What others have to say

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

They really encourage families to get involved with the home. They are always letting us know what events are planned, inviting us to come and join in with the activities when we visit, and they have regular meetings for relatives. The management meet with us monthly and it's a very open, honest discussion about what's happening in the home and with our loved ones. The manager is always available if we need to speak about anything.

The staff are amazing! You can tell they really care about the residents. You watch them at work and it takes your breath away sometimes, they work really hard and are so committed to the job. The way they speak to everyone is delightful, with so much respect. You can tell that they know everyone's funny ways and they know how to approach them. They make everyone feel valued!

Relative of a resident, March 2024

They are exceptionally professional. They are very warm and they demonstrate genuine care for the residents and their families. The list of activities is great and it's a happy place. Nothing is a problem for them and they have supported the family magnificently.

They are amazingly brilliant! The team have been very good and they all care. The person in charge is brilliant, especially the way she manages staff. The staff are great with residents, they are attentive and it is so lovely - they are spoilt rotten.
