"Our father dreaded the idea of having to go into a home when the hospital told him in February he was being discharged to one as he had a broken leg. But he has said himself he is very lucky to have everything taken care of and was impressed on discovering the standard of interior decoration and comfort. The staff (nursing, care, activities, catering & management) ensure there is a warm and happy atmosphere. Visitors are made very welcome and are encouraged to join in activities, indeed we have volunteered ourselves and willingly chat with other residents in the lounge. We wouldn't want him to be anywhere else."

"Was very happy with the care and attention given to my husband while he was in respite. The staff are very attentive and pleasant. Very lean in all areas. Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home would be my first choice if my husband ever had to go into permanent care."

"My mum went in for respite care after coming out of hospital. Unfortunately, it did not go well and she had to go back into hospital after five days at the home. The management, the general in particular, were so kind and friendly and helpful. The home seemed very lively and impeccably clean. My only negative comment would be that the rooms are a little small, especially as my mum was not really up to leaving it to explore. One other thing is that the beautiful smart TV was beyond my 93-year-old mother's ability to work, which was a real shame. Thank you to everyone at the home for your help, support and kindness in a difficult time."

"We struggled with my mum at home and after a stay in hospital, she needed to be placed. Barchester Corrina Lodge Care Home have been fantastic at looking after my mum who has dementia. My mum is happier and says everyone is friendly. We are really pleased with the care and management staff and couldn't have asked for anything more. We all highly recommend Corrina Lodge."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Activities Team organised a really pleasant walk outing for my sister and other residents this week. Great to be able to join in and help with pushing wheelchairs. I have known Corrina Lodge for more than 6 years since my mother and sister first moved in. I can honestly say I have always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful to residents and relatives alike."

"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."

"This is a time that no one knows what is going to happen but I do know that my husband and all of the Residents in this nursing home are being looked after because they have the most professional staff ever. Their dedication, care and love for the Residents also for each other and the families is amazing. The activity team work continuously to entertain and they try so hard to keep everyone safe and happy. They go way beyond to make sure they have a good time. The nursing and care staff are unbelievable, their work is never ending but you never hear how tired they must feel. All of the staff work so efficiently to keep the home going, I cannot thank them all for keeping our loved ones safe. Continued health and care to them all."

"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."

"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 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?"

"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 nan lived at Corrina Lodge for just under a year. I was always warmly welcomed by the staff and highly impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities. The vast majority of staff were highly professional and skilled. A few need to ensure professionalism at all times, including corridors. Overall I thank you all for caring for my Nan."

"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 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."

"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."

"After frustration caused by Covid restrictions on visits, I have been pleased to stay for 3 weeks of respite, in order to spend more quality time with my wife at Corrina Lodge. There, I saw the empathy and support given by many nurses and carers. Sadly, whilst there I have heard of the death of my younger sister and I was touched by the personal concern staff showed me too. Sharing meals showed that my wife, even at 90, slowly feeds herself or has help from a kind carer. The food was great. Sitting in the garden we could hear laughter as the activities team cheered up those confined to their rooms. How pleasing to hear staff tell me how much they enjoy their work. They deserve a pay rise, I'm sure - as well as grateful appreciation from us all."

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."

"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."
