All en-suite (some also with wet rooms) personalised rooms, a modern nurse call system, an advanced addressable fire alarm (pinpoints by exact location), and a gated development to allow for walks and an outdoor lifestyle and dining are just some of the things that make this a welcome home.
Be it the Oak Room, with warm oak walls where you can receive entertainers, enjoy movies, religious services, or the Garden Room, with end-to-end patio doors bringing the summer indoors, the airy conservatory to share with new resident budgies, or the dining room for all day refreshments and a choice of meals freshly prepared by a chef on the premises (top five star food hygiene rating) there is always a place to relax.

I must reiterate that it is very pleasant and heartening to see you at The Home on a regular basis visiting your mum. Needless to say, she is a Lovely Lady and as a hundred Year Old is a pleasure to take care of. With our very best wishes, The Directors.

Wensley House Care Home is a lovely home for any family members which is like a home from home. The residents are really cared for and loving. They do the residents' washing, and clothing and provide three meals a day which is so lovely that they can choose from. Their sleeping rooms are lovely and cosy. My mother-in-law is staying at the home and she is so happy and makes her family really happy and she doesn't want to leave. Visiting times are so relaxed and you are allowed to take them out to visit other people. Every member of staff is very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your kind comments, I am sure the manager and staff will really appreciate your comments. Looking after your mother-in-law who is one of our 100 year olds is a pleasure. See you and your dear wife soon. Best wishes.

My brother-in-law has been in several homes since he was six months old and he has been in them for 78 years. This is the best home he has been in all his life. The owners and managers and staff are all fantastic. He is looked after like a king.

This is a wonderful care home. My family and I are very satisfied with our 92-year-old mum staying at Wensley House. The staff are so good with Mum and very patient, especially as there is a language barrier which makes understanding needs and communication sometimes challenging. The staff treat Mum with kindness, respect and dignity. The manager speaks a little Spanish and tries whenever she can to speak to Mum in Spanish. I couldn't wish for more! The manager and the owner are always available to answer any questions and provide regular updates.
Thank you so much for your kind remarks about the home. Your mother is a lovely lady and can only be treated with kindness, respect and dignity. We manage to communicate with your mother, especially the manager and one or two other staff. It is certainly good to have you visit on a regular basis to see your mother.

From the moment I walked into Wensley House to look at it for my dad, nothing has been too much trouble. All the staff have been amazing - so kind, caring and thoughtful. When Dad was in the hospital, the owner and manager kept in touch with us, asking on a daily basis how Dad was doing. Dad is being so well looked after by all the staff. My sister and I visit every day and the care the staff show to all the residents are exceptional.
Thank you so much for your very kind review. The staff will be very pleased to hear that you appreciate the care and attention that they have shown your dad. It is very heartening to see you and your sister visit your dad on a daily basis.

From the first contact with the care home management, I was so happy to see the positive attitude they showed towards my mother. They were informative about the services offered by the home and helpful in providing advice and guidance on transporting my mother into their care. At all times they respected her dignity and cared for her as an individual. They persuaded her to join the other residents in the lounge; the first time I had seen her in trousers and a cardigan for a long time. On the day of my mum's passing, the staff showed such great care not just to Mum but also to my siblings and me, who had gathered for her last hours. They were so dedicated to providing a quality service that even though they were past the end of their shift, two key staff stayed on until my mum had passed on and all the arrangements for the GP attendants and collection by funeral directors were organised. Their thoughtfulness and commitment to providing a complete service to the family were outstanding.
Thank you so much for your kind words. For what it is worth, we were only doing our duty by caring for your mother and treating her with the respect and dignity she deserved.

Thank you so much for your kind words. For what it is worth, we were only doing our duty by caring for your mother and treating her with the respect and dignity she deserved. As it happens, our caring goes on well after the passing of one of our residents as it is at this time the family or friends need our support most. I have no doubt that the staff will be pleased to hear your kind comments and the two key staff you mentioned will be pleased that you appreciated their caring attitude and commitment. Once again, many thanks.

Since my mother became a resident here I have been very pleased to see that she is cared for in a way I could never have imagined. The food standard is above average. Management is of the highest standard, nothing is too much trouble.
Many thanks for your kind review. It is a pleasure looking after your mum and all our other residents, as you have stated, the manager and staff will be very pleased that you appreciate the level of care and the high standards they deliver. Your kind comments will be appreciated by the staff when this review is shared. I too found it very pleasant to have chats with you. Once again, many thanks.

I find all the staff and management at Wensley House polite and professional. My mother, who has dementia, tells me on my visits; they take care of her very well. It is reassuring for me and other family members to know that she is in a safe, clean and caring environment. The manager and the managing director are always available to answer any questions or queries I may have and provide updates on my mother.
Thank you so much for your review. I am sure the manager and staff will be pleased to note that you are appreciative of their efforts. As always, your mum is most entertaining and endearing. Wishing you all the very best.
My mum has dementia. Mum's room is lovely with her own bathroom. Kept very clean. It is value for money compared to other care homes. Mum seems happy.

This is my first experience of a Care Home. Mum has been at Wensley House for a year and a half. During this time my telephone conversations and visits have left me impressed with the staff and the duties they perform as part of their job. Communication is excellent. All staff are helpful, professional and friendly and nothing appears to be too much trouble. A caring culture runs throughout the home. When I realised that Mum could no longer stay in her own home I reluctantly agreed that a care home was the only option. Not only has the move to Wensley House transformed my life but has given me peace of mind knowing that Mum is being properly cared for and she is happy. Covid restrictions have now been relaxed significantly; I am now able to visit regularly and have more of an insight from inside the Home. I cannot fault anything. I often compliment the staff and marvel at how they can maintain their enthusiasm. The answer is always the same, "We love our residents."
Thank you for your kind review. I have no doubt the staff will appreciate your kind comments just as I do. All being well I shall see you on Thursday as usual plus any other days that you may wish to visit.

We had home care visits for Mum for a number of months previous to placing her in the care of Wensley House gave her better and more comprehensive care in the six months. Thanks all at Wensley.
Thank you for your response, I appreciate your kind comments and the staff will be very pleased when your review is shared with them. It is a pleasure looking after your mum and all our other residents and it is certainly very nice meeting up with you and chatting with you. Best wishes.
My granma since being here looks happy and healthy. She has even put on weight which she needed. When a family member calls here about my granma, they are always helpful, the staff. The place is lovely, we walk and talk in the garden she likes it a lot. Good care and support given!

Thank you for your review. Your Grandma certainly loves walking in the garden which she does most days accompanied by a member of staff and another Resident with whom she has made friends. The highlight of your Grandma's week is when she is visited by you and other family members. Finally, the staff will appreciate your comments. Thank you.
