Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure looking after you, as you state, the manager and staff are dedicated and committed and will really appreciate your kind comments. I too found it very pleasant to have chats with you. Once again, many thanks.
My family and I were extremely satisfied with my mum's stay at Wensley House. She was treated as an individual and they did everything possible to satisfy her needs. The staff were patient and caring and kept in touch with us in this difficult time of Coronavirus as we weren't able to...

I only wish mum had enjoyed more time there.
Many thanks for your review. The Manager and Staff are, to use your comment, exceptional and would appreciate your review. I too wish your Mum spent more time with us so that I could have met her. I understand she was very witty and also loved singing with one of her favourite songs being "We're busy doing nothing" by Bing Crosby. Hopefully, I will have an opportunity to meet you in the future.

The staff at Wensley House are fantastic, especially as I live in Australia, they maintain excellent communications and keep me up to date on any situation with regular updates.
The nursing home is very clean, the staff are excellent, very friendly with residents and very accommodating to their needs.
The activities are restricted to the nursing home but everyone seemed happy to join in and participate. I know Wensley House has looked at many different ways to keep the residents entertained.
The management are extremely friendly and have helped me immensely with our difficult situation of distance.
My mother is happy, in good health, well feed, well looked after in a clean and safe environment. Wensley House is well maintained, warm in winter and has flourishing gardens for residents in the summer.
I am very reassured that Mum is in an excellent location.
I visit my mother once or twice a week and have been doing so for the last three years. I have full confidence in the staff and management to continue to look after my mother.

It is a pleasure looking after your mother over the last three years. It is also lovely when you visit along with your beautiful Boxer Dog, Winny who has become a friend to all our Residents and enjoy her presence.
We, as a family, could not have had better care for our Mum. She was treated with kindness, respect and dignity. The manager and cook were amazing, taking such good care of her, as were the staff.

Though we are a Residential Care Home, we have four staff including the Manager who trained as General Nurses in Romania and know their job and it is privilege to work with them and the Care provided is exceptional.
I have found the staff and management very caring and helpful. My mother has confidence in everything that is being done for her. After living alone for a while they have done everything they can to make her stay as pleasant as possible.

Thank you for your comments about the staff who are always on hand, your comments will be shared with the staff who will no doubt appreciate them. Once again, many thanks.
I would recommend the care home where my mother lives. The staff are always friendly and my mother gets along with all of them, which is so reassuring to know she is in good hands.

Thank you very much for your comments about the staff, I have no doubt they will appreciate your comments just as I do. Your mother is a lovely lady and it is a pleasure to have her in The Home.
When my mother first came to Wensley House we had issues, but the management listened to us and acted upon them to our satisfaction, and now I have only good things to say about Wensley House. 10 out of 10.

Thank you for your review. It is good to know that you are pleased with the new manager/management who was your choice. I am sure that the manager will be heartened by your comments. Long may she keep up the good work.

Thank you for your review and your continued support for the residents and the home. It is much appreciated.
My husband is very well looked after. The staff are very good, and kind to the less able residents, and give me reports on how he is doing.

This is a wonderful care home and believe me I’ve visited a lot. It’s certainly the best in the area in my opinion. It is clean, well presented and safe. Staff are amazing. They are kind and caring and all have a good sense of humour. They treat residents with dignity and respect. Residents are well looked after and very well fed. We take my father out regularly but he often doesn’t want to leave as the food is so good. The eating area is very pleasant as is the conservatory area where residents are treated to hair treatments. The only downside that I can see is the lack of time outside. However, I can understand this, as older people don’t cope well in the heat or the cold so finding the balance is difficult. The owner is present a lot and clearly genuinely cares. I strongly recommend this home.

I can only recommend Wensley House exceptionally. All the staff are warm, friendly and know all the residents so well. The facilities offer a "home from home" experience that is comfortable, excellent food and care. The residents are kept entertained with activities and one to one 'chats'. Wensley is fantastic value for money and my Mum relaxed and loved her time there. The bedrooms are a good size, airy and always clean, as are the day rooms. This privately-run home offers so much more. Well run, well priced and highly recommended.
When mum first came here there were a few concerns raised but these have now been addressed. I cannot praise the home and staff enough.
