Thank you so much for this lovely review. We love Nanny very much
We are so pleased with how happy Mum is here, then is always something going on, she loves the entertainment, particularly the singers. Thank you Stroud House for looking after her so well.

Thank you for leaving a review. Mum really has settled well and is one of the loveliest ladies. She really does enjoy the music and today being no exception. Hope you are well and look forward to seeing you soon. xx

She seems to be doing something different every day, be it, dancing, crafts, and visits out and about which is amazing. The carers do an amazing job helping to navigate these vulnerable people through such a confusing time.
This makes me very happy. She has settled in well, whilst she may say not. Positivity and reassurance are the way forward. Hope to meet you soon.
Mum went into care in early January after a stay in hospital. The transition Stroud House performed was nothing short of a miracle! Mum suffers very badly with anxiety issues so it was a real worry as to how this would pan out. In a very short space of time, she seems to be settling in her "new...
Stroud House has made a difficult family time, a lot more Human. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to send a reply. It means a lot. Mum has the most amazing, addictive personality and it is a joy to have her at Stroud House. I will pass on the review to the staff as it does give them such a boost. Eventually Mum will finish knitting my leg warmers. She has started them about 30 times now lol.

We visited a very old friend who had only quite recently started her life at Stroud House. It was the first time we had been there and we went to have lunch with her on her birthday. The staff were all very friendly and efficient and we had a good lunch at a table they had kindly set up for us in a place where we could have a pleasant uninterrupted chat. There was a birthday banner and balloons. The place seemed spotlessly clean, with a happy atmosphere and plenty of staff. We were re-assured that our friend was being well looked after and with lots going on, enjoying a stimulating time.
Thank you for your kind words and we are so happy you enjoyed lunch. You are welcome anytime.

I would happily recommend Stroud House if you are looking for good quality, thoughtful care for a family member.
Thank you for your kind words. For the short time that Mum has been at Stroud House, she has settled in so well and really is the most beautiful person inside and out. Mum really does enjoy every activity and we have such lovely photos of her. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Stroud House was a warm, welcoming place from the very start when Mum moved there - and it quickly became her home in the true sense of the word. Mum loved the staff and she was so well looked after. Not only that, but the staff were very supportive of us as a family too. There are lots of activities each week and lots of opportunities to socialise - so important for those with dementia. Mum was really loved by everyone at Stroud House right up until her death and we will be forever grateful for that.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It does not matter how many reviews we receive as a Home, each and every one we continue to fill myself and the team with immense pride and gratitude. To make a difference is truly the best feeling. Thank you again. We wish you and your family the most wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Following a further deterioration in her general health, our mum/gran moved to Stroud House, a smaller sister home to Down's House where daily life is at a quieter pace and more medical/nursing support is available. The staff were outstanding in their welcome and care, but sadly her health...
We will be eternally grateful for the support to us as a family which took a lot of the anguish and worry off our shoulders. The highest recommendation we can give. Thank you one and all.
My goodness thank you so much. Sometimes a thank you doesn't seem to be enough to express the warmth we feel when receiving reviews like yours, but our 'Thank you' speaks volumes. Have the most amazing Christmas and sending you all love.
They welcomed me and were always friendly and...
I could not recommend this care home enough.
Thank you for your kind words and the review you completed; it is so important that families review our care home. This allows others who are considering our care home to see things from your experience. Dad was such a breath of fresh air with his sense of humour. From Stroud House, we wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
My wonderful dad received excellent care at Stroud House and he always spoke fondly of the staff as they were always very friendly and caring. When visiting I was also made to feel welcome. My one criticism is that his room was rather small and there wasn't any room for a wardrobe.

Thank you so much for this review. We miss Dad a lot. You are right, the room was small but we are looking at how best we can make changes at Stroud House and the Directors are working closely with myself to ensure that any changes are positive ones and this will be something that is looked at. We wish you all a Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
The staff realise putting your loved ones into care is not an easy decision. Keep you informed of any...
I would recommend Stroud House without a doubt.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. We truly appreciate the time and effort you have taken to write this review. As you know, Mum and I are practically joined at the hip. We try our hardest to keep out of mischief, but what we do continue to do is smile as much as we can. Thank you again and hope to see you and your husband soon.

My mum has only recently joined Stroud House, but somehow, in such a short time, they've been able to resurrect some of my mum's old joyful self, which I thought had been lost to Alzheimer's. She is engaging with the community spirit at Stroud House, is already more sociable, and is clearly having moments of joy. The care team has been outstanding at helping my mum settle in, showing great skill in encouraging her to be receptive to personal care and new routines. They are focused on what will improve her well-being and have shown genuine care, friendship, and love. I have honestly been very impressed and so grateful to the team.
Thank you for your review. What a wonderful lady your Mum is. She is up for all kinds of fun and encourages other residents to participate in activities too. It is always a difficult and soul-searching decision when looking for a placement for a loved one and we are so grateful that you chose...
Thank you for your review. What a wonderful lady your Mum is. She is up for all kinds of fun and encourages other residents to participate in activities too. It is always a difficult and soul-searching decision when looking for a placement for a loved one and we are so grateful that you chose Stroud House. We will continue to encourage and support Mum and hope that you both make some lovely precious new memories.

My mum has been living at Stroud house for a couple of years now. At first, she was very high maintenance for the staff as she was angry and upset and caused distress but they handled her so well. Always caring for her and comforting her even though she may have been angry with them. After a few months, Mum settled, I have always found the staff amazing, they are all so friendly and caring to all residents and visitors. We always feel welcome whenever we visit and offer refreshments. The staff always seem happy as well as the residents, the home itself needs a little updating but I have always thought that care is the most important thing. The chef and catering team do an outstanding job and I have always been impressed with the standard of food and choice of foods. I would definitely recommend Stroud House to others.
We are so, so grateful you took the time to share your thoughts. We always welcome feedback. Mum is an amazing woman, one full of the most enchanting personality.

We are so, so grateful you took the time to share your thoughts. We always welcome feedback. Mum is an amazing woman, one full of the most enchanting personality. She can often be found laughing at my silly little dance or singing along with musical entertainment. She is loved. I agree, that care is the most important factor over how the home looks, but we are excited to be soon having a high standard of care in a high-standard home. You know how excited I was to show you the tiles in the bathroom...lol. You and your family are always welcome for cake or even to join Mum at lunch. Looking forward to seeing you soon and thank you once again.
We were very happy to have had our dad stay with South Downs. They were incredibly kind and provided a level of personal care and affection, going well above and beyond what was expected. Unfortunately, Dad is no longer with us, but South Downs made sure his last months were as comfortable and fun...

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. Dad was an immense character who brought a smile to us all. He is sadly missed. We hope you are well and wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Mum has been a resident at Stroud for a few years now and when I visit she always seems comfortable and happy. My elderly father visits Mum regularly and is always happy with how Mum is. The staff always inform me of any concerns they have about Mum.

Thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate receiving them. We try our very best to ensure Mum and Dad, (when he visits) are happy. They have both recently really enjoyed our activities which is so lovely to see. Lots of laughing from them both.
Care given is with respect and compassion and residents are all treated kindly and with love. Residents have advanced dementia and there is understanding of how to communicate and manage residents who may be difficult at times.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, it means a lot to me and the care team at Stroud House. We love all the residents living at Stroud and really hope our residents and families can see we really do try to make a difference.

It is a very difficult decision to choose a care home but I'm pleased we chose Stroud House for my parents and very grateful for the excellent care, kindness and understanding shown to them.
Thank you for such a heartwarming review, it means a lot to me and the team at Stroud House. It was a pleasure to look after both of them. If you are ever in the area, please do pop in for a coffee.

My mum has been a resident for four years. I have nothing but praise for the management and staff who seem to really care for my mum and carefully consider her needs. I would not place her anywhere else. After a spell in hospital during which my mum deteriorated, they looked after her really well and brought her back to good health. The rooms are a little shabby, but the care provided is excellent. Considering that most residents have dementia I am impressed that no matter when I visit, all the residents seem happy and clean.
Thank you for your review, Paul. We are delighted you are happy with the care your mum is receiving at Stroud House. Refurbishment at Stroud is underway, we are confident you will like the results and we welcome any feedback on your next visit.
