Overall Experience

Since my mum started attending the day centre, she has truly blossomed. She is so much happier and really looks forward to going. Its wonderful to see her come home smiling & relaxed and she speaks so fondly of the staff and how caring & kind they are. The staff really are so incredibly kind and patient

and go above and beyond in their support, not only to my mum, but to me as well. They have been so knowledgeable, understanding and supportive around her diagnosis, which means more than I can say. The regular communication and updates are fantastic and put my mind at ease. The atmosphere is homely, warm, friendly and safe, with lots of laughter & singing! It's such a comfort knowing that my Mum is treated with such dignity & care. I am extremely grateful for everything that they do.

Reply from Shirley Bradley, Service Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern Day CareThank you so much for your lovely words. It is wonderful having your mum in the day centre and she is so kind and caring towards the other clients too. She is great company :)

Overall Experience

Really happy with all the care given to my dear friend. First class care and food was excellent. My friend came for a few weeks' respite after a fall, and I would recommend Friend of the Elderly to any family and friends.

Reply from Maricel Biringquez, Unit Manager - Davenham at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)Hi Mark, Thank you so much for taking time to give us such a great review.

Mum had excellent care throughout her stay. It was very comforting to know she was safe, secure and being looked after by a team of staff who clearly had her best interests at heart. Whilst it is an impressive property, it was the approach staff that impressed most.

Overall Experience

All the staff at the day centre where my husband attended were brilliant. They are all very professional , yet really personal to my husband's individual needs. They reassured me and my husband loved going and looked forward to his visits. They were very attentive to every detail to make it a special

time for him and in turn made me feel safe when dropping him off. I can not thank them enough , you all work really hard and I really appreciated everything you did.

from Ralph K (Husband of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am the primary carer/ husband of my wife who, because of her dementia, requires full time support and care. In March last year I began the search for a day care centre which would give me some time out in looking after her. After viewing a number of centres together with the family I decided the FOE

day centre at Davenham would be the place most suited to my wife's needs. How right we were! Despite initial reservations from my wife she soon settled in to the daily routines and activitiies. We increased attendance from 2 to 3 days per week very soon after the intial few months.
All of the staff there were and are brilliant with nothing too much trouble to make my wife comfortable and with the amount of activities available, the reassurance by the care staff when she feels a little vulnerable and the general ambience of the surroundings I would strongly recommend the Davenham day centre to anyone who wants that extra little bit of care and support for the service user and their carer

Overall Experience

My friend came for respite care in July and was sobbing because it had come to this - needing to be in a care home. After 2 weeks, she wanted to have 2 more weeks of respite. Her anxiety was diminished and she enjoyed the company of residents and especially the company, kindness of the staff. She wants

to be in her own home so is going back with 24 hour care set in place. If she cannot cope, she will be happy to return to Davenham. Everyone has been wonderfully kind.

Overall Experience

Mum has been using the Day Care facilty for the last four years. She absolutely loved every minute there and even said she wished she could take her bed. Sadly the time has come for her to move into residential care and she was very sad having to say goodbye to her friends and her amazing carers who

all gave her a lovely send off. The carers are obviously Angels on loan. Thank you all so very much for your dedication and being Mums friend xxx

Reply from Shirley Bradley, Service Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern Day CareThank you for the wonderful review. We loved having your mum in the service the last few years and she is truly missed, but we are delighted she is settling in well into her new home.

from Marjorie N (Wife of Resident) published on 8 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My husband was cared for following a fall that resulted in a hospital stay. What a relief to find the wonderful care he received upon leaving the hospital for respite/rehabilitation, which gave me such peace of mind. He had a lovely en-suite room that was ideal for someone with Dementia, including a

bell that sounded when he got out of bed to give a warning to the staff. The lounge/dining area is well furnished with comfortable chairs and tables
Most of all it was lovely to see the loving care the staff were giving to the residents. The grounds with their trees and flowers are a credit to the gardener, so tranquil, my husband even went to feed the ducks!
The whole area was spotlessly clean. During my husband's stay, it was our Diamond Wedding Anniversary the manager kindly said we could make use of the coffee lounge for a small get together of friends.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

Overall Experience

My father has resided at Davenhams for 6 years now & is well settled. He knows most of the staff who attend to him & they know him with his little quirks. I live in London, so my link is long distance, but I try to visit as often as I can. My father is bedridden & the carers feed him & turn him regularly

due to bedsores. He says to me he's content, but has said to his carers on several occasions that he wants to 'go', but his body won't let him. Overall, as far as I can tell from my too infrequent visits, I'm happy with the care he's receiving, including from the local community nurses.

Reply from Jo Bennett, General Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern (Bradbury Court, Davenham and Perrins House)Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your father's experience at Davenham, we really appreciate it.

The house and grounds are beautiful. My relative's room is quite large and comfortable with lovely views of the common. The staff are kind and attentive and his needs are well met. The team have gone out of their way to provide his room with more home comforts to help him settle in. Overall I am very

impressed with the home and the care provided.

from Mel C (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Due to Mom's deteriorating health she will now be a full time resident in a care home so will no longer be a day visitor to Davenham. It comes with sadness that she has to leave as I truly feel she was blessed to have been able to spend time at the day centre. The staff were absolutely brilliant, there

wasn't anything that was too much trouble with her care and support. Initially Mom was a little anxious when she first started going however, she was warmly welcomed by all so that didn't last long and she soon wanted to increase her daily attendance. She loved all the interactions and activities, especially having a little sing along, dancing and having her nails painted! I highly recommend Davenham to anyone wanting some extra special care, support and interaction for their loved ones. Thank you all, you'll be very missed.

Reply from Shirley Bradley, Service Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern Day CareThank you for your lovely comments. We loved having your mum in Malvern Day Care and we know that she will bring joy to those looking after her in her new care home.

The whole process of getting mum into a suitable home for respite, used as a transition from hospital back to her home, has been a pleasant experience. From the initial assessment in hospital to the discharge back to mum's home. The whole team have been responsive and shown care and compassion.
Fun

and respectful. Thanks.
