Overall Experience

The manager and all staff I have met have a wonderful with empathy and ability to understand residents' needs, which are many and varied. The respect for individuals' preferences and needs are met with understanding and good humour. I am always welcome when I visit. I am fully informed promptly on any

issues or health problems. I have full confidence and trust in the knowledge that my husband is safe, well nourished, and kept hygienic. He is encouraged and takes part in many varied activities on offer. I would recommend Southway without hesitation.

My partner has now been at Southways Bedford coming up for 2 years.
All the staff and office workers including managers are very understanding and lovely to everybody.
I have been there various times of the day and is always clean and beds made etc.
The staff make you feel welcome and will aways

have a chat to you.
I feel at ease leaving my partner there under there care as this was a difficult time in my life.

Review from Christine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A wonderful caring home. The staff are friendly and conscientious. My mother was looked after with loving care. The rooms were ample and each small unit had its own lounge and dining room. Perfect for those like my mother who do not like large, busy, noisy dining rooms.
They celebrated birthdays and

Christmas involving everyone including the relatives.
They have music and crafts. Manicures and a lovely hairdresser in house.
Visits, parties and trips out to the river. Nothing was too much trouble.
I cannot recommend this home enough.
