What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Smyth Lodge care home.

They really encourage families to get involved with the home. They are always letting us know what events are planned, inviting us to come and join in with the activities when we visit, and they have regular meetings for relatives. The management meet with us monthly and it's a very open, honest discussion about what's happening in the home and with our loved ones. The manager is always available if we need to speak about anything.
