Bowercroft

My Dad has now been a resident in Bowercroft for nearly 3 years, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support the staff have provided during that time. Until covid came along, which has limited the opportunities for visiting my Dad, I know that he is comfortable, and very well cared for, which means I and the rest of the family have no worries as to his physical and mental well being. I cannot thank the staff enough for all that they do, and particularly in light of the pandemic, the difficulties they have had to overcome during this very trying time.

I have my mother in Bowercroft, she started her stay on 30th December 2019, after being in hospital for some time with a broken hip, came out of there ok, quite remarkable as she was 97. She has settled down and now she seems to be a different person, this is all down to the care she is getting from incredible staff members at Bowercroft, she is very happy and has made friends with lots of residents, there is always something going on to keep them occupied, also the food is freshly prepared. I can only say that my choice of Bowercroft was the right choice and has restored my feelings on care homes. I would go as far to say that I don’t think you could find a better and as caring care home as Bowercroft. I would strongly recommend it to anyone that has to put their mother or father into care. Look no further, Bowercroft is quite unique. 5 stars from myself and the rest of her family.

I'm so grateful that my Dad is being so well looked after by all the staff at Bowercroft. It is a relief to know that he is in such good hands during this very difficult time and I know that I'll be able to visit him as soon as it is safe to do so. The family have been very well informed at all stages of the pandemic and the staff have worked tirelessly to keep Dad safe and happy.

My wife has received exceptional care and attention, particularly during the covid 19 lockdowns. The staff are extremely helpful, caring and friendly and the manager does an excellent job of running the establishment. My wife is quite content in living at this care home and does not want to leave.

Cannot wish for more, everything is truly excellent.

The care that mum receives at Bowercroft is second to none. I can completely rely on them to see to all her needs in a joyfully and respectfully way. It always cheers me up when I visit. Bowercroft is a warm, friendly and loving home for loved ones. She receives so much better care than I could ever give.

My aunt has Alzheimer's and was living at home alone. Her condition deteriorated significantly a couple of months ago and I had to get her admitted to hospital due to being dehydrated. We then had to take the decision to get her into a care home as she could no longer care for herself. We found Bowercroft on the internet and she has been there since the beginning of September. We are genuinely over the moon about the quality of care she now receives and the beautiful home she is in. It is so modern and homely and more like a posh retirement home! The staff are outstanding and the manager is one in a million. It is simply just perfect for my aunt.

I went to Bowercroft straight from hospital. It was difficult at first both for me and the staff because my problems are more physical than mental and they are used to dealing with dementia and associated difficulties, whereas I found it frustrating albeit we soon adjusted and they were wonderful in every sense of the word they treated me with utmost care and concern. I moved only because I have a close friend who has had a stroke and a friend found a place for us to be together because she needs nursing care and Bowercroft has no registered nurses. I have the highest regard for the manager and staff at Bowercroft.

I have no concerns about my mother’s care and the house is always clean and they are very friendly and helpful.

We are both happy that the decision to place them into care and the choice of Bowercroft has proved to be totally the right one.

If I ever needed care this would be the place that I would want to go to.

Knowing that Mother is in such a well run, safe and caring environment is a great reassurance and I would be happy to recommend Bowercroft to anyone.

My Mother-in-law has been a resident for 21 months. I have been extremely impressed by the standard of care given at Bowercroft. The team has strong leadership and all staff members are professional, caring, and fun, a balance which is very hard to achieve. My mother in law is very happy there and her physical and mental well being has improved since she has been a resident. We as a family can relax knowing our loved one is safe and being well cared for.

Bowercroft gives a happy and caring atmosphere and I cannot fault anything.

My elderly aunt (95) has been resident at Bowercroft for over one year now. I have found the home and staff to be excellent in all respects. Visiting several care homes for my aunt, I felt Bowercroft's caring attitude and professional approach, as soon as I entered the building. The staff do a sometimes difficult job in trying circumstances, but I have always found them to be exemplary. I would definitely recommend Bowercroft to any person enquiring of my experience and have indeed done so already.

Would thoroughly recommend this delightful home.

Management excellent. Staff are excellent. Can't fault anything. We were very worried about putting mum into care. You hear and see things in the papers and TV you don't know what to do for the best. I am 69 and my husband is 75 and we felt we couldn't cope. We looked at 20+ care homes and this was the best. Wonderful.

Mum desperately needed care following the passing of my Father 5 years earlier and her increasing dementia. The strain was growing on the family with frequent visits from family and care workers. Mum was against going into care but was constantly stressed by the world around her. Following an accident, the family made the hard decision that mum must go into care. We chose Bowercroft and they had a spare place. The staff worked discreetly with us to put everything in place for mum’s arrival. On the day we all told mum and to our surprise, mum was delighted, we think she was scared of making a decision, two hours later, she was walking into Bowercroft, within an hour sitting down and munching through a plate of sandwiches! We visited again that evening and found her happily chatting with a new group of friends! Bowercroft and the staff are wonderful, mum now looks 10 years younger, a huge weight has been lifted from her and our shoulders, I cannot praise Bowercroft enough.

The carers give 100% of their time, no matter what I ask them to do, to tend to my needs, I am very appreciative. Even helping me put on my stockings which is a very difficult thing to do. They are all so patient. Thank you.

Since my mum arrived she has seemed less tired, and in less pain. Her general health has improved because she is so well looked after and is no longer isolated or afraid. I can now rest easy knowing she is in such a lovely 'homely' home.
