Over all time Willows Lodge Care Home has 31 reviews.
Totally incompetent, treat all residents as though they have dementia, don't listen to their concerns, take ages to answer call button. Either get washed at 6am or needs family to intervene for them to be washed at 2.30 in the afternoon. Open their mail and file away without showing resident and final insult call the dead person's mobile and not the family to inform they died 2 hrs ago and then gave wrong number to coroner, just the tip of the iceberg, avoid at all costs.
I am sorry that you were unsatisfied with the experience you had whilst we cared for your dear husband. We have investigated the concerns you have raised and have found that the issues you have highlighted in your review are incorrect and are untrue and are an unfair representation of the facts....
If there are such things as angels on earth - they 100% work at Willows Lodge, the staff are truly wonderful. The care and compassion my uncle received in his short time at this home were incredible. The staff looked after him and treated him like he was their own relative, their way of dealing with and interacting with him was so kind and thoughtful, despite some challenging behaviours due to dementia. The contact and communication with family is also constant with questions answered and time always taken to ensure what is discussed is understood. My uncle was always kept clean and his clothes changed, his dignity was always maintained and his end of life care was second to none. As his relatives, we were always made to feel welcome and never too much trouble to have a cup of tea or a chat during what we know are very busy working times for the staff. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for what you do.
Thank you for your lovely feedback which was so appreciated by all the staff. It is really valued to hear they provided your uncle with the best care and dignity and you felt supported too as the staff take great pride in all they do.
My uncle arrived on the day the home went into lockdown last March and since then, the care he has recieved has been amazing. All the staff, management and chef are all caring and so supportive to us as a family and to my uncle. The home is nice and clean and they go above and beyond. It's been tough not being able to see him a lot over the past 10 months, but they have made it easier. I wanted to thank them, so I bought a gazebo for the garden for visits for us and other families to visit our relatives, when possible, as it is so important for them to know they have not been forgotten. That is what worried me about his dementia. He thinks I don't care, not understanding about the virus, but the staff keep the communication open with video calls etc. This home is a must if you are looking for great care for your family member. 100%.
My mum is in great hands with all staff who I know love and care for her.
Whilst these times are difficult for mum and myself, I have to stand outside by the window to talk to her, I always have someone inside caring for her.
Everyone was so lovely to him and to us as a family nothing was to much trouble for them.
We cannot recommend this nursing home highly enough.
Questions are always answered and if the answer is not known, it is found and reported back. They saved my dad's life when he had a fit early January. I will forever be grateful.
My mum has been in Willows Lodge for a few years now. When she first arrived there she was underweight, she refused to walk and feed herself. But with the help and support from staff, she now walks around aided with a frame. She has put on weight, to the point where I have had to go and buy new clothes for her - twice! She is happy and very settled there now. Staff are very friendly and happy to help.
Amazing staff, very caring and lovely bunch.
My Nan came to this home in July 2015 until December 2015. She has been so happy here, well looked after, clean all the time. The staff have treated my Nan so well. Also at the end of life they looked after us as well and could not do any more to help us. They are underpaid for what they do and work long hours and this puts them under pressure. We cannot recommend this nursing home highly enough and are so thankful.
My nan came here in July 2015 with severe dementia and terminal stage 4 cancer, we had a very bad experience with nan at her previous care home. We literally couldn't have asked for any better care for not only my nan but for the whole of my family when visiting. They have made my nan's last months joyful, happy and extremely content. All the nurses and carers have gone beyond the call of duty and care. We are astonished with their kindness. They need and deserve much more acknowledgement for all they do.
My mother was receiving end of life care. Your nurses, head carers, carers, cleaners are wonderful, they have given a top service. They looked after mum, she was so clean and had all her dignity while she was passing. I can't thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.
