Algester Lodge

The staff are absolutely wonderful! This place is so clean and well maintained.Beautiful gardens throughout staff are amazing with all the elderly residents. I have been coming here for a while often visiting and cannot fault anything! There is a Selection of choice meals for residents to choose from Kitchen staff work hard yet always smiling say hello when I walk past and all the meals cooking smell great! Staff are polite helpful and look after the residents with care and respect. I'm impressed.

We would like to share our experiences about Maria who helps look after our Mother with dementia. What a compassionate, caring lady she is. She goes above and beyond to ask us what our mother requires and what can they do to make her more comfortable? She is always willing to listen to us. Such a caring beautiful soul you are Maria thank you it doesn’t go unnoticed.

My mum has been at AL for some time now and originally stayed for respite. Mum is at End of Life now and every time I have visited my mother I have always found evidence of good care. I have found staff to be very friendly and very focused when attending to my mother. It is always clean and tidy and emails with updates have always been given to me about COVID or any other important information. I am aware that Nursing homes need more staff but I have never felt my mothers care has suffered. I have seen the meals and even fed my mother and I have been very impressed. I cannot really fault Algester Lodge or Bundaleer Lodge where mum had been for about 5 years or so. It is not easy to manage residence including my mother, but to be honest, I haven't had many major concerns in all of these years and I am not easily satisfied. I definitely recommend Algester lodge if you are looking for good care for your loved one. I have read some 1 star reviews and shrug my shoulders, I am not sure about their experience so I can only write about mine and I am very happy I have chosen both nursing homes to take care of my mother especially now that she has sadly reached "End of Life" stage. Thank you to all the staff from both lodges, I appreciate the care you have given my mum,

I had to book my husband in for emergency respite because of carer burn out, with very limited notice. My husband had always refused respite, with fears of abandonment so he had never been placed before and I had cared solely for him for 15yrs. The staff were absolutely wonderful and caring. The facilities and meals were faultless! This now means my husband is now no longer resistant of respite, and for the fist time in years, we can have regular breaks and he knows he will be loved and cared for. Chris
