Review from Jackie A (Wife of Resident) published on 10 October 2022 Submitted via Website•
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.

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