Testimonials
The staff and facilities are excellent, and the care for my grandmother is of the highest standard. She is now thriving again, at 98! In her words, “I’m very happy and content and couldn’t ask to be in a better place. I’m looked after very well and have no complaints.

The team at Jackman’s has done everything possible during the Covid pandemic to keep my 98-year-old mum as safe and happy as possible, providing care and company and keeping spirits up. The home is always warm, clean and tidy, and I feel the home listens to me and reacts to requests wherever possible. It is large enough to provide the facilities and care required by my mum, but small enough to feel personal rather than too corporate. The owners and manager are actively involved in maintaining high standards and providing individual care to their residents, and the lovely care team are friendly and so hardworking.

Annice B (Daughter of Resident)
I have always been well looked after. Activities are provided, but I do knitting, crosswords, sudokus and jigsaw puzzles, which take up a lot of my time. It is good to have people around as I was on my own for 20-years. Carers always around if I need help.

The past year has been awful, as everybody knows. Therefore I will not dwell on it. Suffice to say that Jackman’s has made incredible efforts in keeping the COVID virus at bay. I can only imagine the strain they have been under in protecting not only my mother and the other residents but also themselves when one considers that they are in the thick of things every day, just like the NHS workers in our hospitals. Congratulations and many heartfelt thanks for their efforts thus far. Albeit, unfortunately, that we are not out of the woods yet.

The whole team at Jackman’s Lodge have performed incredibly well to respond to the demands of the pandemic. They have kept Mum safe as well throughout this extremely difficult and dangerous time, creating innovative means to allow limited visiting opportunities while keeping staff, residents and visitors safe. All while delivering their usual high level of care. Thank you!

Doug P (Son of Resident)
The experience that we have of the care given to Mum is excellent. They care about her so well. The care home is clean, tidy and cosy. The staff are kind, friendly and cheerful. Mum is very happy, so I am happy.

Sally L (Daughter of Resident)
Jackman’s Lodge is very homely, the staff look after the residents very well and are all pleasant to the residents and their relatives. The meals are delicious, having personally tasted them. The rooms are always clean. There are always activities for the residents to get involved in daily. I would recommend this care home to anyone who required personal and committed care.

Su C (Daughter of Resident)
Senior management and staff are going above and beyond to provide a safe environment for residents during this very difficult time, all staff are trying their best, particularly one senior carer; I have no idea how she has been managing to cope, she is a real asset to Jackman’s Lodge. The home is cosy, clean and has a nice atmosphere, my family member seems to be happy and contented.

Angela S (Daughter of Resident)
Jackman’s Lodge is warm & welcoming & is a home from home for residents, relatives & staff alike. I love working here & consider all the residents & staff as family – working in healthcare is never “just a job”, but it really isn’t here.

Hannah Crane
I have been volunteering at Jackman’s Lodge for about 7 years. I run an arts and craft group once a week and a wine and cheese afternoon. I help the activities coordinator wherever I can. The staff and residents at the home have always made me welcome, everyone is so caring and friendly. I admire the staff for their resilience especially in the current circumstances, they go over and above in their care of the residents. I look forward to going back to see everyone when this lockdown is over.
