My sister and I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff who went above and beyond making Christmas lunch on 20/12/25 special for residents and families. It was a lovely atmosphere with carol singing to a duet which we all joined in. Some staff have young children of their own by still gave time for us, It make us feel quite humble. We all sat at family tables with excellent food and drink which everyone enjoyed. From the moment we arrive in reception, corridors and dining room were all decorated beautifully 'even the eilings'. It made our Christmas special having time with our sister knowing we cannot manage to take her home.

After researching residential homes in and around Colchester, Loganberry Lodge, seemed the home that would fit all mums needs. She now has three proper meals a day (mum had previously lost three stone in weight). No longer has pressure sore due to sitting in wet pads at night as care staff attend to mums toileting needs 24hrs a day. Mum has always been a sociable person, but had lost all her friends. She now has the opportunity to make new friends. When I visit mum I can spend quality time with her instead of during housework etc, most importantly mum loves it there.

My mum stayed with you for just over a year. We couldn't have asked for better care for her. We are also very grateful for all the support you gave us as a family. Mum was very happy in your care making it a home from home. Particularly through her final days, the staff cared for mum went above and beyond. A special thank you to a few specific members of staff, who were incredible. All the staff and management team were amazing and my mum loved you all. Thank you.
