We came to the point where we needed to place my MIL and looked around a few care homes, this was very stressful and we needed to get it right and find somewhere that she would be cared for in a warm and safe environment. Some of the care homes we looked at were absolutely not what we wanted and we knew she wouldn’t get what she needed. Upon calling and speaking to Dumitru, he was very helpful and even offered to come in on a Saturday to show us around (he doesn’t normally work weekends). We met Dumitru and Jo showed us around. Upon entering the home we both knew that this was the perfect place for her. It was warm, inviting and all staff were very friendly (other homes were sadly not like this). We were shown all around and were extremely impressed with everything we saw. After my MIL, nothing changed, she has been fantastically looked after and loves it there. There are daily activities and the food is amazing, this is something we were worried about as my MIL has gone off food, but there is so much to choose from, freshly made and always something there she likes. I have nothing but gratitude and thanks to the whole team who are all equally amazing at their jobs. 100% would recommend, if you are worried about placing a loved one, I would recommend coming and having a look around. We also went by reviews and word of mouth and haven’t been disappointed!!

My dad became a resident at the lovely care home about two weeks ago. I am surprised and delighted at the quality of care he receives. He enjoys the food very much, if he needs help, a member of staff is with him within seconds, and the medical staff are very persistent in trying to solve his health problems and improve his quality of life. I cannot recommend this care home enough.

Corrina Lodge is just beautiful the home has a lovely family vibe, the staff are all amazing and go out of their way to help. Management are very approachable and always ready to help. I would definitely recommend this home.

Corinna Lodge is a wonderful nursing home. Finding a home for my husband was extremely stressful but once I entered Corinna Lodge I knew this was the right place for him. The manager, Dumitru, is so helpful and kind as are all the staff - nurses, carers, housekeeping, maintenance and the amazing chef Kathleen and her catering team. He has now lived in the home for three months and I know he is being cared for with love and understanding.

I absolutely love everything about this home. It is warm, welcoming and homely with the most amazing team of staff always at hand helping the residents and providing the best care and service. I run music and movement sessions with the residents and they are always so happy. I couldn't recommend Corrina Lodge enough.

Mum has been at Corrina Lodge for over a year, and we (children) are so happy and relieved she was able to move there. Since arriving her condition (Alzheimer's) has sadly deteriorated, but she has been respected and well cared for at all times. The facility is fresh and clean, the staff are the most caring we could imagine and the activities and social life are in abundance! We couldn't have wished her to be anywhere better, and we know she's safe and well cared for. I'd be very happy to live there! Thank you Corrina Lodge team!

We had the pleasure of performing a Christmas panto show for the residents here, and it was an absolute joy! The atmosphere was fantastic, with the residents happily joining in with plenty of singing and clapping. The home itself was beautifully kept—lovely and clean. A special mention goes to Sharron, the activities coordinator, who was absolutely wonderful, as well as the rest of the staff, who were so friendly and cheerful. Thank you for having us!

"I'm very pleased with Corrina Lodge. My father really likes living here, All of the staff are very professional and nothing is too much trouble. The food is exellent and he looks forward to meal times. There is always some activities going on if he wants to join in. Very happy with his care."

"Corrina Lodge provided excellent End of Life care for my elderly uncle. After an extended stay in hospital, Corrina Lodge was like a peaceful retreat and a much more appropriate setting for someone with an aggressive, terminal cancer. My uncle had a lovely, downstairs room with a view of the gardens. Staff liaised well with the GP and palliative care team and my uncle had access to morphine etc when appropriate. The Deputy Manager/Matron understood the urgency of the placement and had my uncle visited in hospital, assessed and transferred to the home within 48 hrs! Food seemed nutritious and comforting and tea/coffee is frequently offered to residents. Finally, our family were exhaused after visiting hospital most days for over 3 months and to be able to come & visit a relative in such a tranquil setting was such a relief to us. Relatives can help themselves to tea/coffee and parking is easy. Staff are always friendly and visiting an ailing family member is made a calm experience."

"We are very happy for our daughter to go the lovely home. The staff are all very caring and very conscientious with complete attention to detail. Our daughter has to have extra care which can give a lot more work to the staff but they never complain. The home is always lovely and clean and everything is provided for her care."

"Had to put our mum into care, but very reluctantly. Only managed to see her in a very brief visit but impressed with the staff and care. Mum won't be able to take part in the activities but if she remains peaceful I will be happy."

"My family and I are pleased with the care and attention my mother has received since moving into Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home recently. The staff are so friendly and caring of all their residents and show much concern for family members at the difficult time of handing over care of a much-loved family member. Food, facilities and activities are amazing and the whole family enjoyed the recent teddy bears' picnic. A big thank you to every member of staff."

"My mother has been at Corrina Lodge for one month and she has settled in really well, we are so happy that Mum has been given the opportunity to make this her home. The staff are amazing, so friendly and made the transition for our family as seamless and easy as possible. My mother is happy and is given as much attention or privacy as she wants. It is such a lovely feeling to know how much my mother is being cared for 24 hours a day. There are so many activities and events at the care home and it is totally the residents' choice whether they join in or not. Even activities that family members can join in too, like the toddler group, which my daughter took her children along to and it was great for everyone to enjoy time together. I am always kept informed about my mother, which is so kind and very helpful when this is all a new experience for us. Thank you so much to all the amazing team for your hard work and dedication."
