Review of Downs House from Rebecca G (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother initially came in for respite care and was very worried. The staff made her feel very welcome and did everything to help her feel as settled as possible. The management were extremely helpful when we were looking for somewhere for mum and I am very happy with our choice. Mum is now staying on here and looks very well and relaxed.

Review of Downs House from Jane T (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My mum was a resident of Downs House from April 2024 until she dies on 12th May 2026.
The building is bright, clean and welcoming, with plenty of communal space including an accessible outside patio and a lovely garden.
The real stars are the staff - nothing was too much trouble; they take the time to get to know the residents. Their kindness, cheerfulness, understanding, respect and patience is endless! As a retired nurse myself I could see how well trained and supervised they were. They cared beautifully for my mum right to the end.

Mum had a bright, spacious ensuite room (all the rooms were ensuite).

Reply from Samantha Thorne, Home manager at Downs House
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We are truly grateful for your kind words and it was a privilege for the whole team at Downs House to care for your mum during her time with us.

We are so pleased to hear that you found the home welcoming and that the...

Review of Downs House from Caroline B (Friend of Resident) published on 12 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
A very caring environment, well-located care home. Friendly staff; many with longevity at the home, which is a good sign - with genuine care for the residents.
Professional, respectful, allowing each resident to have the space and be who they are - live with the needed support and care each individual needs.

Families are always welcome. Light rooms with multiple communal spaces. Good activities, often daily and residents can join us at Petersfield Dementia choir each week, should they wish to.

Review of Downs House from Penny P (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff at Downs House have been amazing. My mum came down from Birmingham, she was frail and frightened, she had not walked for 8 weeks and was too scared and weak to try. 7 weeks later, after the care, and encouragement of all the staff, Mum is walking every day and is fully immersed in all the amazing activities that take place every day. I have not seen Mum looking so well and so happy for years! Thank you, Downs House.

Reply from Samantha Thorne, Home manager at Downs House
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It means so much to all of us to hear about your mum's journey since joining Downs House.

Review of Stroud House from C B (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum has been a resident at Stroud House for just over a year now and l cannot rate it highly enough. All the staff go out of their way to give the best possible care, always.
Relatives are welcomed are welcome to come & see their family members at any time, sometimes staff will encourage you to limit visiting at certain times, but this is ALWAYS discussed with relatives & nothing is enforced.
Staff care as much for the relatives as they do residents which is much appreciated.
The activities lead, is passionate about her role & this shows daily, the range of activities and engagement from ALL staff is wonderful, particularly as the residents requirements differ a lot.

The food served is fabulous, varied & of a very high standard, staff ensure that all residents are offered regular fluids, with a choice of flavours.of squash.

It would be good for mums room to have an en-suite but this is a minor thing & having the excellent things mentioned above far outweighs having an en-suite!

Review of Downs House from V R (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Downs House was always a warm friendly place that felt like home when you walked in.
Sadly, since the change of ownership, the homely atmosphere is gradually disappearing. The bottom line seems to be becoming more important than the needs/wishes of the residents - whose home it is.

Vacancies are not, or only very slowly, replaced, so there are fewer staff to look after the residents - carers have less time to get to know an individual's likes and dislikes, wants and needs; less time to form the relationships essential in care homes, especially with dementia residents who need so much more carers' time.

Reply from Samantha Thorne, Home manager at Downs House

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At the time of your experience, Downs House was in a period of transition and supported by an interim manager while we addressed historical challenges. We chose not to rush recruitment, prioritising the appointment of skilled staff whose values align with our...

A family atmosphere is at the heart of Stroud House with residents first and foremost from the friendly approach of management and staff to residents and visiting family and friends. Everything is done to make you feel at home. Music, entertainment and activities are encouraged with either professionals or staff joining in. Staff are an important part of the home from the kitchen, carers and management all care and go the extra mile for their Stroud family getting to know personalities, likes and dislikes weather joining into the tick of things or just preferring a quiet spot, all are welcome.

Review of Stroud House from Francis H (Son of Resident) published on 10 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The Stroud House staff have been caring for my father since he was diagnosed with dementia and we were advised by health professionals that he would need residential care.

The management and staff at Stroud House are caring and helpful and are always quick to inform family of any care needs or issues as they arise. They are always very happy to provide updates on-ongoing care which is very comforting for the family. Stroud House has its roots as a family run business and still maintains that feel with its friendly and caring atmosphere.

Reply from Samantha Oliver, Home Manager at Stroud House

Thank you so much for your kind words and trust in us. It means a great deal to the whole team to know that you feel supported and reassured.

Your feedback reminds us why we do what we do every day thank you for sharing this.

Review of Stroud House from Amanda P (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can't recommend Stroud House enough. Mum was always resistant to going into care but her needs were becoming more challenging and dad wasn't well enough to continue caring for her. Stroud House were supportive and welcoming right from the start and eventually, with patience and understanding from Sam and her team, mum settled into her new home. There have been ups and downs along the way with mums health and needs, but the staff have always been quick to respond and always keep me informed.

The home has recently undergone a refresh of decor and it's a lovely, welcoming space for the residents and their visitors. There are lots of activities provided, and opportunities to get out and about and families are always welcome to join in. All the staff welcome us by name, with lovely smiles and offers of tea or coffee which is always nice, especially as mum and I used to enjoy going for coffee and cake together.

Reply from Samantha Oliver, Home Manager at Stroud House

Thank you so much for your kind words. I know how difficult those first steps into care can be, and I'm so glad that, with time and support, your mum has been able to settle here at Stroud House. It's lovely to hear that you feel welcomed when you visit - those coffee and cake moments are special,...

Review of Stroud House from Maureen R (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother moved to Stroud House mid-July and I've been pleasantly surprised at how well she has settled. She really was resistant to the move from her own home, but her dementia was getting worse and she wasn't looking after herself properly. The staff have been very caring and kind with her and Mum says she is very well looked after and enjoys the activities and the meals. It's such a relief to know someone is there for her at all times.
