Overall care has been very good. The care staff are lovely.
Worried for the future for space with extra residents. Quiet lounge being used for too many other events i.e. staff meeting, staff eating dinner and reducing space for quiet visits.
Laundry not very efficient, my husband's clothes lost and

Laundry not very efficient, my husband's clothes lost and
he was dressed in someone else's (lady) clothes.
Cleaning very good and note taking regarding residents very good.

Reply from Ruth Sohail, Home Manager at Bluebell House
thank you for your review . thanks for raising your concerns regarding your husband clothes and the front lounge . As you know the home is going through refurbishment and sometime the front lounge is used for staff meeting or training. just to reassure you as a part of refurbishment we will be having training / Meeting room available soon. this mean the front lounge will be less interrupted and families can use that room as a quiet room. i am very sorry for any inconvenience

My grandad has been at Bluebell House for three months now and wow, what a wonderful place. It is always a worry when trying to pick the right place but we have with Bluebell, me and all my family are so pleased. Staff are great with him and his needs. Activities are brilliant and it has been lovely
to see all the residents get involved. The care here is to a high standard and nothing is too much. I love its open-door policy and we can come and go when we want and are always welcomed. Grandad had his 93rd birthday last week and the home accommodated our large family so we could celebrate with him and made it so special with entertainment too. Such a relief for us to leave Grandad there and not have to worry. We are updated constantly if Grandad's needs change. Thank you so much to all staff at Bluebell for all you do. You are all so special.

I am very satisfied with the care and consideration from all the staff at Bluebell House.
They are kind, caring and make sure that they cater for all Mum's needs.
I like that you don't need to make an appointment to visit, just pop in, which to me, means that everyone/everything you see is genuine.

I am very impressed with Bluebell House. It's early days, my father has not been here very long, building improvements continue, hence good for facilities. I have not yet seen activities in progress. The staff are very professional, polite and caring at all times. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.
I can honestly say that when my time comes, this will be the care home for me! I can sleep at night knowing my father is being very well cared for. Thank you all.

What a wonderful Christmas party for the residents and family at Bluebell House today. You could tell it was special by the smiling faces of the residents. It is so important for them to feel happy in their environment. I, on behalf of my mother, would like to thank all the staff for their hard work,
dedication and most of all, the care they show, not only today but throughout the year. Particular mention to the entertainment and catering staff who helped make the day special. What a great start to Christmas. Thanks to the whole Bluebell team.

The staff at Hollies Care Home provided my grandfather with exceptional care and kindness during his final few months. Every single team member: kitchen staff, nurses and management, etc. were so compassionate to not only him but also my entire family. I am so eternally grateful that this was the care
home chosen for him. He had a laryngectomy and could not speak but everyone went above and beyond to communicate with him and ensure he was comfortable right to the end.
Reply from Caroline Walker, Marketing at Hollies Care Home
Thank you so much for your very kind words which the whole team appreciates. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your grandfather and to meet your lovely family. He is missed at Hollies, as I know he is by you all.

We always receive a warm welcome when visiting at Bluebell House. All staff take time and care for each resident. Management always take time to update me on how my uncle is doing, I am able to ask any questions I need to. I have especially enjoyed attending planned events to spend quality time with
my uncle.

Welcoming, friendly staff, very helpful, keen to settle new residents into the home. Plenty of carried activities, lovely staff encourage residents to join in or observe activities. Make good use of the garden.
Rooms are lovely and homely. Food is plentiful and well-presented.
Mum has settled well.

My sister is very happy in the home. She likes the food and is very well looked after by the staff. I like the fact that they respond to issues quickly and give my sister the support she needs. The home is currently undergoing renovations at present and the bedrooms that have been done are looking a
lot better for it.

Can't thank this wonderful team at Hollies.
Who are friendly, polite, helpful, and supportive plus very professional at all times.
My mother wasn't there long, as she passed away, but in the little time she was there, she had good support and nothing was too much trouble.
