Review of
The Boynes Care Centre
from B C (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 September 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum went to the Boynes after being discharged from hospital for end of life care. She had been very ill and was extremely frail; she had a life expectancy of only a couple of weeks. Due to the wonderful care given to her, Mums stay was of months duration. She was treated with kindness and consideration

and her all her needs and medical requirements were monitored and administered as necessary. The staff were extremely supportive of Mum and the family, and there was nothing that was too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Boynes Care Centre to anyone.

Review of
Mill House
from Anthony C (Respite Resident) published on 1 September 2025

Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Although only a week's stay for respite, my experience from the moment of arrival was excellent. I received a warm welcome from the management and staff who were fully briefed about my requirements. All staff went out of their way to help me and the whole experience was caring, efficient and enjoyable.

The environment and atmosphere throughout was happy, and the food was excellent with healthy variety and interest. I also enjoyed some other activities included in my stay and arrangements for seeing visitors were excellent. Altogether a very pleasant time.

Review of
Hamilton Nursing Home
from Janet G (Sister of Resident) published on 29 August 2025

Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

When my brother was admitted, I was so upset that we had to put him in care, but the management & staff were very supportive. My brother needs medical nursing and not dementia, so a very difficult care package is required. So far, I have found the staff honest & helpful at all times.

Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, On behalf of the team at Hamilton Nursing Home

Thank you for your thoughtful review of Hamilton Nursing Home. We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision to place a loved one in care, and it means a great deal to know that the team has been able to offer support and reassurance at such a challenging time. Your kind words about the honesty and helpfulness of the staff are truly appreciated, and we are pleased your brother is receiving the specialised nursing care he needs.

Overall Experience

When I visit my brother, I am always greeted by friendly and caring staff. He is very well looked after, as are all the residents from what I can tell. His room and the communal spaces are well-maintained and clean. My brother has also been taken out on activities, which is lovely and adds to the quality

of care he is receiving. It is reassuring to know he is in a safe environment.

Review of
Thames View
from Becca M (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2025

Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has now been at Thames View care home for the past year and in that time she has settled in well and is enjoying the home. The setting, in the banks of the river, and the gardens are lovely and give my mother a lot of pleasure. I have always found the staff to be polite and friendly and they

offer a very high standard of care which is wonderful. Whilst she would prefer to still be living independently she understand that this is no longer possible and she is very happy at Thames View.

Review of
Denham Manor
from A R (Son of Resident) published on 28 August 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Denham Manor provided outstanding nursing care and support for my mother from March to July 2025. When she first arrived it was at short notice and she had a lovely dual aspect room.
The care she received was at all times personalised, attentive and friendly.
What is particularly noticeable is the

friendly atmosphere in the home and how all the team there go out of their way to maintain this aspect of the home environment.
The home itself is a lovely old house, well maintained and has a beautiful garden which my mother was able to enjoy in the lovely summer weather.
Whilst my mother didn't feel inclined to participate in too many activities she particularly enjoyed the VE day event put on by the home and whenever the school children visited.
A big thank you to all the team at the home for all their support and care right up to the end.

Huntercombe Hall Care Home
from Len G (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 27 August 2025

Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Lovely room, very comfortable with a great view of countryside. Carers very friendly and good almost all the time. Dining with other residents a bit regimented for my liking, but very happy to eat in the conservatory or in my room. Most activities not to my taste, but I would like to go out on trips

when available.
Food - 33% good, 33% ok, and 33% not very good, but staff & cook are trying to improve this for me.

Reply from Nicole Howarth, on behalf of the team at Huntercombe Hall Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you're receiving such great care at Huntercombe and enjoying your room and the lovely countryside views.

Review of
Holmwood Care Centre
from Amy D (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 August 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A particular lady has been a fantastic asset to Holmwood and I honestly think she should stay managing the home. She has worked hard to turn the home around and add lots of positive things making it a better experience for both residents and families who visit. Since she has been at the home she has

got new cups, new menus, employed more staff (which the home needed) supported myself and reassured me that my mother is okay and she ensures her residents are well looked after by being present on the floor so she can see what is happening within the home. Yesterday she was out of her office encouraging residents with their food and making them extra cups of teas. For me this is going above and beyond in your already existing job role in managing a home.Thank you to this lady for all that you have done. It's much appreciated.

Reply from Nicole Howarth, on behalf of the team at Holmwood Care Centre

Thank you for your positive review. We're so pleased to hear that our colleague's dedication has made such a positive difference to both your experience and your mother's care at Holmwood.
