Westerfield Care Home

from L K (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was in for respite in Westerfield Care Home for 4 weeks over Christmas 2024/New Year 2025 before becoming a resident in July 2025. The support and care the whole family get from the staff is exceptional. They are always willing to listen and are very reassuring. Nothing is a problem to them!
My mum is settling in well at the home. I feel very reassured that she is safe and in a caring environment where all her needs are being met. This is a very well-run care home by a great team. Thank you.

Silver Trees

from Pete L (Son of Resident) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was a resident from December 2022 until August 2023. My Dad is currently a resident (since November 2023), so I have been a regular visitor to the home (nursing care floor) for two and a half years.


I have nothing but praise for the Home. There has never been an issue that hasn't been immediately

addressed, such as Mum losing her false teeth and Dad losing his hearing aids!


The care staff are absolutely brilliant - nothing is too much trouble. They constantly engage with Dad, who has Alzheimer's and the personal care that he receives is excellent.


The managers are really helpful do an excellent job. They have been pushing through changes and improvements which are appreciated by residents and visitors alike.


Dad loves the food! He tells me that he is very happy to live at Silver Trees and that he feels well cared for and safe. I used to look after him at home and the fact that he now feels like that gives me huge reassurance.


I want to thank the staff for their efforts.

The care for my mother at Silvertrees has been very good. She has been there since November 2023, and throughout her stay I have always felt assured that her needs, physical, mental and social, are being met.
The staff are friendly, kind and considerate. It's always a pleasure to see them.
For special
occasions, the staff have always gone out of their way to accommodate and enhance the occasion. I am very grateful for this.

I have been in this care home permanently for around 16 months and my observations are that overall I am quite happy with my care here.
The staff are helpful and friendly and I have a good relationship with the deputy manager, who is a friend to me, whom I can talk to about any problems that I may
have. I believe that this care home has a good positive attitude and feeling from everyone concerned, the management and staff.

Swn-y-Mor Care Centre

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Exceptional care and facilities. All the care staff are friendly and approachable and all take time to chat with residents and relatives. Office staff and managers are efficient and always willing to help. The facilities, meals, entertainments are high quality. I feel my aunt is safe and comfortable
with plenty of opportunities for interaction.
The one tiny improvement I could suggest would be to provide occasional weekend activities.

From initial contact involving assessment process there has always been a sense of professionalism, empathy and understanding of my mothers needs, in my estimation a good sign of how well the home is maintained can be evidenced by the minimal turnover of staff and genuine happy atmosphere which comes
form the staff during my visits.

Silver Trees

from N W (Son of Resident) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had 2 stays in SilverTrees, firstly in December as a resident on the general care floor and secondly in January 25 for palliative/end of life care.
At all times, the standard of care Mum received was outstanding. The staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to help Mum. The
deputy manager was absolutely exceptional and is a credit to her profession. Mum loved being there throughout her brief stay. She loved her room, the food and she really enjoyed the activities.
Mum's end-of-life care was first class. She was well cared for, kept warm and comfortable. We were treated with dignity and kindness at all times.
