Reviews for Canmore Lodge Care Home
What our families say on carehome.co.uk
"Our experience with Canmore Lodge has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment my mother moved in, it was clear that the staff genuinely cared about her well-being. They were kind, compassionate, and always went above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable, safe, and respected. The environment was warm and welcoming, making it easier for our family to trust that she was in good hands. The caregivers were attentive to her needs and were proactive in keeping us updated on her health and any changes. It was evident that they treated her like family, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. The activities offered were also wonderful, providing both physical and mental stimulation that greatly enhanced her quality of life. We cannot thank the team at Canmore Lodge enough for the love and care they provided to my mother during her time there. It was truly a place where she felt cared for, valued, and at home."

"My sister has come into Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home to live out the rest of her life. The care that my sister has received since admission is faultless. Prior to admission, I was told my sister had a blister to her heel. However, my sister's heel was necrotic. It has been a slow process. Now always mealed with patience and care from staff within Canmore Lodge. I gave also been supported myself by the care home staff."

"Our mum has been in Canmore Lodge for approx nine months, and our dad for one month prior to him passing away. Both our mum and dad were/are very well looked after, well cared for and provided with respect and dignity, which is exactly what we wanted. The staff are lovely, every one of them is excellent, and it's so good to see our mum finally settled in such a lovely, caring place."

"My aunt stayed in Canmore Lodge for the last eighteen months. The care she has received has been of the highest standard. She has been visited several times every week by family members who are all adamant that she could not have been better cared for anywhere. The atmosphere in the home is fantastic, the meals etc. are of a very high standard too. Thank you to all the staff and relatives of other residents who echo the thoughts I have expressed."

"I cannot praise Canmore Lodge highly enough. From the domestics to the manager, all have been extremely helpful. I only wish I could name names! Canmore maintained her dignity right to the end of life. Many, many thanks. That doesn't portray the praise I have for Canmore."

"Barchester Canmore Lodge Care Home has looked after my aunt these last seven years until her passing earlier this year. The physical care was exceptional as my aunt was always clean, kempt, neatly dressed and smart-looking. But, more than this, she was lovingly cared for emotionally. My aunt looked up to the nurses and carers with smiling eyes and likewise, the staff spoke with her kindly and lovingly. The 'family' atmosphere there is tangible. When any health problem arose, Canmore Lodge acted quickly and professionally."

"My husband has been in Canmore Lodge for 6 months. I have been extremely impressed by the staff and management - they all work as a team. In December we celebrated 60 years of marriage. Staff in Canmore added even more special touches to our day. Memories to cherish forever. Thanks to all staff in the Canmore team. Also best wishes to Barchester."

"My Dad, who has Lewy Body Dementia, ended up in Hospital for over 6 months before finally being placed at Canmore Lodge in January 2018. Within hours, they had him up walking and using the bathroom; things he hadn't been given assistance within Hospital. The change in him was remarkable immediately and we are confident that he is treated with respect and dignity; I cannot fault the Nursing Staff or the Carers - nothing asked or requested is every too much trouble. I'm kept very up to date with anything that happens e.g. falls or Doctor reviews, etc. The environment is always calm and the Memory Lane staff really are just wonderful."

"My grandmother has been in Canmore Lodge for over 2 years. Before she moved into Canmore, she refused to socialise out with the sheltered housing. Now she interacts with "friends" every day. Without all the team at Canmore, this would not have been possible."

"Canmore Lodge is a wonderful care home. From the moment you enter you can feel the warm, welcoming vibes. The layout is such that the residents are able to wander about quite freely, no stairs and plenty of comfy seats. There is always enough staff to ensure everyone feels secure and happy. The staff know all the residents personally and are always willing to assist with any problem that may arise or just to have a laugh and a joke. Qualified nursing staff are on duty 24/7 and are all very professional. The bedrooms are of a good size and the majority are ensuite. There are different activities and entertainment every single day and residents are encouraged to join in. The gardens and lounge areas are well used, perfect places to sit and natter with your friends and relatives, whilst enjoying a cup of tea and a slice of cake! I would highly recommend Canmore Lodge to anyone in need of extra care."
