Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father in law was in Willow Green for the last few weeks of his life and I can't express how happy we were with his care. The staff were patient, kind, gentle and kept his spirits up when he was down. They were also amazing with our whole family, they were supportive and kind and were especially
caring with my mother in law. I can't thank the staff enough for all they did and for making his last few weeks comfortable and stress free. Anyone who requires care would be lucky to be a resident in Willow Green.

We cannot thank this home enough for the care given to my dad in his final weeks. He was treated with dignity, kindness and genuine respect every single day.
The team were professional, compassionate and incredibly well organised. Communication with our family was always clear and sensitive, which brought
great reassurance during a very difficult time.
It is clear this is a well-led service with strong values and a culture of truly person-centred care. We will always be grateful for the comfort and peace they gave our dad and our family.

We have been very happy with the care Mum has received while in Willow Green. All the staff have been much more proactive in recognising and resolving her needs and have always liaised with myself and my brother, keeping us updated with any issues or changes. Mum has been very settled while in Willow
Green which is very reassuring to us given her dementia.

Dad arrived facing the end of his terminal illness. The staff were warm, welcoming and efficient. We were made to feel welcome at any time for as long as we liked. We camped out for the next 4 days. The tenderness and care shown to Dad was moving. We were given enough warning to get there at the end
to say goodbye. The staff gave us space and were gentle and informative about the next steps. The care was exemplary at every level. That has helped us tremendously at a difficult time. We will never forget what the staff at Willow Green did for us.

I can't speak highly enough of the outstanding care my mother and father have received at Willow Green. From the moment they became residents, the staff has shown incredible compassion and attentiveness, consistently ensuring their comfort and well-being. They truly go above and beyond, always taking
time to understand and accommodate my parents' individual needs with warmth and kindness. It's evident that the team genuinely cares about each resident. They are not only professional and skilled but also have a gentle and empathetic approach, which has made a world of difference for my mum and dad. I have peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Thank you to everyone at Willow Green for making this transition as smooth and supportive as possible.

My dad has lived at Willow Green for 6 months following a severe stroke. Current care staff including agency staff support Dad's daily needs very well and carry out recommendations by therapy professionals as often as they can. They are kind, and competent and always make time for Dad. The qualified
nursing staff work really hard both with support and respond to Dad's needs as required. The managers quickly resolve any issues that need attention. Dad mostly enjoys the meals on offer and the chefs are approachable regarding modifications. Laundry is generally returned quickly and staff are approachable and friendly. The home is clean, pleasant and generally well-maintained.

My auntie whom I have been carer for in recent years was brought to Willow Green for respite care and assessment. She has really come out of herself since being there and is so happy she doesn't want to leave! She has so much fun with the care staff and cleaning staff, lots of banter and support in
all the right ways. She used to have problems around meals but now eats the food regularly and with much enjoyment. She loves the choices and quality of the meals.
They have gone above and beyond to accommodate her specific needs including a carefully risk-assessed allowance for her timid, ageing little dog to be with her. They are warm, encouraging and respectful and we're delighted with the care she is receiving. Thank you, to the manager and all the staff for being so amazing!
Reply from Cassie Schofield, Head Office Admin at Willow GreenThank you for your kind review, we are so pleased your auntie is happy at Willow Green and enjoys the fun, banter and support from the team.

Horrific from start to finish. Uncle admitted with his notes locked away which no one could access leading to him spending the night laid flat on his back with aspiration pneumonia.
Drinks left constantly out of his reach.
No activities I am aware of for him.
Lost a lot of weight, we had to bring
in extra food because he lost so much weight from the tiny weeny portions he was served. A couple of the carers were lovely but understaffed massively.
Clothes constantly lost despite being labelled. Sadly he passed away just a week after getting out of there.
Reply from Keith Milton, CEO at Willow GreenWe are saddened to receive this review on several levels. We always do our best to engage with family members and build lasting relationships with them as we consider it a privilege to care for their loved ones. However, despite our best efforts the family continually failed to reciprocate and, worryingly, continued to provide personal care themselves that was unsafe and inappropriate despite our best efforts to support them. Ultimately, we were so concerned that we had no choice but to submit a safeguarding about the family. Furthermore, the comments in this review are entirely inaccurate, misleading and do not reflect the facts or the quality of care provided. We understand that the family are not happy and feel the need to express this but a vexatious negative review is not the best way.

After a lengthy and difficult period of illness, my mum was admitted to Willow Green on our choice. After a very informative and reassuring discussion with the manager and his team, we were assured that they could meet my mum's needs. Over the weeks whilst she was there the team worked tirelessly and
effortlessly to make my mum as comfortable and supported as they could. On our visits the staff were always welcoming and very pleasant, accommodating our requests and needs with no problem. My mam passed away whilst in their care and the team was excellent in ensuring her passing was comfortable, dignified and painless. The nursing team were exceptional in reacting to the situation and keeping the family informed and reassured. It is very difficult to choose the right provision for your loved one and for us, this was absolutely the correct place to meet my mum's needs. I would highly recommend the Willow Green Care Home on what we experienced whilst my mum was in their care. Thank you.
Reply from Cassie Schofield, Head Office Admin at Willow GreenThank you so much for your kind review; we're really pleased that you were happy with the care we provided and that the team were always welcoming, it was a privilege to care for your mum.

Our son was lovingly cared for from March 2023 until he died in February 2024. Willow Green's staff went from strength to strength in the standard of care he received during this time. In partnership with the Community Matron, Palliative care consultant and GPs the care became exemplary. Everyone from
the managers and admin staff, nurses, personal carers, cleaners, laundry and kitchen staff played a part in making his life as cheerful as it could be. My husband and I are truly thankful to everyone at Willow Green.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff of Willow Green Care Home Darlington for the loving and caring way they looked after my beloved husband. They showed the utmost dignity and respect towards him whilst also being so kind and caring. They embraced him and me into their family
and nothing was too much trouble for them. I really felt as though we were part of the family and I especially was given a lot of loving and caring support. My husband passed on the 17th of January 2023 at Willow Green and I felt so fortunate that fate had brought us to this wonderful home. My family and I can't thank the staff enough for the caring, dignified and professional way they looked after him and helping and supporting us through this sad time.

My dad has been a resident at Willow Green Care Home for a very short period of time. During his stay, the care he received has been excellent.
From the day I went to view the home and spoke to the manager, to today when my dad sadly passed away peacefully, the care has been five-star.
The staff
have been so friendly and helpful from day one, always having time for a chat. I know my dad was in the best possible place.
Thank you so much to everyone involved in my dad's care. I will be forever grateful.

The lovely staff showed great care and compassion to my beloved Dad in what turned out to be his final hours for palliative care, following a major stroke.
The dignity and privacy we were given as a family to spend those precious moments together helped enormously at a difficult and emotional time.
They
guided us through every step, allowing us the time and space afterwards to process our loss, bringing drinks and biscuits to the living room so we could just 'be'.
