Overall Experience

John Masefield House has gone through a turbulent time with a change in ownership, managers and then Covid. Now they are coming out strongly on the other side under the effective leadership of the new manager.
Despite these hurdles, I cannot fault the care and commitment from the care workers, nurses

and activities staff. My sister has been at John Masefield for nearly 5 years and is loving it. John Masefield is a great improvement on her last home, which closed at short notice.
All the rooms have patio doors onto the gardens and there is a feeling of light in the home. There is always some sort of activity in the mornings and with their excellent chefs, tasty meals to look forward to. In the summer there are barbecues by the river.
A group of residents' family and friends meet monthly with the manager for an update and to discuss suggestions and any concerns. The group also meet to plan fund raising events, such as the Christmas party and summer fete.
The home is supported by an excellent local GP.

Overall Experience

This is a most beautiful home and once owned by the poet, John Masefield. The grounds reach down to the Thames where there is a lovely covered area to watch the boats and geese pass by. Pur peace. All rooms are large with ensuite and bright and cheery staff are very caring and kind. The atmosphere is

good and it is a happy place. to be.
