Elizabeth House

from M S (Son of Resident) published on 14 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Although my father with his dementia was reluctant to go in he seemed to settle quickly. His overall health has improved and I am happy that he is now physically safe. His hygiene has improved. The staff quickly recognised when he was not himself and had a nurse assistant review him who diagnosed an
acute illness and prescribed treatment.
Reply from Rachel Wood, Head of Customer Relations at Elizabeth HouseThank you for sharing your experience. We're so pleased your father has settled in well and that his health and wellbeing have improved. It's especially reassuring to hear our team recognised the change in his condition quickly and acted promptly. Your feedback means a great deal to us.

Elizabeth House

from Sarah W (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Elizabeth House in January for respite care, but she loves it so much she would now like to stay permanently. The change in her has been transformational - she is happier than we have seen her in a long time and has really come out of herself.


When she was living alone, she was lonely,

depressed, and often confused. Since moving into Elizabeth House, she has completely flourished. The staff have been absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and most importantly, Mum is very happy there.
Reply from Rachel Wood, Head of Customer Relations at Elizabeth HouseThank you so much for sharing this, it's truly heart warming to read. We're delighted that your mum feels so happy and at home with us. Seeing her flourish, regain her confidence, and enjoy each day means everything. Your kind words about our team and the atmosphere are greatly appreciated, and we're so glad Elizabeth House has become such a positive, welcoming place for her.

Talbot View

from Graciete T (Friend of Resident) published on 14 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend moved to TV last November, as her husband had been living there for more than four years.
She always spoke highly of all the staff and couldn't be happier with the care her husband was receiving, so it was just natural for her to move to TV when she needed to. It was like home from home.
My
friend passed away recently. My friend had a good quality of life in her last months. The Care Team at TV didn't just provide physical comfort to her, they also ensured she was emotionally well.
All the time, my friend lived at TV she was treated with dignity and respect, knowing her husband would continue to be treated the same way.
Reply from Rachel Wood, Head of Customer Relations at Talbot ViewThank you for sharing such a heartfelt tribute. We're deeply sorry for your loss, but truly grateful to hear your friend felt at home and was cared for with dignity, comfort, and compassion. Your kind words mean a great deal to our team.

Talbot View

from A P (Friend of Resident) published on 13 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend seems contented at Talbot View. The extremely kind staff are patient in their dealings with a man who has dementia, and was in normal life an independent spirit. He delights in the home's gardens, and he loves the food. The music played in the hallway is of one type only,and sadly doesn't
fit with the taste of all residents. My friend was a professional musician and teacher, and likes mid 20th Century jazz and classical music. The laundry can be disappointing, but considering the demands made on it, it's hardly surprising. Talbot View is a very good place to be if you need care.
Reply from Rachel Wood, Head of Customer Relations at Talbot ViewThank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear your friend is enjoying the gardens, food, and the care provided by our team. We truly appreciate your comments about the music and laundry... these are helpful, and we'll look at how we can better cater to residents' individual tastes and continue improving our service. Your kind words mean a great deal to us.

Alexandra House

from Elizabeth T (Friend of Resident) published on 9 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was truly the best place for my friend Ann to have spent her last 4 years, couldn't have asked for better care. Always greeted with a friendly smile and polite attitude nothing is ever too much trouble. The place is kept extremely clean and well maintained. Ann became an Alexandra House family
member fitting in straight away, Ann had dietary issues and the chef went above and beyond trying to find foods Ann could eat. Alexandra House wouldn't be the kind, caring place it is if it wasn't for all of the people that work there, they fill it with love and compassion..I'm truly thankful that Ann had 4 wonderful years there until her passing in February..
Reply from Rachel Wood, Head of Customer Relations at Alexandra HouseThank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. It truly means a great deal to all of us.

We feel very privileged to have been part of your friend's life over those years, and we're so glad she felt at home here with us. Your recognition of our team's care, kindness, and dedication, as well as the effort our chef made to support her dietary needs will mean so much to everyone.

She will always be remembered as a valued member of our Alexandra House family, and we are deeply grateful for the trust placed in us. Thank you again for taking the time to share such a meaningful review.

The care and support were good. My mother's room was kept very clean, including an ensuite facility. Well managed - the daily activities were well organised and varied. However, we did seem to 'lose' some articles of clothing (+ incontinent pads), not coming back from the laundry.
Reply from Rachel Wood, Head of Customer Relations at WickmeadsThank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're very pleased to hear that you found the care and support to be good, and that your mother's room and ensuite were maintained to a high standard.

Dorset House is a friendly cosy feeling care home with very attentive staff.
I would like my husband to have more stimulation but he is unable to tell me what he's done so unless I question the staff I am not always getting the whole picture.
His room is very small but there are lots of different
areas to give him a change of scenery and now the weather is improving the garden is always accessible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Wickmeads. Each resident is cared for in such a way that all their needs, personal to them are understood and taken into account when helping them. Their habits, routines, likes and dislikes are known and taken care of. The carers are kind and patient.
The home is always clean and decorated for upcoming events and special dates. Residents are stimulated by lots of different activities and singers, cats, dogs, nursery school children etc which they enjoy greatly. My mother has been at Wickmead's for over three years, and her sister was a resident for five years until her death. I treasure the support and kindness all the staff have given me and my family over the last eight to nine years. Thank you and well done.

Alexandra House

from Michael C (Husband of Resident) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I was shown around Alexandra House, I was very impressed by the cleanliness, the positive attitude of the staff, the facilities and the attention to detail. My wife Dawn then spent three weeks as a resident, having respite care, and her experience proved the accuracy of my first impressions. Apart
from a few instances of me needing to check a request had been followed up, the staff set very high standards, keeping a careful eye on providing the right medication at the right time, logging all information appropriately and doing their very best to provide all the necessary care. The catering was excellent, with commendable positivity over meal times and menus according to Dawn's needs; she particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfasts! All members of staff were consistently friendly and welcoming; their positive and people-centred approach spoke of excellent management. Communication was very good. I was advised of Dawn's three minor falls in a timely fashion, and appropriate medical checks were carried out afterwards. Dawn's time in Alexandra House did her a power of good. She made real progress. We're very grateful.

I had a meeting with 2 lovely members of the team today to go through my aunties care plan and finance . Elizabeth house is such a lovely home with nice atmosphere with friendly staff and always so informative and helpful with answering my questions.
