I am sure that for many of you that are looking at this web page today you are doing so because you have some one close to you in need of 24 hour love and devotion and that although your greatest wish is to offer this service yourself, for personal reasons that is not possible; You therefore are looking for someone who through personal experience is able to advise you on locating a special establishment that will fill your absenteeism.

A few years ago I was placed in a similar situation as yourself. My Mother was unable to look after herself due to health and safety reasons and I could not help her as I resided overseas. I found that there are many first class residential homes in and around Ramsgate, all offering a very similar service, but I was fortunate enough to find one very special home for Mum where she found not only the service she required on a 24 hourly basis, but something very special, love and devotion well above the call of duty, that home is Wantsum Lodge. I and my grown up son over the years have visited Mum at Wantsum Lodge on many occasions and always found her cheerful and looking healthy. Mum was always well presented with her hair combed and in clean clothes. The home was always clean and tidy and the staff very welcoming, even though they were very busy they always had time for us.

Recently Mum had a major stroke which left her incapacitated, but thankfully I was able to join her in her last days at Wantsum lodge I have always been impressed with the service offered by Luke and his dedicated staff, but over the last 2 days that I was with mum I witnessed something very special, real love and concern for Mums comfort throughout her last days confirming to me that Wantsum Lodge has been the right decision for Mums Health, happiness and wellbeing. The staff even though they were kept very busy by the other residents ensured that when Mum finally left us she would not be alone. Right up to the end she had someone holding her hand and comforting her.

It is not possible to expect a thank you to be enough. Words are not enough to describe my feelings towards Luke and his dedicated staff. I hope that by reading Mums and my personal experience with Wantsum Lodge that this will help you to overcome any doubts as to making this very serious decision on behalf of your loved one.
