What people say about us

K J (Nephew of Resident)

Overall Experience

5.0 out of 5

Since my aunt moved into Appleton Lodge, the level of care and attention has been superb. We clearly made the right choice. Top marks to all staff members for making her welcome.

Overall Experience

My mother has just completed 2 weeks of a respite stay. She seems very happy. The staff are all very friendly and caring yet professional. She likes the food and activities. Her sight is such that she can’t fully join in all the activities but she likes to go to them anyway for the social contact. She seems to me to be more alert than she was at her previous residence and I think this is because there is more going on here.

Overall Experience

My mum has only been in Appleton for a number of weeks, the process was smooth and all the staff involved were extremely helpful and friendly. As soon as I visited Appleton I felt the warmth and care all the staff have for their residents, as it’s such a small home it felt like a family environment. Mum has settled well. Her room is very cosy always clean and has a lovely view of the downs.

Appleton Lodge is an amazing care home. Not just a beautiful, homely new build, as that is only skin deep, but also in the love and care and dignity they give to my mother every day. She is treated like this is her home and with the respect that a person who has 6 children, 18 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren deserves.
