Care Homes Owned by MHA Retirement Living in South Yorkshire

Southcroft is a wonderful place for my 96-year-old mum. Her need for independence is both respected and encouraged, while discreet careful support is provided as needed. The staff are kind and friendly and mum is starting (she's been there for 3 months) to feel part of a family living in Southcroft.

A recent illness was dealt with swiftly and effectively and communication with me was just as it should be.

Southcroft has various activities which mum can join as she wishes. The flats are very clean and in comparison to others I've seen, spacious. They are well fitted out and provide the level of privacy and independence needed. The building itself has been described by friends as like a big hotel. Its beautifully decorated, clean and importantly doesn't have that 'care home' smell! :-)

Mum tells me the bistro food is good.

All in all the decision to move mum into Southcroft was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Highly recommended.

There are lots of other regular activities such as Pie and Pea nights, Art Group and discussions with the Chaplain. In addition, ad hoc events are arranged at short notice, such as ice cream and summer drinks outside in the grounds, when it is hot. The staff are very caring and it is great for my mother and myself to know that there is a member of staff present at all times if she is not well or there is some sort of problem.

It's a good day out, people make me feel welcome. I've made friends and my carer is a very good carer and all staff are friendly and make me feel welcome.

Flat - The rooms are quite small, but they have a lot of light.

I have lived here for just over a year and I like it. My family live over the road and I can see their house through my window. This is a lovely place, everything about it is just right but I would rather be at home. The food is very good, I'm not a big eater but what I do have is lovely. I can have a cup of tea whenever I want one and that's the best. The staff are like my children and I like to be called Mother. My room is lovely and I like to nap there after my meals. Lovely people here and friends.

I am happy with the way my sister is looked after, she is always clean and tidy and they do all they can for her to keep her happy.
