died earlier this month, but I am indebted to everyone who helped give her a peaceful ending and made her last few years enjoyable.
