I felt really guilty placing my mum into a care home, but have been very happy with the way she has settled into this environment. This has given me peace of mind because of the caring staff and its good facilities.

Pear Tree Lodge provided my dad with outstanding support and care in the month he was there. From the day he arrived, he was treated with the utmost care and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food, cleanliness and entertainment programs were all thoughtfully put together. Sadly he died whilst at Pear Tree Lodge, but as a family we can't imagine anywhere would have provided as much dignity and compassion to my dad in his final days and hours.

My brother is well looked after and very happy. Everybody is so kind and caring. He feels like he is home!

Pear Tree Lodge has a wide variety of activities to suit all residents. Very warm and welcoming and extremely clean. All staff and management are very caring and welcoming. I love to feel involved in the craft activities and enjoy a lovely meal with my husband.

We visited the home while looking for a place for my brother, who has dementia. We were impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the comfort of the rooms and how spacious the inside and outside of the home was. My brother settled very quickly as is so well looked after. He has had trips out where he has thoroughly enjoyed. There is regular communication and updates from staff, and we are always made welcome when visiting and all staff are very approachable and reassuring. It wasn't an easy decision to trust someone else with my brother's care, but from day one, he has been very happy, and it has made a huge difference to all our lives, knowing he has the best care, especially regarding his dementia.

Dad spent four years at Pear Tree Lodge and I highly recommend this wonderful care home to anyone. Dad transitioned very quickly to residential care and this is very much due to their approachable and experienced manager and her team of very personable and well-trained carers. Pear Tree Lodge is a community and Dad became part of that; they nurtured his love of music, sporting abilities and woodwork skills, embraced his sense of humour and gave him one-to-one support when he needed it. There is a smile for everyone at Pear Tree Lodge and you feel the warmth as soon as you enter the door. Pear Tree Lodge is exquisitely clean, the laundry always smells so fresh and Dad thoroughly enjoyed the home-cooked meals. With Dad's ever-changing Parkinson's symptoms, the staff's attention to detail was second to none, ensuring he received the best possible care for his condition at all times. Dad ended his days at Pear Tree Lodge, nursed, as always, with kindness, and compassion. Thank you.

Always greeted politely. All the staff talk to you and we talk to them. Any concerns are regularly informed and discussed. My husband is well cared for and seems happy and settled. He is always clean and tidy and we can walk around the home freely. The outside spaces are relaxing and attractive. I feel he is safe and that they know and understand his needs. This means I can relax and not have the same worries and concerns that I had to cope with.

My husband spent two and a half years at Pear Tree Lodge and in that time he was exceptionally well cared for. It always felt like we were part of a big loving caring family. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were always gentle and kind, not just with my husband but with all residents. I volunteer now and the care is still as good as ever. Excellent place

A lovely clean and bright environment. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. The management team have always got time to speak with you. A very well run care home.

For the final eighteen months of my wife’s life during which she endured, with great dignity, the competence-reducing effects of Parkinson’s disease and dementia, the management and staff of Peartree Lodge attended to her every need with truly exemplary, sincere concern. Consequently, when we had to accept the end of her life in 2023, we were able to reflect on the time spent in Pear Tree in the certain knowledge that she had always received professional, yet personalised attention. We are so very pleased that we entrusted her care to Pear Tree Lodge. And, moreover, we wish to record the kindness shown to the members of our family who were present at Pear Tree Lodge throughout my wife’s final, vital days.

Pear Tree Lodge is a lovely peaceful home for people to spend their latter years. It is well run by the manageress, who is always available to talk to regarding any issues arising, but also just for a general chat. The staff are all very friendly and approachable, and seem to be on first name terms with all the residents. The home is always clean and smelling fresh and airy when you visit and all the rooms appear to be well-presented and maintained. Residents are offered a wide range of activities, including days out to various places. From my experience of the home, I cannot speak highly enough about the care given to all the residents and would thoroughly recommend Pear Tree lodge to anyone considering it for themselves or a loved one.

I have visited my friend several times since she has been at Pear Tree Lodge. Everyone is so kind and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My friend has been able to join in some wonderful activities that she would not have been able to do at home. I was invited to stay for lunch and the food was very enjoyable and had lots of choices. It’s very welcoming with a lovely atmosphere and always looks bright and fresh.
07 July 2023
All of the staff are friendly, caring and welcoming. I feel they care for my dad really well. They organise great activities, the kitchen caters for his dietary needs and medical care. I feel that the care home is very secure and treats the residents with dignity and respect.

Mum has been at Pear Tree for over a year now. She is very happy and content and we believe she is being looked after very well by all the staff.

Pear Tree Lodge is a very friendly and extremely well-run care home. My friend is as happy as I have known her for years. The staff are very caring and always cheerful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Pear Tree Lodge Residential Home is an excellent home. The care they give is exemplary. They are kind, thoughtful and efficient. My mother is currently dying of cancer and I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. The ethos of the home is excellent and they work as a team for the benefit of the residents.

Dad has been at Pear Tree Lodge for two and a half years now, and I have just been to visit for the first time (I live in Australia and couldn't travel due to the pandemic). He is clearly happy, settled, respected and well cared for.
08 June 2022
My father stayed at Pear Tree Lodge for what turned out to be the last five weeks. As far as I can tell, the carer quickly adapted to his situation and took care of him carefully, professional and joyfully, despite his short acquaintance and short time with them.
14 February 2022
My mother had two bad falls and was unable to remain at home. Pear Tree Lodge was the best we could find by looking at reviews. My mother had two and a half months at Pear Tree Lodge prior to her passing. The staff were wonderful and the management first class. They were attentive to mum and always followed through with my requests.
30 June 2021
Mum is in her third well of respite, and I must say that I can only describe all areas of her care and the facilities as excellent.
