Mam has been in Riverwell Beck dementia care four years now and has been very happy there. She loves all the staff and has always been well looked after by everyone. Just recently she became unwell and had to go into hospital this had a bad effect on her and she wasn't very good, within a few days
of being back at the Home the caring and wonderful staff had got her back to eating and drinking again, walking about again and looking more like her usual self. Thankyou to all of the lovely caring staff they are all amazing and appreciated so much.
Reply from Wendy Carruthers, Home Manager at Riverwell Beck Care HomeThank you very much we are pleased mum is on the mend and I will pass on your appreciation to our staff.

My mam has been at sovereign Lodge since October 2024 the staff are amazing. The staff are caring, warm, friendly and compassionate. They take the time to sit and talk with mam. Our family is very happy with the care and support Mam receives. We are always welcomed into the building warmly by any member
of staff that is around. The staff always have a moment to discuss any question we have about mam's care and any worries we may about mams health. I feel the staff know mam very well and are able to adjust to her moods. There are activities every day ranging from arts and crafts to exercise classes and visiting entertainment. Mam rarely gets involved but is asked daily if she wants to join in.
The staff work extremely hard and I sometimes feel that there should be more staff working to cope with the amount of residents and the individual care each person needs.
Reply from Teresa Stephenson, Home Manager at Sovereign LodgeThank you for your lovely review. We really appreciate the kind and positive feedback.

My mother has been a resident here for 14 months. During this time I have felt that the care she has received has been exemplary. Any concerns that I have had have been dealt with promptly, with care and compassion. I would like to commend the staff here for the care they provide.

My mum seems very happy with the care she's getting. I have no concerns about the safety of my mum. The staff are very friendly, efficient and organised. My mum has her favourite carers and keeps mentioning them by name. It's important to me she gets the right care, as she has no family apart from myself
(her only son). I feel the staff are easy to approach and talk to and we are both respected. The only negative, she doesn't like or eat all the food she gets.
Reply from Teresa Stephenson, Home Manager at Sovereign LodgeThank you for your kind review. I will be sure to share this with the team.

It is comforting to know my aunt is settled, getting the love/attention she needs, privacy/dignity is respected. Staff treat my aunt as an individual and give her time to express her wishes which is important. Good interaction with staff and therapy assistants. Food is of good quality, and choice is
given, which is important.

Outstanding in every way! I know my family member is being cared for and loved when we cannot be with her. Staff are amazing, food is fantastic, the home itself is beautiful with a bar and cafe area, always immaculate. My family member always looks happy, always lovely and clean, hair done, and well
dressed. The management and staff are all hands-on and make a fantastic team. I cannot thank them enough for the love and care xx

My mother came to The Old Prebendal House for respite care, and had great care and attention there for six weeks. The staff were all kind and patient and helped her through some difficult challenges. Her room was spacious and homely, and the facilities are in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Visitors
loved coming to see her there! We felt very grateful and the nurses, carers and management for helping her in her recovery. A warm friendly haven.
Reply from Val Baggott, Director of Care at The Old Prebendal HouseThank you so much for your feedback. It was our pleasure to be entrusted with your mothers care and heart warming to see so many visitors proving what a special lady she is. Sending our best wishes to you all

This is a very special home. The staff care for the residents with compassion. They are good communicators and the manager deals with any concerns sensitively and quickly. The reception and catering staff are welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent. The activity coordinator works well with
the residents, treating them as individuals, taking a keen interest in their life stories. I would recommend this home to anyone.
Reply from Kirsty Jackson, Manager at St Luke's Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind words, this will be shared with the whole team. Our residents are very special to us and we strive to ensure they are loved and cared for. Thank you again and hope to see you soon, as you know you are welcome anytime.

I was booked into the nursing home for a few days after a surgical operation, assuming I would need help with daily washing etc before going home. The whole experience was restful and helpful. The staff always polite, helpful, cheerful, night and day.
Reply from Val Baggott, Director of Care at The Old Prebendal HouseThank you so much for your feedback, we were pleased to be able to support you in your recovery and wish you well for the future. We hope to see you soon for coffee and cake!

My wife Carol has been in your care since December last year and I am very pleased to see she is settling in which is nine weeks now. She has Alzheimer's but your staff are so supportive and caring so much thanks to all of your wonderful staff. I feel much more comfortable knowing that she is being
cared for very well. Thanks again to you all. Stuart.

My mum has been a resident at Kingston Court for over a year now, and I can honestly say the care she receives has been life-changing. When she first arrived, we had been told she only had weeks to live. Thanks to the incredible dedication of the team, she settled quickly and has continued to respond
so well to the care and support around her.
Every member of staff - from the nurses and carers to the cleaners, reception team, maintenance, activities staff, and the manager, Kim - shows genuine commitment to providing the highest standard of care. Their warmth, professionalism, and consistency shine through every day.
I visit my mum as often as I can, but on the days I'm unable to be there, I have complete peace of mind knowing she is safe, cared for, and surrounded by people who truly look after her wellbeing. That reassurance is priceless.
I am deeply grateful to everyone at Kingston Court. They have made such a meaningful difference to my mum's quality of life, and to mine.
