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.
