Testimonials
“As my Mother has been in Valley Lodge for eighteen months now, it has become clear that her physical and mental state have deteriorated considerably. Without 24-hour care and supervision, it is obvious that she would not have been able to keep living as long as she has. This is due to the amazing staff that cares for her which cannot be easy under difficult and challenging circumstances. I have a great deal of respect for the staff and there are one or two that are brilliant in what they do.”

“I believe my Mother's care is excellent. The staff are friendly, considerate and very helpful. The standard of Valley Lodge is high, it is clean and warm with a cheerful atmosphere and the food looks (and smells!) excellent. My Mother's physical and mental state have improved greatly since she moved in.”

“Valley Lodge really is amazing. My Mum continues to tell me that she is very happy at Valley Lodge. Everyone is very nice to her. Thanks to the management and catering staff identifying her eating disorder, that has now been resolved. Mum loves the entertainment and activities on offer and loves to take an active part in the gardening club and the knitting group. Thank you everyone”
