Reviews for Corrina Lodge Care Home
What our families say on carehome.co.uk
"I wanted to thank all at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home so much for looking after my dad so well since his admission in July and also, by proxy, my mum for whom I think you are a lifeline. Your care, facilities and entertainment are all so well thought out and caringly provided - there is genuine humanity in your home. And I haven't even mentioned the food (it is delicious)! I came to visit again yesterday and was, once more, made to feel so welcome and included and was so impressed by the professionalism of all your staff and events. The Diwali celebration, visited by the mayor, looked wonderful and I'm sure the bonfire night fireworks will go with a bang! Thank you again and keep on doing what you're doing."

"We were struggling with looking after my mother-in-law at our home, her dementia was making her angry and violent and we, especially me being the primary carer, were struggling. She took an overdose and went to hospital and eventually for a 28-day assessment. We looked at other care homes and none compared to Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home. The staff are amazing and my mother-in-law is very happy here. The manager and administrator are amazing! Kudos to them as it feels like and actual home there."

"Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home is wonderful. The staff are caring and well-trained and the manager is excellent. Finding a nursing home for my husband was extremely stressful but as soon as I entered Corrina Lodge, I knew this was the right place for him. It is a home which treats its residents with love, respect and understanding."

"My dad become a resident at this lovely care home about two weeks ago. I am surprised and delighted at the quality of care my dad is receiving. He really enjoys the food. The staff are very attentive. If my dad called for help, someone is with him in seconds. The medical staff are very persistent in trying to solve my dad's health problems and they work very hard to improve his quality of life. I cannot recommend Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home enough."

"Mum has been at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home for over a year and we (children) are so happy and relieved she was able to move there. Since arriving, her condition (Alzheimer's) has sadly deteriorated but she has been respected and well cared for at all times. The facility is fresh and clean, the staff are the most caring we could imagine and the activities and social life are in abundance! We couldn't have wished her to be anywhere better and we know she's safe and well cared for. I'd be very happy to live there! Thank you Corrina Lodge team."

"Absolutely amazing place, always go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The amount of weight that has been lifted off my shoulders knowing my dad is safe because of these amazing people is unreal. Have also organised dad's 66th birthday in the beautiful lounge in the care home and they have organised it all. My only job was the invite. Amazing place, highly recommend."

"My sister stayed at Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home for 6 weeks. During this time she was treated with the utmost care by very caring staff and management. I cannot recommend Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home highly enough if my sister is able to return there. I would be extremely happy for her to do so."

"Since my Husband has been at Corrina he has improved his mobility and mental awareness. The staff are all so caring and never pass by without saying hello. The activity team are fantastic and offer a wide range of activities and will be open to suggestions. The carers are always happy to help you and the Manager has an open door policy and is happy to listen and act where necessary. Reception and finance are always friendly and helpful. Laundry, cleaners and maintenance are always on hand and do a great job. The lounge, dining room and cinema room are decorated in a modern and welcoming way. The bedrooms are not large and some need a bit of modernisation which I believe is being dealt with when able but are comfortable and adequate. My Husband is happy and content and I always enjoy my time visiting him and chatting with everyone. It is a home from home and cannot recommend it highly enough."

"Hey all, I was lucky enough to go to Corina Lodge Care Home. I was very apprehensive about coming to ''A Nursing Home'', I needn't have. Everyone was super awesome. The care they gave was 1st class and the food was delicious. I thank the manager and his awesome team for looking after me so well. I'm hoping I may be able to come back for respite again. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"This is a home that is charging over £8000 per month and when this home was selected claimed that they were proud of their food and the care they provide. The food is worse than a schoolchild would be expected to eat (for example today's supper was baked beans on toast). The rooms are small, like a student room and the care is underwhelming though there are some notable exceptions. I have had to contact the home to request they wash my relative's hair as they asked me to bring shampoo. They also claimed to offer physio as part of the contract but used the virus as cover to drop it and provide shocking levels of care (leaving in bed until late morning, not putting to bed until late at night etc) and when I challenge this the management has arrogantly ignored my concerns and continue business as usual. The real issue is extremely poor management and a grasping business model when they see residents as revenue streams only. I am still waiting for a response to a complaint I made in January."

"My father arrived at Corrina Lodge from hospital. He was instantly made to feel welcome by each and every member of staff. The difference in his health and wellbeing was apparent within days. He has resumed eating and is so much better. The staff have been so helpful and cannot do enough for you. It's like staying in a five-star hotel. My father has Parkinson's and it's essential he gets his medicine on time. This is now done religiously ( something that did not happen in hospital). Well done and keep up the excellent work."

"My mother was transferred to Corrina Lodge from hosptial to received palliative care. The care that she received was outstanding. She was only there for a short time as she deteriorated very quickly but the staff were amazing and made her feel welcome from the moment she arrived. They were also incredibly supportive to our family when she sadly passed away."

"I have returned for the third time - this care home excels my expectation each time I return this time it was much more noticeable- the general manager is amazing. The staff seem a lot happier and dedicated, all the staff work together. I would highly recommend this care home. Thanks to everyone who has cared for me this time. I would highly recommend Corrina Lodge."

"My husband died unexpectedly in August 2019 in Corrina Lodge, having lived there for 6 1/2 years since January 2013. He was cared for extremely well and members of staff became like a family to him and to me as his wife. He was encouraged to find his own 'niche' there, caring for the garden and greenhouse. He enjoyed most of the activities and certainly enjoyed mealtimes! He was supported in continuing his hobby budgie keeping and had three cages in his room. Overall he became content in his home at Corrina Lodge."

"I came to Corrina when my wife (who joined me later) was in hospital and I was no longer able to look after myself. After much discussion, we decided that two separate rooms close to one another would fulfil our needs. This arrangement has worked out very well. The care I have received has been very good and the carers are kind and helpful in every way."

"My sisters care home were extremely quick and responsive to the Covid-19 situation. This has resulted in peace of mind for all visitors and relatives. The fact that they haven't had any scares is down to the brilliant handling of this extreme situation. could not praise every staff member more, they have been magnificent."

"My mother lived in the home for about ten months before she sadly passed away. During her stay, she received excellent care and attention. The whole management, activity and clinical team have been wonderful and always cheerful even through these pandemic times. I have no hesitation in recommending this care and nursing home to you all."

"My wife was at Corrina for nearly three years, and during this time we found the care to be excellent and the staff without exception to be kind, friendly and helpful. However, sadly at the end of July 2020, we were told that her needs had increased to the point where we should move her to some other home that had a dementia unit. This we managed to do on 27th August 2020. One of the consequences of this move was that a four-figure refund was due to me. The paperwork for this was completed promptly and efficiently at Corrina but needed some sort of higher approval. Now, 56 days (8 weeks) after my wife's departure, this refund has still not been paid and I have not been contacted in any way. Why not, and what is going on at the administrative level?"

"Respite care with nursing for my mother was excellent and communication with myself faultless. Empathic, caring staff. Corrina Lodge is small enough to make the home seem like family and large enough to provide the professional care to a high standard that was required for my Mum. At some future point, if required, Mum and I will happily choose Carrina Lodge again for respite care or permanent care."

"Existing residents seemed happy there. Admission and welcome were friendly and professional from the very start with all staff making a special effort to greet and deal with both residents and relatives in a warm and generous way. Staff were always on hand to ensure that appropriate care was provided and the residents' needs were met. Food and facilities were of a high standard and the whole environment had a homey feel to it, and the activities laid on were many and varied."

"My mother has dementia and was struggling with loneliness. We moved her to Corrina Lodge for a respite week which we are looking to extend. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly. It is clean and feels luxurious and the food is amazing. After a few days, I can already see a big difference in Mum, she is much happier, is getting involved in the activities as well as making new friends."

"I wanted to put in writing our grateful thanks for the care given to my mother-in-law during her three months stay at Corrina Lodge. She was very unwell when she was discharged from hospital. We were not happy with the level of care and support she was given there. Accordingly, it was a great relief to us to see the extent to which she improved once she came under the care of your nurses. What particularly impressed us was the extent to which your nurses and assistants took the trouble to talk to her in advance and explain to her what they were going to have to do with and for her before setting about their nursing tasks. The most important factor in her treatment at Corrina Lodge was the interest shown by a particular carer, in getting to know what type of person she was and what she had experienced during the course of her long and very different life. The result was that my mother-in-law became much more settled and accepting of the finality of her life. So would you please pass on our heartfelt thanks to all those members of staff who were involved in her care."

"Caring is the first word I use to describe Corrina Lodge. I am deeply impressed by the warmth and dedication of the whole staff team: nursing and care, leadership, activities, administration, cooking, household and maintenance. The residents clearly valued the engaging activities (from films to bingo), the tranquil garden and sociable cafe. I would unreservedly recommend Corrina Lodge. The staff and residents here made this final stage in Mum's life one full of friendship and dignity."

"My father has been a resident at Barchester Corrina Lodge for almost three years. He is very happy with his care and so are we. The staff are very caring and friendly, and Dad has really improved since he became a resident at Corrina Lodge. The gardens are large and easy to access in nice weather. We are very happy with the care Dad receives."

"The activity staff at this care home are amazing. The key worker knows my father really well and makes a point of visiting him regularly and updating me whenever she sees me (he doesn't get out of bed). Staff on the front desk are always welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, there have been lots of changes of manager, care staff and nurses - they don't always seem to stay for long. Staff would benefit from training in managing residents with dementia. AAlthough it is not a dementia care home some residents do develop this condition while there."

"Dad is doing so much better since his move to Corrina Lodge. He has a wonderful relationship with the staff, who treat him with kindness and respect. We've been so worried about him before his acceptance to the home. Now we can be confident and happy that he is well cared for. Thank you Corrina Lodge you've helped our whole family."

"We would like to say how amazing Corrina Lodge staff have been towards my father-in-law. He has been a resident for 15 months and prior to admission was given days to live. He has been given fantastic care and without exception, all the staff in the nursing home have contributed to his well being. He has Parkinson's disease and the most important part of his treatment is receiving his medication as prescribed on time. We joke now how we can set our watches by him receiving his medication and what a huge difference this has made to his condition. He has physically improved due to wonderful diet, all be it has to be liquidised and mentally stimulated by the team. Last week he was in the day room singing along to a ukelele band who came in to sing Christmas carols with the residents. We had not seen him this animated in years. I wish all nursing homes offered this level of care. Thank you to the manager, you have been instrumental in the management and care of all the residents."

"As you would expect, some staff are there to do a job and earn a wage, but there are others who are clearly invested in the well being of the residents. I was lucky enough to join a group on an outing (the first since lockdown) watching the way that residents were treated was wonderful, and the staff were clearly thrilled at seeing my father laughing and happy. It's a memory I will cherish."

"Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff to make my friend comfortable. She is very well looked after. There is a happy and relaxed atmosphere and all the staff are accessible and willing to discuss and resolve any concerns or queries. The manager is always willing to listen and help and so are the nursing staff, carers, cleaners and admin staff. It is a very special place."

"My mother has been at Corrina Lodge for eighteen months and during that time has experienced the nursing care which has been excellent. As her condition has improved she is now living as a resident and quite independent in many ways although still needs help now and again. I would like to see separate activities and meals for those with all their mental faculties if that were at all possible."

"Every member of staff were helpful, polite, willing, warm, friendly and efficient. The premises were always clean, our room was always clean and aired. The staff were always busy attending to residents. (There was no idle chatter). Every carer was focused, serious and at the same time sensitive to vulnerable residents. With time to smile and get to know residents personally. Mainly kindness stood out."

"The care given by the staff at Corrina Lodge, Camberley was beyond all expectation. Above all the kindness shown to my mother-in-law was exceptional, allowing her to have her beloved cat in the nursing home was of great joy to her. The staff, residents and the resident's families provided a huge network of support for us with the end of life care. There really are no words to express how grateful we were for the support, love and kindness we received."
