Mum's health sadly declined late last year so my brother and I visited a few local care homes to gauge which might be most suitable for mums needs. We were immediately impressed by the skills and knowledge of the Management, nursing and support team at Orchid Care, and the warmth, friendliness and care
displayed by all. When deciding on a care home placement it should not just be based on the decor and facilities. Making both the resident and visiting family and friends feeling welcome and secure in a homely comfortable atmosphere is paramount and I'm pleased to say Orchid Care truly delivers in every department.
Reply from Zeta Zeta, Operations Director at Orchid Care HomeThank you for these kind words of recommendation, it is a difficult to choose the right care home for a loved one. The team at Orchid are professional but also very welcoming, kind and caring, we are glad are happy with the choice you made.

Mum has only been in Orchid for a few weeks but from the moment we first visited we have all been made to feel so welcome by every member of staff that we meet. Everyone is very caring, friendly and approachable. She has been treated kindly, with respect and already feels at home. As a family all of
this gives us great peace of mind.
Reply from Alex Keevans, PA to Operations Director at Orchid Care HomeWe're delighted to hear that your mum has settled in so well at Orchid and that you've all felt so welcomed by the team. Knowing she already feels at home and cared for with kindness and respect means a great deal to us. Thank you.

Beth arranged an afternoon tea on Friday 13th March for Mothers Day.
It was lovely to see so many families attend this event and the food was as good as always thanks to Dale.
These functions would not be possible if it were not for the dedication of such wonderful people as Beth and Dale.
Everyone
enjoyed the afternoon and it was a joy to see the smiles on the female residents and their families.

I do a review for Orchid every now and again because I think it's really important for relatives to know how their loved ones are being looked after.
Our mum has been at Orchid coming up to 3 years. I've often described some of the carers as adopted family. The trust we build and the comfort we get
from knowing our mum is in the best place. It is massively important and reassuring to us.
Congrats to all that work there. You make a huge difference.
Reply from Alex Keevans, PA to Operations Director at Orchid Care HomeThank you so much for sharing this. Its incredibly reassuring to hear how well your mum is being cared for, and the way you describe the team as adopted family says everything about the relationships theyve built with you. Knowing shes safe, supported, and genuinely cared for brings a level of comfort that cant be overstated. Your words are a real credit to everyone at Orchid. They clearly make a meaningful difference every single day, and its lovely to see that recognised

My sister and I have both our parents as permanent residents in Orchid, and since our mum joined in June 2025 (followed by dad a couple of months later), we have been extremely impressed in almost every aspect. We visited quite a few care homes in Swindon, and Orchid stood out as the 5 star option.
We haven't regretted our choice whatsoever, and although there are always small and rare 'niggles' and we had the odd teething issue, everything that hasn't been perfect, has been addressed and dealt with very well by the management and the brilliant staff. Everyone at Orchid is lovely, friendly and very approachable. In the 9 months, we have rarely seen a staff member leave, so the staff-retention must be high. This indicates that the carers and staff are happy, and happy staff=happy residents=happy families! We visit Orchid most days, and each time we leave, we go away knowing that our parents are in the best possible hands, and are being looked after by some excellent carers.
Reply from Arifa Kapasi, Regional Support and Compliance Manager at Orchid Care HomeThank you for your kind words and for the amazing feedback regarding the care and support that your relatives receive at Orchid Care Home. It is invaluable and also validates the hard work of the entire team.

My mother is well cared for in every respect. Personal care, nursing care, activities and diet. Her personal wishes and personality are also taken into consideration and catered for each day. When I visit we can sit and chat on our own with a cup of tea and a cake. Such a difference to the worry of
what might be happening when she was in her house. We couldn't be with her 24/7. Now we know she is safe at all times.
Reply from Zeta Zeta, Operations Director at Orchid Care HomeThank you for your kind words and letting us know that you feel your mum is now safe, which will allow you to have more meaningful and quality time together when visiting her.
