Review of York Lodge on Monday 12 November 2012 by Kathryn Just (Friend of a resident)

I visited my ex-neighbour and friend there over the weekend, and was just bowled over by how lovely the house and staff are. The house is amazing, really beautiful, and the staff I met made me feel so welcome. They all seemed really genuine people who obviously understand my friend as a person, and care very much about her welfare. The manager in particular is an exceptionally lovely man. My friend is extremely happy and comfortable there, which is so reassuring for me. I stayed for a huge Sunday lunch (which they wouldn’t allow me to pay for), and it was absolutely gorgeous. I know from experience that not all care homes are like this, and I felt their dedication should be rewarded, hence wanting to leave a positive comment.

My father has been a resident here for 3 months now and York Lodge’s caring and friendly atmosphere has given him a new lease of life. He is eating well, enjoying games and events which has boosted his health and well-being. For anyone concerned about choosing a care home for an elderly, frail loved one I can whole heatedly recommend York Lodge.

Review of York Lodge on Friday 22 February 2013 by Charlotte (Daughter of day care user)

My mum has been going to York Lodge three times a week for their excellent day care, and she really loves it! The food is gorgeous, she always enjoys the activities and outings and the staff there make her feel ‘part of the family’. She really looks forward to going, and it’s reassuring for me to know she’s being well looked after and having fun too. Highly recommended!

A Caring Environment

York Lodge caring enviromentWe place the rights of our elderly residents at the forefront of our philosophy of care and our primary aim is always to provide a caring environment. We take a person-centered approach to promote and advance these rights in all aspects of the environment and the services we provide, and we encourage our  residents to exercise their rights to the full. We care very much about residents’ happiness, well-being, security and personal fulfillment. We respect absolutely the right to choice, independence, dignity and privacy.

Everything we do is driven by these principles.

The personal touch

Every member of the management team and care team is here to promote our elderly residents’ physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Being a small family run retirement home we are able to offer our elderly residents a high level of personal attention. Every resident has a dedicated ‘key carer’, as well as a personal care plan. Members of our care team all live locally and the majority have been with us for many years; thus residents are cared for by familiar people they know and trust.

We take time to listen to requests and preferences regarding every aspect of life at York Lodge retirement home, such as dietary needs and choices, when and where meals are served, preferred times of waking and going to bed, hobbies and activities, and so on. In addition to the key carer, a member of the management team is always available in person or by telephone to talk to family members about any aspect of their relative’s care.

Our secure biometric entry system allows unrestricted visiting for authorised family and friends. Refreshments are available at all times, and visitors are welcome to join us for a meal.

We believe we have created a caring environment where everyone’s views are important.
