Kirkley Lodge care home, Coulby Newham

My mother was admitted a number of years ago, when Alzheimer's dementia prevented independent living. The staff engaged with her, building up relationships of trust, enabling an improvement in her diet and personal hygiene. Many of them took time to know about her, within the context of her previous life. She was always treated with gentle care and… Read more respect. The home was able to be flexible with Mum's sleep variation. Not a problem to provide 11am breakfast if she had wanted a lie-in or crumpets for a supper snack. I recall specifically a plate of small, tempting fruit portions to try and whet her appetite. Recently her health declined. The staff informed me and sought the appropriate medical attention. They all worked to fulfil her wishes (and the family's) to die peacefully in the home. She was treated with dignity at all times. Her comfort was maximised. The staff also looked after me and the family, practically and with friendly consolation.

My mam had to reluctantly go into Kirkley Lodge Care Home as a step down from hospital, she had been living on her own for 5 years since my lovely dad passed during COVID, she has never really dealt with her deep grief, she's had limited mobility for 40 yrs then a new hip replacement in Oct24 and whilst recovering at home she broke her upper arm in… Read more a fall in Nov24, she ended up losing so much weight and had become so frail, the minute she went into the home in Dec24 she was made to feel welcome, all the lovely staff have made the transition for us as a family so much easier and we cannot thank them enough. My mam is now back to her normal weight, she's so much happier now, my family love visiting as we can all see how well she is doing, all the staff have a lovely rapport with mam and all the other residents too. I can go home and leave mam now and know she is safe and cared for which means the world to me xx

My Auntie became a resident in Kirkley Lodge following an admission to hospital and prior to that had been living alone, where she was not coping and had become quite depressed. But since being in Kirkley Lodge, she is thriving on the care and attention she receives. She has a great relationship with the carers and both her and I have had nothing … Read morebut praise for all the staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kirkley Lodge to anyone looking for a care home.

Mum has been at Kirkley Lodge for over two years now and is very happy there. The reason being is that Kirkley is a lovely place and the staff are exceptional with the care and compassion they show. Not just to Mum but all the residents. Mum loves the company of the other residents along with the activities provided and she likes a laugh with the … Read morestaff. We as a family know Mum is being looked after which is a relief to us all. Thank you Kirkley.

We as their family are truly grateful to each and every one of them as it gives us peace and satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with every aspect of … Read morethe home.

It's just over the 12-month anniversary of both my parents entering Kirkley Lodge and it has been a wonderful 12 months, the previous few years where we tried to look after and care for my parents had been very tiring and extremely stressful for both my brother and his wife and my self and my wife. Despite our best endeavours, the task was becoming… Read more beyond us and the relief and joy we got from seeing our parents in a secure safe welcoming, and very loving environment has been literally a lifesaver. The staff have been fantastic from the outset and have in effect become extended family and made our and especially our parent's lives so much happier and stress-free. I couldn't recommend this place any stronger to any potential customers as an ideal solution to a difficult situation for all.
