Ivy Lodge Retirement Home

Jul 11th, 2022

I am a carer at Ivy lodge, I must say what a happy and enjoyable place to work. As well as it being a family run home its a family environment for both staff and residents. I look forward to going to work.

Mam moved into Ivy Lodge 14 months ago and shes always telling us how all the staff are so kind and very hard working, and we wholeheartedly agree. As soon as you enter the building you notice a friendly, homely atmosphere, so different from the institution feeling Ive experienced on visiting other care homes. A full programme of wide ranging activities, visiting entertainers and trips out has obviously been suspended, but all staff have gone above and beyond in organising and participating in in-house events ranging from their own choir to a beach party, as illustrated on Facebook. Communication with residents families is excellent and overall Mam could not be better cared or catered for.

My mother in law has been in Ivy Lodge for 10 months now and they have been amazing with her particularly during lockdown. She has enjoyed a wide variety of activities organised in house and has been able to continue having her hair done every week by the staff. She is desperate to be able to hug her family and play with her granddaughter but until it is safe this is not allowed, this is the reason all staff and residents have been free from the virus. They have however, erected a gazebo in the garden with flowers around it and with a separation screen for visits where you can speak freely and see each other very clearly.

I have worked at Ivy lodge for nearly 10 years and have loved every minute of being part of such a lovely team. We all aim to give the highest standards of care and our residents and their families are our priority. Ivy lodge is a home from home where we have many activities including baking, flower arranging, arts and crafts, cards and board games, regular entertainment and regular trips to local attractions plus much more.
