Boulters Lock Residential Home

There is a very happy atmosphere at the home. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are lots of activities for the residents and staff obviously put a lot of planning into how best to stimulate the residents, both physically and mentally. Communication between the home and family members is also excellent.

Mum was looked after by the home for respite care. Mum was in a lot of pain but the staff showed great compassion and helped to bring a little joy back into her life. A trip to Boulters Lock was the highlight and the pictures the staff took that day are treasured by us. The staff are fantastic and everyone from the chef to the carers show great dedication and compassion in their daily work. Thank you to everyone.

I, personally, am always greeted by name and a smile.

Boulters Lock Residential Home is an amazing care home. The staff are truly supportive, kind, caring and nurturing. They work hard and yet, nothing is too much trouble for them as they work together as a very able and multi-skilled team, including the kitchen. They strive to enable each resident to join in their many activities to enhance their life, whilst respecting individuals' own desires. My mum is very happy there and doesn't want to be anywhere else and her health and quality of life have risen since she's been there.

He has a lovely room with views of the planes and birds which he loves to watch. Asa family, we are so happy to know he is well cared for. Thank you!

The reason I am in the residential home because I have history of mental illness but I am a lot better than I have been. I find my care has been 100% better since people have looked after me. I tired looking after my own health but I let my medication slip so needed support. Overall I appreciate the care I receive.

I visited an old friend, staff was very friendly and could not be more accommodating. The food was amazing. It was lovely to see the bond my friend had with the staff and how settled she was in her environment. I look forward to my next visit.

We are so happy with Boulters Lock. It was very difficult for us to decide to find a home for Mum whose Alzheimer's was getting difficult for us not eating properly and going to bed during the day she was so confused. While it has taken a long time for her to settle we knew Boulters was the right place such a lovely atmosphere and not everyone has dementia we have had so much support from the carers and the manager. Mum enjoys the activities with the wonderful activities coordinator, and many lovely staff looking after her I could mention them all but it would take me too long it has given us peace of mind thank you, everybody!

Lovely care home, with lovely staff, a lovely area, it’s fantastic that they hold events for the residents which keeps them entertained. Residents always look happy and clean, the food always smells lovely, such a nice atmosphere, really feels like home.

Really excellent care home. Really feel like you can have peace of mind knowing they are well looked after. Caring and fun staff to bring a smile to everyone’s face! Would recommend this care home to anyone.

My mum was admitted in June after a fall and dementia. She entered not being able to communicate and told she'd never walk again. Roll forward to August, my mum has improved beyond my expectations. She's now able to communicate with small words and walks with aid - solely down the encouragement of the staff. She a new lease of life.

My dad joined her 3 months later with complicated and serious health conditions. When I go and visit I'm amazed how happy, content and comfortable they are. I am an only child and it could have been a very lonely experience but, the Boulters Lock Residential Home team have been an extension of my family.

No one really wants any relative to have to go into care but, for those that are looking for the first time, don't be scared. Boulter's Lock is a home, the staff really do care and they are here to support you and your relative.

As my parents enter this emotional time, they do it together under the roof of family and friends and I'm ever so grateful for that.

On my first visit, I was thrilled at how welcoming I was made and how much happier my brother was. Thank you so much for looking after him so well and I know he is in good hands and look forward to my next visit.

Mum has been a resident since August. She has settled in well and has commented that the staff are friendly and the food is very good. A few teething issues with missing clothes, but these appear to have been resolved.

My mother was transferred here from hospital having had a fall. The staff have been fantastic and all the equipment she needed to keep her comfortable has been requested, delivered and in use. Very good communication to reassure the family.

Caring and well-looked after residents. Friendly and warm staff, giving that extra care to residents. A friendly smile whenever you visit. Very clean and tidy residential home, where the residents feel safe.

My Mother has been here since November 2021, initially for a trial period of 8-weeks. After the trial, she became a permanent resident. My mother has a room on the ground floor with a view of the garden. There are plenty of activities for the residents to get involved in which are usually held in the lounge. The meals are very good and there are copious amounts of tea and biscuits. The carers have organised visits to the dentist, visits from an optician, chiropodist, hairdresser and district nurse. All this has been done in a friendly helpful manner. All the staff are friendly and efficient. I can’t praise them enough.

I can't thank the team enough for their kindness, care and compassion for my dad. They have welcomed dad and helped him adjust to living somewhere new due to his Alzheimer's and his partner having a complex condition. As well as making sure he feels at home and letting him do some gardening to give him a focus for each day, they have ensured that my sister and I have been updated and kept us posted which is really helpful as I live 200-miles away. The care is great but for dad, it's the puddings that win. Thank you all.

My father has Alzheimer's and due to his partner's illness as well, it became urgent to find a care home. The staff at Boulters Lock, are unbelievably caring, friendly and compassionate. They've gone out of their way to settle my dad and keep him calm, whilst encouraging him to make friends and find some sense of purpose. I am so grateful.

A few years ago I worked at Boulters Lock Residential Home and I’m now back doing work in their gardens. During my visits, it was really lovely to see how friendly the team was. I was made very welcome and it was lovely to see some of the previous staff I worked with. The home has such a lovely friendly atmosphere and the food was absolutely lovely. Great home. Highly recommend.

My mother has had a very happy five years at Boulters Lock where she received outstanding care and had lots of fun and great food. She died a peaceful death at 94-years with me by her bedside in her bedroom. The end-of-life care at Boulters Lock gave my mum was truly exceptional - compassionate, gentle, aspect and loving. I could not have asked for more from my beloved mum. Thank you.
