Firstly I wanted to say how fantastic the family BBQ was. We all really enjoyed it & it was lovely for my Grandsons to see Grandad out in the fresh air enjoying the Alpacas & singer. The team did an amazing job. Also a thankyou for letting us have the cinema room for a birthday tea and for decorating the room with balloons and banners. It was very much appreciated and we had a lovely time celebrating his birthday. Many thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your lovely review. My team and I so pleased you all had a wonderful time!
Staff are lovely and friendly, but it is understaffed. Food is amazing with lots of different choices. Activities for residents are good and they make sure everyone is involved and do lovely events for family to attend.

My wife entered care direct from hospital. She has undefined dementia. The entry process went smoothly and she appears to have settled well. Regular staff seem to be very professional and caring but our family have noticed that she is less happy at weekends and holiday times. Could this be because weekend staff are different and less dedicated to care of residents? Perhaps they are less patient. Meals seem to be well prepared and I understand she is eating well.
My mum is well cared for with plenty of staff on hand. Good food and activities. And visitors welcomed.

Staff are welcoming to relatives, but maintenance and repairs in residents are slow to happen. Relatives meetings are useful and informative.

Staff at the care home are very welcoming and attentive to mum's needs and any problems I may have. The dining room is very nice and the food looks very nice. The laundry service works very well and the room, lounges and cinema room are well decorated and comfortable.

Queensway House has a very warm and caring feel and the staff are always very attentive and respond quickly to any care needs. The dining and living areas are spacious and bright, the bedrooms bright and clean. We have been delighted at the care my dad received, initially from the dementia staff and laterally from the nursing team. We felt that during his final months he was well looked after with care and compassion. The team kept us informed on a regular basis.
Thank you for taking the time to share this. It's really lovely to hear how warmly Queensway House has felt and that you were happy with the care your dad received.

Mum came to Queensway for respite following a nasty fall. Her mobility was compromised and had lost her confidence. The staff have been tremendous in helping her regain both. Her room was clean and fresh with a view into the garden. A sizeable wet room has helped her and her carers to aid her in recovery. The corridors and communal areas are clean and airy. All the staff have a lovely attitude towards the residents. Our family would be happy for mum to return to Queensway if she ever needs more care.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience of our home and for your kind words which mean a lot to us all. Thank you, Charlotte, Bev and all the team at QW.

From my experience of visiting my Nan I would advise people to completely avoid this care home. There was a distinct lack of care throughout from simple things like cleanliness to care for the patients. As soon as you walk in you are greeting with horrendous smells and grime throughout the building. In terms of the care for my Nan I was far from impressed, clothes went missing and when asked we were greeted by nothing but excuses, her clothes that didn't go missing were a mess and just thrown at the bottom of her wardrobe without any care. She was eventally moved but during the move we noticed even things like her toe nails were not treated and had grown to disgunsting lengths that left us in shock. There was just no care provided and it was like she was just left to rot in her room. As far as the staff go there were some that tried but not enough of them did and there was even verbal abuse towards my Mum that left her feeling distrort, upset and overall unwelcome at the care home.
Whilst we appreciate you are a close relative of the next of kin of one of our former residents, we cannot find any record of you visiting the home and we do not feel that your account relates to a first-hand experience.
Thankyou...
Thankyou so much to all the staff who have made us all feel welcome and supported throughout.
Nothing is to much trouble.
Thank you for your kind words. I will be sure to share your lovely feedback with all the staff.
