but professional approach to care and mum also felt immediately welcome. Since arriving in September 2025, mum has made new friends, joined book group, been out on numerous visits to places of interest, enjoyed many performances and activities organised by the enthusiastic events team and is rarely at a loss for something to do. Savernake View defies all the stereotypes of a care home; the place is often buzzing with chat between residents and staff and all the staff are warm and positive. Communication with us as a family is excellent; we can rely on the care team to get in touch. Mum is no longer lonely and is enjoying life to the full in a safe place.

to be very happy indeed. The condition of the furnishing and premises overall I can only describe as excellent. I then went onto To meet with my mother who gave me a beaming smile, something I had not been expecting. Her room was clean tidy and looked as if it had been freshly decorated and the furnishings all appeared as if they were new.
With the available activities and on-site facilities, I have high hopes.

and joke with him. All are extremely kind.

in a very understanding way, and made me feel very positive that my mum is being cared for completely kindly, thoroughly and with great caring. She's happy, which is great to see, and her smile and words say it all (how are you?) 'I'm Fine!'

is needed. The entrance to the home is very welcoming and there's always tea, coffee and cakes to be had. The care standard is very good and are well looked after. I would have no problem booking myself in when the time comes.

moving Mum in went very smoothly, and we were all made to feel very welcome from day one. Six months on, I feel just as positive about Savernake View. Each and every one of the staff is absolutely brilliant. I remember being so impressed how every member of staff knew my Mum's name after just a few days! They are all so kind, caring and cheerful, and always happy to stop and have a chat to Mum. The activities team put on a brilliant array of fun things to do every day and the meals are delicious and freshly prepared by the kitchen team. I can truly rest assured that Mum is receiving the most excellent care in very comfortable surroundings. Thank you to everyone at Savernake View.

is always someone there. She enjoys the various activities available to her and particularly enjoys the trips out. Her friends and family are made very welcome when they visit. As her daughter, it gives me great peace of mind to know she is well cared for.

sure Mum could hear her by remembering to talk to her good ear. We were sold on this alone.
She never wanted to be in a home, but sadly circumstances have meant she has had no option. Despite this she is incredibly happy with a lovely room overlooking the garden and the staff are top notch in their care of her, from reception to management. As her children my brother and I could not be happier knowing that she is so supported and cared for. It feels very much like home to us now too everytime we visit and this is exactly the atmosphere that we wanted her to be in. She has frequent visitors and they all tell us exactly the same, just how lovely everyone is and so welcoming.

most experienced. It was so hard leaving Mum - we live the other side of the country and are about to be out of the country for a family wedding so it was a leap of faith that she would be so well cared for but she has only found kindness amongst the staff. The food is great too - and Mum is already saying that she is going to put on pounds (which she could certainly do with doing!)
The only thing it isn't - is her own home - which she still misses very much - but they are doing all they can to make it a happy and safe environment for her and feel as near as they possibly can to home for her (which we appreciate very much), and it is very early days (less than a week!)

beyond to help the residents.
My mother , who is not the easiest person to please , has settled in really well , she is happy and has even managed to take advantage of the varied programme of activities available. We feel her general well being has improved since coming to Savenake as she has plenty of stimulation and company that she didn't have when living alone .

a community atmosphere. Coffee, tea cakes also add to the welcoming ambience.

constantly says how lovely the staff are.

garden is easily accessible from the residents rooms; my parents have loved sitting out there this summer. They have just celebrated a big wedding anniversary and were absolutely delighted by the party Wiltshire Heights put on for them. It was very special to share this celebration with some of our family, recent neighbor's and one or two very old family friends with what feel like our new friends at Wiltshire Heights. Thank you.

and bolts of life are dealt with and I live locally, so can pop in any time (which I do). Mum is capable of accessing all of the entertainment, mini bus trips and exercise opportunities. The staff make sure she is well occupied. She is content.

She would always say she wanted to stay in her own home, but in reality, she is much better off at Savernake View where there is lots going on. It is fresh, modern and sociable. The staff are friendly and kind. My brother and sister like to visit (they live further away) and enjoy taking her out to Savernake Forest and into town, where there are many good coffee shops and lunch venues. She recently turned 95 and her cake was amazing!
