The feature that makes Silverways special is the staff that work there. Everyone is friendly, courteous and go above and beyond for your loved one. My father in law was so well cared for that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Silverways. They go out for day trips, offer activities such as crafts and
quizzes and make everyone feel welcome and included.
Reply from Janine May, Home Manager at Silverways Nursing HomeThank you for your lovely words. Happy New Year. All the best, Janine.

This was the first experience for mum to go into respite care and a difficult time for family to choose a suitable care home on her behalf. Avondene offered a homely, cosy environment, We couldn't have been more grateful to the dedicated staff team who welcomed mum and supported her to settle
in for her stay. Mum was encouraged to socialise and joined in with group activities, this was something we were not expecting her to do.
In the past year mum experienced a stroke then broke her leg which resulted in mobility issues. Mum also has short term memory loss due to dementia.
During her stay she was supported to mobilise safely, the group activities offered supported her core strength and coordination whilst having fun and socialising which was great to see. Medical needs were dealt with immediately and relayed to family. The residents we met appeared to be settled and content which gave us reassurance. Mum is happy to return for respite care again in the future.

Excellent care home. All the staff made Silverways a safe, warm and caring environment for my father. It is not the most modern / plush home but this is not what counts - it is the staff, entertainment, food and the overall welcoming feeling of the home. We were delighted my father lived at Silverways
- he was really comfortable and happy. I cannot recommend it highly enough
Reply from Alan Johnston, Manager at Silverways Nursing HomeThank you very much for your review. It was a real pleasure caring for your father and we have many happy memories of the time he spent with us.

We were so glad we chose Silverways for my brother's end-of-life care and so was he. He loved his room and the attention and care from the staff, nothing was ever too much trouble. The establishment has had a wonderful refurbishment and the facilities could not be better. The focus is on care rather
than profit and that makes a huge difference.
Reply from Alan Johnston, Manager at Silverways Nursing HomeThank you very much for your review and very kind words which I will be passing on to the team here at Silverways. It was a pleasure caring for your brother.

My first visit was to see my Aunt who is a resident. I took my Dad as he is also in a home (which is the best in our area and has the highest recommendations). My first impression was how organised, efficient, friendly, and fond the entire establishment was. My Dad after 3 subserve visits has relocated
here and loved it (I'm delighted to be able to say!). Much more space and room than his previous home and cheaper too. Highly recommend.
Reply from Alan Johnston, Manager at Silverways Nursing HomeThank you so much for your review. I am delighted to hear that both your father and yourself are happy with everything here at Silverways and will be sure to pass your positive comments on to the team here.

Her room is good and
the only reason we scored satisfactory is it is one of the smaller rooms. However, she has been provided with an 'air mattress' and it is very clean.

My dad has been very well looked after and treated with care, kindness and dignity. The staff are very patient with him and encourage him to join in activities. Dad loves the food at Silverways, and nothing is too much trouble. His room is comfortable with a nice outlook, and the home is very clean.

I can fully recommend Silverways Nursing Home for its efficient care, very friendly staff, cleanliness, good food and most importantly, a feeling of being in safe and caring hands at a time of vulnerability. There is a 'family' feel. This is my second visit for respite care and there is no doubt I would
want to return to Silverways if I need nursing home care in the future. Thank you to all the staff.
