My mother has been a resident of Pulsford Lodge for the last 18 months, during which time the level of care and support she has received has been excellent and she has, very importantly, always been treated with dignity. Her room is of a good standard and kept clean. The food is well presented with good selections. Activities appear to be plentiful and very well planned. All dealing with management have been extremely positive and financial matters have always been dealt with in a very professional way. In summary, an all-round excellent care home, which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone without reservation.

My father went to Pulsford Lodge in March 2023. The level of care was fantastic, he was looked after so well by all the staff, the kitchen staff, the activities ladies, the nurses and the carers, sometimes they all went above and beyond his needs. The food was amazing and would always get him an alternative if didn't want what was on the menu (although he ate most things) At the end of his life all the staff were so kind, providing us with tea and food if we wanted it. I would highly recommend Pulsford Lodge.

Our mum was becoming more and more incapable of living at home due to dementia and for us as a family, it was a great relief when she was admitted to Pulsford Lodge in August 2023. The staff are caring and capable and always welcoming when we visit. Mum is well looked after and supported. The activities are interesting and stimulating and the food looks good. Overall and excellent home-from-home!

Pulsford Lodge offers an amazing care service. We participated in seasonal activities (salt dough decorations) as well as being surrounded by Christmas decorations and festive cheer being December. It was fantastic to see everyone involved and included.

We attended the Easter fete. All the staff were friendly, however not much going on for children. Gran enjoys the activities. Children were welcomed and involved in truffle-making activity when visited at Christmas.

My mum moved into Pulsford Lodge last August when she was finding it harder, and wasn't safe to be living alone. I have been so pleased with how well she has settled in. I think this is mostly down to the staff at Pulsford. I can't fault it in any way. They are all so friendly and welcoming when I visit. It is always so clean. The food always looks good. It has a homely feel about it. All the residents seem just as happy as Mum, and I enjoy my visit.

After a fall last year, my mum had respite care at Pulsford Lodge - the whole experience was fantastic. Staff, cleanliness, food - superb. Mum did come home, but now does one day a week at Pulsford Lodge with a view we may increase this - we are receiving the same first class we had previously experienced.

I have nothing but praise for the staff. My sister-in-law requires an enormous amount of patience which is extremely difficult when they are short-staffed. In my experience, those that deal with her are always kind, understanding and thoughtful. Her room felt rather small during COVID, but she seems to feel secure.

Staff are welcoming and polite. Care home gives a warm pleasant atmosphere.

I have enjoyed my time here, but I do feel more carers are needed at times. The people (residents) and staff are friendly, and I feel I've known them all my life. All the staff are helpful.

My Mother was at Pulsford Lodge for a number of years. She loved her room, enjoyed all of the activities. The staff were kind considerate and caring. The home and her room were always clean and tidy with a welcoming atmosphere. We could not be more happy with the way she was looked after. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

We think staff have done remarkably well during the pandemic. The care given to our mother has been wonderful. Again our thanks to you all.

I have been pleased, impressed and reassured by the way Pulsford Lodge staff have cared for my mother during Covid times when I have not been able to visit. The staff take the time to keep me informed of my mother's health and about how the care home has been fairing. Thank you all so much. My only suggestions for improvements would be for residents to be able to contribute; such as food preparation and for there to be hens in the garden.

My Father had a stay in Pulsford Lodge ( 12 months plus ) where he was very happy he found all the staff very helpful and friendly and the food was great even visitors were always offered tea coffee etc on arrival. My father and family would highly recommend Pulsford Lodge.

The environment and care at Pulsford Lodge is exceptional. The building is light with lots of small lounges, a lovely dining room and pretty garden. My mother was very happy there and the staff were very respectful, caring and kind. The food was excellent freshly cooked with plenty of variety. When my mother was taken ill, the staff were very professional and efficient. I would be very happy to recommend Pulsford Lodge to anyone.

I am very pleased with Pulsford Lodge. The environment and the care of my mother is very good. I have only praise for the home and all of its staff. They are very good.

The care given to all residents is amazing, very relaxed and happy home. Nothing is too much trouble and the home is kept very clean yet not clinical. Having worked in elderly care myself for many years in various homes I feel Pulseford excels in both its care and environment. Since arriving in June 2017 my nan has been cared for so well that I can actually not be her carer but her granddaughter over for a cup of tea. Excellent activities and the food is great too.

My father lived at Pulsford Lodge for six years before his death on 27th July 2017. On recollection, we could not have chosen a better care home for him to be in. He was happy and all the staff whatever level were always kind and considerate and the care and attention he was afforded during his last few weeks were quite exceptional. A first class care home.
