A very clean and safe environment manned by really friendly careworkers and other support staff who really make you feel at home. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Thomas Edward Mitton House

from David S (Resident) published on 4 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot thank the staff enough for their care and patience. It is a fantastic facility and I would recommend it to anybody. When I first started there, I couldn’t walk and now I am able to walk, with a quad stick. The on-site physio is excellent.

West Heath House

from J B (Partner of Resident) published on 4 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Our experience of West Heath House was almost entirely during lockdown/out in 2020 March to November. The opportunity for a loved one to be accepted as an ABI was very welcome. At times I was humbled by the care given by and the dedication of some staff. The clinical psychologist was the most professional
person I had met on this journey. However, I was very rarely there to witness West Heath House's daily operation. I see that BIRT refers to itself as a business-to-business outfit; it subcontracts to the NHS. I have the feeling that it rubber stamps NHS clinical decisions. 'Rehabilitation' amounted to the nationally minimum recommended therapy inputs per week. Surely they could dig deeper. I felt my loved one was written off too early, maybe ten weeks after admission. She seems to be progressing in her current placement, a specialist ABI unit, in a way that West Heath House could not countenance. The management I found to be very brittle, unpleasant to deal with. Team leaders showed occasional kindness. The care staff is good and kind.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son has been in 9 Twyford Lane for a number of years. He is very happy there, it's like being in a family for him. All the staff are caring and look after his needs very well which can be challenging from time to time. I cannot thank them enough for everything they do! Gives us great peace of mind
to know he is properly cared for. Very grateful to you all. Thank you very much
Reply from Tina Tupper, Service Manager at 9 Twyford LaneThank you for your review.
At Twyford Lane we pride ourselves on ensuring that everyone feels like this is a family unit, ultimately this is their home. We appreciate the difficulties for both the people that we support and their family members in comprehending being away from the comforts of a family environment, thus we ensure we provide all the comforts and care that we can, whilst maintaining dignity, care, inclusion and choice.

9 Twyford Lane

from Celia G (Next of Kin) published on 13 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been resident at this establishment for many years and we have always been impressed with the service they provide. The staff have made enormous efforts to keep the clients occupied, entertained and happy during their confinement within the establishment during the Covid lockdown, while
going to great lengths to keep themselves Covid-free for the clients' protection.
Reply from Tina Tupper, Service Manager at 9 Twyford LaneThank you for your review.
It is great to see appreciation for maintaining a Covid free environment. It has been a difficult 18 months for the people that we support, however, keeping their spirits up was/is paramount. It is key to always listen to everyone as individuals and we tailored planners to reflect this.

9 Twyford Lane

from Marion S (Friend of Resident) published on 28 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are genuine. They are very loyal to the service users. They are a big family. Very low turnover. It is an extremely difficult job. They are all very positive. My friend has been a resident for over 20 years. The service has developed over this time. They bend over backwards to keep him engaged
and safe.
Reply from Tina Tupper, Service Manager at 9 Twyford LaneThank you for your review.
Lovely to see that you feel as a whole, staff encompasses service users with their needs and wishes. Within a supported living setting, service users are always encouraged to live life to their fullest potential, whilst maintaining safety. Staff turnover is as you mentioned ‘very low’ at Twyford Lane, this I feel is evidence of the values that The Disabilities Trust hold within our staff.

9 Twyford Lane

from Kevin W (Brother of Resident) published on 18 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following the death of our Mother, who had been a primary carer, my Brother has now been resident at this facility for a number of years. He has always been treated with respect and supported to lose (a lot of) weight and to stay motivated about this through regular "healthy lifestyles" work. The staff
team routinely go the "extra mile" to make sure that my brother is able to follow his own choices as far as is possible. The staff team seem well supported by management to support a wide range of people who can have complex and challenging needs due to their brain injuries. This is certainly true of their support to my brother who has an acquired Brain Injury, and the staff team work closely with us as a wider family to ensure that his needs continue to be met both at the care home and in the community. The team also have access to professional psychological and OT support, which has also proved invaluable in supporting my brother with his ongoing mobility and loss issues.
Reply from Tina Tupper, Service Manager at 9 Twyford LaneThank you for your review.
At the Disabilities Trust, we pride ourselves on the support and care that we provide to our service users. Our service users are always treated with the dignity and respect they deserve and it is lovely to see that this is reflected to family members. Family members are additionally key to the support and care their family members receive, therefore paramount family additionally have a voice.

Staff are very polite, hard-working and conscientious. They always have time to sort out any issues there may be. There are no onsite amenities and there is a general lack of activities in the local area i.e. no coffee shop or meeting places.
Reply from Tina Tupper, Service Manager at 9 Twyford LaneThank you for your review. We do offer onsite amenities, but unfortunately have not been able to whilst Covid restrictions are in place. The area offers a variety of places within a mile from Twyford Lane including Fish & Chip shop, Betting Shop, Chinese Takeaway, Indian Restaurant which provides a takeaway service, Charity shop, Chemist, Kebab & Pizza shop, a small supermarket with a Post Office in situ, Hair Salon, Doctors Surgery, a public house, which serves food and has an outside seating area.

Jane Percy House

from Jason T (Resident) published on 29 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A number of years ago, after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I was advised that I would need and require 24-hour care each day and that my home was not suited to my condition and needs. Jane Percy House had been recommended from local health services. After visiting the site, I was pleasantly
surprised, and after an assessment from Jane Percy House, I was invited to take residence within. The home was well-engineered to the needs of the users, the accommodation was of high-grade with an outstanding menu. That was 9 years ago. This year in April I was offered residence again as my MS had progressed. In that, I applied again to reside at the home.
After being away for such a long time I was unsure of changes. The home had not changed at all. Still clean, tidy, safe and excellent food. However, the menu had changed from really good to outstanding which is all down to the chef and her staff.
Thank you to all the staff from management to the chef and cleaners you're all amazing.
Reply from Lindsey Tate, Service Manager at Jane Percy HouseDear Jason, I am happy that we could accommodate you returning to Jane Percy House when your situation changed. I am very pleased that you value the effort from the team ensuring that we provide everyone with an outstanding service in their home. Kind regards.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have moved up to Northumberland from Hastings, East Sussex. I have been here for 1 year. Now the staff are very good at what they do. The food is very tasty and the cooks are lovely as with all the team here. The management are very caring, like the care team. Without the care and support I would
not be here today, so thank you Jane Percy House for what you have done for me. You have made me feel a person again.
Reply from Lindsay Tate, Service Manager at Jane Percy HouseDear Katrina, I am pleased that we were able to support you and help you settle in so well at Jane Percy House which must have been an anxious time with moving so far away from your friends. We really do value your feedback and I am so proud of my team for allowing us to provide you with a home that you are comfortable living in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a service user at Jane Percy House, the Disabilities Trust in Cramlington. I have been here for 12 years. Staff are fab and promote our independence as much as possible. We have cooks that do freshly cooked meals every day. Staff are trained to meet an individual's needs. It's a lovely home and
I recommend it to anyone looking to moving into a residential care home.

Jane Percy House

from Michelle C (Resident) published on 16 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have lived at Jane Percy House for just over 2 years. I am not a person that stays in places that long if I don't feel comfortable in my surroundings. The staff are friendly, approachable and supportive. I suffer from anxiety and don't know how I would have managed over the last few months without
their care and emotional support! I feel that everyone here are like my extended family.


The cooks are providing a variety of freshly made (not frozen) meals every day, sometimes baking biscuits, cakes, scones etc from scratch. They also provide meals depending on service users' dietary requirements and they are fully qualified!


Being at Jane Percy House has allowed me to rebuild my confidence, which means I can independently access shops etc, without my anxiety rearing its ugly head! I feel that I've found my true self again and I put that down to being happy at Jane Percy House.

Jane Percy House

from Jennifer L (Mother of Resident) published on 16 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has lived at Jane Percy House for 17 years and the care he has received has been consistently of the highest standard, from physical and emotional care to recognising medical problems and taking appropriate action. There are plenty of activities, which has been important during Covid-19. Safety
measures during Covid-19 have been exactly right. Quality of meals is excellent and was adjusted for my son by adding extra calcium-rich meals to aid healing of his injury (sustained by himself). Jane Percy House has been home from home for my son and I could not recommend the facility, staff and management highly enough.

Jane Percy House

from Dawn R (Wife of Resident) published on 12 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Seems good on the face of it but the care the residents receive is not satisfactory. I know it's been difficult lately but the amount of agency staff is not acceptable. Most cannot do the job required. The food is mostly frozen and the cooks have no qualifications. My husband just left and we were very
grateful when the care staff offered to pack and drop off my husband's belongings. That was until it arrived, all just dumped in bin bags! Nothing was folded, it just looked like rubbish. All wires for his equipment were entangled in one great mass it was very upsetting to see they had treated his belongings with such disrespect.
Reply from Laura Bennett, Media Manager at Jane Percy HouseDear Dawn, thanks for sharing your feedback. I wanted to reach out and apologise for the issues both you and your husband experienced. This is not typical of us. We have highlighted to the team and can assure you it will not happen again.
We set a high standard for ourselves and we're sorry to hear this was not met in your interaction with our business.
As it may be too late to reconcile, I wanted you to know that I have shared your experience with the wider team to be sure we don't make these mistakes again.
If there is anything further I can do for you, or if you would like to discuss, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards, Laura.

Stagenhoe Park

from Janna (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We feel tremendously lucky that our Dad was offered a place at this Stagenhoe/Sue Ryder. It is a rare home that can cope with difficult and complicated conditions.
Before Dad lost his ability to speak he told us that it was a better home and the staff were mothering him.
The staff turnover is low
so that he got to know people. His care plan was completed the first day he arrived. Whenever I arrived he was always clean and cared for. He was at serious risk of falling so staff quickly tried different tactics to minimise risks.
He entered Stagenhoe covered in bruises from falling but they faded and he didn't get any more.
He lived here for a year and that last year of his life was made much better by the care shown by the staff at Stagenhoe.
