Providing round-the-clock care to a loved one can be tiring and draining of mental and physical strength, and sometimes we all deserve a break to recover.

TESTIMONIALS
WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
I was very well looked after by all of the staff, everyone was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. There was lots of activities and the outdoor space is really lovely. I’m looking forward to my next ‘holiday’ at Leah Lodge
A H (Respite Resident)
My father spent three years at Rectory Court in Blackheath and then his last few months at Leah Lodge Care Home, the sister home for those with greater needs. The staff were unfailingly kind and considerate, as well as highly professional and made Dad’s last years so much better than they could have been. His wife and sons are enormously grateful.
Giles C (Son of Resident)
Leah Lodge always pays great attention to detail and record keeping and always responds promptly to any concerns. The staff are caring and very helpful. There is a good range of resident activities and lots of encouragement for friends and relatives to join in. My friend feels safe, happy and cared for.
Sally A (Friend of Resident)
My Mum was in Leah Lodge care home in October and overall I was pleased with her 2 week stay. She suffers from dementia and we visited her a couple of times every day and she is well looked after.
Jim M (Son of Resident)
Very welcoming and friendly. This was for two weeks of respite care. Had visited beforehand and was impressed by the room, surroundings and staff. Thankful that we have somewhere to go to in future.
