Byron Lodge provided a caring, supportive home for my father during his final months. He was looked after by a team of dedicated staff who treated him with dignity and respect throughout his time there. Dad always enjoyed the meals he was served, particularly a good Sunday dinner. The staff were also incredibly kind and understanding towards my mother, who has Alzheimer's, whenever we brought her to visit. Our family would like to thank everyone at Byron Lodge for all that they did for Dad and the rest of the family.

My dad has been a resident now for ten months and we have seen quite a few changes but one thing has always remained the same and that is the staff, they are all fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and most importantly, they treat my dad like family. A fab new manager who's door is always open. The home is kept very clean throughout.

Well what can I say, a fabulous staff team who genuinely care about residents and their family, always going above and beyond for residents. All the staff, throughout the home are welcoming, friendly and work hard to provide outstanding care. I cannot thank everyone enough for the care they give to dad, and the support they show for us as a family. Highly recommend this service.

My father-in-law and my brother were in the home and the staff from carers to cleaning staff, kitchen staff, office staff and laundry were fantastic. Nothing too much trouble for them, they really looked after both my family members even taking time out for a chat. Can't praise them enough for making them feel cared for and treating them as if they were part of the family.

Following the decision that we had to place our mum in a nursing care home due to her illness. We were very glad that Byron Lodge Care Home was recommended to us. My mum has only been there for several weeks but is really settling in well. She's joining in with the activities and games arranged by the carers and looks forward the the meals. All the staff (from the laundry to the management) are brilliant and seem to enjoy their jobs. They are helpful, caring and considerate to my mum and all the other residents. Nothing is too much trouble and they let us know how Mum's been between our visits. Many thanks to you all for the help and care you are giving.

My dad has only been in Byron Lodge Care Home a short while but has really settled in well after being moved from a previous care home, as soon as we walked through the door at Byron Lodge we were welcomed by really friendly staff with the warmest, genuine smiles. They were genuinely interested in knowing all about Dad, his likes/dislikes etc. so individual needs/interests could be met. We visit on different days, times and Dad always looks clean and freshly shaven and his room is always spotless. The staff take time to listen to us if we have any questions, requests or just need advice or reassurance about anything, nothing is too much trouble no matter how busy they are. We can see Dad is happy, settled and thriving, we leave confident that he is well cared for. Thank you to all the amazing people at Byron Lodge for what you are doing.

Fantastic place. Looked after my father-in-law while we were away, would recommend. Spent just over two weeks in Byron Lodge and the help and care he received was great. Liked his food and once settled in, he was fine.

Excellent service from dedicated staff who ensure everyone is treated with respect and dignity. The food that is served to the residents is very good and activities are organised to cater for all. Highlight for the residents are the visits from the singers.

The care my husband receives is very good. I'm always kept up to date on his well-being. Not only do the staff take care of my husband, they also take care of me, always ready to answer my questions. The carers are so thoughtful, they have a shoulder to cry on when I'm upset. I am quite happy with everything that is done for my husband.

Wonderful staff who are caring and loving. Clean facilities. Grandad loves the food and enjoys getting spoiled. The staff go above and beyond to make him feel at home. Always a warm welcome for family!

I booked my mum to stay for one week to see how she settled. I found the staff to be polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Mum said she enjoyed her holiday and would go back which was lovely to hear. Mum doesn't remember her stay now due to her dementia but she enjoyed herself at the time which is all that matters. I am looking to book her again for regular respite. My mum likes company and the stimulation is good for her well-being.

My grandad spent a short time in Byron Lodge until he sadly passed away earlier this year. He'd previously been in a care home that didn't meet our standards. From the day we moved him to Byron Lodge, our hearts warmed. He was cared for to the very highest of standards. He was kept spotless and clean. He was motivated with the daily care and activities, well fed and always supplied with hot and cold drinks. He was encouraged by staff to eat and drink. He struggled with his mobility and the team constantly monitored and made adaptations. His room and bedding was comfortable and kept clean. Food was lovely each day. Every single staff member went above and beyond for him and us as a family. We always felt welcome, whatever time day or night. Nothing at all was too much trouble. It was a pleasure for him to be there. It was comforting for us as a family that he spent his final months at such a gorgeous place. We thank you! Keep up the great work Byron Lodge Team.

I have been extremely impressed by all staff at Byron Lodge. From the welcome and explanations I received on my first visit, to the fact that every member of staff makes an effort to introduce themselves and have a chat. The standards of care are very high and the staff genuinely care for the residents and enjoy their interactions with them. There are numerous activities, which encourage the residents to engage with each other and the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The food and drinks are plentiful and the staff keep documentation up to date throughout their shift. The place is transparent and posts regularly on social media to allow families to be aware of how their relatives are doing. I am highly delighted with the care provided to my father and cannot recommend this place enough or thank the staff enough for their dedication and support given to my father and our family as a whole.

I have visited several homes in the local area. My dearest friend has been at Byron Lodge for nearly 2 years and has settled in beautifully. I can only comment on things I have seen and I have to say the care has been exceptional. When I arrive I have always found her to be clean and well-kept. The staff on her group are friendly and eager to please. My friend has been very complimentary with regards to the food and was singing the chef's praises about Christmas Dinner, which I understand from those family members that came to the home on the day was outstanding. I think that is just marvelous. I would not hesitate in recommending this home.

The care my mum received while in Byron Lodge was outstanding, Mum was very happy here, always had a smile on her face. Each department of the facility have always been fantastic, staff can't do enough for you. My mum was very happy and felt safe there. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff for their dedication and exceptional care.

My mum was in Byron Lodge for over a year. Until she passed away. All staff at Byron were very supportive off my mum, she was treated with dignity and respect. My mum's needs were met 100%. Doctors were called when needed. I was informed every time. From management seniors, carers, cleaners, cooks, laundry, activities I want to say a big thank you for caring for my mum.
04 January 2024
Staff brilliant, versatility brilliant. She has been very happy here. The manager is lovely. The administration lovely, made us all beds as we have been staying here on her last few days. Could not wish for any better staff.

This home has looked after my mother-in-law for the last 3 and a half years. I would like to thank everyone, all staff and everyone involved in looking after her, especially in her final week. Everyone is so helpful kind and considerate. The people could not do enough for us. These people are amazing. Thank you so much.

Mum was transferred from another care home in June 2022. On looking for a new care home the managers at Byron Lodge Care Home were the only ones who asked about Mum's needs/personality. Byron now has a new manager but I feel care has been and continues to be very good. Probably due to a core of permanent staff from deputy’s/seniors through to cleaners; who have maintained standards and relationships. The new proposals at our last relatives meeting (yes, this care home does actually have them!) regarding more permanent and less agency staff is very reassuring. Staff who work alongside side known colleagues can function better as a team and you witness this on your visits. We feel the staff are genuinely fond of Mum and though her communication is poor they always interact with her and include Mum in organised activities as best they can. On the one occasion I have had a concern it was addressed swiftly. Byron Lodge is clean and Mum's clothes are washed/pressed lovely and she is freshly dressed daily.

My first impressions when walking into Byron Lodge, is a warm and friendly feeling.
