View Full Details of Burn Brae LodgeMy mother had advanced dementia and when we could no longer manage her needs, she moved to Burn Brae Lodge in Corbridge where she lived for 4 years. There may be plusher homes locally but, to us, they are style over substance. When you must move a loved one into a residential home, the most important consideration is the level of care given; my mother's care was exceptional. The team at Burn Brae treated her like a member of their own family. Burn Brae Lodge is privately run by a local family and management ensures facilities are up-to-date and conducive to residents' needs, not easy in our uncertain financial, economic and political environments. We can never forget the annual barbecue, nor the support received at 1 am from a member of staff, ensuring my mother did not spend her last few days in hospital. We were given 24-hour access and she passed away in a serene, comfortable and familiar environment. The care shown to our family at that sad time was so thoughtful. We have no hesitation in recommending Burn Brae Lodge.
My father was a resident for almost two years until his death in March 2016. Dad had suffered from Alzheimer's for several years and had been looked after by my mother before he came to live at Burn Brae as his condition deteriorated. Burn Brae specialises in the care of residents with dementia and provides a caring and homely environment for all residents. They treat all residents with respect and dignity and provide all the support and care needed, always treating each resident as a individual with specific needs, within a "home from home" environment.
