What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Lauder Lodge care home.

It's a nice, homely atmosphere, always spotlessly clean and tidy, with a nice garden area that is well-maintained. There is always some kind of activitiy going on throughout the day, which makes it feel like a very happy place… lots of smiling faces, it's a lovely environment.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The care staff know how to engage with residents and make them feel comfortable. They make the effort to get to know residents as the people they are. It's a personal relationship they have with my loved one… lots of smiles and cuddles, they get her up dancing... they are very engaging.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff are very efficient and they understand my loved one's situation and her needs. They are very attentive to details and they check on my loved one regularly to ensure she's okay and has everything she needs. They are lovely people and I always feel very welcome when I visit. I'm always greeted with a smile and they will come over to let me know how things are going with my loved one.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff know the residents well and know things that my mum likes. They try to accommodate her and are friendly and caring.

Relative of a resident, August 2023

They welcome you from the minute you turn up at the front door to when you leave. I was leaving yesterday and someone said see you next week. You are not just a number but a person.
