Mum has been looked after with love, care and consideration. The staff are amazing taking the time to make sure mum's opinions and washes are taken into consideration and her interests are encouraged. Everyone is friendly, happy to chat and information is updated regularly, lots of activities happening each week and mum is encouraged to take part.

Since my mum moved into the home, the staff have gone out of their way to get to know her and make sure she is happy and safe. They encourage her to continue doing the things she loves, which is being helpful. They spend time with her and give her the chance to get out and help with the gardening, which means so much to her. The home has a lovely atmosphere and all the staff go above and beyond to make sure their residents are happy and cared for! I'd definitely recommend Bemerton Lodge to everyone.

Good response from management on admission, fast with minimum fuss. Very considerate of resident-to-be. Very helpful with admin contracts etc. Staff are very helpful and positive at all times with residents and relatives/visitors.

The way my father-in-law was admitted quickly with minimum fuss was excellent. He is very well looked after. He always looks clean and well-presented. All the staff I have met have been lovely with my father-in-law and me. They seem to go out of their way to make the residents feel valued and loved. There is always an activity going on and he even went out for a walk last weekend. Excellent all round.

After a quick 'take a look' visit, our father didn't want to leave and has stayed at Bemerton Lodge since. This from a stubborn, independent and well focused man who has always struggled to feel included with others. He immediately felt settled, taken care of and above all else safe and secure. Visiting him is always made easy by the marvelous, welcoming and caring staff. Nothing is too much trouble, questions answered and the delight in father's face on seeing them, you just are so reassured he's in the best place. The lodge is spotlessly clean and fresh in his room, the activities, TV and dining rooms. Three meals a day mixing with other residents, arts and crafts all with the security of his safety at night. Thank you.

My mother has been in the home for nearly six months now and has finally settled into her new life there. She participates in many of the daily activities that are created and appears to be engaging fully with the staff and care nurses. The staff are always on hand and supportive to all in the home. They also look after visitors and discuss any issues with the relevant family members, keeping them informed of any problems promptly.

I am a volunteer at Bemerton Lodge. I have seen over the past months how amazing all the staff are with the resident. Every staff member knows the name of each resident, knows their preferred tea or coffee, joining activities or just watch, who likes 4 bingo cards and who needs a little help. If a resident is sitting alone, I have seen a staff member just go sit the table quietly. They know who likes to a read a newspaper and who likes to do a puzzle. Everyone is treated beautifully

It has been two months since I came here and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The staff are great and have plenty of activities and have many friends.

Not at all what I expected! It is a whole new way of life, very caring and professional, happy, lively, a lovely place to be where one feels very secure. Nothing is too much trouble and all the staff have a very positive, patient and loving approach to whatever situation they are confronted with. There is always plenty of company around which is very important.

My dad has settled into Bemerton Lodge extremely well. Bemerton Lodge has a vibrant atmosphere thanks to the friendly and caring staff. It feels like a home rather than an institution. Dad is encouraged to keep active and to be part of the community. Dad likes to be helpful and staff have found inventive ways to enable him to do this safely. I get the impression when I visit, that the staff genuinely care about Dad. He seems happy.

I found all the staff very friendly and helpful. I found the meal selection very good also.

The manager and team communicate well and often go the 'extra mile'. The environment appears fresh and clean. A resident hairdresser would be great - staff are very obliging when they have time. Some lighter chairs would be good to carry to rooms for visitors.

Mum and I are very happy with all aspects of the home.

I was really impressed with Bemerton Lodge today. The number of activities and inspiring artworks on display, the interaction of staff and patients out in the garden, and photographs of residents on outings. I have not visited for almost a year and the difference is huge, ok Covid meant I did not see what happened before that time but very impressed.

I was extremely apprehensive when my name went into care but the staff are so caring and friendly and she is encouraged to take part in activities and I think it's very good how they all have mealtimes together, which I think is very important, Nan enjoys the food. Some things need a little updating but the staff really make this home.

Initially reticent about this care home, as third one in just over 6 months - respite care and after hospital care due to broken hip. The previous 2 care homes had an ensuite facility, however this one didn't. However, Mum coped very well - she had more exercise during the day and enjoyed the company of residents in the TV lounge and dining room. Had animated conversations with resident whose husband was in same regiment as my father so both talked of their memories which led on to wartime memories - keeping wonderful carers fascinated! All carers were very patient and understanding - absolutely wonderful. Garden beautiful in sunshine.

My mother has settled in very quickly and is very happy and says all the staff are very kind towards her.

Bemerton Lodge has a lovely homely feeling about it from the moment you walk in. The staff are so incredibly hard-working and wonderfully kind and caring. My relative always looks comfortable when I visit. The food is plentiful and looks good on the plate. I feel incredibly reassured that my loved one is well looked after.

I arranged for my brother to move to Bemerton Lodge from a private and more expensive care home where - in spite of assurances - they could not meet his needs. From the welcome upon arrival to the care they show to both residents and visitors, the service provided for patients with advanced Alzheimer's dementia is excellent. The ethos is one of care - not working for profit - and this is reflected in everything that they do. The staff clearly have a lot of experience working with residents with this very distressing condition, and they provide a service that best meets those needs.

I have been visiting my partner at Bemerton Lodge for over 14 months and have experienced nothing but an extremely professional, caring and courteous behaviour from all the staff both administrative and care staff.
