Initially by chance and then through familiarity I have become a weekly visitor at Greenhill - spending an hour or two chatting to residents. I have got to know a half dozen or so quite well over time and now regards them as friends. I like them, we have a bit of fun as we relive the past. I have always
been felt welcome by management and staff and I am constantly impressed by the effort made to ensure the well being, comfort and happiness of residents. All are treated with respect, care, compassion and kindness. A real effort in taken to stimulate and enrich lives through a range of activities, offered by enthusiastic positive staff - with a genuine attempt to include as many as possible in this.

My dad has been a resident at Greenhill for over 2 years now. The care he has recieved has been outstanding in all areas. The staff and management go above and beyond to make sure that every resident's need are taken into consideration, from personal care to activities. We as a family couldn't ask for
better care for our dad, this have given us as a family peace of mind - as he is so well looked aftered.

Having looked at a number of care homes for my Dad, Cartref was the only one my mother and I felt happy applying to. Walking into this this comfortable, homely, friendly and genuinely welcoming space was a delight and we both gave a huge sigh of relief immediately.
Thoughtfully set out and wonderfully
managed, the sense of 'home' is tangible and the 'care '- from everyone- is both apparent & hugely appreciated. The staff (all of them) are lovely, the management team knowledgable and utterly aware of all possible needs & preferences, and the activities on offer for the residents are varied, fun, enriching and inclusive at all times.
My Dad was welcomed with genuine care & warmth and has settled better than we would ever have imagined, giving US the knowledge and reassurance that we have made the best possible choice possible and that he will get everything he needs for a safe, comfortable & enriched existance.
Thank you so much Leanne & the entire Cartref team - Diolch. O'r galon

Dad had to go for respite as mum had an accident and was in hospital for a long time.
Dad has now been at Elizabeth House for just over a year. I am so pleased that he is here as the care, support and kindness all the staff have given him is lovely to see and you can tell he is happy and safe.
The
staff keep us well informed of dads health and they are always on hand and take time to talk to you about his care/health.
To be honest I dont know what we would have done without them, the staff are all amazing.
I would like to thank you all so much for looking after my dad.

My mother was bed bound, not eating well, unresponsive and I thought she had given up when she was in hospital. The move to Burley's Wood has been truly transformative! She's eating better, has a positive outlook, is not suffering some of the side effects of the drugs she was taking and is more like
my old mum.
In all honesty, my mum is not overly flattering about the food - but a very minor issue considering how well she is doing.
The staff are friendly, respectful, professional, very courteous and always content to chat. I am very grateful for all they do. The Manager is always willing to chat and is honest and sympathetic when asked for updates, which is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Reply from Erika Szalacsi, Home Manager at Burleys WoodThank you so much for your heartfelt feedback. We're truly delighted to hear how positively your mother's wellbeing has improved since joining us at Burley's Wood.
