Where life stories inspire great care.

"From the moment my Mum moved into the care home in April, we couldn't be happier with the care and support she has received. Every member of staff has been so kind, friendly, and welcoming from day one, making the transition much easier for all of us. I cared for mum at home for eight years, and while it was the right thing to do, moving her here has allowed us to build an even better relationship. Instead of being her full-time carer I can now simply enjoy being her daughter again, knowing she's safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care. The staff are like one big family. They genuinely care about the residents and do so much to keep them happy, comfortable and engaged. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they always go the extra mile with kindness and compassion. I can't thank the whole team enough for everything they do. I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful care home"

"Very friendly staff. Always smiling and welcoming, Nothing is ever too much trouble. The home is very clean. Staff are always busy cleaning. Tea trolley is always offered to relatives and residents. The home has a very calm atmosphere. Good variety of meals. Wonderful place."

"Very upsetting experience dealing with the Management at the care home. Was not notified of my mother's death, even though I had personally given them my contact details. Tried to get some answers from the management about the timescale when my mum passed, but they misled me, and came up with excuse after excuse. I contacted the CEO who passed me to someone else. It took just over 2 months to get a reply which was a very unprofessional way to deal with a grieving family member. However, the staff who looked after my mother were very good and caring. The management at Strachan House should take a leaf out of their books."

"Corrina Lodge has been an outstanding care home for my Dad who is recieving end of life care. My Dad and my family are always made to feel at home and I know that my Dad feels safe. The nurses, carers, chefs, managers and support staff have taken the time to get to know my Dad to ensure his needs are met, the activities team are fantastic and are lovely to be around. My Dad is in the best place to enure he is supported at the end with care and dignity."

"Thank you for looking after my father, Brian. Value for money - funded by LA so unsure of costs."

"The team supported my step Dad brilliantly. This allowed him to recover and find the determination to get home. Instead of having doubts about food and medication regime at home, they were detailed and on top of things. They were kind and thoughtful and friendly too. It is a difficult time and brilliant to have a professional and efficient team of complimentary skills there at a time of acute need."

"My mother recently died in South Grange after 17 months of living there. I could not have asked for better end of life care for her. She was kept clean and comfortable and out of pain for those last days. We were able to be with her in her final hours and the staff were very kind and caring. Her passing was peaceful with the night person in charge being the same person who came on her home visit before moving there. During mums time in the care home I got to know staff who were always friendly and chatted with me which makes all the difference. Mum used to participate in the many and varied activities until she was no longer able to do so. The manager is very visible and approachable and can be seen chatting to patients, which is a good way to know what's going on. I visited 3 or 4 times a week and after an initial settling period my mum was happy enough despite the dementia."

"My mum has been a resident at Bushey House for some time now and recently celebrated her 94th birthday there with family and friends. The staff helped make it such a special occasion, and seeing Mum smiling and surrounded by love meant so much to us. Caring for someone in their 90s with complex needs is never straightforward, but the team have shown kindness, compassion and patience throughout. The nurses, carers and management work incredibly hard and genuinely care about the residents as individuals. There have been some difficult health challenges along the way, and I have always felt able to raise questions and advocate for Mum. What stands out is that the staff know her as a person, not just a resident. Thank you to everyone at Bushey House for the care, warmth and dignity you show Mum every day. Our family is very grateful."

"My Father was placed at Florence Court very short notice over the Christmas period in 2025 for a while. The home were outstanding in their approach to arranging this and even more so over the Christmas period. Sammi was instrumental in helping and arranging everything even in her own time to help. The process would have been terrible if wasn't for Sammy had her colleagues who helped. From the first phone call the process was straight forward and easy to follow, and the care providers by the care staff, the admin staff and the manager was above and beyond what was expected and even considered checking myself in on a few occasions. Clean, peaceful, friendly, and welcoming at all times. Strongly recommend and special reference to Sammy."

I run monthly session with my play group, bits and bobs play group at Edingley lodge and I can honestly say it's the highlight of my month. The staff are always so professional and helpful but always happy to have fun and get involved, encouraging residents to come and join is as well. They have a beautiful take on life here! The residents are always so happy and easy to get along with! They will get involved no matter what we do! They will happily play games with the children, cuddle them, sing, dance, get mucky with messy play and generally just let go and enjoy themselves! This is a reflection of how amazing the relationships are between staff and residents! The home is always so clean and welcoming, it really has an amazing feel to it. There is always something for the residents to do weather that's inside or day trips! It really is an incredible place to visit. I wouldn't hesitate to make this home for myself when the time comes, until then I'll keep waiting to save space for my own parents!! I hope to keep visiting Edingley for a long time to come. Thank you for welcoming and having me.

As a visiting health professional, I am always impressed by this very clean and well managed home. All the staff I've met have a strong work ethic and good humour.

They run many interesting and unusual activities to keep the residents entertained.
Also, I am always hearing positive feedback about the food; which can be quite rare to hear in other homes!

What a wonderful care home! I held a meeting here using one of their beautiful lounges. The staff were so lovely and helpful and the rooms are just gorgeous. This place is like a posh hotel. Tea/Coffee and cake all supplied for free! Thank you to everyone for your help. 😍

I recently visited Weystone Manor to deliver some art equipment for their open day, and I came away genuinely impressed.

From the moment I arrived, I was given such a warm welcome and a lovely tour of the home by Ginny Thomas. Everything has been thoughtfully and professionally designed to create a beautiful, luxurious and functional environment, but what stood out most was that it never felt like luxury for luxury's sake. There is a real sense that everything revolves around the residents and helping them live as independently, comfortably and joyfully as possible.

As an artist, I particularly appreciated the stylish interiors and the artwork displayed throughout the home. As a Woking resident, I also loved the thoughtful touches that connect the home to the local community, including lovely photographs of Woking from the past and spaces named after prominent local figures. There are so many lovely spaces, from cosy lounges and elegant dining areas to a hair and nail salon, spa bath and even a private dining room for family celebrations, complete with a mini cinema! I was also impressed by the dedicated dementia-friendly areas, with subtle design cues and prompts that support independence in such a thoughtful way.

The personalised activity programmes, beautiful sensory garden and obvious attention to every detail all reflect a genuinely caring philosophy. It's clear that a huge amount of thought, care and creativity has gone into making Waystone Manor a true home, not a care facility.

It was a pleasure to visit, and I wish everyone involved every success with the opening day and beyond.

"My Dad is a resident in Ochil in memory lane , and feel he's getting well looked after ,Staff are all so lovely and caring have high praise for them as I no its a hard job they do but are all so dedicated to there job ,and the nurses are so supportive especially the head female nurse always keeping us informed of our dad's progress and asking if we're ok and that means alot.,The unit is always very clean and tidy and my dad's room is kept to a high standard of cleanliness ,the domestics do a great job keeping on top of all there cleaning duties, They keep dad well hydrated and fed ,food choice could be a bit better done menu wise but it always looks appetising. Great choice of activities go on my Dad was on the tri bikes which he highly enjoyed. So really happy with our Dad's care he receives there"
