A catered 100th birthday meal for 17 people. Very well organised. Great service and lovely food, very impressed. Great value for money.

Great care home, the staff are lovely and always goes above and beyond. The best staff and facilities I have come across in the many care homes I have visited for my dad and he has nothing but good things to say about Ruby Lodge.

My Mum came to Ruby Lodge for respite care following a period of ill health and falls. The welcome she received was exceptional, her love of music has been remembered - a classical radio station was playing in her bedroom on arrival, and by the end of the day she was enjoying playing the piano in the entrance lobby! All the staff have been friendly and caring, so much thought and effort goes into every aspect of her care. She has settled so quickly and is positively thriving! Ruby Lodge has given us back quality Mother and daughter time together - thank you!

Ruby Lodge has given my Father-in-law a new lease of life. The care and attention he has received is second to none. The facilities are 5-star, and he has settled in really quickly. He has made new friends and developed an active social life very quickly - everyone is so friendly. Recently, Ruby Lodge organised a 95th birthday lunch, which was just fabulous. Can't recommend this place enough - it's fabulous.

We visited Ruby Lodge more than a few times, the staff are by far the most friendly, professional, and caring that I have come across. The building is gorgeous, the residents seem to be really happy and well taken care of. 10/10!

Ruby Lodge Care Home is amazing. It could be confused with a 5hotel. The staff are so warm and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. Eight of us enjoyed my friend's Dad's 95th birthday lunch, and the food was delicious... particularly the fruit cheesecake! I honestly can't think of even one tiny negative, that's how impressed l am by this wonderful care home.

I visited, on this occasions, to attend a Birthday party. The staff could not have been more helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I have visited many times and personally, I am very impressed with Ruby Place. The staff seem to go out of their way to provide entertainment and activities for the residents with a regularly supply of refreshments in between meals which are always served willingly. A lovely place and a lovely home.

Superb morning tea and a wonderful welcoming environment. The Victoria sponge cake at coffee morning was amazing, and the team were so attentive. Many thanks for a truly wonderful morning and a great start to 2025!

We have shared a really lovely, very tasty, lunch with our Mum and Grandma, a positive sitting in The Winning Post Pub, followed by a game of darts. High praise for the chef and the staff who so kindly set this experience up for us. We felt very much at home here. Thank you.

We had a lovely time for our family party for my aunties 100th birthday. We were catered for very well. Everyone enjoyed the food and the chef did a great job serving 17 of us.

Lovely food and is a great place to mark a special occasion.

Our experience of Ruby Lodge has been outstanding from start to finish. We cannot praise the staff or facilities highly enough. Residents are treated with the utmost care and dignity. There is always something for residents to enjoy and the way the staff includes residents in the local community through activity days is a joy to see. There simply aren't enough words to praise RL enough. A very, very special place indeed!

My grandad is absolutely thriving since moving into Ruby Lodge. The care he is receiving is impeccable, the team accommodate his schedule and encourages his independence and daily activities that make him feel like himself. They run amazing activities such as the Christmas fete that I attended which had a lovely atmosphere and was so nice for the residents and family to all take part in. I'm so happy with how my grandad has settled into the home and that is all down to the amazing staff at Ruby Lodge! Thank you so much for everything!

We experienced Ruby Lodge Care Home's fine dining to celebrate our mum's birthday. The food was excellent and we particularly enjoyed our dessert. We were all made to feel special - can highly recommend the experience for celebrating such occasions. We are so pleased we chose Ruby Lodge for our mum. She looks really settled and happy and the staff are always so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication.

It wasn't an easy decision to place Mum in residential care but even with care at home (including an attempt with live-in care) it was clear that her needs were not being met. We looked at a number of homes but an impromptu visit to Ruby Lodge, after a planned visit to a different home that shall remain unnamed, helped make the decision a bit easier. The team could not have been more welcoming and this has continued since Mum's admission. We are kept informed of any issues in a timely way and Mum herself says everyone is kind and caring. The home runs a varied activity programme involving the wider community. A fine dining experience is available for special occasions and, having experienced this for Mum's birthday, it was most enjoyable.

Mum has only been here a week. She is in for six weeks' respite. So far our experience has been excellent. The facilities are wonderful and the staff are caring and kind. They can't do enough for her. Mum's progress in a week has been remarkable. We are looking forward to the rest of her stay. Many thanks all.

My 94-year-old Father has recently moved into Ruby Lodge and received a lovely warm welcome - everyone is so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. He is really enjoying himself and has been busy with different activities each day - just what he needs. He is encouraged to retain his independence whilst also being supported at all times when needed. Ruby Lodge is a new home and the facilities and food are fabulous. This is more like a 5* hotel than a care home and it is a joy to live in and to visit. Every effort was made from the outset to enable Dad's move to be as smooth as possible and that attention and care have continued beyond to make Dad comfortable and to ensure that his every need is catered for - we couldn't ask for more and can't recommend environment, management, staff or the level of care and attention enough - dad feels very lucky to be living there and knowing he is so well looked after is very reassuring.

In difficult and emotional circumstances I have been dealt with with kindness, understanding, and professionalism at all times. My husband has been in here for respite and he was happy and comfortable throughout. The staff have made the whole thing easier to deal with.

We are very pleased with how well my Mum has settled after only four weeks. The staff (some of whom are already known to her) have been so welcoming. The atmosphere at Ruby Lodge is upbeat, happy, fun, and all-inclusive. We are pleased with how the scope of activities has developed so quickly (the home has only been open for a couple of months). We also appreciated the level of engagement with the managers when we had suggestions to make - all were taken on in a spirit of shared enterprise. Without a doubt, this home has caught the attention of many local people who are friends of my mother and have been keen to come visit.

The whole experience was great for my Mother and me and my sisters. She was reluctant to move from her apartment but unfortunately, her health has deteriorated so more permanent care was needed. The whole experience of visiting her in a relaxed environment with caring staff and enjoying the facilities with her makes it all more pleasurable, for all of us.
