My Mum was in Southlands for what only was a short period of time. However, she settled in well and enjoyed her time. The home has a very friendly atmosphere and the staff are attentive. I am so pleased that she felt happy and safe.

A perfect residence for my mother in law , she was extremely happy there . The staff in all departments were all very personable and knew the needs and idiosyncrasies of every resident . Southlands was always a clean , safe & welcoming space , my mother in law enjoyed the varied activities on offer
, the sociability and always enthused about the variety and quality of food available . As a visitor I always felt welcome and very well looked after . We felt that her every need was met and knew she was in the very best of hands at all times which was our number one priority when finding a suitable place for her .

I've had the pleasure of working at Southlands Care Home alongside Cedric, my therapy dog and I can't praise the team enough. The staff are incredibly caring, supportive and dedicated to the residents, always going above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment.


The activities on offer

are excellent and there's always something thoughtful and engaging taking place to keep residents involved and stimulated. Cedric is always so warmly welcomed too!
A genuinely wonderful care home with a fantastic team at its heart
Reply from Helene Ballinger, REM at Southlands Care HomeDear Nada
Thank you for taking the time to write a review regarding your experiences at Bupa Southlands - we adore seeing Cedric each week he makes such a different to the lives of our residents - they love to give him a treat and a pat - he is incredibly well behaved, we also enjoy it when you bring in Bob the bearded dragon in as well. Looking forward to seeing you both on Thursday.

I would like to thank everyone at Southlands for the excellent and compassionate care they provided to my aunt since January, especially nurse Hannah and Savina, but also all the other nurses, care staff and supporting staff who helped keep her safe and as happy as possible during her last few months.
My sister and I were very happy with our choice of Southlands, with its pleasant environment, good service and person centred care; it's a well organised home and I would recommend their services to anyone.

My father-in-law moved into Southlands at the start of March 2026 and I have been so impressed with the care and attention he has received since he started living there.
It is such a huge transition for anyone to make but the whole of the Southlands team have really helped make this as smooth an experience
as possible. Nothing has been too much trouble and there is such a welcoming feel about the place - which extends to all the family whenever we visit.
After just a few weeks and with the encouragement of the team he is starting to meet and chat to other residents over lunch and tea and he is definitely enjoying the restaurant menu.
Whilst a home is definitely all about the atmosphere that the care team create, it is an added bonus the social spaces, bedrooms and garden are also all really lovely.
It was such a big decision we had to make choosing a home for him whilst he was in hospital and we are so pleased we chose Southlands.
Reply from Helene Ballinger, REM at Southlands Care HomeDear Cheryl
Thank you so much for your kind review - we are delighted that your Father in Law has settled in so well to Southlands - it is a pleasure to see him walking around the gardens each day, and enjoying social time with his new friends, we very much appreciate your kind review and we are always there should you need any further assistance.

My sister has been a resident in Southlands for nearly two years,she has her ups and downs but the staff know her very well and support her in all her daily needs.l visit two to three times a week the staff keep me updated with anything I may need to know. The staff are always friendly and helpful even
when busy and take time to listen if I have any worries. There are various daily activities and themed evenings that the residents are all invited and encouraged to join in.
I cannot praise all the staff at Southlands for their kind attention and empathy.

Mum moved in to Southlands this summer for a holiday and she stayed! It's now Christmas and a great time for reflection!
To begin with I was worried mum wouldn't settle, oh how wrong I was, in this short time mum has made friends and is now looking to make more. She has become more independent, she
is enjoying the meals. She looks forward to the activities which are always changing they are like a new experience each day, she has become interested in what's going on around her for the first time in years! Now when I go visit mum she's pleased to see me and is chatty and interested in the family where as before she was more interested in what jobs I had done for her and what shopping she needed, life with mum had become one clircle of chores and worries! I now don't need to worry about phone calls of panic from mum or help I'm on the floor and can't get up!
Now I go and ha a cuppa and a chat with her and often some of her new friends she has made.

We selected Southlands as a care home for my mother as the whole team really stood out as being professional, friendly, considerate and caring whilst also providing great rooms and facilities and a range of interesting activities.

The team have been excellent in helping her to transition into a
new environment, encouraging participation in a range of activities and facilitating her integration whilst enabling her to retain her autonomy.

They have kept me regularly updated and are proactive and responsive on all things from medical issues to practical ones including finance and care provision, whilst ensuring her room is very comfortable and homely.

I am so very pleased we selected Southlands as I know she is very well looked after by wonderful people in a safe and caring environment.
Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Southlands Care HomeThank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your mother in our care. It is always nice to hear words like "Professional" and "Friendly" being used to describe our care. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

Southlands has been a great choice. I had to find a care home at short notice in January for my dad, who is 89 and has advanced Parkinson's disease. I have had detailed experience of 3 other care homes so I have some idea what is important and what good looks like.
What tipped the balance in favour
of Southlands was learning that this year they are going for an 'Outstanding' rating from the internal BUPA inspectors. The home manager, told me that they are more stringent than the CQC inspectors.
I have been impressed and greatly relieved by how well the nursing and care staff have looked after Dad. They regularly tell me how much they love having him. They have managed his Parkinson's with quiet professionalism, keeping him as safe and active as possible, mentally and physically.
For me Southlands is the benchmark. I believe you will be hard pressed to find somewhere more competent and better value for money.
Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Southlands Care HomeThank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your Dad in our care. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We hope to continue providing your Dad with the best possible care at Southlands Care Home.

I cannot give an opinion regarding value for money because I have no knowledge of other care homes. This was my first experience and overall a good one! I question the degree of cleanliness because I had to ask for some disposable pants to be removed after 3 days from the container in the wet room.
My bed was not made until late in the day - I came back from lunch to find it still unmade. Because I was not well on some days, I found it disagreeable to look at an unmade bed. Eventually I made it myself until an assistant (man) took pity on me and did it for me. One day (first week) I was not given any lunch - second week 2 days without lunch or afternoon tea, following which I searched for staff to make sure I had lunch.
Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Southlands Care HomeWe appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents.

Southlands Care Home is an oasis of comfort and offers a pleasant and spacious environment to its residents and their visitors. It is tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished giving residents a choice of joining in the fun in the ballroom, meeting their visitors in either of two smaller sitting
rooms or, weather permitting, taking a walk in the well-tended garden. The staff are second to none. Patient, cheerful and empathetic, they deliver whatever is needed with expertise and above all kindness and respect.
The atmosphere is one of warmth and inclusion. The residents are at ease and free to participate or not in the many and varied activities on offer, from tai chi to quizzes, singalongs to Zumba, horseracing, to burns night. These are just a few of the numerous pass times on offer every day of the week to keep our brains alert and bodies moving.
There is always something to celebrate at Southlands.
Any excuse to bring out the bunting. On entering the dining room, with fresh flowers on every table, you would be forgiven for thinking that you were having a well-earned holiday in a five star hotel.

It is particularly important for me to have confidence in the home looking after my father as I live in Australia.
Southlands Care Home provides that confidence.
The staff are particularly good and notify me by email of any changes in my 93-year-old father's condition/situation.

On 11th December 2024 I had the pleasure of attending a Christmas lunch hosted for the residents, their family and friends at Southlands Care Home. I attended as a friend of one of the residents, and it appeared that all present had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
A happy and warm atmosphere prevailed,
and we were treated with the utmost respect by both staff and management as they ensured that all present at the lunch had a thoroughly enjoyable experience, as indeed we did.
The meal was very good and the service we received was courteous and professionally delivered, The musical activity provided after the meal was delightful. All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience and I regard myself as fortunate to have been able to attend. Thank you.

On entering Southlands Care Home there is always a welcoming atmosphere, especially from the second in command and the three part-time receptionists. Their professional approach makes for a relaxing experience.
If we have any worries we tell them and they are normally sorted.
The rooms are adequate
and well kept through a team of excellent cleaners, the laundry is also well laundered.
Meals are varied and well presented, coffee time is enjoyable and the main barrister is always cheerful.
The staff are conscientious.

Having not had any previous dealing with care home, I would say that the first impressions are quite good. The staff are very attentive and show a keen and caring attitude. Management are always on the ball in making sure everything is done to a high standard and make sure everyone is their number one

Please don't be upset about the 'good' columns - the experience was fine and pretty well did what we required and what it said on the tin. The difference between good and excellent were very small details indeed. The most striking thing of all was the conscientiousness and patience of all the staff
to everyone there, however severe their disabilities. All were addressed with dignity and by name. The medical staff were totally on the ball with my own needs. There is bound to be an element of institutionalism with so many mouths to feed all at once. A great advert for Bupa generally.
