to all and best of wishes.

family. I really enjoy my visits and my uncle loves it and has settled really well.

an Social Services review with him recently and his responses showed he is happy with the standard of care. He is well fed and enjoys the food. It has taken a long time (he is not really a mixer) but he seems to have made a friend.

wander around the home all day if she wishes never being told or pressured to sit down. She is now eating much better than she was at home and is happy in her own world.
The food is good with plenty of choice for the residents and they are given this choice which is very important. There are snacks available at all times in the dining room for the residents to access all day. As she wanders so much I was happy to see a pressure mat at the side of her bed that will alert staff if she gets out of bed or falls in the night. The staff have always been polite and respectful whilst caring for the residents and use the appropriate equipment when necessary.

I would like more advice from staff. I feel she may need a keyworker, but am not sure whether she merits one as she is presently quiet mobile and independent.

and my mum has told me many times that she likes it. The setting is beautiful and there are organised activities. My mum really loves getting her hair done every week in the salon and she loves being able to have a bubble bath.
It’s never an easy thing to move a parent into a care home, but the staff have guided us through the transition and made things as smooth as possible. I would recommend Stoneswood, and I’m grateful to all the staff.

place over the last few months. Mum particularly enjoys the outings both locally and farther afield. The staff are very welcoming and caring with all residents. They have looked after Mum and encouraged her to maintain some independence. Stoneswood is in beautiful grounds that are well maintained and easily accessible for Mum to walk with relatives. The use of the lodge as a coffee stop whilst out walking is perfect. I really enjoy my visits with Mum as she is happy and content. I feel we have quality time together without any worry.

to be a lot of staff turnover, so it’s difficult to get to know who does what. But most of the regular careers are lovely and very friendly. I am really hoping the new manager stays and is a success.

would be managed. However, it has been lovely to see how my mum has been encouraged to take part in the many activities which the Stoneswood staff have planned. This month I accompanied Mum on an evening coach trip to Blackpool. Everything ran so well due to the time and effort put in by the staff. I never thought I’d see Mum sitting in a café eating fish and chips before being driven through the illuminations! I am fortunate that I have total trust in the staff and how they care for Mum. Nothing is too much trouble for them when I call in to see her or when I ring daily to ask how she has been presenting. I am happy and confident that Stoneswood are able to continue caring for Mum.

the move in easy and low stress. We are even allowed to bring her favourite four legged friends to visit! I would recommend Stoneswood to anyone needing care for an elderly relative. We wish we’d moved her in earlier.

manages the kitchen with skill and is attentive to the dietary needs of the residents, talking to residents daily to be able to tailor their needs.

one stood out above the rest from our first visit. Stoneswood felt so welcoming and in a different league than the others we visited. That was some four years ago.
Since then, we have been proved right with our decision. Stoneswood and its staff have become a second family to my wife and our family. The building, rooms and public areas are excellent. It is the staff that makes Stoneswood special. They have treated her with dignity and kindness, always going the extra mile. Management takes an active hands-on approach leading from the front. During the difficult times of Covid, we felt reassured our loved one was safe and cared for.
I cannot recommend Stoneswood highly enough.

time within a Covid safe environment that the staff had put in place to ensure no other residents were at risk. After so long not being able to do this, it made all the difference in the world to my wife and her family.

we are all part of one big family.

us that they were ok. The visiting pod was a step forward, and then the nicer weather allowed visits to the lovely grounds. Currently, there is a very comfortable and spacious visiting room which is a real asset. The staff are really accommodating, helping us organise small family celebrations for special occasions (all under Covid guidelines of course). As I have never been to the home, I cannot comment on the accommodation and other facilities. However, there is a warm, friendly atmosphere, and my sister and I, along with our parents, feel very much part of the Stoneswood family.

her admission, her care has been first class. She has improved immeasurably since her stay in hospital prior to admission.
Stoneswood provides a first-class, five-star caring environment.
