All the staff are very welcoming from the reception to the nursing and care givers and my husband was very well cared for during his respite stay. I was pleased that I could visit at any time and also ask questions which were answered. The activities organisers included my husband when he wanted to
join in and I was welcome to attend if I was visiting, especially on the entertainment afternoons which were much enjoyed by residents, staff and visitors. Everything was kept very clean and the food choices were varied and freshly prepared. I would highly recommend this home.

My perspective as relative of a resident. My brother has recently moved into Wilhemina House. My experience has been very positive. The management staff were extremely helpful in the transition from his previous home. The staff are friendly and courteous at all times. My brother is still adjusting to
the new environment and changes in routine make him anxious.

Very busy month for the residents, with all the Christmas activities such as Christmas carols, coffee mornings, all the entertainers coming into the home during all of December to cheer the residents and preparing them for Christmas. The residents all had presents and a lovely Christms dinner.

My relative was here 2 yrs & staff always caring, friendly, compassionate and professional (that included cleaning, catering, maintenance, & admin as well as the manager & care staff ). Staff turnover was low, allowing residents to see the same staff every day. Staff knew regular visitors by name
too. Staff made time to chat with the residents they cared for, & my relative enjoyed taking an interest in them & their families. Staff were running activities most weekdays when I visited, so it was not just the TV left on all day. They would also take phone calls for my relative & give the phone to her so she could still speak on the phonewhen she was too unwell to manage her own phone. She was happy & well cared for. At her end of life, she had to be nursed in bed, but it was a comfort to know she could remain in the same home. Staff liaised with GP, district nurses & local hospice to support her in that. I have visited a few care homes in my time, but this was one of the good ones

Great experience. Mum is well cared for and treated well. Staff are excellent, friendly, caring and helpful. A slight frustration with the recent lift situation, but rectified now (difficult for mum's mobility to be restored after a prolonged time on the corridor/in her room only). However, apart from

My father was a resident at Wilhelmina House from February 2024 to May 2025. He sadly passed away in June 2025 . But in the short time he was there he was very happy there. He particularly enjoyed the friendliness of the staff.

Always a friendly welcome. The whole house is comfortable and has plenty of space to allow you to meet and chat with other residents/families or find a quiet corner. Rooms are bright and comfortable and kept very clean.
Staff are always attentive and helpful and we have no worries about the care provided.
The garden and grounds are lovely and very easy for people with limited mobility to walk around. Food is great.

My grandma has been a resident since Oct 24. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a particularly lovely member of staff, we knew this was home for her. We love the place, staff, and ambience and have made this our 'family home' too.

Very welcoming staff at all times. The staff have gone over and above to make my mother very comfortable. She has a particular fondness for one staff member, the first person to greet her and make her welcome. My mother has settled in and with the improvement of the weather, she loves to sit in the
beautiful garden.
Reply from Sarah Ward, Administrator at Wilhelmina HouseThank you for your lovely review. We are glad that your mum has settled in so well and at our residents meeting last week she commented that she is very happy here.
