Care Homes Owned by Strong Life Care Ltd in Tyne & Wear

If the time comes and my mam needs permanent care I wouldn't hesitate to bring her back .

Mam has been in Garden Hill for one month. She has settled with no problems. The home is clean. The staff are very professional, caring and patient. The facilities are very good, with activities on for the residents both morning and afternoon. The meals are good and mams' dieary needs are catered for.

I am writing a very positive review. I was a close friend to a resident. The resident received very good nursing care from all staff (Care workers, Nursing staff and Management) The atmosphere in Barnes Court Care Centre is extremely good and the whole building is very welcoming. The word professional springs to mind when thinking about my friends care and support during his time at Barnes Court.

My brother is well looked after and the staff, all his needs are met

Over all care is excellent and high standard.

My mum has been at Garden Hill for 18 months and has settled well. All carers and all other staff show great respect and give excellent care. A very 'homely' home from home.

great manager of this home really helpful and caring. Staff are very friendly.

I love where my room is situated, management is great, staff are willing to help.

The staff are caring and attentive. I appreciate that they acknowledge and respond to my mother's interests and wishes. Any requests (/and repairs) are dealt with quickly and efficiently. I also like that I can tell there is always an effort to improve things in the care home rather than simply maintain the status quo. Overall, I am impressed with Barnes Court Care Centre and recommend it when people ask about the place.

I cannot recommend Barnes Court's management and staff enough!

Dad has been in home for 4 months his transition from living dependantly has been difficult for him. Day staff have been excellent he has struggled with night staff due to his poor eyesight and deafness night staff have been agency with strong accents difficult to understand. Day staff are mostly perm giving dad consistancy as they understand his difficulties. Management and administrator have been very supportive. Entertainment team very engaging and have frequent conversations with dad. On occassions not enough staff for personal care, or meal times if toileting is needed due to needing 2 carers.

On our visit to view Garden Hill we instantly had a good feeling about the home itself and the staff. Since my mums admission we have experienced care, empathy, friendliness, from both staff + management. My mum has now been a resident for 2+ months and is very happy + feels comfortable in her surroundings. Mum was had a couple of little non serious falls, communication to me was very prompt which is very reassuring. Overall we are very happy with all aspects of the home - in particular the brilliant activities managed by a wonderful activitiy co-ordinator.

My mother has been in residence for just over 1yrs there were several issues early on. I now feel very comfortable with her situation. The home is now a pleasant, comfortable and moreover safe place that is the closest to home as its ever been. The staff and management are approachable and responsive and care now seems to be the main thing.

My brother has been here for 2 weeks so far. I cannot praise the staff enough. Their care has been spot on. My brother (not known for praise) has actually commented on how great the staff have been with him and how lovely the meals are. High praise indeed.

Handyman supposedly fixing - but has not. Can this be rectified please, as TV is company.

My mum came to Garden Hill Care Home from hospital. The staff are fantastic, they take her out, have family events that we can join in and make memories. The home is lovely and she enjoys her meals. The manager is very helpful and no job is to big or small for her.

Lovely facility, my father is always well cared for, clean, well fed and happy. Staff are amazing with him and I take comfort knowing he is safe, well cared for and valued. Some amenities could do with updating and more cleaning staff would help. Better external facilities would benefit visits some redecoration has started but not completed.

My father was in the care of Garden Hill for 2 weeks until he sadly passed away. In that time, he was treated with respect and caring, from staff that quickly became our friends. They are all lovely people, who really care about their residents. My dad required nursing care, which I cannot fault. At the end, we were informed with enough time to be with him. They were very kind to us as a family. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Garden Hill to anyone with such needs as ours. Thank you so much.

The carers, nursing and management staff are all very friendly, compassionate and professional making me feel very welcome. Accomodation is comfortable and the food is delicious. I would recommend the care home to those who need care.

Overall the home has a welcoming and positive atmosphere and I would definitely recommend it.
