The care for my mother was and is exceptional, staff have worked tirelessly to improve her mental and physical state to good effect. She is now back on her feet and is enjoying her time again. Her room is always clean and tidy even if the odd item that does not belong to her ends up squirrelled away
in her cupboards. But I fear that is more to do with my mother mistaking items to be hers rather than the rightful owner.
Reply from Steph Palmer, On behalf of the team at Sir Aubrey Ward HouseThank you for taking the time to leave us a review, S E. We are glad that your mother is enjoying her time again.

Chesham Leys is an excellent care home. The care given to my friend is brilliant. She always gets the best care and her best interests are always taken into account.

I visited my friend Michael after 2 years, I can't tell you the difference he has now, he is so much better, and he said he is well looked after. I met the manager who has been there for two years now and he knows Michael very well which is a nice experience as most times they don't know the residents.

I think Watersmead is such a wonderful place it doesn't feel like the typical care home. I love that most of the residents are in the day room watching tv sitting in chairs instead of their rooms alone. All the staff are such positive, happy and inviting people and it makes you feel that your family
is being well looked after, my Nan always looks very well presented and content, her room is always clean and tidy. I would recommend Watersmead to everyone.

The knowledge and experience of the staff at Maple House in Chestnut Lodge, Quedgeley is evident and very reassuring. Their willingness to support both my mother and our family at an extremely difficult time, in a very professional, friendly, caring manner has meant so much, and we feel very supported

Maple House's accommodation is modern and exceptionally clean, and residents have their own spacious en-suite rooms to relax in. Although there are two lounges, I feel that the true 'heart' of Maple House is undoubtedly the Dining Area. With its lounge chairs and patio doors opening onto a spacious courtyard, it feels much like a family kitchen-a hub where residents, visitors and staff gather, that has a warm and welcoming. supportive, and happy atmosphere that we deeply appreciate.

My mother of 98 years was looked after for 10 months. She moved care homes when a bed became available in a care home nearer to her previous permanent home and many friends. The managers and staff at Stirlings were excellent. A huge effort was put into caring and entertainment. My mother took up knitting
again! Unfortunately, the facilities do not match the care level. There are no ensuite toilets and some rooms are rather small. There is, however, a wonderful big garden which is well cared for.

My Mother sadly passed this month, she was there for 18 months and the staff were fantastic and believe she died knowing her family and staff were their.
The staff over the period got to know her as Nanny pat, and when the funeral directors collected Mum the staff were at the door to show their respect
and love for her.
She was happy at the home and helped the staff as she was a nurse herself for 38 yrs.

It was with regret that I had to put my Mum into care but Hillary made things easy and the staff are very welcoming Mum didn't really want to be there and I would think at times would have been a hand full but they all said she was a lovely person and no trouble which helped me
The 2 nurses I used
to see always kept me informed on my Mum's condition and would phone if any thing happen so big thanks to Laura and Bernie
I would recommend this home to anyone and they were also very good when my Mum M.Cox passed away at the beginning of May
All in all great place along with great staff and
