Homemead

Mum has been looked after by the amazing staff for the last three years. Mum can be “tricky” at times - since day one the staff have bonded with her and given her amazing care! I would not hesitate to recommend.

A very warm, caring staff who do their utmost to create a happy, relaxed and joyful atmosphere for all who reside, work and visit. Be sure, no matter how informal things maybe, everything is dealt with quickly and professionally. Whatever you may ask of them, however busy they may be, they deal with it straight away, with a smile on their face and with grace. This gives my mother and me great piece of mind and reassurance for the safety and well-being of my uncle. We know without any doubt we made the right decision when we chose Homemead.

We are so lucky that we found this home for Mum.

Right from visiting the home I felt it gave the vibes I wanted for my Mum. She has recently been widowed and sufferers with Alzheimer's. Finding Homemead, I knew it was right for my Mum. It's not been easy for Mum to settle into new surroundings, but the caring staff have helped tp the highest level. She now is part of the family at Homemead, and I can visit whenever I want. I feel she is safe, cared for and happy.

A very welcoming home with attractive residents lounge. My friend is well cared for, enjoys the activities and the food. The staff are friendly, caring and take time to engage with residents and assist those needing extra help. There always seem to be a good number on duty.

The manager has been wonderful!

I would not hesitate to recommend Homemead.

Very useful and very comforting. Nice little garden when the sun shines. Good friends here, we all sleep quite a lot. Got my own piano here, so I can play when I feel I won't upset people. Comfy chairs, enough for all of us. I think I have been here before and I am quite happy to come back again.

My sister seems to be happy living at Homemead. Her needs are taken care of and her sometimes challenging behaviour has been sensitively dealt with by the competent staff. On occasion, I have been offended by her aggressive attitude towards me and I have the staff to thank for their empathy and comfort at a distressing time for me. For the ratings, I feel unable to express an opinion on some as I do not have the inside information on which I base my judgement.

While some care homes feel like and institution, homemead feels like a "home".

Excellent service provided to residents and visitors kept informed. Very professional.

After only three months my friend has settled in well and seems very happy and well cared for.

My mother had quite a difficult time when she was first accepted into Homemead but the team there were extremely patient and experienced in calming my mother. The home always lets us know of any incidences or doctors appointments etc and my sister and I are very very happy with the home. My mother now loves to tell us all how happy she is and how lovely the home is.

A particular advantage is that the home has its own garden but is also close to Bushy Park which is car and wheelchair accessible.

On each of my visits, I have found activities underway with the staff assisting and encouraging residents to participate.

My impressions on visits every other day are of a caring, well-trained carer staff who deal with a wide behavioural pattern with care and understanding in sometimes difficult circumstances. My wife is clean, wholesome, well dressed and stress-free which is vastly different from behaviour pattern at home under my care. Arranging her entry into Homemead was right for her and my peace of mind that she is in good, caring hands.

Everyone at Homemead makes you feel welcome as soon as you pass through the doors. Even when they are busy they come and make time for you and the whole family. They all have incredible patience, love and support for all the residents.

I'm always pleased to see lots of activities, outings and visitors booked.

My stepmother has been at Homemead for just over three months. Having previously viewed a number of care homes, I am delighted with the good standard and open door policy offered by Homemead, evidenced by the speed at which my stepmother settled in. The home is warm, odour-free, clean, well-staffed and efficiently run by an experienced and friendly team for whom nothing seems too much trouble.

The staff's efficiency has been remarkably consistent and I have found them unfailingly concerned with the detail of my stepmother's care. The food, my stepmother assures me, is very good, which I can well believe as I am convinced that a nourishing diet has played a significant part in the marked improvement in my stepmother's overall health. I have observed assistance and service delivered by engaged staff to all residents with kindness, patience, sensitivity and good humour (and to their relatives too - thank you!).

I have also noticed the staff spend time with residents and I have been pleased to see there are a number of organised activities including river trip and various animal visits. Anywhere that actually allows a pony to come onto the premises most definitely gets my vote!

This is a great place! The staff are welcoming and friendly and look after my gran extremely well. Thanks for all your hard work! Much appreciated.
