Relatives are welcomed are welcome to come & see their family members at any time, sometimes staff will encourage you to limit visiting at certain times, but this is ALWAYS discussed with relatives & nothing is enforced.
Staff care as much for the relatives as they do residents which is much appreciated.
The activities lead, is passionate about her role & this shows daily, the range of activities and engagement from ALL staff is wonderful, particularly as the residents requirements differ a lot.
The food served is fabulous, varied & of a very high standard, staff ensure that all residents are offered regular fluids, with a choice of flavours.of squash.
It would be good for mums room to have an en-suite but this is a minor thing & having the excellent things mentioned above far outweighs having an en-suite!
Exemplary Leadership ensures that the devoted staff make this care setting a true home for those who live there: there is a real sense of camaraderie amongst Residents , carers, ancillary staff and wider families engendering mutual support each for the other.

All the staff welcome us by name, with lovely smiles and offers of tea or coffee which is always nice, especially as mum and I used to enjoy going for coffee and cake together.

My mother moved to Stroud House mid-July and I've been pleasantly surprised at how well she has settled. She really was resistant to the move from her own home, but her dementia was getting worse and she wasn't looking after herself properly. The staff have been very caring and kind with her and Mum says she is very well looked after and enjoys the activities and the meals. It's such a relief to know someone is there for her at all times.

A small homely dementia care home with a great atmosphere that treats its residents with care and affection. The management is very dynamic, putting on events, like the August 1st summer fare and has regular musicians and others visiting to entertain the residents. Visiting family members are always warmly welcomed and encouraged to participate in events. The house was recently renovated, particularly in the communal areas and looks great. This communal area looks out onto a well-tended garden that is particularly nice in spring and summer.
We feel lucky to have managed to get a place at Stroud House, which is very convenient for one of our siblings that lives in Petersfield.

My Mum went in to Stroud House in February and has settled really well with the help and kindness of all the staff.
