My friend and mum in law, a former palliative care worker, spent much of her last two years in The Spinney.
During that time she received excellent care, a custom-tailored diet as she was very particular about her food (oven chips with dinner meant she ate!) and made some very good friends.
It was a great relief to her, and us, that after being hospitalised with a bout of illness she was able to return 'home' to The Spinney for her last few days.
She nearly made it a extra full year on top of her original end of life prognosis. I believe that much of that extra time was due to the quality of the care she received and the company of the friends she made.
Reply from Sarah Murphy, Home Manager at The Spinney Care HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a great deal to the whole team to hear about your mother-in-law's experience at The Spinney. We're so pleased we were able to support her in a way that felt personal and meaningful to her, and that she found comfort not only in the care provided but also in the friendships she made during her time with us. It was an absolute privilege to care for her, and we're especially glad she was able to return to what she called home in her final days. Your words are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the team.

I would like to say how surprised and happy I was to come to the spinney care home as I didn't know anything about it. The staff are wonderful, helpful and lovely. I was very reluctant when I come from hospital to the Spinney and I ]was very well looked after like at Spinney and the service was clean
and food great. Staff was very helpful with my recovery and they make me happy at Spinney. My bedroom was lovely and clean. I can't fault the service.
Reply from Sarah Murphy, Home Manager at The Spinney Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear how happy you were with your stay at The Spinney. It means a lot to the team to know their care and support made such a positive difference to your recovery. Wishing you all the very best!

My aunt broke her hip and after a two-week hospital stay, needed care home convalescence, which was provided by Coventry City Council at The Spinney Care Home. The first impressions were fantastic and have remained so throughout her six-week stay. Showing and giving professionalism, caring, kind and
clean. Should the need arise, I would definitely apply for future accommodation for my aunt, even if we have to pay. Ten out of ten.

It is the staff that make The Spinney. My dad always said how kind they were. Whenever I visited they always let me know how my dad was doing and were very supportive at his passing.

Great staff and management who made my dad feel welcome and cared for when he couldn’t be independent. Genuine staff and always happy to accommodate any requests. Very polite staff and nothing was ever too much trouble. A big thank you for caring for my dad in his time of need, it is so appreciated.
Reply from Ravi Patel, CEO at The Spinney Care HomeThe last few years have been really hard due to covid for all of us both physically and mentally.

In an emergency, I had to be taken into care. I was unable to care for myself to the point of self-neglect. In five weeks the care has been excellent to the point of getting to what is normal. This is due to the encouragement and gentle care, masses of rest and a healthy weight.
Reply from Sarah Cooke, Manager at The Spinney Care HomeWhat a lovely review, thank you ever so much from all the staff here at the Spinney Care Home.

My dad was a resident of The Spinney for over two years and was happy there and enjoyed a good relationship with a majority of the carers. He wasn't always the easiest person to get along with but he was treated with respect and information was shared with me to try and make things easier. There were
some minor issues at times but they were dealt with professionally and resolved.
Reply from Sarah Cooke, Manager at The Spinney Care HomeThank you, Jackie, for your honest and lovely review - we all wish you the very best for the future.

My mother arrived at The Spinney just four days ago from hospital and in the most challenging health environment, we have ever known. I was immediately put at ease by the manager, who responded to my first email immediately and then sent a beautiful photo of my Mum. It was so reassuring to see her happy,
clean and safe. When I delivered a suitcase of my mother’s belongings, I was met by a most professional care worker who kept to all requisite protocols at the door. I found the notice on the door of The Spinney explaining Covid restrictions reassuring too.
Since then all my questions have been answered and I am confident of the high quality of care my mother is receiving.
Reply from Sarah Cooke, Manager at The Spinney Care HomeThank you for your very kind and positive review, we really appreciate it.

The resident was clearly loved and very happy residing at the home. We visited regularly and always received a friendly welcome. In particular, the manager went to great steps to ensure the resident had the best care and quality of life despite the disability that made her life very challenging. I
was blown away by the love and care, dignity and respect shown to the resident. There was always a family atmosphere. The resident lived at the home for 7 very happy years where she thrived as much as possible which was difficult due to her degenerative illness. During the last week, she was in hospital and received 24 hour beside care from loving staff who stayed with her until she passed. We are so thankful to the manager and staff for the incredible care that was given.

What a fantastic care home, with staff who go above and beyond the call of duty. One member of staff has not just provided amazing care for my father, but her support towards myself has been outstanding. The care home is set in beautiful surroundings and is very well maintained. An absolute pleasure
to know my father is safe there.
Reply from Sarah Cooke, Manager at The Spinney Care HomeThank you very much for your thoughtful comment. We are always here to support you and your father.

My brother has been at Minster Lodge for many years – this is at least his seventh year, and it is probably longer. I was impressed with the home from early on, and particularly with the manager and staff, who have always been friendly, efficient and willing to go out of their way to help us when I
have visited. The room he now has is particularly good: he was able to buy a chair and sofa to make it even better. He seems to like the food and is usually happy with the staff, though he has occasional periods when he is unhappy with everyone. The staff are good at coping with this. I think it would be difficult to find a home as good for him.

I liked the set up of The Spinney, homely and warm. The staff were very kind, nothing was too much for them. My friend went for respite over Christmas. We felt welcome and liked the friendly atmosphere, meals, activities, especially his spiritual well being. He was ready for church every Sunday, well
dressed and smart. Thanks to the manageress and others, you are superb at what you do.
