Barchester Healthcare Sherwood Lodge Care Home

In January 2024 it became apparent that our loved one, at 95 years old, needed more support than we were able to provide and was no longer able to live independently. With no previous experience in the care sector we were bewildered and didn't know where to turn for guidance and advice. We called into Sherwood Lodge whilst driving past one day and it changed everything. From that very first encounter it was evident that this was the place for us. Sadly our loved one died recently but that loss is made more bearable by knowing that for the last four months of her life she was happy and well cared for. Without exception every member of staff demonstrated infinite patience, immense kindness and genuine care meeting her every need. We were welcomed as members of the Sherwood Family and nothing was too much trouble. The climate and ethos at Sherwood Lodge gave us everything we wanted and more. High professional standards, teamwork and positive attitudes make Sherwood Lodge a very special place. Thank you Team Sherwood!

This is such a warm and caring home! The staff are wonderful; cheerful, friendly, warm and nothing is too much trouble. My mum has lived in 3 care homes in the last 15 months, and she has never been happier than she is now, at Sherwood Lodge. Thank you so much!

My Dad has recently moved into Sherwood Lodge. At one point he was very reluctant at the thought of a care home but his experience of Sherwood Lodge has changed that for the positive. The standard of care is second to none - good care, friendly and helpful staff and great variety of meals.

My mother is a resident at Sherwood Lodge having moved from a far inferior home in a very frail state. She is now settled having recovered beyond our expectations and this is due in no small part to the care and attention she receives from the dedicated staff at the home. There is a wide variety of activities and entertainment to keep the residents engaged and carers frequently go the extra mile to include my mother and take her out. I have often arrived to visit and been pleased to find that she has been taken out to a nearby coffee morning! I have no hesitation in recommending Sherwood Lodge as a safe and happy home; made so by the excellent team who are highly valued by me and my family.

Sherwood Lodge has taken care of our sister Mary since December 2021. Although there has been quite a few changes over the last 12 months , Mary receives great care from all the management and staff that work at the care home . She is very happy there and loves the food and all the staff.
