Review of Torrwood Care Centre from Melvyns M (Husband of Resident) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife June has been resident in Torrwood with Alzheimers for the last 2 1/2 years. She has been extremely well looked after by caring staff I would (and have) recommend Torrwood to anyone looking for a care home.

Reply from Beverley Davies, Home Manager at Torrwood Care Centre

Thank you for your kind words, which will be passed onto the staff. Caring is team work and it is good for everyone if families are able to be part of that team.

My mother lives on Oak floor. She has lived at Torrwood for over 5 years. Her care is exellent and I do not worry about her at all as I know the staff are kind and generous to her. I am kept fully informed about all aspects of her care. I am able to ask questions and have recieved satisfactory answers at all times. I would wholly recommend this care home. Thank you Torrwood.

Overall Experience

Always found Torrwood to be a caring and loving home. My wife was a resident here until she passed away earlier this year. Now come back to visit residents I got to knew - always enjoy my visits as everyone is so warm and friendly, and there's always a cup of tea.

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from G W (Husband of Resident) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The care home has a relaxed and homely atmosphere and staff always seem to have time to talk to relatives. They always treat residents with kindness and compassion and seem genuinely to care about their welfare. Medical problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently with relatives kept informed. Food is excellent and plentiful. Rooms are pleasantly appointed and safety measures all in place. A first class well run home.

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from Cathy M (Wife of Resident) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My husband has recently passed away after living in Torrwood since October 2024. The care he received particularly at the last week of his life was very good.
However I feel a lack of activities and stimulation contributed to his deterioration! The music also was reduced to one day and by this time of sitting doing nothing attributed to his decline.

On visiting regularly it was clearly evident that there were staff shortages and the care standards had dropped. Also outings and even garden activities didn't happen.

I wouldn't recommend this carehome because of the lack of stimulation and the shortage of specialist nursing type chairs for end of life was evident with residents spending all day in bed! I purchased a chair for my husband for the last few weeks of his life otherwise he would have been in bed for the majority of the time he had left!
Also night checks are 2 hourly which is concerning when someone is at the end of life. I stayed with my husband all night so he would not be left on his own to die! Some residents do not have family so care staff should be available but with lack of staff this is not happening.

I have been a support leader before I retired and can say I gave 100% care to ensure residents had the care they deserved.

Reply from Beverley Davies, Home Manager at Torrwood Care Centre

Thank you for your review. I am delighted that you found the care your husband received, particularly at the last week of his life, was very good. We have had difficulties in recruiting to the Activities position and every effort has been made to resolve this, and we are making some progress....

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from Meryl G (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother, who is 97 and has dementia, was moved to Torrwood Care in April 2025. I have nothing but praise for this lovely place. The staff are amazing and the manager is a credit to the place, always so helpful and friendly. Mum has significantly improved since being there, her room is lovely, and her care is exceptional. I cannot thank them enough.

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from William P (Friend of Resident) published on 30 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Following the sad death of a good friend, I feel it important to write and express my gratitude to all of the staff at Torrwood for the professional, kind, and sympathetic way in which he was cared for during his time as a resident in this excellent home. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, warm, and comfortable and I know he was very content to be living there.

Thank you to all of the staff for your professionalism, kindness, and hard work and for providing such an essential service to those who need your help so much.

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from Jackie I (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The home was infected by Norovirus. Despite the extra needs of all the residents in the section where my mother lives, no one succumbed to the disease, though my Mum, was considered to be on end-of-life care. I was called in on 5th December with her grandchildren. She was placed on a ripple mattress on 6th December because she was not changing position at all, lying in bed and not stirring much. Incontinent. I could get her to drink sporadically using a straw but no food.
While in bed the care staff were turning her every 4 hours. This was a huge commitment amongst caring for the other residents and so much better for Mum than her going to the hospital.
On the 11th of December, she had some custard. By the 15th she was eating small amounts of soft food. And making more sense. On 18th December she had some roast lamb and vegetables.

Thanks to the care from all the staff, organised by the senior carers, my Mum is alive and even walking a little!

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from Julie K (Next of Kin) published on 28 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall there is excellent care provided, can't fault any of the team.
Rooms could be updated; painting, carpets, windows have been broken for some time, but I believe it's being sorted.

A few extra staff might help at busy times.

Overall Experience

A very caring environment with residents at the centre of everything and staff working hard to help make each day the residents' best possible. There is a limit to the quality of life that Mum can achieve because of her dementia but within those limits, she is as happy as she could be.

Review of Torrwood Care Centre from S H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our experience for Mum has been poor so far. We feel Mum is often treated as if she has dementia. The bells seem to ring for a long time before being answered. Some of Mum's items have lost, including her false teeth. Consistency of staff, lots of agency and overall poor management of the home has been our impression.

Reply from Beverley Davies, Home Manager at Torrwood Care Centre

Thank you for your feedback. I am disappointed to read that your experience of Torrwood has not been a good one. I will be contacting you as I would like to investigate this further.
