We have had a lovely time at Nazareth Lodge Lunch Club on Friday 31st January. The meal was cooked lovely and we had seconds of the Scampi. The sponge pudding was very light and soaked in custard went down a treat. Thank you and we will be back next month.

Mrs T, Daughter

Testimonials

My mother has been in Nazareth Lodge for almost four years and in that time we've had nothing but praise for the home. It really is a home and a very happy one, very well managed with friendly respectful staff for whom nothing is too much. Requests, comments, issues if any arise are dealt with swiftly and efficiently. My mother is well looked after in every respect and I look forward to seeing the staff when I visit. I left a review here three years ago and since then they have had to cope with all the complexities Covid threw at them. They handled everything so well, keeping us fully informed of all developments and managing to keep Covid out for a very long time. Nazareth Lodge really is an exceptional home. My mother could not be in a better place.

Testimonials

My mother has lived at Nazareth Lodge for a year now and throughout that period she has received excellent care. The staff are kind and considerate the atmosphere is cosy and homely with plenty of social engagement and activities on offer and a beautiful garden to enjoy.
